Somewhere deep down IN Ogden
Fem there was engendered, how

against Tam. She paid her way
and she had money In the bank.
He had nothing that he could call
his own in the bank and was run

more although the child seemed to
like him well enough he could not
win her confidence.
She had inherited reserve from

speak what was in her mind. She
wasn't happy. Very pleasant ways
of life had been changed for ways
that were not nearly 30 pleasant. 1t

They are completely up IN the air. APP

At one Of those conferences at which
the writer was present the opinion was
Summarized. about as follows:
Harding did not make his campaign
on the ISSUE Of nreconctlability put
rather of three DEFINITE promises. the
first Of thnse was an association OF ma
lions: the second a world court and tho
third. disarmament conference. All
OF these promises, however. have been
fulfilled in the league. Forty-tWo ma
tions have also agreed on a world court
and established disarmament commis-
sion which. while admittedly 1t has not
accomplished enormous practical results
has at least discovered that the problem
is tremendously complex and incapable
Of an offhand solution.
"It Is conceivable that two assoca-
lions OF nations can exist side by she
or two world courts possibly operate IN
one world? Can Harding keep his three
promises without joining the existing
organiza ton?
Another fact these members empha-
size is that when the court Of justice

with the invitation to the United States
to subscribe to the idea even though L
did not join the league. The Wilson

ated, Is primarily designed to receive

United States may offer. The amend
ments proposed by other nations are
comparatively trivial and would not

This committee on amendments has
been described by one member as "A half

that some members OF the league may

Paris March 6.--The council OF the
League Of Nations spent one entire
session OF It's meeting, which ended In
Paris yesterday, to debating what at
titude the league should adopt toward
tho United States in view or the IN
auguration OF President Harding. THIS
fact. which was not divulgcd in the OF

puzzled the leagues leaders are as a
result Of the conflicting reports OF MI.
Harding's policy.
Today's papers feature President
Harding's inaugural address 50 that in
dividually, at any rate, the members OF
the council know where the new eHccu-
tive stands at the outset Of his career
as head of the American nation.
All members OF the council were rep

proposal preached was that the league
refrain from any definite action on IN"

sufficient time had elapsed to enable
