Assailing the “conspiracy of per- fect accord,” between the administra~ tion and the Democratic presidential nominee to perpetuate war powers of the executive, Senator Harding de- clared the government had been s9 “twisted out of shape” that reorgan- ization in many of its departments was necessary before it could again function properly. e “Texts Are Contradiction Discussing the Monroe Doctrine, the Republican nominee asserted that the | English and French texts of the Leagué covenant apaprently were in direct contradiction, the former bear- ing the intimation that the doctrine was not to’ be overridden by any pro- ivision of the covenant, while the | French phraseology clearly would make the doctrine subordinate to the covenant. In any case of dispute, he added, league council undoubtedly would decide the French text was the official one. “It is hard to believe,” he continu- ed, “that this very marked discrep- ancy was perpetrated without inten- tion.” The senator’s declaration were made in two front-porch speeches to delegations of business men from Chi- cago and several Michigan and In- ciana cities. Senator Harding quoted from the | French text of Article 21 of the league covenant, arguing that it is “a com- | plete reversal” of the English text, | both of which are official and bear the signature of the American plen- ipotentiaries. “This difference,” he said, “might very readily involve us in unhappy conflict.” The English text says noth- jing in the covenant shall be denied to iaffect the validity of understandings like the Monrge doctrine. The Frencn text, as Senator Harding translated -it, literally says that understandings like the Monroe doctrine might be i considered as compatible with any of {the provisions of the covenant. “Comparing the two versions of this j Solemn covenant, no one can fail to | Derceive that one text is the complete reversal of the other,” he said. “The intimation in English is, that p. m./ little girl’s face, tearing away herithe league covenant must be made to coincide with the Monroe doctrine but the literal effect of the clause, a3 {originally drawn in the French, is {the subordination of the Monroe doc- jtrine to such a degree as virtually to involve its complete abandonment.
