Marion, O., Nov. 5 (by Raymond Clapper).—The League of Nations has been pronounced dead by Presi- dent-Elect Warren G. Harding. In one smashing sentence the next presi- dent of the United States signed the death knell of the covenant. It came as the climax of his first speech since his clection, to a delegation of his Marion neighbors from the™ front porch last night when they came by thousands to congratulate him on his election. “The American pcople by the un- paralleléd majorities they gave the republican candidates ordered the League of Nations scrapped, accord- ing to the ingerpretation Senator Harding places on the ‘solemn refer- endum.’” He made it clear today that his mandate will be carried out to the letter. The Marionites in their parade carried a statue labelled the *‘League of Nations.” “You did not want the surrendef of the United~States. You wanted America to be free and unmortgaged. That is why you did not carry for the leaghe.” . To Rebuild Relations. Senator Harding now took his first opportunity after his election to clear the air on_the league matter, but simultancously he will undertake the rebuilding of cordial relations be- tween the United States and the rest of the world. This plan contemplates America taking active part in improv- ing international conditions. £ It means resumption of relations with Germany as soon as possible and . with Russin and Mexico ultimately and negotiations looking toward an association of nations. Two Moves Expected. Two moves are expected to be made by Senator Harding in the near future; meeting with Mexican lead- ers, “including probably President- Elect Obregon on the border while vacationing in Texas, and a confer- ence with senate leaders over the drafting of a resolution declaring war with Germany at an end and pro- viding resumption of trade relations.
