'SUPER-POWER' INTERFERENCE
 |S DENOUNCED
 BY PRESIDENT
Canadian Urges That Men on This Side Of Water Stand
 Together On Issues FRIENDSHIP IS PLEDGED Harding Says Examples Set By U. s. And Canada Are
 Models for The World

WASHINGTON. June S.-President Harding. delivering commencement address today at American University. found the subject of world peace oc- cuDying so prominent place on the program that he was prompted to de- part from his manuscript and declare for the preservation of peace by SOW ereign states, without interference of world "super-power"
 The presidents remarks followed an address by N. H. Rowell, K. C., of Toronto, who suggested that the best contribution North America could make to civilization was for men on this side of the water to stand be- hind the movement for peaceful set ment of disputes. Another speaker who touched in the question of peace was J. J. Jusserand, the French am- bassador, and the general discussion developed such a trend that Bishop J. w. Hamilton. presiding chancellor, referred 10 the gathering as peace conference"
 Canadian Praised
 Before singing began American, British and French flags were raised over the outdoor speakers stand.
 Il do not think I could let this oc- casion pass, said the presiGens, without giving assent to many of the appropriate and appealing things just uttered by Dr. Powell I liked his expression that American and Can adian ideals are in common. and when he spoke about North American contribution to civilization and to the world. it occurred to me that the ex- ample of two great peoples living side by side in peace. in confidence and in mutual understanding. is. about the finest contribution that two nations could give to the world.
 T have said that if all the nations were as honest and unselfish as our republic. there never would be anoth- CT war. 1 will revise it and say that if all the nations were unselfish and devoted to their ideals as the United States and Canada, there never will be another war.
 Plea for Stability
 'I call attention to the fact that the United States and Canada have settled their controversies satisfactor- fly without resort to super-pOwer, but by the air of the sovereignty of free peoples dealing with one another. If we can commit civilized humanity to abiding righteousness and everlast- ing justice and inspire them with our example, we will have made a long stride toward the peace the world craves."
 With that President Harding plung- ed into his prepared address in which he enjoined all graduates to dedicate themselves to restoring stability in a world where almost nothing re- mains secure from the attacks of icon oclasts.
 In introducing the French ambas- sador, Bishop Hamilton declared that the American and French armies were plighted at Yorktown mar riage bond" which actually was seal ed years later in Flanders.
 The bishop has referred to York town" said M. Jusserand., in begin ming his speech, "and well he may. The three flags above us represent the three nations of Yorktown; one of them in those days on the wrong side, but on the right side now Those three flags are different in the ar rangement of colors, but, Heaven be praised, they are blessed with the same colors. the Red. White and Blue"
