LdHCdSleF, N. IL, Aug. 4.-COnll-
dence that American institutions
lare more firmly implanted than
| ever before and that in the near
future Americas example will lead
lall the nations to permanent peace,
was expressed by President Hard
ing today in an address at a well
come demonstration in Lancaster.
The coming disarmament con-
gress, the president said, gave
promise of an international agree-
ment that would end ware and turn
the attention of mankind to con-
structive and beneficial pursuits"
He asked for the support of the
American people in the govern

Speaks From Automobile.
The presidents speech was de-
livered from his automobile in
Continental square here to crowd
of several thousand who had come
to bid him welcome to the White
mountain country, He was cheered
many times while he was speaking
and after he concluded the crowd
broke police lines to crowd about
him and shake his hand.
To-day l stood on Mount Pros
pect and saw a wonderful picture"
said the president. 'In some of
the valleys there were clouds and
lsigrs CT Storm tedimming our vis-
ion, but above the peaks rose
iserene and untroubled. And while
| gazed my mind turned to the at
fairs of men and l said, with some
comfort to myself, and though the
clouds may be dim we need not
lose confidence, for I believe with
all my heart that no matter what
bedims the picture, we of America
have a God given destiny to per-
form which nothing on earth will
ever prevent.
U, S. Leads the World,
In a centlry and a third we of
the United States have outstrippe1
every record CT civilization in the
history Of this world. This republic
which i.1I It's beginning in little
group of colonies now is conceded
the leadership OF the world.
THO stcry or the world is one
stage after anL ther of de,A.op1nS
warfare until we of this genera
tion have witnessed the most gigan-
tic conflict of all time. The cost of
the conflict was so great that we
are coming to have a consciousness
and determination that the whole
development has been wrong and
that acquisition by might is unjust.
Warfare Ought To End,
I'VE Of this country and all the
World are resolved today that war
Iafe ought to come to an end
I'm happy 70 bring you word
ina your government is doing all
III can to have a conference Mt
winch The representatives of the
nations can look each other In the
eve and work together for a way to
remove the causes of war and put
an end to costly armament, / be. |
lieve we shall succeed.
Referring to his conferences at |
washington with leaders of various
national groups, the president as
serted that his contact with these |
men had deepened his confidence |
in the soundness Of American pub |
lie opinion. He told how he had |
received a letter suggesting that |
he "behead" all those who had
more than their share of wealth |
and continued;
II have never believed that to |
be the mission of this republic. II
wonder what wealth Is; like to
think of the leader In the COM
munity, of the man to whom those
about him turn for counsel and
advice. That's the great man of !
America no matter how you meas
ure his wealth.
Government Is Alert.
In the past few weeks I have
had an opportunity to meet many
such leaders-leaders of capital. of
labor and of the other groups thar
make up the nation. And I want
to say to you that there isn't one
In any group who deep in his heart
doesn't want to preserve our
America and continue its onward
course. Those who are suspected
most sometimes are the most gen.
erous of all in their tenders of help
to those in authority.
Sometimes you think your gov
ernment is not alert, but let me
tell you-and care not what party
Is In power--your government is
always trying to serve you as best
1t. can. 1t can't be told everything
that's going on--that is not a prac-
teal plan--but 1t is fair to you to
tell you that your public servants
are honestly and to the best of Il
their ability. trying to promote the
fortunes of our common country"
