But the Hpceali of Mr. Harding comes as a surprise to those who had expected thnt tho presence of Ullhu Root In Europe, and the record of the Ohio Sonator in voting for tho Treaty of Versailles with roscrvntlons would commit him to an endeavor at least to fashion something out of tho pres ent lntornatlona.1 structure. But Mr. Harding rejects It absolutely and calls for "a -now association" of nations. Irrespective of how many reserva tions, Interprotntlvo or otherwlwe, may bo proiosod by Gov.
