Mr.. Harding never has thought Of
organizing competitor for the League
of Nations. He previously set forth
in these dispatches what his idea has
been for an association with the ma
tions of the world instead of an asso-
cation of nations. An association of
nations would have to be organized
under some sort of covenant, which
might in the end be open to the same
objections as the covenant of Yer
sailles. To place the United States in
association with the other nations for
specific purposes from time to time as
occasion arises for that association is
Mr.. Harding's theory of the proper in
ternational role for the United States.
Not Blow at League.
It is no part of the Presidents am.
bition to overthrow the existing League
of Nations. 1t was neither in his
heart nor in his mind to aim a blow
at the league when he sent out the
first "feelers" for the disarmament
conference. It is the presidents view
that the United States has no interest
in the league. If the other nations of
the world find comfort and convenience
in it. the United States would not de-
prive them of one whit of solace or
fancied security.
