nuiTlSH COMMENT
London, Juno 14— The newspapers
express neither satisfaction nor dis
appointment over Harding’s nomina
tion. Several refer to him as a com
promise. Two or three newspapers as
sume the result has opened the pos
sibility of the election of a Democrat.
The Times and the News says the best
card the Democrats can play is to per
suade Hoover to accept the nomina
tion. The Post says the League of Na
t'ons will fall if the Republicans win.
The Telegraph describes the platform
as vague and wonders how Harding
will interpret the Root plank. The Tel
egraph says it is easier to criticize
Wilson’s league than suggest a satis
factory alternative. The Express be
lieves that friendly relations with the
British will be part of Harding’s pol
icy.”
