Statement Declares
That He Is More Than
Satisfied With Pact

Washington, Dec. 23.-Presi-
dent Harding in a formal state
ment today declared that the diff
ferences OF Interpretation which
have arisen over the four power

"unimportant."

effort had been made to magnify
his difference of view with the
American delegates regarding the
treaty, the president asserted that
he was t'more than satisfied" with
the work Of the delegates and
that they had his full confidence
He also asserted that an unjus-
titled charge had been made that
the American delegation is with
holding information" and that ht
could not permit such a charge
to be unchallenged.
Reverting to another feature O
the fight that Is being mad
! against the treaty in the senat,
Mr.. Harding asserted that tn
pact contemplated no alliance o
entanglement." 1t is in full ac
cord. he said, with cherished Am
erican traditions.
The president asked that eur
important controversies as to IL
depreciation not be permitted
preserve peace and to provide Il
/ a means of consultation whe
peace Is threatened.
