Text of Harding
Views on Revival
In u. S. Business

The text Of the statement issued
at the White House yesterday. in
which President Harding reviews
the four months work of the ad-
ministration in assisting industry
and agriculture. is as follows:
The Accomplishments of the last
four months by various branches OF
the government. in the direction of
relieving financial conditions, In
making provision for the govern
ment's short-dated debt, in assist
ing both industry and agriculture
to better markets, and In providing
for the financial necessities of the
railroads. constitute in the aggre-
gate an achievement Of the largest
Importance to the country.
Improve Credit Conditions.
Perhaps the most important devel-
opment has been the action taken
by the Federal reserve banks in re-
ducing discount rates. This action
is calculated 10 relieve the stagna-
tion of business, and at the same
time II gives authoritative recogni-
tion of the Improvement in credit
conditions justifyfng the policy Of
reduced rates. During the latter
part of 1919. and from time to time
in the year 1920, Increases of rates
Of discount had oeen made by the
Federal reserve banks in order to
meet then existing conditions. There
had also been introduced in sew
eral reserve districts so-called pro-
gressive discount rates. under
which. after the member baSk had
discounted its paper with it's Fed
eral reserve bank up to a certain
point, II was then required to pay
progressively higher rates for fur
| ther discounts in order to check ex-
cessive borrowings. These rates
have recently been entirely abol-
ished, again Indicating improved
credit conditions.
Tht first Of the successive reduc-
tions in discount rates came on
April Is when the Boston Federal
Reserve bank reduced its rate on
commercial paper from to 6 per
| cent, and made a like reduction on
agricultural paper.
Banks Make Reductions.
A reduction from z per cent to
81 per cent on commercial paper
was made by the New York bank
on May s, while that on agricul-
tural paper was likewise reduced
from ] to sh per cent.
On May 6 the Atlanta bank reduc-
ed the commercial paper rate and also
the rate on agricultural paper from
TO s per cent.
On May the Chicago bank reduc-
ed the commercial paper rate from
Z to 6h per cent, and the rate of
agricultural paper 7 to 6h per
cent.

FRENCH THREAT
GROWS WEAKER
Paris Cabinet May Not Send
Troops to Silesia In
deendently.

The French cabinet apparently
is backing down on its threat TO
send reinforcements to the French
garrison in Upper Silesia without
regard to the desires of either
Great Britain or Italy.
Great Britain's reply to the
French note giving notice of what
France intended to do was dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting to-
day and was found to be much
warmer than had been expected.
At the conclusion of the afternoon
cabinet meeting no decision had
been reached on the immediate
course of action, which fact was
palpable evidence that France had
decided to make haste with more
deliberation.
The cabinet decided that it would
be well to enter the Supreme Coun-
ell meeting of August and Z, in
sisting, however, that the topic OF
reinforcement be the first business
of the meeting.

from installing a bathtub in the

is the landlord.

Sees Steady Improvement
In Business Through
Relief Measures.
OPTIMISTIC VIEW
ATW WHITE HOUSE
Tells of Governments Co
operation in Assisting
Industry.

Measures of relief for business
and agriculture which have been
inaugurated during the past four
months are regarded by President
Harding as '-an achievement OF
largest Importance to the country"
They assure. it is held. that a
steady Improvement of general
business conditions may be antici-
pated."
Harding states Views.
The views of the President were
contained in an oniciai statement
issued from the White House yes
terday, reciting what has been done.
The accomplishments of the last
four months by various branches of
the government" said the state
ment. "in the direction of relieving
financial conditions. in making pro-
vision for the governments short
dated debt. in assisting both indus
try and agriculture to better mar
kets. and in providing for the fnan-
cial necessities of the railroads
constitute in the aggregate an
achievement of the largest import
ance to the country"
Reduction If discount rates by
the Federal Reserve Board is held
to be probably the most importa nj
development.
Relieve Business stagnation.
This action is calculated to re-
lieve the stagnatfon of business, and
at the same time it gives authori-
tative recognition Of the improve
ment in credit conditions justifying
the policy of reduced rates." the
statement explained. Further re-
ductions are indicated as conditions
warrant.
An improvement in the price OF
Liberty bonds is forecast with the
funding of the short-dated debt, so
1t will mature between 1923 and
1928. The funding policy. 1t is
stated, has successfully been
started.
The activities of the War Finapce
Corporation are credited with hav-
ing helped agriculture-and foreign
trade.
Aids Export Trade.
Its intervention in aid of the ex-
port trade in making advances to
carry American agricultural prod
ucts pending or awaiting export has
been. according to many evidences
received, an inspiring and hearten-
ing factor in the whole agricultural
situation" the statement declared.
The s50,o0O.0o0 pool for relief OF
the livestock industry, and the ac-
tivities of the Federal Farm Loan
banks are also mentioned as hav-
ing been of great benefit.
A settlement with the railroads,
is said to be of Imminent concern
to the entire country, not only be-
cause efficient transportation is vi
tally necessary, but also because
there is a hope for a resumption OF
Industrial activity when the rail-
roads are put in funds and enabled
to begin buying the vast quantities
of material which they need"

TAFT EMPHASIZES
'NTERDEPENDENCE
OF ENTIRE WORLD
Tells Institute of Poll
tics" Collective Bar
gaining Must Come.

wILLIAMSTOwN, Mass, July 20.
a lesson from the re-
suits OF collective bargaining as a
means Of preventing disputes be-
tween classes of people, Chief JUS
tice Taft in his address today be-
fore the Institute of Politics at
Williams College, which has brought
statesmen of Europe and America,
declared that this principle applied
to international dealings would ac-
complish much toward prevention
of wars.
THE greatest obstruction to world
harmony" he declared, "is the mis-
ur 5erstanding and lack of accurate
Information which one nation may
have of the exact situation of the
other.
TT has been found that in indus
trial difficulties collective bargain
ing does much to end controversies
and to smooth out differences, be-
cause collective bargaining offers
the opportunity to each side to
know what the other side is think
ing about. and what really affects
its interests.
Prime Need Is Facts.
"Any legitimate means for bring
ing home to one nation the facts
as to the others situation and its
real interests must make for a more
reasonable compromise and recon-
oiling of the interests of both.
Progress made in any eld of hu-
man activity is dependent upon re-
liable and acurate relevant facts
BY as much as that evidence fails
in accuracy or extent, the def-
ciencies of progress are measured
This institute is to to help perfect
the evidence as to the facts bear
ing upon international relations be-
tween countries.
THE elimination of Germany's
destructive ambitions is great
step forward, but 1t is not every.
thing. A huge task confronts the
world now that victory has been
won. The war has done much tc
change the international mind and
the psychology of the peoples, and
has impressed the whole world as
never before with the Inevitable in.
terdependence of peoples and coun.
tries and with the necessity fol
recognizing and acting upon 1t II
prosperity is to be restored.
Nations Are Interdependent.
Never before in the history OF
this country have-our foreign re-
lations been as important as they
are today. Never before has II
been so clear that our own pros.
perity is dependent upon our re.
lations to other countries and the
maintenance of those relations in 8
friendly state of mutual confidence
Men may differ as to the means BY
which we shall give permanence t
this change of mind and embody d
in normal association with Other
nations, but circumstances are fore.

PRELIMINARY ARMS
PARLEY PROPOSALS
DEAPPROyED HERE
Secret Understandings
On Issues Meet Scant
Favor in u. S.
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

President Harding and Secretary
Of State Hughes will not listen to
pleas from any source that thert
be held a preliminary conference
on reduction of armaments and Far
Eastern problems.
The administration determined
yesterday to take firm stand In
the face of many unofficial reports
emanating particularly from Great
Britain that efforts would be made
to bring about a conference in ad-
vance Of the main conference in
order to accommodate the British
dominion premiers who are greatly
interested in the outcome OF the
discussions.
Want No Secrecy.
The President and his Secretary
of State know that any sort of a
preliminary conference, whether
justly or unjustly. would be re-
garded with suspicion by the world
and particularly by some of the
powers which might not be repre-
sented at the preliminary discus
sion. They insist that nothing shall
occur Setween now and the time
for the conference to be called by
the President which could be con-
strued as an attempt to frame up
an agenda or to determine the
scope of the discussions in secret
Much embarrassment arose al
Versailles over just that thing, the
practice of representatives of some
of the larger powers getting their
heads together and determining
what should be done.
Would Welcome Visits.
Hughes understand the position of
the British premiers. and their in
terest in Far Eastern questions.
They appreciate the difficulties
that confront them in getting to
the United States in November be-
cause of their home affairs and are
willing to do everything that can
be done to accommodate them. The
suggestion has been made that the
British dominion premiers. while
en- route home from England stop
in Washington for informal talks
with the President and Secretary of
State. There would be no objection
| to that.
Free interchanges of ideas are to
be encouraged by the Washington
| government in advance of the con-
ference or anything that the British
premiers want to say will be re-
ceived gladly.
Secrecy to he Avoided.
What the President wants to dc
and proposes to do. now that the
conference is assred, is to discuss
freely with all the powers invited
to participate the agenda for the
conference. That will be done and
in sch way that II of the powers
will know what Is going on.
There will, be no secrets. Sug.
gestions made by one nation will bs
communicated to all the others, and
In this open manner the President
believes a common understanding
regarding the scope of the confer.
ence can be arrived at with a min
| immu of friction and q maximum o.
harmony and mutual good will.

The dominions also are consider
