Reading, Pa.-Prcsldent Harding, In
letter read at the annual dinner of
the Reading Chamber Of Commerce,
declared that the American people
have every reason to cultivate the
most intelligent understanding and
definite opinions regarding affairs
which involve our relations to the rest
Of the world Declaring he had been
informed that the chamber was ito
consider the conference on limitation
Of armament and Its various implica-
tions In relation to our country and to
the International relationships Of the
world he added.
1T is a deep satisfaction to note the
active interest which organizations
such 40 your own are taking in these
issues. We have MS people every
reason to cultivate the most intelligent
understanding and definite, informed
opinions regarding affairs which in
volve our relations to the world.
I'm the past we have not been under
the necessity to devote much special
lied attention to these; but In the
present state of the world your public
servants will find themselves encour-
aged and supported In their efforts
along these lines IL they note devel-
oping cooperation and interest among
the people.
so am glad Of opportunity to
point out to group Of influential
Americans that the conference, though
Its labors are not yet complete, has re-
corded great accomplishment in put
ting definite end to costly naval
competition and In the prohibitions re-
garding certain inhuman methods of
warfare, l feel confident that no OBJ
stacles will be placed In the way Of
just agreements affecting principles
and policies In the Orient while the
pact that has been negotiated relating
to the Pacific region contains guaran-
tees Of the utmost value for future
peace In that area.
"Inasmuch as determination Of some
of these elemental poritical relation.
ships Is a vital preliminary to the
great task Of economic rehabilitation
throughout the world It is gratifying
to feel most hopeful that the settle
ments finally to be arrived at In Wash
ington will be helpful In aiding that
economic restoration which Is so es-
sential to the good fortuue Of all peo.
