HARDING IS SURE

Would Not Choose to Escape Respon
sibility to Other Nations, Says
the President.
Washington. May 4. President
Harding's unwillingness to make a
personal issue of the world court pro
posal was reiterated at the White
house today, but it was added that
Mr. Harding was firmly convinced
no president could leave the White
house with a belief that the United
States can or should remain aloof
from the rest of the world.
The president was represented as
holding that phases of international
relations arising daily bring thereali
zation that there is no escape from
intercourse with the rest of the
world. The president, it was added,
would not chose to escape the re
sponsibility America owes to other
nations of the world if he could.i 1 It
was made plain in this connection
that the statement of the president's
views should not be taken as an ar
gument for American entrance into
the leageu of nations.
As for the world could issue, the
president was described as feeling
that it would not be compatible with
presidential dignity to conduct from
the White house a campaign design
ed to stir up sentiment in behalf of
the proposal. Mr. Harding feels, it
a3 enunciated in his recent New
York address, the statement being
made that Mr. Harding regards that
eddress as having made his attitude
ts clear as possible.
