HARDING DENIES FRANCE
SENT HIM 'PEACE NOTE

MARION, O., Oct. 19.-The text of
Senator Harding's letter, sent in reply
to one from the President, asking
whether the Senator had been cor
rectly quoted in his Greencastle
speech. follows:
Dear Mn President: ! have be-
fore me a press copy of your let
ter to me of this date. though L
am not in receipt of the original
copy. 1 am glad 10 make a prompt
reply.
at is very gratifying that you
hesitate to draw inferences with
out my assurance that | am cor
rectly quoted. The quotation as re-
ported in your letter is not exact.
The notes of the stenographer re-
porting my remarks quote me as
saying France has sent her spokes-
men to me informally, asking Amer
lea in it's new realization OF the
situation to lead the way for an as
sociation OF nations
II am sure that my words could
not be construed to say that the
French government has sent any
body to me. The thought i was
trying to convey was that there
han come 10 me those VINO spohe d
sentiment which they represented
to be very manifest among the
French people. but nothing could
suggest the French government
having violated the proprieties of
international relations. Official
France would never seek to go over
your high office as our chief execu-
tive to appeal to the American peo-
pie or any portion thereof.
81 can see no improperly in pri-
vate citizens of France or in Amer
leans deeply friendly to France, eX-
pressing to me their understanding
of sentiment in that friendly re-
public.

discuss, perhaps, but l very respect
fully urge that an informal express
sion to me is rather more than to
