THE OREGON . DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND,. OREGON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER' 8, 192a HARDING VARNS COLLEAGUES IN SENATE SPEECH By David Lawrence tCopyrUbt, 1920) Waahlnton. Dee. 8. President elect Harding' show of Independ ence la his farewell speech in the senai ts the talk of the national aac'fal.. It wasn't so much the im- ; presslve way in' which the depart -J int senator appealed to his col leagues for cooperation but the very clear-cut emphasis which he placed upon the powers of the executive that caught the ear of political Vvashlngton and promptly eet every body goesiping as to the true mean .iris; of the informal utterances.: it is a fact, for instance, that When Harding arrived here Sunday night. In deed when he met some of his colleagues early Monday, they were almost unani mously against the idea of his making a speech at all. . ' - . Some suggested that it would be In delicate for him to advise the senate in hla private position. But Warren Hard ing showed that he has a mind of his own. He determined to make the speech because ha had something definite to say, something that couldn't very well be said if he were already president and had to address tne- senate on original business. --.:,-- ' " v,-xj , Ha wanted the men . in the senate to know that be intended to be as Insistent upon the powers of the executive as he had been on the powers of a senator. He gave a gentle warning that anything Hke a "senatorial oligarchy" would'nt be tolerated. He referred , more or less humorously to Governor Cox's phrase, "a senate oligarchy." but the significant thing Is that he saw fit ' to bring the phrase back into this particular speech at aU. . - Those who know Harding's mind say he wanted to take occasion to appeal to his friends not to presume too much, not to make his task hard simply because he bad grown se intimate with his col leagues ip the senate. Moreover, he wanted to remove any Suggestion that the senate would con trol th next administration, as has been so annoyingly suggested from time to time, not by Democrats alone, but by leading Republicans in the senate with whom the wish is father to the thought. To be sure, Harding has found out one thing already during hla brief visit in Washington, namely, that the most in sistent demands for representation in the cabinet either for themselves or their friends' has come from colleagues In the United States senate. This has led to two very well defined eounter movementsone on the part of some loyal comrades who really think they are of the greatest assistance to Harding by their effort to keep anybody In the Senate from going into the cab inet and another group ; which really wants to have a good deal to say in the next administration and thinks the best way to accomplish It Is by retaining in the senate all the strong men and mak ing the capitol the same center of grav Ity that It was in the- days Of Aldrlch and Cannon, when to know what the administration was going to do news papermen flocked to the senate or the house instead of the White House. HAKES HO PROMISES Then again there is another campaign being waged with aU the subtlety that politicians can command. They have obligations of their own to fulfill. They want to see a particular friend In the cabinet but the position for which the latter may be fitted is being sought by somebody in the senate or else there is a conflict on the subject of geographi cal selection for It Js not customary to take more than one cabinet member from any one state. So the process of "kill ing off the other fellow is now in full swing." :. ' Throughout it all Warren Harding re mains shrewdly noncommittal, listening attentively, even good humoredly to some of the awkward attempts to gain his ear.

Harding is slow tc make up his mind about anything. He Is a deliberate, type and he doesn't hesitate to change his mind once It is made. In that very psy chology there is the best chance for Elihu Root to be leading leader in the next administration., . , ., . AT LEAST CAEErttt, '; Were the choice to be made today Mr. Root wouldn't have a chance, but Hard ing has yet to hear from the whole coun try. He has yet to learn what all Re publicans think about all questions. He has been away from the country for a month, away from editorial opinion and the letters of friends In all sections of America. The publio opinion of the na tion will begin to be borne in on the president-elect from now on. Therein rests the faith of the friends of 'itoot ' Already there are suggestions to Hard ing from men who have not been particu larly friendly to Root that then are things bigger than the secretaryship of state, namely, the commission that goes abroad to negotiate a revision of the peace treaty or the establishment of a new association of league of nations, ana on such a commission Root will be logical chairman. . However, the publio can only be told thus far that the Hard ing's mind is merely receptive on all questions and not definite that the new ly elected chief magistrate is Justifying the confidence of his Intimate friends in proceeding slowly and carefully -Jid ev erybody hopes with sure-footed caution. PRESIDENT MAY RESUBMIT TREATY Washington, Dec 8. (TJ. P.) President Wilson is considering re submitting the treaty to .-congress, sending with it a special message on the subject of America's foreign re lations, was intimated In adminis tration quarters today 1 The information that this might be done earns from officials who yesterday declared that Wilson , was not contem plating such s, step. ; The text of the treaty is still in the president's hands, where it was sent wnen rejected by the senate the last time, according to officials here. He is. therefore, in a position to re-submit it any time' he sees fit.. : .-r-r. The president is said . to believe that recent developments at the Geneva meet ing of the League of Nations assembly make the covenant more acceptable to the senate than it has been heretofore. Two developments mentioned today as likely to Influence mild reservation sen ators were the interpretation that Ar ticle X did not bind league members to guarantee the territorial Integrity of other members, and the action of X)en mark in refusing to lend troops to the league until such action was approved by the Danish parliament It was the belief of league support are that the Article X interpretations met objections of league opponents and that the Daman action snowed clear ly mat America would not have to lend troops to the league ulSess congress approved. .League opponents, however, have pointed out that acting under Article XI. the league had intervened in the Polish Lithuania dispute, and sent troops to Vilna. Senate leaders said3 the treaty would not be acted upon . this session; even though resubmitted. Democratic senate- leaders have . indicated to the president that they do not believe such a course advisable. Wilson Decides on Armenian Question . Washington, Deo. a, (t N. S.) Pres ident Wilson -has reached a decision with regard to the adjustment of the Armen ian boundaries,' the' state department an nounced today.
