GOX AGREEMENT
Republican Nominee Declares
Articles by Colonel House
Supports Stand
MAKH.. it., July 19. Pressing his
flpbt against the splendid accord"
established yesterdav between Presi
dent Wilson and Oovernur Cox. Sena
tor Harding declared today that
triumph of the Democratic tb-ket this
year would mean "a continuation of
the foreign policy which has griev
ously disappointed both Europe and
America."
Apparently foreseeing the league as
a paramount campaign Issue as a re
sult of the White House conference,
the Republican candidate adopted an
nggressivc program of striking at the
Wilson policy wherever it showed Its
head. He took for the list of today's
attack a statement on the league at
tributed to Colonel House and just
published In this country
I NDERSTAXD MISTAKE.
"We are beginning to understand,"!
said Senator lUiding. the mistakenly
plighted relationship of the United
States to Europe, just in time to pro-,
ceed to u referendum intelligently '
This one representative of this couti-l
try. other than the president, who
best knew the whole situation at
Paris, was Colonel House. Ik tells
us now In a cabled statement from
London that the suggestion of a pre-!
hmlnary peace treaty was made very1
sooti after the armistice and that such
a treaty eould have been made before
I h 1 1:. Unas of 1 1 1 v
.. O. P. t ONCEPTION.
Ail along tnis has been the Repub
lican conception of what ought to
have been uone. but this Is the first
otiiuai knowledge thai Europe wished
iuch a procedure and Was deterred
by us in expediting peace. The
authentic revelation is peculiarly In
teresting at the moment when It is
announced that the continuation of a
Hemocratlc administration means a
continuation of the foreign policy
which has so grleveousl disappointed
both Europe and America."
Colonel House's statement, to which
Senator Harding referred, was con
tained in a special cable to the Phlla-I
''elphla public laolg.-r f,,,m i.0.l(1,m
In it the colonel waa guoted as saylns
that a preliminary treaty concerning
' ii.J vy. reparations and delliic ,
Hon of boundaries 'could huve i.,-,
madi bj Christmas of isis and would
have been not only the usual, but the
ol (OUS t hlng to du."
Sl'ltPKISK RESULTS.
The alacrity with which the league :
ibuuo has come to the fore has caused
manifest surprise u Harding's head
quarters here. Many of the senator's
close associates had not expected Gov
ernor Cox to take counsel with the'
president at the outset of his cum-I
palgn nor to take any aggressive!
m isurea to uphold the hands of the!
prt ut administration wiih which he I
ha? not been closely associated
The Harding managers are not un-
mlndful that within their own party
there is Home division of opinion re-1
yarding tlie league but they believe
that on a direct Issue of acceptance
of the Wilson policy without the dot-'
nnt; ot an "1" or the crossing or a "t"
run count on .. united Republican

They also are confident that such
if, Issue will drive ft wedge through
the Horndcratlc solidarity and they do I
not propose to overlook anv opportu
nities to arrv the fight into the one

GERMANS SEE
BIG THINGS IN
I SHIPPING DEAL
Opening of Steamer Routes to
American Vessels Called
Momentous Event
HAMBURG HOPES TO
REGAIN PROSPERITY
Teuton Says Agreement Is
9. Trial at Resumption of
Good Relations
HAM 01 TIC. July 18. As further
particulars come to light regarding
the ;.greement between lhe Hamburg
American Steamship company and
the American Ship and Commerce cor
poralion by which lhe former trade
routes are to be opened to American
shipping, lhe belief Is deepening in
shipping and financial circles here
that it constitutes one of the most
momentous events for Germany since
, the war.
Through it the Ctonnejns see means
'of regaining touch with the outside
world and an opportunity for Hamburg
to re-establish semblance, at least,
of her former position as a great port.
Out apart from the commercial bene
fits expected the Germans attach much
political significance to the agree
ment. This wax emphasized today by
Wllhelni Cuno general manager or the
Hamburg -American line, who in an in
terview with th Associated Press,
declared
NEW RELATIONS.
"I call your especial attention lo the
, fact that the agreement must not only
be considered fnni a business view
point, but must be regarded as a trial
al re-establishing good relations be
tween the lo countries. The way we
have taken will be the only possible one
lo resume relations between Germany
a,nd foreign countries In the near fu
lure. The war left a deep gulf be
tween the bclllgt rent countries and
disorganized their economic order The
normal state of things .can only he re
stored if representatives of economic
interests endeavor to link mutual in
terests in a new and more binding con
nection than was possible In pre-war
times "
It is understood there Is no founda
tion or reports printed In German
newspaper- thai American ships would
be placed at the Hamburg-American
lines' disposal.
HOW ABOUT SHIPS?
Where the German line will secure
ships enough to enable it to operate
5n per cent ot the vessels on the routes
lo be re-Opened under the agreement
Ifl a subject of Iceen speculation lu re
According to best information it will
be able to lease a considerable num
ber in neutral countries and from
Great Dritain. Other ships eventually
wi. be built in German shipyards,
That a huge shipbuilding program is
contemplated not onl) bj the Ham
burg-Amei ican company, bu' by other
German lines is evidenced by prepara
lions now in progress. A meeting of
leading shipbuilders and t-ieel manu
facturers will be held this week to dis
cuss the amount of material available
In Germany for new construction. It
is believed lliat if the conference dis
closes that sufficient material cannot
be had, arrangements will be made to
Import American steel, which, at the
present rate of exchange, can be laid
down cheaper than the German prod
ucL
Meantime on the lower end of Ham-1
burg harbor a new shipbuilding plant,
which, it is said, la destined to be the!
largest In Europe, is hearing comple
tion. The Hamburg American lino is I
one of the principal stockholders in
this concern, which will begin opera
Hons within 18 "lays and facilities for
quickly doubling its capacity.
MAJOR STKOKE.
WASHINGTON, luly 19. Final de
tails of the agreement between thu
Hamburg-American ine and the Am
erican ship and Commerce corpora
tion have not yet been worked out,
Chairman Benson, of the shipping:
board, said today, but as soon as they
are, the agreement will be made
known. It Is contemplated, ho said,,
to allow Qennuny to reconstruct hei
shipping trade on a "fifty-fifty" basis
Developments of the former Hamburg-American
line trade routes by
American shipping is regarded by
Chairman Henson as a major stroke
in placing the American merchant ma
rine on a sure footing in i . -operation I
with the mercantile fleets ,,i the
