Non-Fartisan Association
Challenges President Hard
ing's St. Louis Declaration.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press .
NEW YORK, June 25.-The League
of Nations Non-partisan Association
has addressed a telegram to Presi-.
dent Harding challenging the Presi-
i. dents statement in his st. Louis
speech that the league of nations Is
as dead as slavery" The message was
signed by George w Wickersham.
president of the organizations coun-
Gil; Everett Colby, chairman of the
executive committee, and William II.
Short. executive director.
There are millions of people in the
United States who differ from you."
the> message read. Some of these
are now. members of the League of
Nations Nom Partisan Association
and more are joining every day.
y In the few weeks that have passed
since our president. former Justice
John II. Clarke. made his notable
New York speech in favor ofkjoining
the league of nations. those who be-
lieve the matter of American MEM
bership to be still an issue have ere
ated organizations in thirty SIN
states and large number OF addi-
tional branches in cities, counties ana
towns"
The support given to American
membership In the league. the mes
sage states, makes the issue very
much alive.
You declared on october 2. 1920"
the telegram continues, that the
league of nations was already scrap
ped and not worth paying any at
eention to, and your administration
began by trying to ignore its exist.
ence. But the logic of events has led
our government. step by step. to
take part in the great humanitarian n
work that the league of nations is
doing, and we are now proposing to
go into the Permanent Court of In
ternational Justice, which the league
alone was able to bring into exist
ence after successive administrations
had vainly tried ever since 1897 to
do so.
I'VE applaud you for your enlight-
ened attitude on these questions and
arc certain that the manifest impos-
sibility Of the United States stand
ing off from the rest Of the world,
10 which YOU have lately SO feelingly
referred. Will finally lead cur country
into full association with the league.
We are certain that you will not al
low your concern for harmony within
your party to lead you into the un-
fortunate position of forgetting your
party and personal pledge"
Quotes Secretary Hoover.
The RI essage includes also a quota
ton from an address by Herbert
Hoover. present Secretary of Com
merce. in Indianapolis October 9, 1920.
To the effect that the republican party
had pledged itself by its platform and
the repeated statements of Senator
Harding that they undertake the
fundamental mis"ion to put into living
being the principle of an organized as
sociation Of nations for the preserva-
tion of peace
The issue of this principle of prop
erIy organized action of nations to
prevent war will not down" the tele-
gram gurther quotes Mr.. Hoover. 1T
belongs to no party and no creed"
Believing that Mr. Hoover's senti-
ments express the opinion of a great
majority of the people of this country
the kilograms concludes I'VE cannot
allow your statements regarding the
league to cd unchallenged."

BENNY CLAIMS HE
 HAS SOLVED STYLE OF LEFT HANDERS

NEW YORK, July 20. - Training at a mountain altitude of 2.30O feet at Tanncrsvllle. N, Y. Benny Leon ard has been working with south paw sparftns partners, and claims to have reduced his weight to 1S7 pounds, while learning the solution of the awkward left hand style Leonard is preparing to fight for his lightweight championship with Left ie Lewie Tender, the Philadelphia newsboy. next Monday night, Tender being q wrong side fighter. or one who stands with his right fist ex- tended.
 q have learned that I can block a right lead with my left elbow and slip in a right hook or upper cut" Leonard said when visitors went to look him over. When I fought Tender last summer, l was still a bit puzzled by the southpaw style, for 1 lad never met a good left-hander before. The southpaw has all the advantage, because he is always meeting right handlers. and right-handers seldom meet a south paw. The cock-eyed fighter is ac- custorncd to our style, but we don't know anything about defeating his style"
 Leonard will return to New York Sunday and will take an easy run Monday morning. That afternoon at D. m he must weigh in at 135 pounds.
