RIGHTS TO BE GUARDED Republican Has "o Expectation of Kimllns It Necessary to c Rotiate Separate Peace. MARION, O., Sept. 5. After an ex tended conference today with Senator Hardinfr. George Wickersham. former republican attorney-general and an advoi-te of the league of nations, is sued a statement declaring the repub lican nominee would UjPt "wholly and finally reject tho league, but would take the lead in revising the covenant and putting it in practical operation." "The senator recognizes." Mr. Wick ersham said, "that the league is so interwoven with the fortunes of Ku rope that its unobjectionable features must be preserved to stabilize Euro pean peace." From Senator Harding there was no expression on the subject, but it was indicated that in the near future he might make a public statement detail ing his precise stand with regard to acceptance of any portion of the cove nant as it was written. No Separate Peace Kxpected. "When President Harding, workini; in accord with a republican congress, takes up the work of placing upon a firm, just and sure foundation the re lation of this country to the other na tions of the world I am confident that the logic of accomplished fact will lead to the adoption of the league, so modified as to remove all just doubts as to its undue effect on Americun rights and Interests." said Mr. Wick ersham's statement. "Senator Harding has recognized this fact in the statement that he has no expectation whatever of finding it necessary or advisable to negotiate a separate peace with Germany.' The first effort of his administration ob viously must be to obtain an agree ment witli the parties to the treaty of Versailles for its modification so as to remove the objections of the Ameri can government, and, that accom plished, our acceptance of the amended treaty will be the natural solution of the international problem. Cox ' Is Iftnored. "No one will dispute Senator Hard ing's insistence that the United States may take the lead in revision, amend ment or reconstruction and be able to count on the cordial co-operation of all nations concerned." Senator Harding also refrained from discussing the categorical questions about the league which were ad dressed to him by Governor Cox last night in his Milwaukee speech. He said he proposed to maintain his pol icy of not engaging in a debate with his opponent and would express his views in his own way aa occasion of fered. Italian Editor Pleased. Another caller today was Oscar Du rante, editor of L'ltalia, a Chicago Italian daily newspaper. He talked 'with the senator about the Flume question and said afterward he waa satisfied that Mr. Harding would "ac cord to Italian interests t le fair and friendly treatment that has been de nied under Wilson." Tomorrow Senator Harding will de liver a Labor day address here and on Tuesday he will leave for Minnesota to make his first speech outside Ohio since his nomination.
