JACKSONVILLE, Feb. 25.--A ser

crowd of several thousand, who he
addressed from the balcony of his no

ton Of the American people it is go
ing to say to all America. 1 know that
there is not man here who does not
rejoice in American solidarity and ma
tionality and who does not want it
preserved"
The plea for coordination Of sec
tional and party effort was made in
different form to a gathering of bust
ness men earlier in the day at a cham
Der of commerce luncheon and tho
need for personal cooperation was
stressed in a talk he delivered late in
the afternoon at a special Masonic
ceremony. In his remarks at the Ma
sonic meeting he praised the spirit OF
fraternity and asserted that no better
standard could be adopted as the
measure of patriotism.
Without abiding directly to the in
ternational problems that must be
solved by his administration. Mr..
Harding stressed the necessity of pre-
served nationality in all three Of his
addresses, declaring before the cham
Der of commerce that he would rather
boast of being an American citizen
than a potentate anywhere else in
the world"

to be a week from today, I want to

Continuance Of the business read

ALLIES WILL PAY 4
ALL WAR DEBTS
Thomas w. Lamont Declares There
Were No Private Agreements.
10y The Associated Press.)

(By The Associated Presss1
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Feb. 25--Al
the allies viii pay their war debts to the
United States. Thomas w. Lamont, part
ner in j. p. Morgan and company, who
was one of the United States treasury
representatives upon the American COM
mission to negotiate peace. declared to-
night before the Philadelphia Public
Ledger forum of the peace conference.
II note q constant reference to some
alleged secret understandings arrived at
in Paris said the financier, between
President Wilson and his advisers on one
hand and the French and British repre-
sentatives on the other. to the effect
that allied Indebtedness to the United
States should in whole or in part be
cancelled or forgiven.
'tThere aln't no such thing. From start
to finish of the peace conference, Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers, without
exception, opposed vigorously and finally
any such suggestion or proposition of
cancellation. There was no commitment,
expressed or inferred, near or remote,
moral or otherwise, as to the handling
OF the allied indebtedness to the United
States government. All the main facts
in the suggested arrangement for the
substitution OF German for Belgian
bonds were made public at the time.
''The whole question of international
American people must, in the last analy
sis. determine it upon the principle OF
what course is best calculated to bene-
fit the world as whole including Amer
lea"
Deprecating Americas lack of repre-
sentation on the permanent reparations
commission, Mr.. Lamont saidI
This commission. in my judgment,
has been in a considerable measure, re-
sponsible for the lamentable delay that
has occurred in fixing the amount OF
the German indemnity.
"Our. failure to name a daily delegate
for this commission has been not
merely a great disappointment to our
former associates in the war, but has,
believe, been largely responsible for
the continued economic unsettlement in
Europe with ITS unfortunate reflex upon
our Gown industrial and commercial
business"
