The men who will pay $50 for a

PEACEFUL MEANS

Hints at Substitute for
League in Address
To Graduates.

+ President Harding sees as the
substitute for any superpower for
peace in the world the unfettered
exercise of the sovereignty of free
peoples dealing with one another.
In an interesting formal discus
sion, rather striking because Of the
atmosphere of the occasion and the
personality of those about him. the
President turned from a set speech
at the commencement exercises of
the American university here yes
terday afternoon to respond to a
few words previously spoken by DR..
Newton Wesley Rowell, Canadian
representative in the league Of
nations.
Neither Mentioned the League.
While the league as such was not
mentioned either by Rowell or the
President. its shadow quite obvious
Iy hovered about the remarks of
both. RoweIl had declared that the
history of Canada and the United
States had demonstrated the practi-
cability of settling disputes by some
other methods than war.
TT is to be hoped" he said. that
the North American continent will
seek to introduce a better spirit
in international relations and seek
to settle differences by peaceable
means. 1t should be possible for
us to make this contribution. We
all appreciate the benefits to be de-
rived through freedom from huge
armaments."
The President, whose previously
prepared speech had been devoted
largely to counsel for young Amer
leans leaving their. classrooms to
enter world affairs, departed from
his text long enough to respond to
Rowell.
Text of Address.
The text of his address to the
graduates was as follows:
