Marlon. Ohio, Sept. 17.— Pro­
nouncing the league ot nations irre­
concilable with the American consti­
tution, Senator Harding declared In
his Constitution Day address that
the time had come for the United
State« to decide whether to preserve
or abandon the charter under which
they had achieved nationality. "Con­
stitution or covenant, that is the par­
amount Issued.*' ho «aid. "We can­
not follow our present chief magis-
trate without forsaking the father of
our country.”
Mr. Harding assailed the admlnis-
tration's policy toward smaller na-
tfons of the western hemisphere, as­
serting the executive had usurped
congressional powers to carry on un­
constitutional way with Haiti and
Santo Domingo. He declared that
recent utterances of Nominee Roose­
velt had revealed officially for the
first time the American government's
"rape" of the two small republics.
Cape Town. Sept. 17.—-Property of
Germans to the value of 9,000,000
pounds Is to be retained by the
South African government as a loan
repayable In 30 years. This inten­
tion of the government was announc­
ed today In the South African house
of assembly by the premier. General
Smuts.
He explained that -enemy assets
held by the custodian of enemy pro­
perty In South Africa totalled 13,-
000,000 pounds of which 3,000,000
pounds had already been paid out to
Germans domiciled in South Africa.
Of the remaining 10,000,000 pounds,
one million pounds would be tempor­
arily employed applied In satisfac­
tion of South African claims on Ger­
mans for debts or *or property in
Germany sequestrated by that gov­
ernment.
On the balance of 9,000,000
pounds, the government of South Af­
rica has decided to pay Interest at 4
per cent, raising the total to 10,000,-
000 pounds, which will then be held
by South Africa as a loan from the
German owners for a term of 30
yean, the government paying own­
ers 4 per cent.
Premier Smuts added that the
government did not propose to pay
this money to the reparation com­
mission, whleh would practically
mean confiscation. As there was no
