Regarding the conflict between the
president and the senate regarding
the peace treaty. Mr. Harding spoke
at length, outlining the stand which
had been taken by both sides. He
added Out Of any disappointment
has come one great consolation. The
senate and congress are functioning
again. and the senale had proven itself
as a continuing and deliberate body
which stands as buffer between
ephemerai passion and the reflective
judgment OF the American people. and
holds out restraining hand against
usurpation Of power no matter how
well meant or how beautifully dis
guised. This republic is too big for
one-man government. No matter how
intellectual and brilliant; no matter
how gigantic his stature, no matter
how eminent his service or how pat
riotic his motives. no man shall rule
the republic or dictate its destinies.

There are and ever will be outstand-
ing personalities and appealing lead

peace, duly covenanted. and the Ameri-
can people and the world may charge

and attempted dtctation. where party
council and co-ordinated government
would have led to instant understand

Harding believes his party should
pledge the gratitude OF the republic
