LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WILSON'S JEALOUSY OF RIVAL SCHEME. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, October 18. Senator Harding, replying to President Wilson's query as to whether France had approached him with a scheme alternative to the League of Nations, said: "I am sure my words could not be construed to mean that the French Government sent anyone to me. The thought I was trying to convey was that there had come to me those who spoke the sentiment which they represented to be very manifest among the French people, but nothing could suggest the French Government having violated tho proprieties of international relations. I respectfully urge that the informal expression to me is rather moive than to a private citizen. I hold a place eg a member of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate, which is charged with certain Constitutional authority in foreign relations, and I am necessarily conscious that I am a nominee for tho Presidency."—A. and N.Z. Cable.
