br Washington Oo Americas policy toward the Rus sian Polish conflict and the bol shevik menace to Europe took definite form yesterday at a White House conference between President Secretary of State Bain bridge Colby and Under Secretary Norman Davis An important declar ation made jointly by the allies and the United States or by the United States independently is looked for in the near future The essence of the American which is now the subject of cable code exchanges between Wash ington London and may be summarized as follows Would Protect does not believe that the bolshevik menace can re moved by fighting or antagonizing j Russian nation President and the I State Department favor a solemn i declaration by the and the United States f by the Unites States sS to the I ing Finland and shall not be taken from the people of Russia and that such Russian territory as is now held by allied forces shall be regarded as simply held in trust to be delivered to the Russians when they are ready to receive it toward Russia and willingness to assist the sians should coincide with an un mistakable opposition to recognition of the present soviet government and all that bolshevism implies

devoted to the present George policy w hich does not meet the approval of the Th situation is United States The s is regarded as very grave but not hopeless But it ts ad- mitted that if diplomacy

follow the r ght course late which e been com to the State Department picture the situation like this The Polish attack on Russia came at a time when the bolshevik machine which and Trotzky had bu It

Harding were unaccompanied on their trip to Columbus and the sena tor did not know who would be golf opponent when he left Marion He just wanted a days outing }le returned late this evening after a pleasant day Claimed for G.

callers among them Judge Harvey C Smith secretary of the State of Ohio and Frank M Ransbottom of Zanes ville State central The vistors told Senator that they are confident of the result in Ohio Judge Smith estimated the Republican plurality in the Buckeye State from 75 000 to 125 000 It is not to be a walkover in Ohio said Judge Smith We arc confident of course but we are not to let our confidence run away with us We shall have to fight My observa tion of conditions in 1 pre the same conditions in that the the men who go to the polls and vote not thinking go much of the league of nations as

Before Take the faxmer for instance He is not so much interested in the league as he is in the price of wheat and wool The men in the cities are think ing about the cost of food and cloth The farmers of course want as high a price for their wheat as can gel 4.1 the same time here in Ohio the farmers who are raising and Ohio is an important wool grow ng what is to become of their wool for there is no market for It So the farmers are in a nx are therefore far more interested in what they think are practical ques tiona than the league of nations All the Ills that e come to them all the problems they face they blame on the Democratic administration and they want to gel rid of it That in my judgment will be the issue in Ohio Judge Smith opined that the pri election on Tuesday w ill not give a proper index to the general political situation in Ohio so far as it relates to The Republicans wil poll a big vote in the primary be cause there te extraordinary interest n the contes inasmuch as there are cand dates for governor and States senator as well as lively contests in the counties whereas the Democratic candidate for governor State Auditor is unopposed and the content for sen is
