Harding Treaty as Entangling as League Pact Pronounced Opposition Growing Among Republican Senators. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Opposition to the Harding treaty of peace with Germany was understood today to have developed in Republican senatorial ranks on the gronnd that the pact entangles the United States in European affairs almost as much as the League of Nations covenant. How far this opposition will be reflected in votes of Republican Senators is uncertain. Criticism of the pact is not confined to Senators who were irreconcilables on the Versailles treaty, however. Senators have been studying the new treaty for several weeks. In several Instances they have consulted their colleagues about its provisions. A number are convinced the treaty ties the United States into the Versailles treaty as surely as though the Senate had ratified that instrument. It is significant, however, that no Republican Senator, irreconcilable or moderate, is ready at this time to state his opposition publicly. Strong party considerations may keep the number of Republican votes against the treaty to a low figure, party leaders feel. Democratic opposition is expected as a matter of course. Rut RepubllFans generally, it is predicted by their leaders. will trust President Harding and Secretary Hughes not to make the treaty a means of embroiling the United States in European affairs.

More recently there have been strong differences of opinion concerning the results of the recent bombing tests off tbe Virginia Capes. Mitchell's strong advocacy of the airplane as against the battleship in modern warfare aroused the' resentment of Navy officers and his views were not shared, either, by someArmy oflcers. It was charged Mitchell did not conduct the tests “fairly” and that the conclusions which he drew from the bombing tests were “unfair to the Navy” and “misleading to the country generally."

To these criticisms. General Mitchell’s friends replied that it had been demonstrated in actual tests that a modern battleship could be sunk by aerial bombs in fifteen minutes snd that the facts spoke for themselves. The resultant controversy has been heated since the completion of the test* and has kept both Army and Navy circles in Washington in turmoil. MITCHELL MAY B3 NAMED DIRECTOR. Mitchell's friends have charged that General Menoher was lukewarm ir his support, of the Army side of the contro versy and that it was largely due to General Menober's attitude that the recent report of the joint Army-Navy board was construed as favorable to the battleship against the airplane de spite the showing made in tests.
