PHILADELPHIA. 'l eb. 12 The at titude Abraham Lincoln' would have assumed toward problems aow coh f rorrtingr America was discussed by Secretary Lane in an address tonight before the Philadelphia Lincoln club. "When the people today talk of revolution in the United States." de clared- Mr. Lane, "they meet an an ewer in the words of Lincoln, wh said: ', 'In a democracy where the ma Jority rules by the ballot through forms of law, physical rebellions are radically wrong, unconstitutional an are treason.' Right of Majority Discnased. "Lincoln believed that the suprem achievement of civilization, the climb that ve have been making through 10.000 years, was the fact that th wilfulness of the few had becom subjected to the lawfulness of the many. - "Surveying America with its con tinuous picture of a discontented labor, I am sure that he would hold that there can be no lasting economic life where the employed and em ployer regard each other as enemies, where the ' philosophy of unending warfare Is accepted as the shifting foundation of our industrial lite; plan of existence in which the women and children of the workers, the mass of society, the public, . are the su preme sufferers. ' Economic Peace Advocated. "He' would regard It as the com manding duty of our time to find the way, the gradual expanding way In which the methods of war these methods of economic war would be abandoned, and in their stead, the way of a growing law be substituted, but the miracle of satisfying all he would not attempt to worls, for he put out the situation clearly when he said. v hat s the matter with my two boys? Just what's the matter with the whole world: I have got three walnuts, and each wants two. very restraints and made the suprem- acy or. law the highest, guaranty of freedom. "Lincoln the nationalist could never have been an internationalist. Through four years of an imperilled republic he maintained the foreign relations inspired by the fathers. "I do not believe Lincoln would have this expanded and enriched re public of more than 100,000,000 hold aloof from the world or avoid single duty in furthering world civi lization. His heart would have re joiced at our part in halting the mili tary autocracy of Germany In its ruthless pursuit of world domination. ."I am very certain he never would surrender the nationality, for which he sacrificed and fought, to any super- government of the world, no matter what its title or its purpose might be. He would cling to the American con science as the guiding light of a con fident republic." LIXCOLX'S TEACHINGS LAXTUliD Embodiment in Xew Constitution of Illinois Is Urged.

HARDING FOR FREE A3IERICA unto senator Addresses Lincoln Club at Portland, Me. rUKTLAXD, Me, Feb. 12. Provi dent Lincoln was a believer in oppor tunity as the highest offering of free America, Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, a candidate for the republi can nomination for president, said in an address tonight at a banquet of the Lincoln club. "It was Lincoln's belief," said Sena tor Harding, "that every American should have a fair start and an unfet tered chance in the race for life. That was the doctrine of Jefferson in his proclaimed equal rights, that was the ( . policy of Hamilton, who demanded a government strong enough to guaran- tee them. That was the 'square deal' of Theodore Roosevelt. That was - ' the golden rule of the man of Naza- "It is America's supreme offering today equal opportunity to all men and reward as they merit it.

"We got away with the Job this time," ho said, "but we may be up against it next time with a navy that is not busy fighting the navies of other countries at the same time." The admiral declared that any crit icism he had ever made had been made for the benefit of the navy, but that Americans do not like' to be criticised. -- , "America cannot and -does 'not ask for criticism," he declared. "You know that. They argue: 'We're all right' and If we're not, don't want to hear it.' This is a dangerous atti tude and has cost Us thousands of lives. Assumption has been made that I have criticised the record of the navy. I have gone beyond the limit in praising the men for their work. . I have told the truth some of this was -not liked.".' j The admiral raid he wrote from England with an" idea of "toning down" some of the news. "I wanted to modify," he said, "some of the headlines that were appearing in our papers and were being reprintefl on the other side. These headlines, or ar ticles, assumed that the United States was the potent factor at that time. We then had only S per cent of the fighting forces. It was the same re sponse: We re all right and if we're not we don t want to hear it. The, admiral said he had been ' in formed that some naval officials had criticised the idea of having civilian authorities in charge of naval mat ters. "I want to state emphatically,' he commented, "that there is nothing to It." Referring to the charges brought against him of being pro-British, he said that any man who lived in foreign country for the purpose of studying conditions was bound to. be called pro-this or pro-that." "Look at Hoover," he added. "He is being called pro-British." - chestra of Portland and local singers. The Albany high school band gave street concerts afternoon and. evening.

REFUSES TO TREAT WITH JAPAN Shantung Settlement to Be Put Up to League. ri STAND IS DETERMINED Pekin Government Supported by Commercial and Educational Organizations of Empire. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. (Special.) China is determined to submit the Shantung question to the league of nations for settlement, and will not consent to enter into direct negotia tions with Japan regarding the per manent status of former German holdings in that province. Advices to this effect have been received here by authorities in close touch with developments in the far east, more especially Shantung. The Japanese government has an nounced its willingness to proceed with negotiations looking to the re turn of Shantung to China, as pro vided in the Versailles treaty. For the last two months Japan has from time to time approached the Pekin government with a view to opening negotiations. China so far has shown no dispo sition to begin the discussion, and the government is said to be strongly supported by Chinese popular opin ion. Chambers of commerce and oth er commercial and educational organ izations throughout the country are urging the Pekin government to stand firm in its opposition to the Japanese proposals. That China ultimately may have a foreign trade .of $65,000,000,000 an nually is the view expressed by Julian Arnold, American commercial attache at Pekin, in a commercial handbook on China issued today by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Last year China s foreign trade was 11,200,000,000. The United States has made sub stantial gains in selling merchandise to China, having shipped 1117,000,000 worth during the fiscal year 1919, as compared with $57,000,000 worth in 1914. the last pre-war fiscal year. A big slump has occurred, however, in the value of American cotton goods shipped to China, which dropped from $30,000,000 in 1906 to $1,200,000 in 1918.

Tells East Side Club. Incidents from the life of the mar tyred president were recounted last night by Milton A. Miller, collector of internal revenue, at the Lincoln-day banquet of the Kast Side Business Men's club, attended by about 150 members. The speaker . commented upon the saying that "Lincoln belongs to the ages and declared, we ought to measure our lives by what we give to our country." He also reminded his audience of the abuses to which Lincoln was sub ject and spoke of his cool wisdom. "The next man who is prosldent of this country, he said, "should be such a man of vision. Some say we need a business man. Do we want to commercialize everything?" Major Thornton A. Mills, now sup plying the pulpit of the Central Pres byterian church, repeated his lecture, "Fiddles and Fortunes." "Merely making a living is a small. mean thing," the speaker emphasized. "Did you ever know of anybody who had enough money to be satisfied?" He reminded the gathering that no great man has ever worked merely an eight-hour day and that there are two kinds of workers, clock-watchers and those who get to their places ahead of time. .
