The vice president then paid
tribute to President Harding, ascrib-
ing to him many of the virtues that
made Mckinley SO beloved.
Mr.. Coolidge spoke Of the personal
affection which all who came in con-
tact with Mr.. Harding felt. The
open White House gates are but the
wishes his every approach open to the
people," he said.
This disposition has been mani
fest in the co-ordinating harmony Of
all government activities. There is
harmony in the cabinet and in con-
gress, bred not of coercion but OF CO.
operation. There has been estab-
lished in Washington government Of
the people. - .
"The confidence Of South American
republics is being restored. The
terms oH WHICH commercial FelauOnS
with Russia can be entertained have
been stated. The existing differences
between this country and Mexico have
been at last clearly defined. Invita-
tions to meddle in Europe have been
refused. but the obligation to make
reparations in accordance to stipu-
lated agreements has been expressed
in way most effective in preserving
peace. Contact with the Allied ma
tions has been resumed. - The
attitude of the president has been .
far greater influence than is vet real-
lied in pacifying Europe. If by the
meeting of their obligations to the
best Of their ability, the German
peoples shall be restored and stahil-
lied Europe shall again take up the
burdens of civilization to the relief
due the present administration"
