Harding Raps Superior
POlUer' interference in .
Mait1tait1g World Peace

Washington, June S.-President
Harding, delivering a commencement
address Wednesday at American uni
versity here found the subject OF
world peace occupying SO prominent
place on the program that he was
prompted to depart from his prepare !
manuscript and declare for the preser
vation Of peace by sovereign states
without the interference of a world
superior power"
The presidents remarks followed
an address by Newton W. Rowen, K.
G., of Toronto, Canada, who suggest
ed that the best contribution North
America could make to civilization was
for men on this side of the water"
to stand together behind the movement
for peaceful settlement Of interna-
tional disputes. Another speaker who
touched on the question of peace was

dor. aud the general discussion devsl-
oped such q trend that Bishop w. w.
Hamilton, the presiding chancellor re-
ferred to the gathering as "peace

An added touch of the same charac-
ter was given by the singing of song
which appeared on the commencement
program under the title of IAN Inter
national Anthem" and which, rendered
to the tune of America and "God
Save the King recounted how 'stwo
nations by the seas, two nations great
and free, one anthem raise"
Before the singing began. the Ameri-
can. British and French flags had been
raised together over the outdoor speak
ers platform.
II do not think / could let this oc-
casion pass" said the president i'm be-
ginning his address, without giving
assent to many of the appropriate and
appealing things just uttered by DR.
Rowell. / liked his expression that
American and Canadian ideals are in
common and when he spoke about the
North American contribution to pres
civilization and to the world it
occurred to me that the example of
two great peoples living side by side
In peace, in confidence and in mutual
understanding is about the first con-
tribution that two nations could give to
the world
II have said on many occasions
that if all the nations of the earth
we're as honest and unselfish as our
there never would be an
other war. / will revise it today and
say that if all the nations Of the
earth are as unselfish and devoted to
their ideals as the United States and |
Canada there never will be another
