Marion, Ohio, Doc. 17.-With his Plain for "ain association of nations as suming m16re10 definite form, Presidont elect Harding took into his conildence today three conspipcuous figures, Wil liam Jennings Bryani, James \V. Cer ard, and Janies A. Reed, and z;;lkcd their advice and their aid In fashion ing a program behind which the na tions call unite. All three came as invited guests of the president-elect, and their consul tations with himii were surrounded with an air of warin cordiality. After ward Mr. Bryan, taking the lead in ex pressing -gratification at the (lay's de velopnents, declared his faith in Mr. Harding as an honest and conscien tious public servant whom the whole people would trust. The former secretary of state gilso announced that he had found himself in agreement with the president-elect on "fundamentals" and added that he /took a hopeful view of the conferences here to evolve a plan for -world peace. Reed Delighied. Mr. Gerard, a former American an bassa'dor td Germany, and during the last caminaign actively connected with the democratic national committee, joined with Mr. Bryan in expressing satisfaction at the scope of the asso ciation of nations conferences. Sena tor Reed reserved judgment of the outline of an association laid before him -by the president-elect, but declar ed hilnself delighted that one so irre conlcilably opposed to the Versailles covenant and to foreign entanglements generally should have been invited to Mr. Harding's cocncil table. None of them would discuss in detail the subjects touched on in their talks <with the president-elect, but it became known that something more than a scattered collection of suggestion was offered for their scrutiny. It is understood although Mr. Hard ing's plans still is far from complete, his talks with leading men has given him the basis of a scheme of world co operation which he Is -hopeful will be practicable and acceptab!e to the na tion. In all of his conferences from now on, It is expected that opinions will be sought with a view to perfecting that plan and ascerLaining how far it may be expected to have popular support. In his talks today Mr. rHarding is un derstood to have declared a particular desire that in the end the proposal should have no tinge of partisanship.
