much practical progress in this direc-
ton until the conyening of the con-
ference.

official generosity on huge scale
towards China and Russia and Aus
tria have opened n new era of good
viii and helpfulness between nations.
"UNCLE JOE CANNON U), of
Illinois Yes; and President Harding
has contributed more to peace and
good will throughout the world than
any other agency by bringing together
the representatives of nations 10 meet
around one common table and discuss
