Harding Comes Out Cold
Against Pact of Nations

Harding met Democratic queries as to
his view about scrapping the league with
the retort that It IL futile to talk about
scrapplng something already scrapped.
Declaring he does not wish TO risk the
final solution Of the problem by being
too specific now, Harding said that as
soon as possible after his election he will
call the best minds of the country. in
cluding Senator's. into conferer ce to for
mulate his international program.
Taking up the league, Harding advO-
Gated an America wholly sef-reliant and
independent polite. lly.
whether President Wilson is to be
blamed or thanked for the result II re-
mains that the Paris league has been
scrapped by the hand of its chief archi-
tect," Harding said.
SHAVING HAIR
OFF HAIR.
"The issue as made by the Democratic
president, the Democratic platform and
the Democratic nominee does not pre-
sent the question of whether hey shal.
favor some form OF association among
the Btions for preserving international
peace, but whether they favor the PAR
ticular league proposed by . President
Wilson.
THE obligations are clear enough and
specific enough.
81 do not want to clarity these OBJ
ligations | want to turn my back on
them. IT is not Interpretation, but re-
jecti0n that I am seeking.
"My position is that the proposed
league strikes a deadly blow at our
constitutional integrity and surrenders
to a dangerous extent our independence
Of action The issue IS clear.
81 understand the position Of the
Democratic candidate and he understands
mine.
"In simple words it is that he favors
going into the league and l favor stay
ing out.
"His position is beyond cavil and It
is that we shall go into the Paris league
without modification or substantial
qualification. To such a betrayal of my
countrymen l will never consent"
Europe, Harding continued, is ready
to recognize Americas moral leadership.
WILL ADVISE
WITH SENATORS
LAS soon as possible after my cleo
tion," said Harding, II shall advise with
the best minds in the United States and
especially | shall consult In advance with
the Senate with whom, by the terms OF
the Constitution, shall indeed be bound
