Cancellation idea Unpopular Here
And Made More So by Diplomats

on the subject of possible cancellation of
the European loans j hesitate to say more
than l have already written here. The pro-
posal is hopelessly unpopular for obvious
reasons. The country feels Europe ought to
pay, and the feeling has been enormously
accumulated by more or less maladroit
man9uvres by certain foreign statesmen.
The effort to establish the idea that there

Mr. Harding's Foreign Policy

Mr.. Wilson's foreign policy, as expressed
at Paris undertook to make us moral guar

rivalries. territorial and otherwise. From
tho consequences of such policy, expressed
in American responsibilities the American
people revolted and their revolt destroyed

all else directed at political and moral ends
and involved us without limit in European
questions in which our people failed T.

trary, will have TO take note not of moral or

policy of isolation in these departments OF

Liberty and Fair Dealing Is
The Foundation of the Nation

AS Americans we should persistently urge
sound and practical Americanization meth
DDS and policies. To protect the national
unity and security no American community
should be permitted TO substitute any other
language for English as the basis or instru-
ment for common school education. 1t has
often been quoted that 1.-THE cornerstone Of
American government and of American
life-the cornerstone of Americanism-is the
civil liberty OF the individual citizen"
The essentials OF the civil liberty are pro-
claimed in the Declaration of Independence
and defined In the Constitution of the United
States. The Declaration OF Independence
rings as true to-day as it did in 1776. The
Constitution remains the surest and safest
foundation for a free government that the
wit OF man has yet devised.
Now to illustrate my argument: II l can
hold q man TO his contracts, I ought & owe
IT'D TO pay my own debts If I may worship
as please, / ought TO refrain from perse-
cutting another on account of his religion.
If the Government deals fairly with me.
ought to deal fairly with 1t and refuse TO
cheat it. II I am allowed freedom OF speech,
ought not to abuse the privilege. II have
q right to my good name and reputation, i
ought not 10 Islander my neighbor. II Gov

to be ready to take up arms in its defence.

duty and obligation. and men will tread this
path not because a Legislature commands
them, but because their conscience leads

Faithful adherence to the strong and en-
during basic foundations of the Constitution,
and n high purpose to apply the funda-
mental principles Of American life with sym
pathy and open mndedness to each new
problem that presents itself will give us n
people increasingly prosperous, increasingly
happy and increasingly secure. America
will be saved through education and reason
by those who look with respect and rev
erence upon the great series OF events ex-
tending from the voyage OF the Maynower
TO the achievements OF the American armies
on the soil of France, and upon that long
succession of statesmen, orators, men OF
letters. and men of affairs who have them

America FlatIy Votes to
Stay Out of Europe's Disputes

But laying aside all questions of various
policies there is one fact which it seems to
me must be fully appreciated by the Ameri-
can people, The election last November
fairly clearly demonstrated that our country
is determined to stay out of all European
political disputes, ethnic, military ma
tional The public voted against defending
foreign frontiers guaranteeing eXistin:7
political conditions. The decision was un-
mistakable and the meaning has not been
misunderstood by the politicians or by the
members of the Senate and the House OF
Representatives. So far a policy of 'isola-
ton" was disclosed TO be desired.
The events of the last few months, how
ever, have clearly demonstrated that while
it may be possible to avoid political entangle-
ments it is totally impossible to escape
economic complications. We are suffering
to-day in our industries and in our own
factories and farms from the closing of the
European markets. We shall continue to
suffer if the markets remain closed More
over, since Europe owes us S11,0 100000 in
loans and $4,000. 10000 900 in credits, we have
an enormous stake involved in the European
game. This stake equals the sum total ~
the costs Of the war to US, aside from
foreign loans.
Unless economic order be restored on the
European Continent we shall lose all of tn.
$4,000 100000, and, what is of more immc
date Importance. shall lose the markets
in which alone can dispose of our own
surplus production of raw materials and
foodstuffs as well of certain manufac-
tured articles of which automobiles and
farm machinery are striking examples To
raise the tariff now may protect our own
markets from foreign manufactures, but IL
will not assist in the disposal OF our own
surplus, and it will automatically stop the
payment Of the sums Europe owes us on
the various loans
Sooner or later shall have to sit into
some economic association OF nations. if only
a conference without power or permanence
to join with all the other nations in some
combined effort to restore the economic
stability of the world. The alternative is not
merely the loss of what have lent or
risked in Europe, but that danger which
must follow the persistence of anarchy in
Europe and the closing of all European mar
kets to our products
