Bjr The Awrlat4 Prn. Marion. O., Oct 19. Replying to an inquiry from Presidtn Wilson, Senator Harding wrote the White House last night that although France had sent her "spokesmen" to hi minformaUy asking America to lead the way for an association of nations, the incident had not in Tolved the French government in auy violation of international im proprieties. The senator declared that id his reference to the sabjert in a speech at Greencastle. InL, recrntly, he cnljr had sought to convey the thought that there had come to him "those who spoke a sentim-nt which Ihey represented to be verv maaifest among the French people.' He ad ded that his words "could not be con strued to say that the French gov ernment has sent anybody to me.'' Referring to Mr. Wilson's sug gestion of impropriety in a foreign nation approaching "a private citi er." on such a . subject. Senator Harding 'pointed out that Jit ss a member of the foreign relations) com mittee as well as a nominee for the presidency, and suggested that "an informal expression to me is rather imre than that to a private citizen." Text of Letter. The text of Senator Harding' let ter sent in reply to one from Presi dent Wilson, asking whether the senator had been correaly quoted in nis 4reencasue spleen, is as toi- tows: "Dear Mr. President: "I have before me a press copy of your letter to me of this date, though I am not in receipt of the original copy. I am glad to make a prompt reply? , "It 5a very gratifying thar you hesitate to draw inferences without my assurance that I am correctly quoted. The quotation as reported in your letter' is not exact. The notes of the stenographer reporting my remarks quote me as laying: 'France has sent her spokesman to ire in- formally asking America in its new realization of the situation to had the way for an associat'on cf na tions.' Explains Meaning. ! am sure that my wrds iould rot be construed to say that the French government has ent any lody to me. The thought I was try ing to convey was that there had come Id me those who spoke a senti ment which they represented to be very manifest among the F.encb people, but nothing could sasgest the French government having vio lated the proprieties T)f international relations. Official France would never seek to go over vour high office as our chief executive to ap peal to the American people or any portion thereof. i "I can see no impropriety in pri vate citizens of France, or in Amer icans deeply friendly to France, ex pressing to me their understanding of sentiment in that friendly repub lic. "It is not important enough to discuss, perhaps, but I very respect fully urge that an informal expres sion to me is rather more than that to a private citizen. I hold a place as a member of the foreign rela tions committee of the United States senate, which is charged with cer tain 'constitutional authority in deal ing with foreign relations and I am necessarily conscious that I am the nominee of the republican part; for president of our republic "In the combination of these two positions it ought not to be unseem ingly that some very devoted friends of a new and better rela tionship among nations, no matter whence they came, should wish to to advise me relating to aspirations to co-operate with our own repub lic in attaining that high purpose. Let me assure you again of the observance of all the properties and again assert that the French gov ernment has maintained that great respect for your position to which I myself subscribe. "With great respect, I am, very truly, WARREN ' G. HARDING." Consortium Organized For Financing of China Washington, Oct. 19.
