WORLD GOSPEL Is
 HARDlNG'S THEME
President Urges Better Under
 standing Between All Peoples

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 2s.-A gospel of understanding and good will, not only binding north and south, in closer union but also bringing All the na- tions of the world into cooperation and enduring amity, WIS preached by President, Harding yesterday in an ad- dress here outlining some of his con- captions of the coming armament con- ference. r
 Speaking at the statue of Henry w. Grady. southern apostle of national reunion, the presiden declared Am erica would enter the conference so imbued with the desire for interna- tional friendship that the. blame must rest elsewhere should the negotiations for reduction of armament result in failure.
 To Plead With World.
 As Grady counselled reconciliation tor a war-torn nation said MT. Hard ing, so would the United States plead that a disrupted world turn into the paths of peace to seek salvation. Such a leadership, he added was possible without jeopardy to national safety or reversal of the established traditions of the republic.
 1T believe it wholly consistent the president said, ito preach peace and it's triumphs in that convincing sim cerity which an unselfish nation com mands and yet make sure about our pr6per defense.
 Man Wants to Try.
 "Manifestly, mankind is disposed to try that experiment. Ii trying, it, na- tions shall fail; it will be no fault of the United States of America. We are ready to offer a helping hand in the new path. We have rendered our in vitaion and the cordial acceptance which has come from every quarter leads to earnest hope of good results. We Americans have learned the les son, on both the national and world scale. We fought our war of sections and systems and decided forever in favor of peace and unity. Our own experience has taught us that we may hope that like decision will be reach ed by a world reasoning amid the con- victions which follow in tlle wake of tragedy supreme.
 With his praise of Grady the presi- dent coupled tribute to Theodore Roosevelt of whose Georgia lineage he declared the whole south hould be proud. The, address follows in part:
 IiSdIt Oi Hc f9ubth.
 ITO come to Georgia is to come to the heart of the south. To come to Georgia, on this, of all days of the year-the birthday of Roosevelt--is to realize that the heart Of ;he south throhs for all the nation. To the mak- ing of that typical American of the new era went equally the warmer strains of the old south and sturdy stock ithat gave the nation it's empire state.
 "It has seemed to me, many times in the period since the world war ended, that the world at large might well let us show the marvel which was wrought through q reunited and restored America. Because there was the will to get down to work, to cease repining and regrets, we have among us erected high out of the wrec ckacc that our war wrought a country in which we may ,fitly take the pride which every American feels.
 Peace, Universal Desire.
 'I believe. for instance, that every family which has lost member in the struggle to save mankind from ab- solutism; every citizen soldier who has given years and sllfferfngs to that cause; every gold star mother or maimed veteran, will agree that peace is preferable to war, and that to train a world in the ways of peace is bet ter than to prepare it for war.
