Whereas, animated by the same
spirit OF comradeship in which we of
the American forces fought alongside

MOTHER FUR SEAL.

"They think it is funny" said
Mother Fur Seal. that I am able 10

but l would think it funny if I
couldn't.
"Of course every mother fur seal
would think as l did about this mat

The reason that creatures think it
is funny that l know my own children,
is because we mothers stay about on
the same great beach and there are
thousands of mothers and children all
about.
But | always would know my SON."
said Mother Fur Seal.
our children are such dear play
full merry creatures. Especially when
they're very young, and even during
the first four or five years of their
lives there is nothing they enjoy so
much as swimming and playing, diving
and playing tag and other games.

CAPITAL,
RSiIT AFFAIRS I 6iiiB
No u. S. Rights Have Been Surrendered

when the time comes. it was de-
clared, the United States will be found
demanding: Recognition of right TO
cable base on the Island of Yap, a
right now being contested by japan
which has the mandate over zap.
The right to oil privileges in Meso-
potamia extended to nations affiliated
with the League of Nations, a right
contested by Great Britain.
The spokesman for the administra-
ton today said it would not be the
policy Of the administration to be at
all iiamboyant or boastful or beIliger-
ent in the handling Of foreign prob
lens growing out of the war and sub
sequent treaty negotiations. But this
much he made plain: The rights of
the United States in world affairs ex-
list today right here just as they ex-
listed OH the day of the arnistice.
No one has surrendered any of these
rights; no one had any authority to
surrender such rights.
The rights of the United States could
be altered or curtailed only through n
treaty properly negotiated and rati-
fed; so far as the United States Is
concerned there is no such treaty.

w have been surrendered because of

surrendered. This tersely expresses
the basis of the Harding foreign policy
as outlined today by an authoritative
official Of the new administration.
Although no positive assertion was
made, it was clearly indicated that ut
the proper time the United States

to present its cause, before the league
and to stand rigidly for Americas
claim that it aided to bring about the
victory over Germany and will not sur
render any American rights protected
