SEN. M'KELLAR ASKS
THE RECALL OF HARVEY
Declares That His Speech
Was Insult to Country.

WASHINGTON, May 31-President
Harding's utterances at Pohick, Va,
Sunday. and his Memorial Day address
yesterday were interpreted In the Senate
to-day by Senator McKellar (Tenn) as
"rebuke" to Ambassador Harvey for
his address at the Pilgrim Society din
ner in London recently.
Drawing what he termed deadly
parallel of the remarks of the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Harvey. Senator McKellar
asked that they be printed In the Con-
gresstonoI Record to show the Com
trast." He also urged that Mr.. Harvey
be recalled from the Court of st. James's.
Senator Mckellar declared that por-
tons of the Harvey speech constituted
a libel on the American Government and
every patriotic citizen. The Ambassa-
doris statement that I'VE were afraid not
to fight" was characterized by the SEN
ator as being ''as false as Satan him
self"
The President in ''reproving'' the Am
bassador has proved that he is a sincere
and honest and patriotic American
Senator McKellar declared.
The Presidents words always are of
greatest importance, the Tennessee SEN
ator said, but he believed they had espe-
cial force and power In pointing out
the falsehood, making clear the desecra-
tion and in repudiating and rebuking the
libel" committed by Mr. Harvey.
II hope the President will go farther"
continued the Senator II hope that he
will take steps to right the wrong that
MIR. Harvey has perpetrated upon the
American people. ] hope he will recall
him from his post. After the publica-
tion of these false statements about his
own country Mr.. Harvey ought not to be
permitted to represent our people at the
British court. 1t is a shame to Amer
lea to be represented abroad by man
who thus expresses his contempt for his
own nation and its soldiers

Great Britain and the United States,
and, incidentally. the navay policy.
That part of the naval policy which
needs settlement is the extent to which
the dominions will in the future con-
tribute to the burden Of the naval de-
fence of the empire. which heretofore
has fallen almost entirely on the mother
country. The Prime Minister some
months ago declared this heavy burden
must be shared by the dominions. The
dominion governments, its Is said. are
not averse to such a solution, but will
expect. In return to have q greater. voice
in the imperial policy.
In this connection the action of the
United States Congress concerning
naval conference between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan has ex-
cited intense interest here. because any
such move promising to ease the burden
of naval armaments would remove a
load of anxiety now weighing heavily
on the imperial statesmen.
With regard to the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, the public declarat tions of Gen.
Jan Christian SHUTS, William Morris
Hughes and William f. Massey, Pre-
mers respectively of the Union of South
Africa, Australia and New Zealand,
leave little doubt as to the line of policy
all favor renewal of the alliance, but
conditionally on the treaty being modi-
fed in such manner as to remove all
possibility of suspicion on the part of
the United States.
Opinion here, as indicated by press
comment. Is very divided. Some of the
papers advocate abandoning the all-
ance on the ground that the circum-
stances which brought 1t into existence
no longer obtain. since Russia and Ger
many are out of the calculation as world
Powers and that its continuance is
menace to good relations between Great
Britain and the United States.
The majority. however (and in this
1t is believed the Government view COIN
cides). favor renewal, always provided
that the treaty take such form as to be
unobjectionable to America. What would
be regarded as perfect solution, were
1t practicable, is tripartite treaty in
Guiding the United States. and such a
solution has been advocated by many
influential papers.
The question of the renewal of this
alliance also involves delicate and diffi-
cult questions concerning immigration
and racial restrictions. as well as Japan's
relations with China. Australia and
New Zealand feel strongly on the ques-
tion of immigration. The vnoie field of
Far Eastern policy is likely to come
under review.
The Government was again questioned
in the House of Commons to-day regard
ing the Anglo Japanese treaty. but
Austen Chamberlain, the Government
leader said that he could add nothing
to the Premier's replies of yesterday.
The latter were considered by some of
the Liberal questioners as somewhat
evasive.

to-day that he expected TO attend the
forthcoming meeting OF the Supreme
Council In Boulogne, but he would not
indicate whether he would take part in
the deliberations of the council or sit

personal relations with President Har-
ding he might depart from strict diplo-
matte usage and voice his personal opin-
