Washington, April 11 President Harding sprang a big surprise In his address to congress, 1 He did not turn his hack altogether on either th Versaillea treaty or th league of nations. He cam out flatly fdr modineatlon of th Versailles psot. H urged Its acceptance with "ex. pllrlt reservations and modifica tion.:!'" H rejected the 'covenant or the existing league" but pointed out the basis upon which America would enter "a league" or ''an asso ciation of natloss." . If th Kurupean governments will separate 'the league from 'the Ver sailles treaty, that Is If they will change the character of th leaguo so that a member of It will not be compelled to enforce the provisions of the treaty itself, America will Join.
