HARDING FORMING PLAN FOR ASSOCIATION OF XNATIONS Marion, 0., Dec. 17.—With his plan for an association of nations assuming more definite form, President-elect Harding took into his confidence today three con- spicuous democrats—William Jennings Bryan, James W, Gerard and James A. Reed—and asked their advice and their aid in fashioning a program behind which the nations can unite. All three came as invited guests of the president-elect, and their consultations with him were surrounded with an air of warm cordiality. Afterward Mr. Dryan, taking the lead in expressing gratification at the day’s developments, declared his faith in Mr. Hardivg as an honest and conscientious public servant whom the whole people would trust. The fosmer secretary of state also an- nounced that he rad found himself in agreement with the president-elect on “fundamentals” and added tat he took a hopeful view of the conferences here to evolve a plan for world peace. ard, a former American ampas- sador to Germany and during the last campaigr actively connected with the | democratic naticnal committee, joined with Mr. Bryan in expressing satisfaction at the scope of the association of nations conferences. Senator Reed reserved judgment of the outline of an association plan laid before Iim by the president- but declared himseif delighted that so irreconcilably opposed to the TN ailles covenant and to foreign entangic- | ments generally shculd should have been invited. to Mr. Harding'’s councll table. None of them would discuss in detail the subjects touched on in their talks wit hthe president-elect, but it became Kknown that something more than a scat- tered collection of suggestions was offer- ed for their scrutiny. It is understood | that although Mr. Harding's plan stiil is far from complete, his talks with leading men has given hi mthe basis of a scheme of world co-operation which hie is hopeful will be practicable and acceptable to the nation. In his talks today Mr. Harding | is understood to have declared a particu- lar desire that in the end the proposal | should have no tinge of partisanship. After his conference with Mr. Bryan, | the president-elect accompanied his guest | to a meetinz ~f (he la¥men of the Marion | #! delivered from a flag- | draped pulpii a short sermon on the need | for a national reconsecration’ to_the_re- Tigious' temiets of the fathers. ‘He de- clared that in ‘the preesnt world” tumult and in the search for a way to end war no element was so much néeded as @ deer: seated religious faith. : “I don't intend o come as the finest exemplar of what we ought to be, Mr. Harding “but I rejoice in the in- heritance of a relizicus belief, and I don't mind saying that I gladly go to God Al- mighty for guidance and strength in the responsibilities that are coming to me.” In the suggestior that the association of nations plan be divested of all parti- san color, the president-elect found him- self in perfect accord with Mr. Bryan, who made an active fight to keep the league issue out of the recent campaig. | “I believe that Mr. Harding is not only an honest and conscientious man.” said Mr. Bryan aftar the conference, “hut I b lieve he is a man whose whele purpose is to do what he believes is best for the American people. It isn’t expected, of course, that everybody agree as to what is best, but T believe that if a man his purpose, the people will trust him and be hopeful.” The former secretary was a luncheon | guest at the Hardirg home and ator Reed was entertained by the president- elct and Mrs. Harding at diriner and re- mained in conference in Mr. Harding's office until late at right. Other callers on the president-elect dur- ing the day included Harry M. Daugher- ty, his pre-conventicn manager; James A Darden of New York, another actire pre- convention supporter, and James Speyer, the New York financier.
