Puts Industrial and Social
 Peace At Home Above Everything Else in World.

Marion, O.. Aug. 4.-Dccrying ap- peals to classes as a menace second only to surrender of nationality to internattonality. Senator Harding In his second front porch presidential campaign speech today declared that if he could choose but one he would rather have industrial and social peace at home than command the in- tcrnationai peace of the world"
 He asserted it would be unwsse for this country 10 permit "our acc tivitioa in seeking for peace tn tho old World to blind us to the es- sontIais of peace at home" and added that K America can be made to for get the attempted barter of national ity, we'll and good" but that when nationality ia surrendered to interna- flonnIity. little else matters and all appeal is vain" The address was delivered to q delegation of Wayne county Ohio republicans.
 scorcs League of Nations
 Taking up the league of nations Senator Harding declared it to be tho other extreme to referendum on a propo~ed sdeclaration Of war. TT emphaticniiy aEree'' he said. that no authority other than congress may call our, boys to battle. Accepting this truth why make covenant which violates the good faith of na- tionn7'.
 Suppose" hc continued that un- der Article x. n program of armed force is agreed upon and the con gress of the United States declines to respond. The executive would be called upon to carry on war with out constitutional authority or we should prove our compact no moro than scrap of paper. We are on the side of both safety and honor to hold for ourselves the decision of our obligations to the world"
 Amcrica'- Problem.
 Senator Harding said in part:
 There have come to me. not at all pnbecominxiy the expressed anx- ieties of Americans foreign born who arc asking our country's future at. titude on territorial awards tn tho adjustment of peace. They are Am orleans all but they have a proper and natural interest in the fortunes of klnsfolk and native lands. If our land is to settle the envies. rivalrics, jeal- ou~iea and hatrods of all civilization, these adopted sons of the republic want the settlement favorable to the land from which they came.
 The misfortune Is not alone that it rends the concord of nations, the greater the pity Is that it rends the concord of our citizenship at home. It is folly to think of blending Greek and Bulgarian, Italian and Slovac or making any of them rejoicingly Am .rican when the land of adoption sits fin judgment on the land from which they came.
 Minds own Business.
 "we need to he rescued from the visionary and fruitless pursuit Of peace through super-government. do not want Americans of foreign birth making their party alignments on what VIC mean 10 do for some na- ton of the old World. We want them to he republicans because of what We mean to do for tho United States of America. Our call for un- ision not rival sympathies: our need is concord, not the antiquities of long inheritance.
 Tt would be a sorry day for this republic if we allowed our activities in seeking for peace in the old World to blind us to the essentials of peace at home.
 'It Ia said that the democrats mean especially to appeal to the farmers and the wage earncrs and let America forget the failure of tho world ex- pertment. ff America can be made to forget the attempted barter of na- tionaiity. we'll and good. It would he better if we could forget. But when nationality is surrendered to interna- tionality little else matters and all appeal Is in vain. There Is only one other menace SO threatening to our tranquility. Than menace Is the ap- peal to class in determining what our government is Co he. would hold myself unvorthy Of your confidence R T spoke an appeal to either farmers or wage earncrs because of their larger numbers.
