MIR. BRYAN SEEKS
TO CONVERT BORAH
Latest Report Is Idaho Senator Still
Is Irreconcilable-Har to
Retain Versailles Treaty.

Washington, Dec. 22.-William j.
Bryan, who visited President-elect
Harding at Marion recently, held a
long conference today with Senator
Borah of Idaho, a leader among Re-
publican opponents Of the League of
Nations
The purpose of Mr.. Bryan's visit
here was to discuss possibilities Of
obtaining an agreement or reaching
some common ground in the move
ment for the maintenance of world
peace. 1t was said that the views of
Mr. Bryan and the Idaho enator both
were unchanged. Senator Borah re-
manned implacable toward any ar
rangement involving any information
al alliance.
Significance was given Mr.. BTyan's
call upon Senator Borah because of
the formers very recent talk with
Senator Harding and Mr.. Bryan's ex-
pressions after his Marion visit of
hopefulness for a solution of the
world peace problem. Senator Borah
also recently met Senator Harding
Information obtained here from
senators and others who have con-
fcrred with the president-elect is that
Senator Harding has formulated in
his mind only the broad, general out
line Of an arrangement for peace.
Some who visited the president-elect
say that he apparently does not con-
template absolute discarding of the
treaty of Versailles. but is consider
ing incorporation of certain features
in developing his peace policy. Among
the expedients said to be under con-
sideration at Marion is adoption of a
new set of reservations, removing all
question of American obligation and
expressing merely American adher-
ence to principles believed helpful to-
ward preventing war.
