position of his views on the forma-
tion of an association of nations,
merely renewing in. his address his
pledge to work for such an organi-
zation.
President Harding's principal rec
concentrations to Congress In his
first annual address delivered to-day
included the following:
FOREIGN RELATIONS-No sepa-
rate peace treaties with the central
powers ION the assumption alone
that these would be adequate" THE
wiser course would seem to be
to engage under the existing treaty,
assuming, of course. that this can be
satisfactorily accomplished by such
explicit reservations and modifica-
tions as would secure our absolute
freedom of inadvisable commitments
and safeguard all our essential in
terests. . No helpful society
of nations can be fdinded on justice
and committed to peace until the
covenants re-establishfng peace are
sealed by the nations which were at
war;"
TAXATION-Readj djustment of in
ternal taxes and revision of repeal
"of those taxes which have become
unproductive and are so artificial and
burdensome as to defeat their own
purpose"

emergency in character and under
stood by our people that 1t is for the
emergency only"
RAILDOADS-Eficie operation
"at a cost within that which the tariff
can bear. - Railway rates and
costs of operation mast be reduced. :"
1.-The remaining obstacles
which are the heritage of capitalistic
exploitation must be removed and la
Dor must join management in under

is the public to be served and simple
justice is the right and will continue
to be the right of all the people"

ing of laws governing Federal aid.
MERCHANT MARINE-The Uni
ted States means to establish and
maintain a great merchant marine"
COMMUNICATIONS-"P riva e

ARMY AND NAvY-Early consid-
Grafton of pending appropriation bills
was urged. THE Government is in
accord with the wish to eliminate the
burdens OF heavy armament" said
the President. The United States
will ever be in harmony with such a
movement toward the higher attain
ments of peace. But We shall not
entirely discard our agencies for de-
fense until there is removed the need
to defend. We are ready to cooper
. ate with other nations to approxi-
mate, disarmament. but merest prud-
ence forbids that we disarm alone"
