LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
(Reuter’s Telegrams.)
MR HARDING’S VIEWS. (Received this day at 9.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, August 28. Mr Harding, speaking at Marian, Ohio, said the League of Nations is utterly impotent to prevent wars. Tt cannot survive because it is based upon power, not upon right. I oppose the League, which is an offensive and defensive alliance of the great, powers. I | favour an association of free nations j animated by the considerations of right and justice, instead of might and selfinterest. In the Hague Tribunal we I have a frame of something really effectively instrumental' in insuring peace and order. To give the tribunal extra power, I would combine the tribunal and League exercising all that is bad from both organisations. If lam elected President, I will immediately call conference of the ablest men of both parties to formulate a definite plan along the lines indicated. I will ask Congress immediately after my election to pass a resolution declaring peace between United States and Germany, but I will not advocate negotiating for a separate poace.
