HARDING LEAGUE
DOES NOT DIFFER
FROM VISION IDEA
Is Acclaimed by Democrats
and Will Have Support of
Republicans Who Fought
Present League
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau, The Age Herald,
500 Davidson Building

Washington. November 29.-tspe-
cial)-There Is great satisfaction
among democrats that President
Harding has felt OUT the other
great powers respecting a League Of
Nations under another name. 1t is
the Wilson idea. they contend; and
the administration makes no denial
of the contention.
If the Harding proposal is carried
out the republicans, with a few ex-
captions, will accept it. They will
show that the Harding scheme is far
different from the Wilson scheme de-
spite its involvement of "entangling
alliances" 1t will be to them a gen
tlemen's agreement" But a moral
obligation is more vigorously to be
observed than one sustained by con-
tract, according to Senator Harrison
of Mississippi.
Democrats contend that the Hard
ing organization would learn the ne
cessfty of applying force to guaran-
tees in the long run; and that there
then would be two leagues of ma
tions. one of which would be certain
of absorption by the other.

There will no longer be a resort to
the time-worn deception that politics
is adjourned. 1t will be played open

approach. and the republicans must
lnaks a record to eliminate their ad-
mltted failure in the extraordinary
session.
The Harding proposition involving
an international agreement Will be
freely discussed IN the Senate. The
talk while the House prepares the
appropriation bills; and the New
berry scandal and the Watson
charges against the American army
will not consume every hour of
available time. The democrats will
endeavor to impress the people with
belief that the republicans defeated
the League of Nations for political
reasons. and were in turn forced to
accept it, though in another form.
ByrneA Blazes way
There will be much talk regarding
retrenchment of expenditures. The
big appropriation bills must be put
across" There will be argument
about the promised reduction in
taxes. The appropriation committee
of the House and General Dawes, di-
rector OF the budget, will be sharply
checked up and taken to task.
r Representative Byrnes of South
Carolina has already blazed the way.
After explaining that the republicans,
during the final months of the Will
son administration, saved" money
by reducing administration estimates,
he said:
ut Is wonderful how times have
changed. We no longer hear of saw
ing money by cutting down esti-
mates. General Dawes is saving
along new lines. He saves in news
papers rather than in the House. 1t
is an idle day when he cannot save
a few millions in that manner But
he has not only deceived the people;
he has misled our good President.
For when the President submitted
this estimate for $19o.000.000 to cover
deficits, he issued statement ig-
noring his proposed touch of $780,
100000, but calling attention to the

WHAT DID HELM

IN SENATE CLASH?
Remarks Passed During Row
Expunged, But Age-HeraId

Washington, November 2s.-tSpe-
cial.) 1.-The row in the Senate the last
day of the extraordinary session in
which Senator Heflin of Alabama and
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania.
were engaged was not of such serious
import as to give pause to those ac-
customed to congressional procedure
But judging from inquiries that have
reached this bureau from Alabama, it
was not fully understood in that state.
Mr.. Penrose is a sick man, and he
was nursing the new tax bill which
was a very sick bill. For months his
irritability had been remarked. He
was repeatedly more or less. insult
ing. So when Senator Helm, during
his attack against Senator Newberry
of Michigan asked that republican
chatter be confined to the cloak room,
Penrose declared himself. Helm re-
piled in kind
The remarks of both were expunged
from the record. But what was said
Is available.
How Row Started
Senator Helm noted the absence OF
so many Republican senators, and
COHDldineu Dttduoe SOliC VI the lew
present were engaged in CONVERSE
ton, audible throughout the chamber.
Continuing, Senator Heflin remarked:
II ask that the senator's on the other
side. who are engaged in converse
ton, retire to the cloak room"
Senator Penrose rose TO his feet
very slowly, and, looking straight at
the Alabama senator, remarked: Il
am surprised that the senator ex-
poets anyone to listen to his speech"
Senator Helm retorted: Il am not
surprised at the statement by the
senator from Pennsylvania. But for
the millions back of him, he would not
have seat in this body. He is known
as the Big Boss of the state of Penn
sylvania, and no man can occupy with
him a seat in this body, except he
o. ks him. There is not state in
the union that is so manipulated by
the money power and predatory in
terests, as in the state OF Pennsyl-
vania."
Senator Penrose, after order was
restored, remarked: Il was about to
rise to question of personal priyi-
lege but / do not want to interfere
with the senator, knowing the black
darkness that he represents from the
state of Alabama"
Senator Helm shouted back at the
senator from Pennsylvania: Il de-
nounce the senator from Pennsylvania
as the agent of the money interests
of America. 1 do not propose that
the senator from Pennsylvania can
absent himself from this chamber day
after day, and then come in while
am defending this body from the dan
gers that threaten it, and observe. as
he did. that nobody wants to hear my
speech.
Il know there are those that do not
want to hear this case discussed. They
have doubtless already promised those
back of Mr.. Newberry to vote for him
without knowing what the facts in
the case are. Wealth already has
many friends in this chamber, and
trust that the number will be de-
creased. not increased.
Il do not want to see the Senate
become a 'Millionaires' club or rem
devious for predatory interests"
