Adopt Policy of Watchful
W aiting on Versailles
Treaty and Nations League
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
National Political Correspondent
of The IntelligcnCer.

Washington. May l0.-Thc best Judg-
mont is that the irreconcihblc senator's
won't make any trouble for Harding
about what ne has done in Europe. so
far the irrcconcilables say they have no
protest to make: but looking to the fu-
turc their attitude is one of extremely
watchful waiting.
few democratic senators, like Scna-
tor Reed OF Missouri will poke fun at
the republican irrcconcilables. who COM
pose the only group that Harding needs
to concern himself about. aren't going
To do anything for the present. 1'n"y say
they have no cause 10 complain when
man who was their vonfdant and in
Spiration and their spokesman, namely.
George Harvey, is the one chosen by
Harding to sit in the Supreme Council.
But there can readily arise a qucs-
tion of degree. which will start the tug
of-war between the White House and
the lrrcConCiIabe senators all over
again. The irreConc:lablcs conception
of what Harvey and HardinGs other APP
pointccS arc going 10 do Is that they are
merely 10 sit and listen ana report
That. the irreconcilablcs say, is alright.

part of the Treaty Of Versailles. 10 the
senate for ratification. then IN that
event the senate irreCunCilablcS Will get
out their tOma awks and their tomtumS
and start the whole war dance over
again.
The truth is that for tho present
HarlmE'S move does not contemplate
going much farther than To sit in the
councils and listen and report. Add L"
thus that if we are asked our views We
will give them, purely as informal
views, and you probably have what is

administrations intentions. II Germany

will undoubtedly say that GcrmLny'S
course meets with our diSapproNal. H.,
on the other hand. France should show
g, disposit!on not ~ nc satisfied with
getting adequate PREPARATIONS out OF
Germany. and If France should embark
on Il course of rendering Germany
economically impotcnt just for the sake
of making Germany impotent. then I'M
douhtCdly the United States wnull cX-

Except for the moral force or such
expression Of disapproval, the United

template anything further. What may

Whether this nation does that or not
will depend on what changes the allies
are willing 10 make. No authoritative
statement has yet been mad" by the
White House on this point. probably for
the simple reason chat the extent or
the concessions the allies are willing

they are not now in a position to make
any positive statement.

upon the coming conference in the SUI

continues idealistic. but not quite TO

demand certain things without any ap-
pearance Of being grasping or selfish
