President Harding in Special Message Says America
Will Have No Part in Existing League of Nations

Washington, April 12.-Pres-
ident Harding personally ad-
dressed the house and senate
this afternoon, outlining the for
eign policy, which definitely and
finally scraps" the league of
nations as it now exists, saying
that the United States can never
become a member, and to get
the nation back on a peace basis
the President declared that he
would approve congressional
resolution to this effect, pro-
viding that it contained no more
than a simple declaration that
the state of war which existed
between the United States and
Germany for four years is at
an end. g.
In discussing the treaty itself
the President said that the wiser
course would seem to be the ac-
ceptance and confirmation of
our rights and interests as al
ready provided and to engage
under the existing treaty, as
Stunning of course, this can be
satisfactorily accomplished by
such explicit reservations and
modification as will secure our
absolute freedom from inadvis-
able commitments and safe
guard our essential interests.

world so informed and with the
status of peace proclaimed at

on the entire subject. Such a
proposal has real merit, and am
convinced that in the mutual toll
erance of understanding and the
interdependence of the races
and the maintenance of the
rights of citizenship lies the
road to rig: teous adjustment.
We face the fact, said the
President, that many millions of
people of African decent are
among our population, and that
in numbers of states they con-
stitute a very large proportion
of the total population. It is
not necessary to recount the diff
ficulties incident to this condi-
ton, nor to emhasize the fact
that it is condition which can
not be removed.
NeDtner branch OF the govern
ment can be unmindful of the
call for reduced expenditures
for the army and navy. The
government is in accord with
the visit to eliminate the burdens
of reavy armament. The Unit
ed States ever will be in har-
mony with such movement
toward the high attachments of
peace but we shall not entirely
discard our agencies for defense
until there is removed the need
to defend. We are ready to
cooperate with other nations
to approximate disarmaments
but the merest prudence forbids
that we disarm alone.

home We may proceed to nego-
tate the covenanted relationship
so essential to the recognition
of all rights everywhere of our
own nation and play our full
part in the joining of the peo-
pie of the world in the pursuits

houses continued in session during
the afternoon for the passage of To-
cal bills. tt!~ silrnf,t~r
Tie resolution calling for adjourn
ment was adopted Saturday night.
The closing hours of the session were
marked by watchful waiting for the
return of the miscellaneous appro-
priation bill from the governors or
flee and waiting for a chance to pass
it over his veto.
Eight senator's voted to sustain the
governors veto. The bill passed,
81 to 8, the governors veto to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
While the legislative clocks and
the journals show that the action
was taken Saturday, as a matter of
fact the closing chapter was written
Sunday afternoon at four o'clock.
The governors veto message on
the miscellaneous appropriation bill
which carried the $3.50 bonus to the
members, was as follows:
ITO the Sixty-Second General AS
sembly Of the state of Tennessee;
II herewith return this bill with
out my approval as relates to. the

"Tbis language is plain, and my

"There is doubtless merit in the
contention that the compensation al
lowed is but little more than neces

existed during the period that sucf
honors were sought, and it cannot be
said that any member was mistaken
