On the whole the Harding program
appears to be businesslike and states
manlike. - Cleveland Plain Dealer
(Democratic).
In his efforts toward disarmament
President Harding will have the
hearty good wishes Of his political
opponents.-Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-
zette lDemocratic).
We have set foot upon the road that
will lead US to the era when the
worlds battle flags may be furled.-
Philadelphia Public Ledger Qnde-
pendent).
Leadership in that most worthy
movement (disarmament) is placed in
the hands of America by the action
of President Harding.-Albany Times
Union.
The action the President has taken
in calling a conference to discuss
limitation of armament, we dare say,
will meet with the whole-hearted ap-
proval of the American people with
nf rd n
Richmond (Va) Times-Dispatch Dem-
ocratic).
Nothing of an Importance compar-
able to this call for a conference to
limit armaments has developed dur
ing 1921, with the possible exception
of Germany's final acceptance Of the
allies ultimatum on the indemnity
Richmond (Va.) News-Leader Demo
cratic).
President Harding in making his
bid for conference on the limitation
of ornaments and settlement in the
far east has redeemed his pledge of
America first in a nobler sense than
events Immediately after his election
seemed to promise.-New York Post
Independently.
1t would be impossible to exagger-
ate the significance of the Presidents
action in calling for disarmament
conference. He has assumed leader
ship in a movement to restore world
peace upon a permanent basis. Re-
gardless of all that has gone before,
he has finally paved the way for inter-
national concord. = Brooklyn Eagle
,(Democratic).
With disarmament negotiations car
ried on under our own eyes in our
own capital, and with this country
represented by Mr.. Hughes, in whose
sanity and good judgment the nation
has almost unlimited confidence, there
is real reason to hope for the success
OF Mr.. Harding's undertaking.-Roa-
noke (Va.) World-News (Democratic).
The question is by no means 80
complicated as some statesmen would
make it appear. II two or three ma
tions can agree upon treaties for their
common welfare they can agree upon
treaties for anything. Nations can
agree not to make war as easily as
they contract with each other to fight
for each other.-Pittsburgh Leader.
That such a policy (disarmament)
may be successfully consummated
none should doubt It's failure might
be world calamity; its possibilities
for the good of humanity are so vast
that it would seem as If it could not
fail.-Wall Street Journal.
The Harding note marks the open
ing OF a new era in the peace and
amity of nations. 1t points the way
for America to resume her moral lead
ership' among the nations, and to
realize the ideals that have always
been the distinguishing feature of
Americas traditional foreign policy
from the birth of the naturalization
