X merit, Says President
MESSAGE GIVEN TO WORLD
ITremendous Demonstration
Follows Declaration Made
in Message to Congress.
' WASHINGTON, D. C, April 12,
Final rejection of the Versailles
league of nations by the American
government was proclaimed to the
world today by President Harding
in a solemn pronouncement of the
foreign, policies of his administra
tion.
Speaking before the new congress,
the president declared acceptance of
the league would be nothing short
of a betrayal of the mandate of the
November elections. Instead, he
asked a congressional declaration of
peace and for reaffirmation of those
portions of the Versailles treaty
whjph protect American rights and
' interests in the war settlement.
"In the existing league of nations,
world-governing with its super
powers, this republic will have no
part," he said. "It is only fair to
pay to. the World in general and to
our associates in war in particular;
that the league covenant can have
Bo sanction by us." j
j Wild Ovation Follows.
A tremendous demonstration fol
lowed this declaration, republican
senators and representatives lead
ing, while most of their democratic
colleagues sat silent. After weigh
ing the words of the president, the
senate irreconcilables tonight were
claiming complete victory, predict
ing that even the portions of the
treaty indorsed by Mr. Harding
Sever would receive senate approval.
In his recommendations for do
mestic legislation, the president
gave greatest attention to tariff and
tax revision and to the railway situ
ation, though he indorsed lesser
measures which congressional lead
ers declared might prolong the spe
cial session until the snow flies. He
also declared his faith in a main
tained merchant marine and in the
principle of armament reduction
without asking for legislation,
j Emergency Tariff First.
An emergency tariff was placed
at the head of the requests, and
yithLn an hour after he had finished
the house ways and means commit
tee agreed to reach tomorrow the
emergency measure vetoed by Presi
dent Wilson. For the permanent
tariff bill Mr. Harding made no spe
cific suggestions except that it fol
low the principle of protection.
Similarly he refrained from de
tailed recommendations on taxation,
contenting himself with a discussion
of the situation with a reminder
that his party pledged itself to re
peal the excess profits tax. He also
recalled the promise to organize a
separate government department of
public welfare.
Declaring rates and operating ex
penses of the railroads must be low

gress investigate the transportation
problem. He recommended co-ordination
of all governmental agencies

affecting highway construction and
maintenance, enactment of budget
legislation and a congressional in

Rapid Wago Cuts After Pres
ent Settlement, Scorned.
LO.VDON', April II. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The conference of the
mine owners, mine workers and gov
ernment officials today failed to
reach a settlement In the miners'
strike, miners refusing to accept the
premier's proposals for a national
settlement of wages without a na
tional pool of profits which Mr.
IJoyd George declared Impracticable.
Transport workers and railwaymen,
however, suspended their strike no
tices, which would have expired at
midnight tonight.
The only government proposal
which the miners would consider wan
one In which the government offered
after the wage question had been
settled, to give temporary assistance
to mitigate the rapid reduction of
wages; the others they brushed aside.
Separate Conferences Held.
The premier met the owners and
miners in separate conferences, then
jointly. The miners stucK to ineir
demand for a national pool of profits
and a national settlement of wages.
The oremicr. after a two hours
session with the miners, and again in
the Joint session, said he knew noth
ing that would Justify the govern
ment In changing the convictions ex
pressed. He Insisted a national pool
would lead to government control, to
which parliament would not agree.
Frank Hodges retorted that the
miners only asked for temporary as
sistance and that their pormanent
scheme was free from government
control.
Final Derlnloa Announced.
Herbert Smith then announced th
m'ners' final decision that the pro
posals of the premier were, with the
exception of the one relating to tem
porary assistance, unacceptable, and
f that was all the government and
owners had to orrer mere was no
hope of a settlement.
The premier, in a final appeal, said
that the government and owners were
prepared to examine the question of
wages, but Mr. Smith brought the
proceedings . to a close by saying;
We will send a written reply."
The miners then attended a meet

decision was made known. It was
