"With becoming1 dignity we have maintained our rlghlH; wo huvu ,j jielded willingly to thu rights of .others, and we dwell in cherished and unthreatened peace," he' de clared after enumerating; the achieve ments of the laot two and a half years, including the conclusion of peace with Germany, Austria and Hungary, the arms conference and the Hntish debt settlement. Two pending international ques tions were discussed by the chief ex ecutive. 1ith respect to one the recognition of Uussia ihe declared, "inlernatiomil good faith forbids any sort of sanction of the bolshevist policy." The other question con cerned relations with Mexico and in discussing U, Mr. Harding said he earnestly hoped the American com mission now In Mexico City would achieve "definite and favorable re sults." J laving in the past two and a half years, as he said, "strengthened our friendly relationships and done mucn to promote peace in the world," the United States, he maintained, should now do its part to bring the blessings of peace and absence of fear of war to the other nations of the world. "Nations ought no more need re sort to force in the settlement of their disputes or differences than do men In thin enlightened day." he us serted. "Out of this conviction, out of my belief in a penitent world crav ing for thu agencies of peace, out of the inevitable presidential contact with the world war's havoc and de vastation and the measureless sorrow which attended and has followed, 1 would bo insensible to duly and vio late ali tho sentiments of my heart and all tny convictions if I failed to urge American support of tho per manent court of international justice "1 do not know that such a court will be unfailing in thu avoidance of war, but 1 know It In a step in--the right direction, and wltl prove, an ad vance toward international peace for which tho reflect ive conscience of mankind is calling."

Debt Settlement The settlement of the British debt, the president usserted, was another accomplishment of Importance for Great Hrlllan In undertaking tho dis churgu of an obligation of more than 4 1-2 billion dollars "put a fresh; stamp of approval on the sacrednesd of international obligations" and the! settlement itself save "a new assur-1 a nee of stability throughout the world." Mr. Harding also mentioned the debt settlement virtually conclud ed with Caee ho -Slovakia, and tho prospective discussions with Jugo slavia. The successful settlement of: the people Is one of entire and very cor dial friendliness, and we have deeply regretted the necessity for the con tinued suspension of diplomatic rela tions." said the president In his ref erence to Mexico. "We have no hntred toward Mexico, no elfish ends to serve at her expense. Wo have no prompting other than those of a neighborly friendship. We have no desire to interfere in the Internal con-i cerns of -Mexico. We respect in thei Mexican people the same rights of finite and favorable results from their exchange of views with tho Mexican commlH.sioners. We- crave not only friendly relationship, but we wish it to be founded upon an under standing which will guarantee its per manence. Upon such an understand ing we may Jointly promote the most neighborly friendships which shall mutually udvuntago the two repub lics." lteplylng to tho argument that Russia should be recognized by the United Stales as a means of alio-! viatlng distress there, the president I chased nearly said "the establishment of a basis of regular prices, III, after Padcrcwski had, played before tho court.

"The outstanding historical, mon umental achievement is the Washing ton conference on the limitation of armament," declared Mr. Harding before passing to minor accomplish ments. "Only a few days ago the government of l-'rance gave tho ratifi cation which makes unanimous the approval of tho nations concerned, and confirms the dawn of a new era in international co-operation lor world peace. "Tho limitation of armament con ference was significantly triumphant in two accomplishments: It relieved and limited tho burdens and found a way to remove the causes of misun derstanding which lead .to war. 'Die conferenco proved one of the greatest achievements in the history of Inter national relations." The president enumerated the var ious treaties and agreements which grew out of tho conference and then added: "Probably the most Important re sults of this historically important conference are those which are un written and imponderable. I refer to the revelations of sentiment and pur pose to tho manifestations of good will and the evident thirst for better understanding.

Thu mists, which had th-a forebodings of war clouds, have been dispelled." Mr. Harding also pointed to the good offices performed by American representatives at Lausanne, assert ing that allhougli "cynical critics sneered as oiir 'unofficial' representa tives" he was firmly of the belief that "American influence at Lausanne played a becoming part, and an Influ ential part.

A wrong number called causes loss of time to you, to the party called and to the operator. It is not the loss of time to you alone or to the oper ator that concerns us most, but it is the annoyance to the party called. Your mistake cannot be explained to him, and the Telephone Company is held responsible for your error. Consulting the current issue of the telephone direc tory, instead of trusting to memory; giving your num ber clearly, and quickly correcting the operator if she misunderstands your call, will greatly increase the effi ciency of the service.
