Harding Will Call American
Association of Nations Into
Action; MOUe Stirs Interest

pute. The controversy between
Chile and Peru over boundaries has
been before the league only to have
it pigeon-holed for fear the United
States might not like it Denials
and counter denials were entered
that the Washington government
had offered no objection and had
indeed suggested that this dispute
go before the league.
Invite 81 Republiesl
But aside from the live questions
which are straining relations be-
tween various countries in this
hemisphere, the question of recog-
milton in Guatemala and a similar
question in Mexico, the idea of a
pan-American understanding arises
out of Mr.. Harding's conception of
a regional association of nations.
Europe's league is one thing. The
creation of a Pacific League of Ma
tions as embodied in the four-pow-
er pact is another. Now the Amer
/ lean association of nations is to be
revived so it may seek to accom-
Elish precise objects. Mr.. Harding
| believes international conferences
should be summoned to settle spe-
cific things in particular regions OF
the globe. In line with that idea,
he has called the principal nations
concerned into separate meetings
Will he ask all the 81 republics OF
Central and South America to get
together in a single conference
That has been the formula of the
uast and has involved difficulties
because it has placed large nations
like Argentina, Brazil, Chile. Pert
on a footing OF equal influence witt
+ Haiti, San Domingo, or Nicaragua
The chances are that there will b.
, a group analogous to the "prlnclpa
!, allied and associated powers" Will
perhaps a rotating personnel so a:
| 10 take care of the interests of th'
. smaller nations, but in any event ;
| smaller, group than has heretofore
been organized for the discussion o
pan-Ameircan affairs.
Mexican Question Up.

HARDWOOD MEN

SUPREME COURT
Suit Against Price
Fixing Pact Won
by u. S.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The gov
ernment today won it's suit to COM
pei members of the American Hard
wood Manufacturers association to
terminate cooperative selling meth
DDS and agreements alleged to have
been adopted for the purpose of
eliminating competition among
themselves and to maintain and in
crease prices.
"Restrained Trade.
The government in carrying its
case to the supreme court charged
that the association, consisting of
603 persons and corporations, en-
gagged in the production and sale
of hardwood lumber combined and
conspired to eliminate competition
among themselves and TO enhance
their selling prices in restraint cf
trade, and that they did this by
comparing and exchanging under
an "open competition plan" the re
ports and bulletins concerning
prices, stocks and production.

Justice Clarke, in delivering the
decision, said it was clear from the
evidence that the plan was com

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.



Washington, Dec. 10 President
Harding has decided to call into ac-
ton the association of American
nations
The occasion for the call happens
to be a question of whether the
government of Guatemala shall be
recognized but this really is a We
hicle for a pan-American under
standing on other matters of gen
eral concern to the nations of the
western hemisphere.
Ever since the armament confer
ence was summoned and newspa-
pers began to look upon the gath
ering of the principal allied and as
sociated powers as a sort OF ex-
ecutive committee which would
manage the affairs of the world,
the countries of the South Ameri-
| can content have felt sighted. They
were not invited to the Washington
conference. Their only contrlbu-
| tion to it was the use of the pan
American union building for the
| conference committee.
Latin America Worried.
President Harding has from the
start had in mind policy of closer
association between the two Amer
icas as a sort of substitute for the
, inclination of the last administra-
tion to busy itself in the European
affairs. The greater interest OF the
United States, he has indicated, lies
southwark and not eastward. Yet
the press of other matters has
caused him to be diverted to other
phases of foreign policy. The con-
cIusion of the fouT-pOwer treaty
relative to islands in the Pacific
stretching 5000 miles west of the
American coast has made some
Americans apprehensive that Mr.
Harding like his predecessor, had
strayed far afield and that he might
neglect the affairs of Central ano
South America.
Seeks nifty OF Action
Mr.. Harding has let it be known
that he has not forgotten. In fact
he has limited that an affirmative
