 FOUND LEAGUE
(By United Presss

Washington, Nov. 9.-Europe de- mands and must have the immediate cooperation of America in the league of nations or any similar world body, and is not disposed to stick at terms of American participation
 This much has been developed by the preliminary work on the associa- tion of nations proposed by President Elect Harding, it was learned today. Conversations between Republican leaders and influential personages in European capitals are we'll under way, it was stated, and the attitude of Europe toward the association sound ed out and found unofficially receptive to Senator Harding's plan.
 Senator Harding, however, has not yet entered into the unofficial exchange of views, which has been carried on with utter frankness. Republican leaders who undoubtedly will be close ddVlserS ol the new president say that the unofficial exchange of views has made for quicker and more thor ough understanding than a discussion through official channels could possibly have done.
 The same idea, that Europe must have the cooperation and assistance of America immediately, runs through all the views expressed by influential Europeans who have had conversation with the Republican leaders.

 Now, good people, there is no use to make this anything else but a very pleasant and satisfactory job for any one. The board is not begging you for money, nor are you giving it away. Not dollar is going away that will not bring something back to you of equal value. Our public school is ono of the best in the country, it needs four-square cooperation, and the little investment that you are making now will come back to almost every ono of you 100 cents on the dollar. 1t is better to do it this way than to sell bonds at ridiculously low prices with high rate of interest, and it will make every one of you money besides.
