Borah Rejects
Bryan Plea for
League Solution
NebrAskan Confers With
Senator, Who Is Reported
Still Unyie,ding in O2po-
sition to- Proposed Court
Reed Assails Judicial Idea
Harding Said to Favor Re-
tention of Treaty in Part,
With New Reservations

WASHINGTON, Dec. % (By The AS
socated Press).-William j. Bryan
who visited President-elect Harding at
Marion recently, held a lengthy con-
ference to-day with, Senator Borah, OF
Idaho, a leader among Republican OPP
ponents of the League of Nations.
The purpose of Mr.. Bryan's visit
here, it was stated reliably, was to
discuss possibilities of obtaining an
agreement or reaching some common
ground in the movement toward con-
cord for maintenance of world peace.
From what could be learned of his
conference with Senator Borah it was
said that the views of Mr.. Bryan and
the Idaho Senator both were unchanged.
It was indicated that Senator Borah
remained implacable toward any ar
rangement involving any international
alliance.
Significance was given Mr.. Bryan's
call upon Senator Borah because of
the formers very recent talk with
Senator Harding and the former Cab
met members expressions, after his
Marion visit, of hopefulness for a solu-
tion of the world peace problem. Sena-
tor .-Bnrah also discussed the subject
with Senator Harding for an hour dur
ing the latters stop-over here early
this .month.
Information obtained here from Sem
ator5 and others who have conferred
with the President-elect is that Sem
ator, Harding has formulated in his
mind only the broad, general outline
of seffecting an arrangement for peace
and has not yet come to considera-
tion ,of details of any plan. Some who
have, visited the President-elect, how
ever, say that he apparently does not
contemplate absolute discard of the
treaty of Versailles, but is considering
incorporation Of certain features, at
least, in developing his peace policy.
Among the eXpedients said to be under
consideration at M arion is adoption of
& neEs set of reservations removing all
question of American obligation and
expressing merely American adherence
to, principles believed helpful toward
preventing war.
Establishment of a world court and
development of q new code of inter-
national law and procedure are other
features of Senator Harding's thought,
aceording to word brought here from
the Marion conferences. Difficulties of
establishing world court or substi-
trting some such plan for the League
of Nations, however, are being dis
cuksed privately among Senators.
"a judicial league is no more feasible
than I, political league" was the state
ment0 to-day of Senator Reed, of Mis-
oprigoprominent Democratic irrecon-
ciEable, who had a long talk with Sem
atbr Harding last week.

Bill to Senate Soon


of wool
Bill to Senate Soon
The bill will be sent to the Senate
for consideration Immediately after
that body reconvenes from the Christ
mas recess. Strong opposition to it
is said to exist in the upper house, and
advocates of the measure anticipate
an even harder fight than was neces-
sary to obtain adoption in the House.
The opposition in the House, led by
Representative Rainey, who filed the
minority committee report on the bill
amounted practically to a small sized
filibuster Mr.. Rainey contended the
measure will force higher prices for
the consumer and fought every para
graph of the bill. He used every means
to stall off vote, but the supporters of
the tariff, led by Representative Ford
ney, slowly, but steadily, forced over
every point.
Mr.. Rainey charged the bill had been
prepared practically without hearings
ana was destructive to economic prin-
ciples.
