Senator Harding in his second front porch
Presidential campaign speech today de-
clared that if he could choose but one he
would rather have industrial and social
peace ut home than command the inter
national peace OF the world.
He asserted II would hc unwIsc Tor thus
country to permit 'our activities IN seek
ing for peace in the old world to blind us
10 the essentials of peace at home and
added that II America can be made To
forget the attempted barter oi nationality,
well and good but that when national
ity is surrendered 10 Internationally,
little else matters ard all appeal Is vain.
The address was delivered to a delegation
| of Wayne county. Ohio Republicans.
Taking up the League OF Nations.
Senator Harding declared 1t Ia he the
other extreme to a referendum on pro
posed declaration of war Il cmphahcally
agree he sand that no authority other
than Congress may call our boys to battle
Accepting this truth, why make a covcn-
ant which violates the good faith OF
nations?
"Supnosc, he continued, that under
Article y. q program of armed force Is
agreed upon and the Congress OF the
United States declines to respond The
executive would Toe called upon to carry on
a war without constitutional authority or
We should prove our compact no more than
"A scrap OF paper We are ON the sldo OF
both safety and honor tohold for ourselves

world

They are Americans all, hut they have
proper and natural interest IN the fortune
Of klnsfok and native lnuds. II our land
is to settle the cnvlcs rlValrcs, Iealouslcs
and hatrrds If All civilization, these
adopted ms of the republic want the set
tlcmcut favorable to the land from which
they came

citizenship III home II is folly 70 think u
