League Must Be Trimmed Lot
to Suit Harding.
France Opens Negotiations to
Get q. s. in League.
CABINET SESSION SUBJECT
President Has Discussed Cues
ton With Senate Committee.
No Decision on Any Points
Has Been Reached.

Washington, March 1S.-More than
Article X will have to be eliminated
from the League of Nations covenant
before the Harding administration will
consider making America a party to it,
it was stated authoritatively today.
The statement was made in reply to
word from Paris that Rene ViViani,
former French premier, soon to come
to America, will be prepared to ask
that America become a member of
the league on the basis of elimination
of the article,
France Has FeeIer Out.
-. 4ne same time. the Paris advices
are regarded as a feeler-the real be-
ginning of negotiations to bring the
country into the league, but only the
beginning.
Ambassador Jusserand visited the
White House Wednesday and talked
an hour with President Harding. He
is believed to have learned during that
conference that the elimination of
Article x is the minimum concession
demanded by Harding. He knows that
Secretary of State Hughes long ago
proposed elimination of the article and
that Secretary of Commerce Hoover
at one time an advocate of the Wilson
league idea, consented to it.
The next step was for Jusserand to
advise his country of his findings and
word that Viviani would make the
proposition followed. 1t is believed
probable the British mission soon to
come here will back the French pro-
pOsal.
Article X Only First Step.
The elimination of Article x is re-
garded as merely the first step in the
diplomatic game of horse trading
which will follow if Viviani gets any
encouragement. Other proposals in
which the league members will give
more ground to the American point
of view will follow. it is believed.
Senators also expressed the view
that more than Article x would have
to go to win America and pointed out
that previous efforts had been made
to learn whether Harding would not
accept the league covenant as a foun-
dation for an association of nations.
Senator Borah, Idaho, one of the ir-
reconcilables, said he accepted as
Harding's stand his declaration against
"entangling alliances as made in his
inaugural address.
There have been evidences recent
" of a plan to have Harding accept
the league covenant with some
changes and call it a Harding league
instead of a Wilson league. I do not
expect that such efforts will succeed.
for President Harding has made his
attitude known and is sincerely
