BUSHLEAGUER BY
INTERROGATOR

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-The question
Of whether the members of the
League Of Nations would accept a
new association of nations" was
put to Senator Harding today in a
statement issued here by Congress-

League of Nations is already set up
and includes forty-one countries"
says the statement.
Does Senator Harding thing these
forty-one nations will disband and
join his association? %

drawn from the senator's remarks
is that he is bush Lacquer, playing
