Great Railway Strike Is Safely Averted
Harding
Speaks Plainly on
Nations S Race Issue
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 27.-Pres-
ident Harding placed himself squarely
on record as the champion of the Afri
can negro in his efforts to secure
equal political, educational and econ
omic rights but not to place him on a
plane of social equality with his white
reighbor. He did this in a plainly
and simply worded statement on the
race problem made in a speech which
he delivered here yesterday.
The President said he was heartily
with the negro in his efforts to Sc
cure broader political, economical and
educational advantages but he could
never realize aspirations OF social
equality.
Let the black man vote when he
is fit to vote and prohibit the white
man from voting when he is not fit to
vote" said Harding. 81 wish that the
traditions of solidly democratic
south and solidly republican black
race might be broken up. | would in
sist on equal educational opportunities
for men of both races, but one that
will stand against every suggestion of
social equality. This is not question
of meer social equality but one of the
recognition of fundamental, eternal
and inescapable racial differences.
Racial amalgamation there cannot be
but a partnership of the races, devel-
oping the highest aims of humanity,
there must be.
eff humanity is to achieve the ends
that we have set for it the black man
should seek and be encouraged to be
the best possible black man and not
the best possible imitation of a white
man. The world war was marked by
great migration of the colored race
from the South to the North and to
the West, so the race problem has
become a national one"

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 2S-President
Harding preached the gospel of good
will and the binding of the nation in
enduring amity when speaking at
the unveiling of the statue of Henry
w. Grady, the Southern apostle of
national reunion.
Harding took occasion to pay a
tribute to Former President Theodore
Roosevelt who was, he said, OF
Georgia lineage, as an outstanding
American"
In part, the President said "It
has seemed to me that since the
World War ended the world might
let us show it the marvel wrought
through reunited and restored Am
erica. l believe it is wholly consist
ent to preach peace in that convinc
ing sincerity which the United States
as nation commends and yet make
some provision for our proper de
fense. Mankind is disposed to try
that experiment and if in trying i,
the nations fail 1t will be through nc
fault of these United States"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-Republi-
cans in congress and in Washington
official life heartily endorse the say
ings of President Harding in his
Birmingham speech
Senator Willis of Ohio, commenting
on the speech last night said: 1.-THE
Presidents ringing statement in de-
fense of the political and economic
equality of the black and the white
races but at the same time was rec
ognition of the absolute divergence
of the races in things social and
racial. 1t is true encouragement to
the negro to strive earnestly for bet,
terment."
Watson, democrat, of Georgia
said 1--WE of the south will not per
nit either social or political equality
of the races. The former hinges on
the later and they are impossible.
