EXPECTED
VERY SOON
President Regards Propos-
al As UntimeIy And
Unacceptable
BY j. BART CAMPBELL

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-Presi-
dent Harding Is expected by Repub-
lican senator's numbered among
his closest advisers TO express pub
licly within "a hours his known op-
position to Senator Borah's proposal
for a world economic and disarma-
ment conference.
The president informed several OF
these senator's when they conferred
with him at the White House that
he would address a letter, probably
to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. as
chairman OF the senate foreign
relations committee. in which he
would define clearly the reasons
FOR his regarding the proposal as
untiuely and unacceptable
While administration Senator'S
continued to fight the proposal,
ing II plunged afresh into the de-
bate which again ragged on the
senate floor today.
Senator McNary, Republican. OF
Oregon. a mild reservationist" in
the historic league Of nations bat
tie, was among those to urge
strongly its adoption.
To the failure OF the senate to
ratify the Versailles treaty, McNary.
a leader OF the Farm Bloc" at
tributed much OF the unrest and
hatred existing over seas.
Il shall never know whether 1t
was the stubbornness 81 Woodrow
Wilson. the perversity OF the sena-
tor from Massachusetts. Mr.. Lodge,
or the eloquence Of the irreconcil-
able senators that prevented ratifi-
cation of the Versailles treaty" Nc
Nary said. and yet l shall always
think, as mild reservationist,
much Of the unrest and hatred ex-
isting among the nations st this
time would not have occurred II
the treaty containing the lea sue eff
nations covenant-with the Lodge
reservations-ha been ratified.
Having that view. I cannot per-
ruade myself to oppose any confer
encc / believe would work for
better understanding among the
nations of the world
OF even greater Importance to
the farmers than better agricul-
tural credits McNary declared are
markets"
Tn a large way the cruel and un-
fortunate plight OF the farmer is
due to the fact that he is smoth-
ering in a surplus Of agricultural
products 4 strong, brisk. foreign
market such as he is entitled to en-
joy. would lift the farmer from
impending ruin to a position where
he could meet his obligations and
leave him a fair profit for his la
borious work and his investment.
To this reward he is abundantly en-
titled"

by many Of the state administration
heads. although Governor AcCray. as
far as can be learned. has kept aloof
from the fight and has expressed no
choice. The activities of Lawrence
Cartwright. Eighth district republi-
can chairman. in behalf OF Mr. Pit
finger lead to the assertion that
the Selma man was favored by the
republican state organization. Since
this report became current It is said
Mr.. Cartwright has curbed his act

Both Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Pitten-

port from the former members in
the house. Mr.. Morgan. however,
has an active opponent in his own
district. the Sixth. in Mr.. Phillips.
Morgan's friends are said to be eager
to see Mr.. Phillips drop out in the
belief that this would give Mr.. Nor
gan the entire Sixth district delega-
ton. Mr.. Phillips, however, has told
his supporters that he is in the race
to stay and will permit the caucus
