THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 19, 1920 HARDING PLEADS FOR UNITED CITIZENSHIP Foreign-Born Citizens Warned Against Hyphenation. 'AMERICA FIRST". URGED .Republican Nominee Indorses Fra ternity of Nations, but le cries Medilling Abroad. MARION, 6-. Sept. 18. Americanism, Its meaning to the foreign-born citi zen and the dangers of a hyphenated citizenship, were the keynote of an address delivered from his front porth today to delegations of foreign-born citizens by Senator Harding. The delegations comprising several hun dred, came from New York, Chicago and cities of the northwest andr Cleve land. While declaring that "it is not pos sible, and ought not to be expected, that Americans of foreign birth shall ttne love lor kinsfolk in the lands from which they came." the senator asserted that "we are unalterably against any present or future hy phenated Americanism. Meddling Abroad Criticised. Senator Harding was interrupted many times by applause. Touching upon foreign relations, he declared that "nothing helpful has come from the willful assumption to direct the affairs of Europe," but that "on the contrary, the mistaken policy of inter ference has broken the draw strings of good sense and spilled bad coun sel and bad manners alt over . the world." "Meddling abroad," he asserted, "tends to make Americans forget that they are Americans and to arouse the old and bitter feelings of race of former nationality or foreign ances try in the hearts of those who ought never to have been forced to turn their hearts away from' undivided loyalty and Interest given "to America first." . - " Warning against hyphenism. Sen ator Harding asserted that "the time might come when a group or groups of men and women of foreign birth or foreign parentage, not organized for the Interest of America, but organ- lzed around a -resentment against our government, might press. by propa ganda and political hyphenism, upon our government to serve their own Interests rather than the interests of all America. It is not beyond possi bility, he continued, "that . the. day plight come and God forbid M when , an organized, hyphenated vote, in American .politics . might have,. the balance of voting power to elect our government. If this were true. Amer ica might be delivered out of the hands of her citizenship and her con trol might be transferred to a for- 1 elgn capital." Delegations Are Representative. Introducing the various delegates to Senator Harding. Senator Medill McCormlck of Illinois said: "We are come to bear witness to our faith that the success of the re publican party and your own election in November holds forth the certain promise of the re-establishment of free and representative government at home, no less than the reassertlon abroad of those fundamental princi ples under which the American peo ple have become great, and in the pursuit of which the government has enjoyed in ever-increasing measure the respect and regard of the people , of the world." He told the candi date that well nigh all the peoples of the old world were represented in the delegations before him. Senator Harding attended a reunion of Marion county Knights of Pythias, . of which he is a member, at a park here this afternoon and made a brief speech on "Fraternallsm." Senator Harding said he not only believed in fraternity of citizenship, but a fraternity of nations, but that In playing America's role, caution should be exercised. He alluded to efforts to have America accept a man date over Armenia and said "while I want America to do its share. I do not want somebody else across the sea to tell us what to do or how to do it." He declared France and England had withdrawn their troops from Ar menia in an effort to force America to accept a mandate, but asserted that America would do everything for Ar menia except Involve America 5000 miles away "and plant the sons of this republic there In the gateway between the orient and Occident to Involve us In every conflict of the old world." . Housing. Shortage Considered. Senator William M. Calder, New York, conferred with Senator Hard ing on a number of matters, par ticularly the work in which he is en gaged as chairman of the senate sub committee to inquire into housing shortage. After leaving Senator Harding Sen ator Calder said he would see that the western housing shortage is thor oughy Inquired Into before December 2, when congress convenes. He as serted that in his opinion, the most good in relieving the housing situ ation would be accomplished by a re vision of the excess profits law and modification of the surtaxes, "so as to bring back to the building industry mopey that is now being put into tax exempt securities." He pointed out that there are about fourteen billion dollars' worth of tax-exempt securi ties and that men and women with large incomes are investing whenever possible in these securities. Victory In Sew York Claimed. . Calling attention to the. provision of the new shipping law which ex empts from the profit tax the earnings of American vessels, providing these profits are Invested In building new ships. Senator Calder insisted .that If this plan were applied to construction of houses much would be accom plished in relieving the acute housing situation. It would go far to. en courage new building and do more than anything else to solve the whole problem," he said. He would have the profits from the sale of buildings during the next 10 years exempt from the. profit tax, pro vided profits . were invested In new buildings. He said this plan has re suited in 20 new American ships be ing constructed. Senator Calder claimed New York for Harding and Coolidge by a mini mum of 250.000 votes.

X, Sept. 18. Charles E. Hughes. In opening the republican campaign In New Jersey at a state rally here today declare'd that Maine, with an unmistakable emphasis, points to the verdict of the country; that the people demand a change, and with fresh courage "we shall resume the path of well-ordered government. of prosperity and progress." "A general election," said Mr. Hughes, "is the. great assize, the only time when . an administration . la brought to an accounting. We are not censorious people, but levity In passing Judgment upon officers of government and political parties Ill becomes a democracy. The best surety of the future is not in the promise of platforms, but in the certainty of re buke for maladministration and In the checking of harmful tendencies by the displacement of those responsible for them and the refusal to Invest with power those who would continue 'or condone them. "We endeavor to appreciate accu rately the mischief, not 'simply to be critical, but to point the remedy and the future course. Administration Is Scored. "It is idle to trUBt those who have! been In power during the war period. with Its lavish outlays, its indifference to expense, its reckoning in billions as we formerly reckoned In millions. with this duty of economy -and re trenchment." Mr. Hughes said. "Their experience unfits them for it. Discussing foreign' relations, Mr. Hughes recalled the presidential de mand for a partisan congressional Victory in 1918, which he characterized as the "extraordinary return lor tne zeal and sacrifices of republicans In support of the administration-in the conduct of the war." Continuing, he said: . "There was no need for such ex tremes -of-excKisiveness and denial of participation in possession of policy. Republican leaders had long' looked to an association of nations to aid in securing the peace of the world. It would have been well to recognize the fact that the president had not the exclusive treaty-making; power. It was wrong to give to foreign peoples the Impression of an authority which did not exist. It was . a highly dan gerous role for an American president virtually to appeal to foreign peoples against their governments. Mr. Hughes said there was no seri ous controversy about the desirability of an association or league of free nations to- aid In promoting the peace of the world., but the question Is one of method and Its essential import. -Of article X he said: "This article has been described as "the heart i.of the covenant." If it Is, the covenant has a bad heart. Article X Is really the vice of the covenant. Why there should have been such ten acious insistence upon it must remain a mystery, unless it can be said to be due to pride of authorship." . Iu a host of contingencies now iin f orgee-ahl. - declared the ex-justice, it will be. necessary to depend upon the Inleliigencegood sense, firmness and sincerity of the president to be elected ..

S. & H. Green Trading Stamps LEAGUE TO SETTLE SPAT OVER ISLANDS inland and Sweden Agree to Accept Intervention. EARLY DECISION LIKELY Dispute Which Almost Led to War in 118 to Be Investigated by Special Commission. PARIS. Sept. 18. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Finland and Sweden have agreed to accept the interven tion of the league of nations for the settlement of the dispute between them over the possession of the Aland siands. lying at the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia between the two countries. A commission will be ap pointed by the executive council of the league to Investigate the Ques tion and reach an earlv decision. The decision of Finland and Swe den to accept the Intervention of the league was taken' at today's meeting or the council, which was sttenriori by Hjalmar Branting. the Swedish premier, and M. Enckell. the Finnish foreign minister. The council adopt ed the report of the committee of In ternational Jurists which had been ap pointed to determine If the league had Jurisdiction In the case. Authority Rests With League. The committee determined that un er artlr-lea ill and XI of the league covenant it had the right to act. The action of the two nations places In the hands of the league an International dispute which at one time was thought might lead to war and the members of the council do not disguise their satisfaction over the decision, which is pointed to as one of the strongest expressions of support and confidence the league has yet received. A commission of three has been se lected to furnish the league In the shortest possible time a report w.iich will enable it to frame either a final or a provisional settlement. Acceptable Solution Expected. Premier Branting and Foreign Min ister Enckell both expressed their ap proval of the course of the council and said they felt confident that a solution acceptable to both Finland and Sweden would soon be reached by that body. Sweden's claims to ow-nershlp of the Aland Islands date back more than a century. They belonged to her up to 1809, when they were taken by Russia and attached to the prov ince of Finland. Separated from Russia as a consequence of war and the Russian revolution. Finland now claims she is entitled to the continued ownership of the group. Sweden is setting up previous ownership, to gether with the large preponderance of Swedish population of the islands, as reasons why they should now re vert to her. In the spring of 1918, when warfare between the white guards and bolshe vik forces broke out In Finland and it was repbrted the Germans planned to make use of the islands in con nectlon with their operations in Fin land, Sweden sent troops to occupy the islands.
