Hope that the United SUtes will take the lead to "outlaw war" and se cure the permanent peace of the world, was voiced by Senator Harding today in a speech at a homecoming celebration at Mount Gllead, Ohio, a small town in his native county. Independence Comes First Addressing a crowd from a street booth where members of the American Legion were solicit ing funds for a home forltheir lo cal post, the Republican nominee declared he was willing to do any thing short of surrendering the nation s independence to attain world concord. He maintained that acceptance of the league of nations aa it was written, howev er, would involve a sacrifice o nationality which no frienl of peace should advocate. Woald "Oatlaw War" "I want to ahow my gratitude to these men in an effective way. said Senator Harding turning to the former service men, "by see ing that neither -they nor their sons nor their sons sons shall ever be called to the. battlo front again. I am not sure that I am in complete accord with others as to the means, but if I can speak the conscience of America, we will lead the world to outlaw war.' He also declared the nation must show "practical, helpful generosity," to the former soldier. adding that it was unfair to im pose u n 1 versa y ; service unless there was to be an adequate ex preesion ot gratitude with the rc turn ot peace.
