ON BOARD PRESIDENT'S SPE-
CIAL. EN ROUTE TO ST. IAJU1S.
June 21.—President Harding will
reveal on Iris Western trip the gen-
eral outline of a much more com-
prehensive international program
than h« has yet disclosed.
Soma of Mr. Harding’s Ideas on
world relations may prove more
startling and disquieting to the Ir-
reconclliables than his world court
proposal, on which he will speak to-
night in St. Louis In the home of
State of Senator Reed, bitterest De-
mon era tic Irreconcilable.
While It Is Impossible at this time
to disclose even broadly the trend
ot Mr Harding s program It can be
stated that If even a small portion
of It Is adopted the United States
will play it much more active part
In hastening settlement of world
problems than It has up to this TIM*.
The President has Information of
the most significant sort concerning
developments In Europue. He has
been Increasingly Increased recent-
ly w ith the fact that ’ Europ's tfrou-
Llea. It lung cuutUiJUcd, ore Likely
to bring ii reflex In thg UnlteiJ
States which might adversely af-
fect the farmers, Industrial work-
ers, business men uml capitalists of
the country.
This much cnn bo ahld. that Eu-
rope's efforts to settle the |<uhr and
