when America was asked to take the

nations of the Old World which gath

rope and the storm threatened our own
country We found America torn with
conflicting sympathies and prejudices.
They were not unnatural: indeed, they
we're, in many cases, very excusable,
because we had not promoted the
American spirit; we had not insisted
upon full and unalterabe conservation
to our own country--our country by
birth or adoption. We talked of the
American melting pot over the fires of
freedom, but we did not apply that
fierce flame of patriotic devotion need
ed to fuse all into the pure metal of
.imercanism."
American neglect, rather than the
foreignborn. was responsible, Senator
Harding said, and added:
eve are unalterably against any
present or future hyphenated Ameri-
canism. We have put an end to
prcfxcs. The way to unite and blend
foreign blood in the life stream of
America is to put an end to groups;
an end to classes; an end to
special appeal to any Of them;
and an end to particular favor for
on the Constitution, with equal rights
TO all, and put an end to special favors
at home and special influence abroad,
and think of the American, erect and
confident, in the rights Of his citizen
ship"
Senator Harding told his visitors of
his experiences as member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
when it was hearing the American
spokesmen for foreign peoples during
the peace conference, and told Of his
growing sense of apprehension, of
iorcbodng as he heard foreign born
citizens making impassioned pleas on
behalf of the lands from which thew
came. Then he asked his audience
how America can possibly avoid trou-
bic if she continues to meddle in Old
World strife.
An Italian from Cleveland shouted:
"America first, Senator" and this
brought storm of approval from the
others.
Past Experiments Condemned
"America wants the good will, Of
foreign peoples, and it does not Want
the i'll will of foreign born who have
come to dwell among u.s." continued the
candidate. Then he said:
Nothing helpful has come from the
willful assumption to direct the affairs
of Europe. No good of any kind has
sia. None in the case of Poland. None
in the case Of the Balkan States. None
in the case of Fiume. On the con-
trary, the mistaken policy of interfcr-
ence has broken the draw strings of
GOOD sense and spilled bad counsel and
bad manners all over the world.
THAT policy, my countrymen, is q
bad policy. 1t is bad enough abroad
but it is even more menacing at home.
Meddling abroad tends to make Amer
leans forget that they are Americans.
1t tends to arouse the old and bitter
ceilings of race or former nationality,
or foreign ancestry, in the hearts Of
those who ought never to be forced to

Colby and Daniels Assail
Harding; Defend Hayti

From The Trbune's Washington Bureou
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.--Sharp is
sue with Senator Harding's criticism of
the administration Of Hayti and Santo
Domingo under marine control was
taken to-day by Secretary of State COL
by and Secretary Of the Navy Daniels.
Both Cabinet members said that the
charges Of the Republican Presidential
candidate were unjust"
Secretary Colby limited that the with
drawal of the marines from the two re-
publlcs was now under consideration
by the President, but he declined to in
dlcate whether the withdrawal was i'm
ninent or remote.
He added that Admiral Knapp was
now in liayti making a special study
Of conditions.
Secretary Colby bitterly denounced
Senator Harding's references to Amer
, lcan control of affairs in the two coun-
"Whenever person of prominence
IN the United States endeavors to be-
httlc the constructive efforts of his own
government, as Senator Harding has
sought to do, say his efforts are
cheap Secretary Colby said.
"The American control in Hayti and
Santo Domingo is not Administration
control, but was undertaken at the in
Nllatlon OF tnOSe peoples and with pub
lie opinion Of the United States and the
better opinion of the two republics in
favor Of it. A solemn treaty was en-
tered into between the governments
providing for the use of American naval
forces to stamp down banditry there.
AN attack on this obligation to sat
lsfH the momcntary qualification of
somo private grudgc is unbecoming any
public man. cannot see why we can
not follow the Benjamin Franklin max
i'm, Say only what is useful in this
campaign"
Secretary Daniels's response to Sem
ator Harding's statement dealt spe-
cifically with the charge that "thou-
sands of native Haytians have been
killed by American marines" He said
Senator Harding's charge was an "un-
just reflection on the brave and
patriotic members of the Marine Corps
on duty in Hayti." He said that the
Navy Department would soon make
public the result of Investigations made
