GERMANY HAD HOPED
FoR ANOTHER POSITION

Ey Associated rrcss.l
BERLIN. March 6.-From the Ger
man standpoint Ii may have been
hoped that President Harding would
assume another position than that
indicated in his inaugural address.
says the Lokal Anzcigcr yesterday
in it's comment on the American

American viewpoint it thinks there
is no denying the wisdom OF an at

freedom Of action in European ar
fairs.

Tho TaGeblatt says the contents
OF the note may be summed up as

adds, however. that this is the Pres

Harding is reckoning on the POSSIBLE
