BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Nov. H. Facing a border crowd in which were many citizens of Mexico and several officials of the Mexican government, President-elect Harding proposed here today foreign policy directed toward peace and friendship but demanding always full protection of American na- tionality and American citizens wher- ever they may go.
 The address. his first prepared ut terance since his election to the presi dency, was delivered from a stand on the Fort Brown parade grounds, with in a few hundred yards of the inter national boundary. The cavalry sabres of the Fort Brown garrison rattled about him, but in place Of honor on his right was also @ part of the Mex ican garrison of Matamoras, paying a visit of compliment and courtesy to the next American president. In his address. devoted jointly to the significance of Armistice day and to the country's foreign relations, he did not mention Mexico by name nor did he refer directly to the league of na- tions.
 we crave fraternity" he said, "we | wish amicable relations everywhere we offer peace and choose to promote | 1t, but we demand our freedom and our own America believe an Amer | lea eminent on the seas, respected in every avenue of trade, will be safer at home and greater in influence throughout the world. I like to think of an America whose citizens are ever seeking the greater development and enlarged resources and widened in- fluence of the republic, and I like to think of a government which protects it's citizens wherever they go on a law 1 full mission, anywhere under the shin | ing sun."
 l Mir. Harding also suggested that the nation learned a lesson of preparedness l from the experience of the world war and spoke a word for waterway de- velopment. He praised the efforts of Texas citizens toward the development of adequate port facilities at the mouth Of the Rio Grande, declaring his vaca- | tion visit to Point Isabel had brought a new realization of the economic pos abilities of the state.
 Although primarily an Armistice day celebration, the program of addresses and the parade which preceded it were also planned as welcome to the presi- dent-elect and as a boost for the Rio Grande deep waterways movement The crowd came by thousands from many of the Rio Grande valley cities and from across the border and there were in the day many events to em- phasize both national unity and inter national friendship.
