HARDING FINDS PLAN FOR WORLD REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TELLS, OF ORIGINAL INTERNATIONAL PEACE STRUCTURE. Turning away from the Versailles j league of nations as a failure and a J wreck "beyond the possibility of re-. construction." Senator Harding brokeground last Saturday at his Ohio home for a new international peace structure he hopes to erect about the' principle of a world court of justice. As foundation timbers he proposed to use the better features of the pros i-nt Hague tribunal and of the covenant of the "failed league" and he promised that from the day of his election he would give to the task his best effort in counsel with the ables: statesmen of the world. Detailed specifications he said he could no* yet supply in the changing atmosphere of the world conditions and opinions. The Republicar nominee's deliverance was made in a iront porch speech.

To 'Mexico and the other western republics he declared himself ready to extend a helping hand, but he pronounced a solemn admonition to the world that all the lesources -f the i I'nited States would guarantee protection to American life and properA? ?

He affirmed that he would do so now unuer similar circumstances but added that conditions had changed and that the Polish crisis had shown the league so important that its agencies were not even called ; into use.

' He quoted a declaration of Premier < Lloyd George that " it was impossible to send an international army to Po- : land because the European nations could not furnish the troops and the . United States had withdrawn from copc-ration." < That meant, in plain words, said i the nominee, that the United States had not completed the obligation "to | furnish troops." To support his assertion that this | country could not have resisted a call I for help in Poland under Article 10. j Senator Harding quoted the statement of Presfdf r iat the moral , obligation of the article was stronger than any legal obligation. The nominee added that if the president really wanted to help protect Poland he easily might ca'l on Congress to declare war. "It is reasonably safe to assume, however." Senator Harding continued ! "that the president will not pursue that course. Fortunately, he is under no 'compelling moral obligation' under the league to do so. His recent unhappy experience, moreover, in asking congress to send American boys to police Armenia would hardly en-. courage repetition.' Turning to his discussion of reconstruction measures the nominee said he had no expectation whatever that nothing but a separate treaty would be required to put the nation on a peace basis. Passage of a resolution declaring peace, he asserted, was all <hat was necessary to end the present ' preposterous condition."
