major step to bu taken.
"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."

controversies in which we are con
llional relationships, was paid to tho

gestion on the purt of Germany that
thu United States should appoint an
American umpire."
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."

Russia should be recognized by the
United Stales as a means of alio-!

"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. If you would mea

. trast the present opinion as to peace

widely entertained and frequently cx
i pressed before the conference was
! held. 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

The Telephone Directory
Good telephone service depends vitally upon care in
culling telephone numbers. 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.
