" HARDING IN MESSAGE TELLS
i CONGRESS WORLD PEACE NIGH,
URGES IAIFJEBI REFUND
Most Gratifying World Accomplishment By Arms Conference
Not Improbable IL S. Will Help Unselfishly in World
Restoraton and Resumption Normal Trade Merchant Ma
rine Needs Adjustments, and Farmers Aided Through Co
operative Markets and Lower Freight Rates Arbitrate
Strikes,' Reclaim Lands Silent On Bonus Bill.
"WASHINGTON, Dec. G President
Harding Informed congress todny, in
his first annual message, that "a most
gratifying world accomplishment" by
the arms -conference "la not improb
able." The mesa.ge was delivered by
the-president in person In the cham
ber of the house and in the presence
of the delegates to the conference and
most of the diplomats regularly sta
tioned in "Washington.
At the outset, the president dis
cussed world, conditions, saying 'a
world restoration program" would
have to be worked out "by the na
tions more directly concerned." Tho
United Ktutes will help, he added, un
selfishly, because there is compensa
tion in the consciousness of assisting:
selfishly, because the commerce and
International exchanges in trade,
which marked our high tide of fortu
nate advancement, are possible only
when the nations of all continents are
restored to stable order and normal
relationship.
Turning to domestic problems, the
president urgently recommended an
early enactment of the permanent
tariff and foreign debt refunding bills.
He also announced that later on he
would make some recommendations!
about renewed consideration of tax
program, involving further reductions
and the abolition of "hindering bur
dens." Ho also suggested considera
tion by congress of an amendment to
the constitution to end the issue of
non-taxable bonds.
WAHHINOTON,' Dec. 0. "With re
gard to the merchant marine, Mr.
Harding said It was tho purpose to
present a plan which "contemplates
no greater draft on the public treas
ury, and which, though yet too crude
to offer it today, gives such promise
of expanding our merchant marine
that it will argue its own approval."
"Proper encouragement," for the
co-operative marketing programs as a
means of assisting in the relief of
present conditions in agriculture was
suggested by the executive He also
told tho congress that it should give
its "earnest attention" to a general
policy of transportation of distribut
ed industry and highway construction
to encourage tho spread of the popu
lation and restore tho balance be
tween city and country.
Other recommendations Included:
Plans of conference of common
council, of mediation, arbitration and
Judicial determination in controver
sies between capital and labor.
Federal aid by way of advunces for
reclamation of lands, whore state and
privntc participation Is assured.
An appropriation necessary to sup
ply the American relief administra
tion in Russia, with ten million bush
els of corn and ono million bushels
of seed grains.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. Tho text
of President Harding's message to
congress follows:
Mr. Speaker and members of the
congress:
It is a vory gratifying privilege to
come to tho congress with tho repub
lic at peace with all the nations of the
world. More, it is equally gratifying
to report that our country is not only
free from every impending menace of
war, but there are growing nssur
ranccs of the permanency of the
peace, which wo so deeply cherish.
For approximately ten years wp
have dwelt amid menaces of war or as
participants in war's activities and
tho Inevitable aftermath, with its dis
ordered conditions, has added to the
difficulties of government which ade
quately cannot be appraised except by
those who are in immedlato contact
and know the responsibilities. Our
tasks would be less difficult if we
had only ourselves to consider, but so
much of the world wns Involved, the
disordered conditions are so well nigh
universal, even among nations not en
gaged in actual warfare, that no per
manent readjustments can bo affect
ed without consideration of our In
TO
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. (By the i
Associated Press) The Chinese dele-
gation to the armament conference, ,
it was learned todny has received ex-1
Illicit instructions from the Peking ;
government not to recede from Its pe
tition for the unconditional return of
the Kiao Chau leasehold in Shantung
and to protect China's Interest in 1
Manchuria. Many cnlilegiams an
escapable relationship io world affairs
In finance and trude. Indeed wo
should bo unworthy of our best tra
ditions if we were unmindful of so
cial, moral and political conditions,
which are not of direct Importance
to us, but which do appeal to tho hu
man sympathies and tho very becom
ing interest of n people blest with our
national good fortune.
It is not my purpose to bring to you
a program of world restoration. In
the main such a program must be
worked out by the nations most di
rectly concerned. They must them
selves return to tho heroic remedies
for the menacing conditions under
which they are struggling, then we
can help, and we mean to help. Wo
shall do so unselfishly because there
is compensation in the consciousness
of assisting selflshily hecaue the eom
merceand international exchanges in
trade which marked our high ttldo of
fortunate advancement, are possible
only when the nations of all conti
nents are restored to stable order and
normal relationship.
In the main the contribution of this
republic to restored normalcy In tile
world much come through tho initia
tive of the executive branch of the
government, but the best of inten
tions and most carefully considered
purposes would fail utterly if the
sanction and the co-operation of con
gress were not cheerfully accorded.
I am very sure we shall have no
conflict of opinion about constitu
tional duties or authority. During tho
anxieties of war when noccsslty seem
ed compelling, there wero excessive
grants of authority and an extraordi
nary concentration of powers in the
chief executive. The repeal of war
time legislation and the automatic ex
pirations which attend tho peace
proclamations have put an end to
these emergency excesses, but I have
the wish to go further than that. I
want to join you in restoring. In the
most cordial way, the spirit of co-or-'
dlnation and eo-opcrntion and that
mutuality of confidence and respect,
which is necessary in representative
popular government.
Encroachment upon tho functions
of congress or attempted dictation of
its policy are not to bo thought of.
much less attempted, but there Is an
Insistent call for harmony of purpose
and concord of action to speed the
solution of tho difficult problems con
fronting both tho legislative and
executive brunches of the govcrn
ncnt. It Is worth while to make comment
on our government realising as one
must that my address to you Is to
all our people whom you speak inti
mately for.
A Popular Ilulo
Ours Is a popular government
through political parties. Wo dlvldo
along political lines and I would over
have, ft so. 1 do not mean that parti
san preferences should hinder any
public servant In the performance of
a conscientious and patriotic official
duty. Wo saw partisan lines utterly
obliterated when war imperiled, and
our fulth in tho republic was riveted
anew. We ought not find these parti
san lines obstructing the expeditious
solution of the urgent problems ot
peace.
Granting that we are fundamental
ly a representative popular govern
ment with political parties tho gov
erning agencies, I believe the politi
cal party in power should assume re
sponsibility founded upon policies in
the conference which supplements
conventions and election campaigns,
and then strive for achlcvent through
adherence to the accepted policy.
Thero Is vastly more security, im
mensely mora of tho national view

complishment where our divisions arc

loftier sense, than to divide geo
