Washington, March 4.-President
Harding's inaugural address was as
follows:
My countrymen-When one SURVEYS
the world about him after the great
storm, noting the marks of destruction
and yet rejoicing in the ruggedness of
the things which withStood il. If he is
an American he breathes the clarified
atmosphere with strange mingling

iiZation are inseperable, and though
both We're threatened, we find them
now secure, and there comes to Amer

both.

with union maintained, the nation su-
preme and its concord inspiring. We
have seen the world rivet its hopeful
gaze on the great truths on which the
founders wrought. We have seen civil,
human and religious liberty verified
and glorified. In the beginning, the
world scoffed at our experiment.
today our foundations of political
and social belief stand unshaken, a
precious Inheritance to ourselves, an
inspiring example of freedom and CIV
jlization to all mankind. Let us ex-
press renewed and strengthened de-
votiOn, in grateful reverence for the
immortal beginning, and utter our con-
fdence in the supreme fulfillment.
Progress Proves Wisdom.
The recorded progress of our re-
public. materially and spiritually, In
itself proves the wisdom of the in
herited policy of non-involvement in
old world affairs. Confident of our
ability to work out our own destiny,
and jealousy guarding our right to do
so, we seek no part in directing the
destinies of the old world. We do not
mean to be entangled. We will accept
no responsibility except as our own
conscience and Judgment, in each In
Z stance, may determine.
Our eyes never will be blind to a
developing menace, our ears never
deaf to the call of civilization. We
recognize the new order in the world,
with the closer contacts which prog
ress has wrought. We sense the call
Of the human heart for Fellowship, fra
ternity and cooperation. We crave
fellowship, and harbor no hate. But
America, our America, the America
builded on the foundation laid by the
inspired fathers, can be party
to no permanent military alliance. 1t
can enter into no political commit
ments nor assume any economic obli-
cations which will subject our deci-
sions to any other than our own au-
thority.
/ am sure our own people will not
misunderstood, nor the world miscon-
strue. We have no thought to impede
the paths to closer relationship. We
wish to promote understanding. We

England Is Sending
Enjoys on u. S. Debt

Negotiations for the funding of the British debt to the
United States will begin Immediately upon the arrival Of
Lord Chalmers in this country, Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon announced today, Lord Chalmers will sail from
England Saturday. s
Secretary Mellon said the arrangements for the ne
gotaons will be made by the State Department and THAT
the British ambassador may participate.
Although this country will let Great Britain initiate
the proposals for funding Secretary Mellon said today that
under the law the maturity of the debt cannot be extended
beyond 194 and that the interest borne must be equal to
that of Liberty bonds unless special legislation provides
otherwise,
The Secretary indicated that hope is held out
that Great Britain may offer proposals which will bring
the maturity of the debt prior to 1947.

Announcement of the reduction in
prices by the Steel Corporation was
| received with mixed feelings. While
| the move was hailed as good step
toward readjustment, it was felt by
many traders that the reduction
should have been larger. They
| argue that no lasting demand has
ever developed in the steel industry
as the direct result of price-cutting.
The real buying, they state, does not
become evident until prices have
been slashed and then begin to stiffen
again. Induced by the possibility of
an advance and encouraged by the
belief that PRICES have reached bot
tom. manufacturers are brought into
the market. In some quarters a more
radical cut was looked for, and it is
felt that this may hold up buying
to some extent. Interests identified
with the steel industry believe the
next step in the corporations read
justment program will be the set
tlement of the wage question. This,
Il is understood will not take the
form of an actual reduction in rates
at once. A return to she ehht-hour
day is what Is looked for. Then,
somewhat later, wage rates may be
reduced, accompanied by further cuts
in prices. Judge Gary is maintain
ing a strict reticence, and from all
indications will probably make no
statement before he addresses stock
holders at the annual meeting in
Hoboken on Monday.

ANNIVERSARIES.

Moderation. the noblest gift of Heaven.

nECENTLY ut silver wedding
N anniversary of prominent New
Yorker the invitations, which were
engraved in silver, contained these
words at one side: 1.-The demands of
war relief are pressing. We hope for
your presence-not presents-at our
silver wedding anniversary" Among
the guests present at this anniversary
reception were scores of New York's
most noted society folk, the very
people whom we usually look to for
leadership in such matters of social
usage. So If you are looking for u
precedent in adding to your invita-
tions for anniversary receptions or
other occasions when presents might
be expected some Indication of the
fact that you would prefer not to
have them, here it Is.
The fact is that often people re-
frain from having wedding anniver-
snry parties for the simple reason
that they hesitate to send invitations
that will make the recipients feel that
they are Obliged to make some sort
of present. When this is for a tin
Or wooden wedding the obligation is
trifing, but when it is for a silver
or golden wedding then there is more
cause for this hesitancy.
Usually any anniversary for any
thing less than a silver wedding takes
