"I have nothing te say," was his
comment. "Twenty requests nt least

St"ff rpr-srwnilp l"v In- r-Mlp I,1m- '
fre-i;r'-Iif, I3!0. n Pub'le T,tde'r Ce.)
New Yerk, Nev. 0. It is possible te
tlenv with confidence stories put out by
"I'ltter-end" propagandists suggesting
that rclntiens between President-elect
Harding and ex -Sennter Reet render
Mr. Reet's nnpeintment ns secretary et
state unlikely. The purpose of these
yarns is te make Mr. Reet the subject
of controversy and se cause his return
te public life te be disagreeable te him.
One of these stories, published re
cently, was te the effect that Mr. Reet
had written or made remarks dlspar
aglfc; te Mr. Harding. It can tie said
mext positively that this is net true.
Annthcr story just published Is te the
effect thnt Mr. Reet took a position se
favorable te the League of Nations at
te be distasteful te the President-elect.
This also can be denied.
On the contrary, it is recalled that
Mr. Reet participated in the campaign
for Harding's election, making one of
the ab'est statements of the Republ'can
posit'en upon the League of Nations
that was made durlnc the camnalen. and
nlse that he issued u brief and rushing
rejoinder te Governer Cox in regard te
Article X. one of the most effective
documents published during the final
wcuks of the campaign, when the Demo
crats were progressing with the league
issue.
Reet Net Exactly a Candfdate
Mr. Reet is net the kind of man te
contribute te party debate un'ess un
derstanding Ins party's position and
agreeing with It.
Mr. Reet is net in any senc a can
didate for the office of secretary of
state. Up retired from public lif scv-
eral years age. declining re-election te
the Cnited States Senate. He Is nearly
seenty six years old. and though in ex
cellent hea'th. is disinclined te assums
arduous official duties. The object of
the anti-Reet propaganda is te in
fluence both Hard ng and Reet se that
Rent's assumption of the state portfolio
will be unlikely. It springs from "bit-ter-end"
sources.
Aside from prestige, Mr. Reet, as sec
retary of state, weu'd bring te the
Hnrdlng ndmin'tiatien two va'unble
things. He has te a marked degree, te
a higher deg'j.".hra nay ether Repub
lican uvailabi?.' resequence in the eye
of Kurepe. His appe ntmeut a secre
tary of state would dd mere te rester
this eeuntrj te it lending p'nee In world
affairs than that of any etiier man who
could be named. He is one of tht
we-'d's big men.
Mr. Reet would bring te the State
Department un organizing capacity that
is sadlv needed there.
State Depaitment in Disrepute
As a result of Mr. Rrjan's adminis
tration of thut department, and of
President Wilsen's habit of conducting
foreign re'atieiiH through his personal
representative, Colonel Heuse, and thu
having a sort of duplicate Stute De
partment, especial! during our partici
pation in the war, the foreign office of
the United States Is bndly demoralized
and disorganized. Men of ability have
left it disgusted and disappointed.
Mr. Reet showed great organizing ca
pneit during Ills former term as sec
retary of state nnd b-eught the denart
ment up te a high condition of
pffii'ienij. He hnd shown the samp or
ganizing cr.paeit ear ier in his ad
min strntien of the War Dcnnrtinent.
Senater Knox nuij be dismisspd from
serious consideration ns n nessjiijp spc
rftarj of state; net only does be repre
sent minority n'liiiieii in the Rp-iiib-lican
inrt by his extreme stand with
Setritnr .IeIiiimui ugainst the League
of Nations, but bis health has been
such thut lie was unable te i.ike nart
iu t'le cninpfiigu for Mr. Harding'
election.
Kne Has Inss Prestige
The appointment of Mr. Kiie would
lime no sueli effect in iiiimeilimel re
storing Ann ricu te it pl.n in the
ees of Iliiieue as would tint of Mr.
Reet. Mr. Knox is net uukuewn in
Hurepe, bavin. nlreini served as sec
retnrj of state, and ip is resin eted
there. Inn in tin- state department he
made no sueli impression abroad as did
