The Harding plan was undergoing an acid test today It was being con- sidered by Jim" Reed of Missouri, a democrat and the most implacable foe of the Wilson league of all the irrecon- ciliables in the Senate. Republican ir- reconcilables have been charged with opposing the league for partisan pur- poses. Senator Rec dmade heavy po- 1itical and personal sacrifices in main taining his stand against the league and all of it's work. MT. Harding has felt that if his plan for an association could get even the support of MT. Reed it's success would be assured Senator Fall, one of the republican bitter-end- CTS, has indicated that his mind is pre- pared to go along with Senator Hard ing's. Senator Reed, who has just ar rived in Marion is a guest at the Hard ing home The two men are close per- sonal friends. MT. Reed says the Hard ing plan deserves the most thoughtful consideration.

OBJECTIONS TO PLAN

Much of the criticism of the so-called Wilson league is that it was an attempt to go too far; that it sought to lay down rules of action that were entirely too specific; that the covenant was too arbitrary and binding and in effect would tend to rob individual nations of was referred to as one of the objects of the war.
 MT. Harding would have an associa- tion formed on the same general prin- ciples of the League of Nations with the same general purposes of seeking the peace of the world as outlined in the opening statement of the covenant of Versailles.
 He would leave the nations free, how ever, to work out each problem as it arose. After a course of action should sovereign state would have the right to say whether or not it would give ad- herence to that decision. Mir. Bryan stated during his visit with Senator Harding that this was the underlying principle of the 30 treaties negotiated by this country during the time MT. Bryan was Secretary of State. MT. Harding believes that such an associa. tion wolud meet the general desire that some sort of machinery be summed up looking to peaceable settlement of all questions likely to result in war. At the same time America would be left free to express her own opinion as to the Justice and desirability of any course of action DronoSad

CONGRESS LEFT FREE

There would be no appointment of delegates with plenary powers to bind this country in advance to any specific course of action. Congress would at all times be left free, without moral or legal obligations, to make its own de- cisions in any matters affecting the United States in any international un- dertaking.
 Most of the advocates of a League of Nations have insisted all along that the great accomplishment of league would lie in the fact that it would give quar- reling states an opportunity to meet to- gether and talk things over. It has been said that if there had been any existing established means of calling the nations of the world quickly to- gether in 1914 the World war might have been averted. The association MT. Harding has in mind would provide this means of discussion and the further means of alining the public opinion of the world on one side or the other of

a fitting association for world peace. believe we will be able to answer every desire of the American people without the surrender of one thing that we hold dear as a heritage"
 This statement was made in the pres ence of William Jennings Bryan, who nodded approval of what MT. Harding had to say.
 Mir. Bryan also believes in an associa- tion. He never liked Article x at all, but he was willing to accept the so- called Wilson League of Nations as whole believing that objectionable fea- lures of the covenant could be smoothed out later. MT. Bryan lost patience with MT. Wilson when the latter insisted Ar ticle was the heart of the covenant and could not be changed in any way.
