charged today in the Senate that the
appointment of George Harvey by
President Harding as Ambassador to
Great Britain was "a reward for his
efforts to discredit the Wilson admin

wise are only comparable to Milton's
hell hounds that were stationed at the
gates of the internal regions

he may possess and the power of his
position in attempts to destroy the
League of Nations"
