MA EtION, O. Sept 11. In a double
barreled attack on the administration.
Senator Harding charged today that
Democratic officials had been guilty,
of "reckless Inefficiency" in their con
duct of the nation's business affairs
anil had sought through duplicity or
misunderstanding" to navo the I'nited
Stales surrender its Monroe doctrine
(n hecoming a member of the league
of nations.
Ills own policy toward the business J
world, he declared, would put an end
to ineffective meddling" by the gov
ernment, wlpo out many wartime re
straints, seek readjustment of tariff
levies and taxation and establish a
new CO-Operation between government
and private enterprise. Having re
stored a condition of "sober business"
again, he added, he would summon
the aid of the ablest administrators
of the country to put tho government'
itself on an efficient basis.
Assailing the ' conspiracy of perfect
accord.' between the administration
and the Democratic presidential nom
inee to perpetuate war powers of the
cxecutlve. Senator Harding declared
tho government had been so twisted
oul of shape" that reorganization In
many of Its departments was necessary
before it could again fdnctlon prop
erly. Discussing the Monroe doctrine, the
Republican nominee asserted ihut the
Bngllsb and French texts ot the league
covenant apparently were in direct
contradiction, the termer bearing the
intimation that the doctrine was not
lo lie overridden lv anv provision of
tho covenant. while tin- French
phraseology clearly would make the
doctrine subordinate t the covenant.
Jn any case of dispute, he added, tho
league council undoubtedly WOUld de
cide the Krciv.h text was the official
one.
"Une wiSAJM to be both charitable
anil considerate," he continued, "but
It Is hard to believe thai tins very
marked discrepancy was perpetrated
without intention."
The senator's declarations on the
Monroe doctrine and on business is
sues were made in two front porch
