A WISE DECISION.

WHAT SORT OF BARTER IS rH1sq

The real purpose of the forthcoming visit of Vviani
this country is to ascertain what foreign policy President
Harding intends to substitute for the league of nations avo

that compliance with the request is likely to be made
ditoned the recognition by the allies of the rights of this
country in the island of zap and that the United States shall
have equal privileges with other nations the development
of the resources in mandatory countries.
Such proposition is preposerous, and the New York
Herald rest assured that it's Washington correspondent
has been misinfomed The United States not reached
the point where it must purchase recognition of its rights by
yielding its stand upon policy previously announced
American claims regarding zap and the other mandate
tries thing and American endorsement of the
alton program quite another There is relation be-
tween the two.
The whole tenor of President Harding's inaugural ad
dress that the United States should become involved
In the affairs of Europe which is precisely what would hap
pen America to take sides with respect the terms
peace between Germany and the allies is equally certain
that Mr. Harding will insist American rights Yap and
everywhere else in the world American embodiment in
Europe price that the President will never paw to avoid
possible difficulty in asserting those rights
