LEAGUE ISSUE WELCOMED BY G.0.P.N0M1NEE Senator Harding Says Victory For Cox Would Mean Con tinuation of Our Pres - - - ent Foreign Policy. Marion, O., July 19. Pressing his fight against the "splendid accord" established yesterday between Pres ident Wilson and Governor Cox, Senator Harding declared in a statement today that triumph of iTie dspiociatjc ticket, this year would nrean'"i continuation of the foreign polrcy Which has so grievously dis- I appointed both Europe and America."-' ' Apparently foreseeing the league as a paramount campaign issue as a result of the White House con ference, the republican candidate adopted an aggressive program of striding at the Wilson policy wher ever it showed its head. He took for the text of today's attack a statement on the league attributed to Colonel House and just published in this country. "We are beginning to understand," said Senator Harding, "the mistak enly plighted relationship of the United States to Europe, just in time to proceed to a referendum intelli gently. This one representative of this country, other than the presi dent, who best knew the whole situ stion at Paris, was Colonel House. Ht -tells us now, in a cabled state ment from London, that the sugges tion of a preliminary peace treaty was made very soon after the armis tice, and that such a treaty could have been made before Christmas of 1918.. A11 along this has been the re publican conception of what ought to have been done, but this is the first official knowledge that Europe wished such a procedure and was de terred by us in expediting peace. The authentic revelation is peculi arly interesting at the moment when i! "js announced that the continua tion of the foreign policy which has so grievously disappointed both Europe and America." Colonel House's statement, to which Senator Harding referred, was contained in a special cable to the Philadelphia Public Ledger from London. In it the colonel was qiioted as saying that a preliminary treaty concerning army, navy, repar ations and delineation of boundaries "cquld have been made by Christ mas of 1918 and would have been not oojy the usual but the obvious thing tcdo." Girman Is Obligatory - At French "West Point" Paris, July 19. The French newspapers generally applaud the order of the minister of war, mak ing it obligatory for students of the French Military school at St. Cyr, beginning in 1923, to learn be-th German and English. , .The. Association of Professors of Living Languages by unanimous resolution approved the step. ' fl'he Intransigeant points out that if the study of German was not mftde compulsory many young French students might refuse to tajte the German course and that inf case of another war the French araiy might find itself illy equipped v$th officers knowing the enemy's language.

Will Prove Theories. These factories are to be estab lished, according to Benjamin Schlesinger, international presi dent, to demonstrate that the work ers can be paid first-class wages, work less hours and enjoy better working conditions than they are now getting and reap a "reasonable profit" from their product and still sell it considerable under the regu lar market price. The union proposes to sell its output to consumers through their own stores. ' The first group of six tactories will be established in New York, together with a number of union stores, union officials said. Others will be located in Chicago and Philadelphia.

' Ample funds for the factories have been provided by the inter national union, Mr. Scl-.lesinger said, and later as more money is needed "union shop and factory as sessments" will be levied to finance the project until it is put on a pay ing basis. "We expect to be turning out medium and high-price garments tcr the spriug trade," A. Baroff, sec retary of the union, said. "The first factories probably will employ about 1,000 workers, to be selected by the union." They will pav high er wages than are paid by employ ers in the garment industry and a seven-hour day will be in effect, he added.
