WASHINGTON, June 14.-Senator
Warren G. Harding desires to go be-
fore the country as the republican
presidential nominees on strictly lit
eral Interpretation Of the treaty plank
in the Chicago platform, senatorial
colleagues believed today.
This view was supported by Har.

which made efforts to get presidential
candidates views on foreign affairs.
[ The republican treaty plank con
demns the treaty as brought back by
Wilson, praises the senators who vot-
ed for the Lodge reservations, de-
clares agreements with foreign nations
must conform with American ideals
and with the policies of Washington
and Monroe, and favors the principle
of an international court to settle dis
putes There is no specific declara
ton on treaty ratification.
Harding's speeches alone show how
closely he conforms to this plank.
In a speech in the senate during
treaty debate, Harding said:

tional justice to determine all inter,
national problems which several ma
tions agree TO submit to it, is strong

MONTREAL, June 14.-Organized

Harding is also classed as Q
strong reservationist.

At another time Harding said:
Either the covenant involves sur
render of national sovereignty and
submits our future destiny to tho
league, or it is an empty thing, big
in name and will ultimately disappoint
all of humanity that hinges hope on
it."
The one unsettled point of the trea-
ty policy Harding would adopt if elect
ed is said to be whether to abandon
efforts to ratify the treaty and work
for formation of world court, or to
try to amend the treaty SO as to ac-
complish the same end.
