NUMBER 231 Pres Me mi A ddresses Ore tarns oon NOW READY F0RU Harding "Orator of Day" at Portland, Oregon, Cele bration, July 4. URGES ADHERENCE TO WORLD COURT President Appeals for Re- consecration to American Ideals and Purposes. T"VTr,ND, Ore.. Julv 6. Presi dent Harding was tho "orator of the day'' of Portland's Independence day celebration, and in his address, de livered Wednesday afternoon tat Multnomah athletic field, he made' a plea for rcconsecralion to American ideals nnd purposes, nnd urged that the United States move to avoid war by doing "one thing more," adhering to the permanent court of interna tional justice. ' r.vcrv man wwirinff tho habita- tiients of nn American citizen must be an Amcriran in his heart and c.T Uinf Avniriun lor.lfii-D.l soul," the chief executive declared. "I would like to acclaim the day when there is no room in America, anywhere, for those who defy the law and those who seek our hospi tality for the purpose of destroying our institutions- They should be de ported or held securely behind prison wnlln. "There is one thing more wo can do," he asserted, after concluding hit Americanization anpeal. "We rnt no more of war. To that end I have asked the senate to give its absent to American participation in the permanent court of international justice. I want America to give of its influence to bring about universal peace." British Sailors Participate The celebration, in which the presi dent and Mrs. Harding were the chief participants, was a typical Fourth of July observance. There was speaking and there were fire works and a parade. The last named event made history, not alone for Portland, but for Afmcrica, as in the line of march were sailors and ma rines from If. M. S. cruiser Cur-i lew, which lies in the harbor here. Never before had a British naval force marched in an American Inde pendee day parade. Furthermore six staff officers of the British navy sat in the speakers' stand and heard the reading of the Declaration of Inde pendence and - heard the president's address. "I am glad our 'Hritish' friends have shown us that distinction," the president paused in his address to ior it symbolizes the progress say, of the last 117 years and shows us the whole English speaking world is kin. 1 hope thnt in the future the forces of the British and American navies may ever march toward ever lasting peace.'' In addition to participating in the parade, the British forces, throufh their commander, Captain Holbrook, paid their respects to the president by calling at his hotel. Crowds Cheer President. The parade followed the arrival of the presidential party here early in the day, and was through streets crowded from the curb to building line with cheering and flag waving citizens. Members of the patty re garded it as one of the most enthusi astic receptions Mr- and Mrs. Hard ing have received on their weste-n trip. It was novel, too, for the visitors in that it contained a number of floral floats. These, with the mili tary ami civic portions, passed in re view before the president at the end of the line of march. As tho president's tram crossed , the 'Willamette river to Portland Wednesday morning the Hritihlf cruiser Curlew, anchored near the ' lindire, fired a presiueini.ii ..nun. After the patriotic cx-m.es ami .I.I,-,WJ nt Multnomah nem. wnere the chairman of the local arms com mittee estimated 25,000 persons were 1 assembled, the president and Mrs. llardini; visited the disabled former service men at the United States vct-ct-ans' hospital, and placed a wreath oh n monument erected to the men who served in tho World war. After' a private dinner at a hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Ilardine went to the plant of the Portland OreEonian, where the presi dent pushed a button startiue a new hiirh speed press. They they wit nessed a display- of fireworks. The party left Portland shortly be fore midnight for Taconin and the end of the transcontinental tiio. Ar riving there early Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Harding' will h"l'l 8 Kenc' re ception, visit the veterans' hospital and receive a incss.ice of (rodspeed from Governor Hart before boardme the United States naval transport Henderson for th voyaee to Alaska the objective, of the whole trip.

Presi dent anil Mrs. Hardin Tuesday beenme full flodfjcd members of the Cayuse tribe of Indians at what was noted as a Pow-Wow of members of Umatilla, Walla Walla and Cayuse tribes Mr. and Mrs. Harding at tho end of his address witnessed the ceremonial. The chief of the Cayuse and spokesman for all of the In dians, speaking through the in terpreter, made a long speech declaring the Indians were not being treated rightly and that they were unable to adjust their troubles with the resident Indian agents, Mr- Harding in reply nd vised the Indians to take the matter up directly with the Washington departments.
