HARDING TO BREAK
WITH JOHNSON ON
THELEAGUEI ISSUE
Expected to Side With Root
and Others Who Favor
Modified Covenant.

WASHINGTON, u. c.. Nov. IS
There is every indication that the ex-
pcctation expressed in cablegrams
from Geneva that the United states
will enter the present League Of Ma
tions In some manner will not be dis
appointed. When President-elect
ILarding gets back to Marion and
begins his announced conferences
with the leading minds OF America"
to work out plans that will enable
the United States to play its rightful
part in world affairs. those on the
inside OF what is taking place say 1t
will be found that his mind Is run
ming sympathetically with the views
OF Mr.. Taft. Mr. Root. Charles f,
Hughes, Herbert Hoover, DR.. Schur-
man and other pro-Leaguers.
II IS already being claimed on be-
half OF Mr.. Harding that his Des
Moines speech where he was quoted
as mot seeking Interpretation, but
rejection" was badly Earbled, in that
1t left the impression he was speak
ing OF the League covenant itself,
when in reality he referred TO Article
y, Of the covenant.
It is understood plans are maturing
much more rapidly than anticipated,
owing 10 the economic depression,
which is becoming acute in many parts
OF the United States. due 10 the un-
stable conditions in Europe and tho
diminution OF European purchasing
power. storm signals are showing so
prominently on tho American indus
trial horizon that those who know
what is transpring in inner Repuhn-
can circles say that Mr.. Harding Is
now about ready to brave the wrath OF
| johnson and Borah and their small
band OF "irreconclable" followers.
"LEAoUE IS DEAD" DISPUTED
NOW.
Former Senator Elihu Root and
Herbert Hoover, each OF whom has
recently been in Washington, have left
! in their wake a distinct feeling Of
encouragement for the pro-Leaguers.
Each has negauved the impression
that the League is dead"
Mr.. Taft, according to his friends
in Washington, concurs in the belief
entertained by Elihu Root that the
Harding Administration and the
new Senate win speedily agree upon
plans which will allow for partici-
patton OF the United States In a
league, AMI Mr.. Taft Is certain It viii
be the existing League, with a modi-
