PRESIDENTS FIRST MESSAGE
 IS DELIVERED TO CONGRESS
HARDING IS OPPOSED TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS AND FAyORs A SEPARATE PEACE-READs
 HIS OWN MESSAGE.

NANANAAsAAA of the cost of government.
 Business: Less of government ir business as well as more business in government. There is no challenge l to honest and lawful business success But government approval of fortunate untrammeled business does not mean federation of restraint of trade or of maintained prices by unnatural meth. ods. Anxious as we are to restore the onward flow of business, it is fair to combine assurance and warning in one utterance
 1 Agriculture: The maintained retail costs in perishable foods cannot be justified. Reduced costs of basic production has been recorded, but high cost of living has not yielded in like proportion. Without the spirit of hostility or haste in accusation of profteering some suitable inquiry by Congress might speed the price re adjustment to normal relationship with helpfulness to both producer and con sumer. A measuring rod of fair prices will satisfy the country and give us business revival to end all depres- sion and unemployment.
 Foreign Policy.
 These were the principal subjects touched on in the address, which was about 7,500 words in length and a large portion of which was devoted to the related subjects of peace, the League of Nations and the country's foreign policy.
 The presidents discussion of the peace question opened with a definite declaration against the existing league. ''In the existing League of Nations. world governing with it's super powers" says the president, this re- public will have no part.
 There can be no misinterpretation and there will be no betrayal of the deliberate expression of the American people in the recent election and settled in our decision for ourselves, it is only fair to say to the world in general and to our associates in war i'll particular that the league covenant can have no sanction by us. Mani festly the highest purpose of the League of Nations was defeated in linking it with the treaty of peace and making it the enforcing agency of the victors of the war. There can be no prosperity for the fundamental purposes sought to be achieved by any such association, so long as it is the organ of any particular treaty or committed to the attainment of the l special aims of any nation or group of nations. In rejecting the league covenant and uttering the rejections to our own people, and to the world, we aim for an association to promote peace, in which we would most heartily join. In the national refer endum (the last election) We pledged our efforts toward such association, and the pledge will be faithfully kept. In the plight of policy and perform ance we told the American people we meant to seek an early establishment of peace. The United States alone among the allies and associated powers continues in technical state of war against the Central powers of Europe
 To Secure Peace.
 "The anomalous conditions ought not to be permitted to continue. To establish the state of technical peace without delay l should approve a declaratory resolution by Congress to that effect, with the qualifications essential to protect all our rights Such action would be the simplest keeping of faith with ourselves, and could in no sense be construed as 6 assertion of those with whom WIG shared our sacrifices in war, for these powers already are at peace.
 Such a resolution should undertake to do no more than thus to declare the state of peace which all America I craves. It must add no difficulty ir effecting, with just separations tho restoration for which all Europe yearns and upon which the worlds economy must be founded. Neither former enemy nor ally can mistake America's position, because our att tude as to responsibility for the wa etilO NAtG AtSCSSottJ AO4 109S 4NPpA HttSAis already has had formal and very ear nest expression.
 It would be unwise to undertak' to make such statement of futur, policy with respect to European af fairs in such a declaration of stat' of peace. In correcting the failur' of the executive in negotiating tn, : most important treaty in the histor. of the nation to recognize the con stituted powers of the Senate VI , would go to the other extreme, equall. : objectionable, if Congress or the Sen ate should assume the function of tn | executive. Our highest duty is tn -~->-~~------~->------->--~--
