(By the Associated Press.)— Nicholas Murray Butler, president Columbia university, has emrhasized to all inquirers during his present visit here, that he had not come to Europe as ‘‘President Harding's Ccl. House.” 5 He has taken every opportunity at the numerous functions he has attend- ed of assuring them that America’s ‘‘airtight’’ rejection of the league of nations, as first enunciated here by Ambassador Harvey in his speech be- fore the Pilgrims society, is final and absolute. Back Up Harvey. Referring to this subject in an in- formal talk today Dr. Butler said: ‘‘Ambassador Harvey told the Pil- grims and the world of America’s defin- ite decision. But despite his assur- ance that it was absurd to believe that the United States might yet be beguilea into the league, I have found many in England still cherishing the idea that this is not really the case. I bhave therefore concluded that the best thing to do is to- tell such folks simply and bluntly that Harvey spoke the real truth, and I'm doing it.”” STRIKE IN HARTFORD Hod Carriers and Masons Refuse to Work and Big Building Operations Are Halted.
