easy for the President to have gone

and Z. the same time has assumed

Furthermore. the announcement is

appointment shows that President
Harding Is fully conscious Of what
the success or failure OF this epoch

administration Secretary Hughes is
not likely to reopen old and old
cont in an effort TO impress
the peoples of the earth with his
rhetorical and historical inspiration.
He Is not the man to rub radical and
rational currents the wrong way in
such a amer as to shock and irri-
tate foreign feelings. The one great
danger in American statesmen. due in
large measure to a provincial grasp Of
foreign politics and tendencies is to
make unfortunate remarks. Secre-
