RETURN Of HARVEY
MAY Be FORECAST

Ambassador Reported Anx-
iouS to Return to Political
Fray in America

WASHINGTON, April Il. - The
pending visit of Ambassador George
Harvey is believed by many here to
forecast his retirement from diplo-
matte life and his return to active
politics before the 1924 presidential
campaign gets far along.
Harvey has been suggested as the
logical man To conduct the Pres
dents campaign for reelection.
But whether this comes to pass. it
is known that Harding would like
TO have the famous editor on hand to
advise him during the troublous po-
litieal days that lie ahead.
Harvey has done his work at Lon
don. He was instrumental in nego-
tiating the British debt funding
agreement. He feels that this achieve
ment is sufficient to enable him to
retire with Il creditable record. Har-
veyas first love is politics and he is
known To have a desire TO get back
into the fight again. Whether he
would be chairman of the republican
national committee, as has been pro-
posed, is doubtful. His talents run
not as much to organizing as to
directing party strategy. During the
front porch campaign, he spent more
time in Marion than any other ad-
wiser of Harding He assisted in the
preparation of the most important
speeches. Practically every utterance
dealing with foreign affairs was
scrutinized by him
In view of the bitter fight over the
international court proposal. Har-
VeYs presence would be especially
desirable. He knows The lay of the
land on the other side. He also had
the confidence of the lrreconcilable
senator's. having assisted them In
their senate fight against the Yer
sailles treaty and having helped to
write the League plank in the party
platform at Chicago,
