Attracts Attention

many will attract more attention in
Europe than any of the policies enun-
ciated by President Harding in his
address yesterday, declares the York
shire Post. The newspaper asserts
that the dismissal of the league OF
nations. as established by the treaty
OF Versailles, was anticipated. Mt.
Harding's reference to an association
Of nations is considered by the news
rapers as looking in two directions;
first, warning Germany that the
United States adheres to her, intef-
ton to stand by her former associates
in demanding and exacting just rep
arations. and, second. preparing the
way for the Knox peace resolution in
the senate. -,
Be the outcome what it may" 1t
continues. "it appears evident that, the
United States has found that, even IL
it would. it cannot altogether disas-
scciate itself from its old allies on
the war, and, if so. this discovery Is
OF most hopeful import for the future
of civilization" ~~ -
