PRICE TWO CENTS BIIIUkNU GROUP Harding's Problem Is te Avoid Dividing His Senate Sup port en League Issue PENNA. MAN UNLIKELY TO BE SECRETARY OF STATE By CLINTON W. GILBERT Stnrr rerrrsindfnt Erenlnr rnbtle IAraf rCopvrteht. 1910, bv PubUe Itetr C:) New Verlt. Nev. C The blttcr-enda cand'date for secretary of state is Sen Sen aeor Knox, of Pennsylvania. He Is thfl choice of men like Senators Brandcget, Moses. McCormack and Berah. Ki-Senater Hlihu Reet, who Is b Hcved te have the better chance of beln selected, is the choice of men like ex President Taft. ex-Justice Hughes and ox-Senater Sutherland, who hope te sea - the United States enter the present -icague of Nations, modified especially n respect te Article X. The fate Of the lenene mn tnr mm this country is concerned. In llk1v tn be decided by the question which of thesa two men is nppeinted. If Reet is named it will mean that President-elect Harding has worked out a substantial agreement in his party for the ndoptien of something like tha Reet plan of a league with the court feature emphasized and the council minimized. If Knox receives the state portfolio, it will mean that Harding, In order te held his party together, has agreed te a new association of nations, which will be hardly mere than an international court of arbitration. Propagandists Assail Reet The drive ngaiust Reet's appointment as secretary of state has already begun In newspaper propaganda. Articles nra appearing which declare that Reet does net held views upon the league that ara ngreenble te President-elect Harding, nnd thnt the two statesmen differ upon tht old question of Panama Canal tells. It is argued from this that Mr.. Reet a appointment is improper and Sennter Berah's declaration y that the election was an empbf diet nga nst the league in any (J tlie same purpose iu view of forcing Harding ever toward the bitter-ender position and of m -ing Roet'a appoint' tnent unlikely. The rcul figut en the lengue will probably take place before Harding en ters office nnd before he fills the pest of secrelary of state. When the Senata meets and Harding (submits his pro posal In regard te the league, he. will cither have worked out a plan accept able te virtually ull his party, or ha will have decided te stand with the ma jority of bis patty and. trust te tb Democratic .senators for aid inputting his proposal through the uprVujuse. Uardlng's Position IndellnltcT Harding's own position en the leazue ll.Th bei has been left indefinite te that ha . "light haic room te effect nn agreement . in his liart.i .
