HARDING TURNS
DOWN PLEAFOR
DEBS' RELEASE.
Third Party's Candidate
Tells Of G. o. P. Reply
-Renews Appeal.

Salt Lake. City, Utah, July 2S.-
Plans looking to the release of Eu-
gene ". Debs from prison, are be-
ing held in abeyance, pending word
from Governor Cox, Democratic
nominee for the presidency, as to
whether he will cooperate. in them,
Farley P. Christensen, farmer-labor
nominee for president informed the
governor in telegram today.
The telegram asked for an early
reply to the one sent by Mr.. Chris
tensen last week, wherein he asked
the nominees of the Democratic and
Republican parties to join him in
pressing for Debs' release. In to-
days telegram Mr.. Christensen says
in part:
Turned Down by Harding.
Senator Harding has replied un-
favorably. l can only assume from
what he says that, while he was
in favor of freedom of speech for
the Republican senators who at
tackled, investigated and ridiculed
if they did not actually obstruct
the governments prosecution Of
the war in 1917-1S, he is unwilling
to concede the Socialists the con
stitutional right of free speech anC
political criticism in war time.
Still l have not lost hope Of
bringing the president to see the
tyranny involved in the continued
Imprisonment of Debs, or of CON
vincing him that thinking Amer
! leans of all parties hold the ad-
ministration in contempt for its VIC
lence to the fundamental rights O
free speech, free press and fre,
assemblage in general and for ii
vindictive attitude toward Debs il
particular.

in abeyance pending an expression

employers and employees in the steel
industry.
Describes Terrible Conditions.
The report declared charges OF
bolshevism in the steel strike un-
founded and that half the employees
of the United States Steel corpora
tion were still working IL hours
day. Other findings included the
charge that in the last 10 years the
daily hours of workers have been
heightened instead of shortened ;
the bulk Of unskilled labor earned
less, than enough for the average
family's minimum subsistence and
the bulk of skilled labor earned
less than enough for the average

Will Ask Revision Of
Peace Treaty.
BIT DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Special 10 The Argus !

4 Marion, Ohio, July Ex-senator
Harding would. II elected presi-
dent, favor the revision Of the
treaty OF Versailles so that reservx-
tions to the League Of Nations de-
sired not only by the United States
but by other nations might be
agreed upon. Indeed, he thinks the
covenant ought to be revised.
In explaining his views to the
writer, the Republican candidate
repudiated the inference that he
would eliminate the entire treaty Of
Versailles including the covenant
from consideration. He declared
that of course the original struc-
ture would be used as basis for
remodeling and revision. He was
inclined to believe the nations Of
Europe would be glad to be rid Of
article 10 as would the United
States under q Republican admin
istration, but fundamentally Mr..
Harding means to approach the
other nations Of the world and ne
gotiate an understanding that pre-
serves the independence and SOW
ereignty of the United States and
at the same time asks for no privi-
lege that America, on her part, is
not willing to grant to other ma
tions.
Opportunity for Revision.
This may lead possibly to nego-
tiations between the United States
and the allies and Germany with
the delayed ratification Of the
treaty Of Versailles offering the op-
portunity for revision Of the docu-
ment itself for which so many fac
tiops among the signatory nations
have been clamoring.
f-Of course, Mr.. Harding does not
intend to tie himself up to def
mite program either now or II he IS
elected. The world situation is
changing so rapidly that he be-
lieyes 1t both unnecessary and
superHuous to chart course now
that may be entirely altered by the
time a new president Of the United
States is fnaugurated.
Divided Ranks, Biggest Worry.
For the present Senator Harding
! Is concerned with the division in
the ranks Of Republicanism which
grew out Of the fight in the senate
/ between the "b.tter-enders" like
/! Senators johnson and Borah and
the "mild-reservationists'. and the
Lodge reservationists. Senator
Harding tried in his speech of ac-
ceptance to avoid the details of a
program, rather being content to
state a broad policy Of preserved
nationality on the one hand with
assured keeping Of the American
conscience for ourselves which. he
J believes, inspired all the opposition
in the senate, and on the other
