After a long talk with the
president-elect, Mr. Sharp said the
plan as outlined' did not accord
exactly with the Versailles pact,
but embodied the most useful fea
tures. He declared that far from
being dominated by an idea of in
ternational aloofness, Mr. Hard
ing was anxious to have 'the na
tion play Its full part in re-con-strnctlon.
Mr. Sharp, who' is a democrat
and who served as an appointee
of President Wilson, came to dis
cuss the league question at the
instigation of the president-elect.
"Senator Harding outlined his
Ideas of an establishment of In
ternational relationship," said Mr,
Sharp, "that, while it is not on
all fours with the league as I
favored it, yet it embraces some
of the most useful and important
features, a permanent court of
International arbitration, an as
sociation of nations and a usemnl
means of counsel. "I recognize
In view of the result at the polls
that the league of nations, so far
as this country is concerned, is
not to be. On the other hand
am most gratified to learn that
as far as . the . president-elect is
concerned, there is no danger cf
this country stepping into a state
of Isolation such as we might
have feared if a conception of
American aloofness from the cfr
'fairs of Europe were dominating
his mind.
America Cannot Stand Aloof
"He is Keenly alive to the fact
that America cannot be aloof;
that It must carry Its part of the
world's burden; that there exists
a mutuality of interests i between
it and Its allies in the late strug

brought forth the assertion by

a continuation of the controversy

PAROLE BOARD AND
PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
INVOLVED I BILLS
r
Four bills that were introduced in the senate yesterday
by Senator Wilson T. Hume of Portland are expected to pre
cipitate hard fights when they reach the floor. One of these
relates to membership on the state parole board, and the oth
er three propose a readjustment in the relation between the
public school and the private, sectarianism or parochial school
systems. ! ;
regards admission without a pass
port. He said he was communicat
ing his decision to Secretary Wil
son and added the intimation that
his department, acting -under the
war time powers given the presi
dent to regulate entry -of aliens.
might recommend that the depart
ment of justice be called upon to
deport the Irish mayor.
Labor department officials as
serted Secretary Wilson did not
recognize that the case of O'Cal
laghan had yet come within the
jurisdiction of the state depart
ment inasmuch as he had not
formally referred the case to that
department.' Secretary Wilson had i
not begun his consideration of the
case today , and' it was said he
would not take it under advise
ment untU It had .come to him
through regular channels. At the
state department It was said delay
of the secretary of labor in ren
dering a decision after having pa
roled O'Callaghan would permit
the lord mayor to accomplish bis
mission of testifying before the
commission from the committee of
100 investigating the Irish ques
tion regardless of whether he may
be eventually deported.
Labor Opposes Decision.
Labor department officials de
clared that should the secretary of
labor find O'Callaghan inadmissi
ble on immigration grounds, it
would not be necessary for the
secretary to refer the -waiving of
passport restrictions to the state
department. Should he find the
lord mayor Inadmissible, however,
he would then be called upon to
decide whether the exclusion of
O'Callaghan for having entered
without a jassport was a question
to be passed, upon by the state de
partment, h
While the state department
first held that O'Callaghan's case
had been brought before the de
partment by the astion of an im
migration inspector in Norfolk in
requesting advice. Secretary Davis
later stated he had amended this
decision and would not take the
case under advisement until it
had been brought to his attention
formally by the secretary of .labor.
When Secretary Davis learned
Secretary Wilson was not disposed
to consult the state department
and that he had paroled O'Callag
han. he again amended his decis
ion and asked for an opinion from
the solicitor.

"I know that Milholland was

character, but Jay had plenty of

Mr. Callahan said that it was
