Use of Military Power With

IncOnceivable.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-Pres't
Harding. it was said at the white
house Friday, Will not object If the
senate considers il necessary to at
tack reservations 10 the four power
Pacific treaty provided the senate
considers them necessary, but he
does not himself consider there is
need for them at this time. II Is
inconceivable in his view that any
president would employ the military
power Of the United States 10 make
war without the direction and au-
thOrity of congress.
The Statement.
The presidents statement, which
was delivered orally and then Tor
mally given out. follows:
The president will offer no COM
ment on the disputes which attempt
to magnify the differing constrUc-
tons in four party treaty. To him
these are unimportant. The big
things aimed at are understandings
for peace and an agreement to meet
and discuss the preservation OF
peace whenever II is threatened.
No Alliance Considered.
NO alliance or ENHANCEMENT is
thought Of none will be negotiated.
1t would be better to rejoice over
things accomplished than TO dwell
on differing views which can be OF
no great consequence. The presi-
dent is unwilling that the unjustified
charge that the United States dele
gates are Withholding information
shall go unchallenged. He had full
confidence, else he had not chosen
them, and ne has full confidence now
and is more than gratihed over their
efforts. because they are working out
the greatest contribution to peace
and good will which has ever mark
ed the Christmas time in all the
Christian era.
1T is one thing to talk about the
ideals of peace, but the bigger thing
is to seek the actually. This the
conference is doing, in harmony with
an overwhelming American senti-
ment and a world sentiment, too,
and in full accord with cherished
American traditions"

felt that the problem should be Eek
