HARDING HAILED
FOR OPPOSITION
TO BONUS BILL
Princeton Dean Cites His
Quiet Courage and I'm
mense Patience
HONORARY DEGREE
l.. l.. D. Bestowed on President Who
Urges Students to Serve Their Com
munities.

Princeton, n. j., June 10.-Presi-
dent Harding dedicated monument
to the achievements of George Wash
ington in Princeton yesterday and
heard himself hailed as man OF
"auiet courage" and "immense patti
ence and self-effacing modesty" IN
his own policies toward current and
controversial political issues.
The words came from Dean West,
who used them in mention of the
Presidents stand against the Veter-
ans bonus and his votes for anti
strike laws as a Senator, as he re
cited the reasons which induced
Princeton University to give the
President an honorary degree OF doc
tor of laws.
Twice the stimulus of intent audi
ence caused President Harding TO
break away from prepared manuscript
in speechmaking.
Before the Princeton student body,
stirred evidently by the high praise
of the citation of himself, he almost
disregarded preparations to lay down
some standards of valuation OF men,
az care not what position man may
momentarily be in" he exclaimed, you
can measure his standard of useful
ness to America by the service ne rem
ders the community in which ne re-
sides.
LESS than a century and half has
this repSblic endured. The founding
fathers who gave us America no more
dreamed of what 125 years would
bring than we today can dream OIL the
possibilities of the future.
"When I realize what hes happened
in, that time I dare not lift the, cup OF
optimism to lips. There are such Inn
itless possibilities; we have seen such
incompatible contributions to man
kinds paogress in our generation. we
can little imagine what time will bring.
Gatherings of Princeton's student
body for the Presidents visit. hlstor-
iral references to George Washington's
famous Jersey campaign against the
British and Hessians and military pa
geantry supplied by troops in Revoiu-
tionarv dress uniform and detach-
ment from the Fifth Maryland Regl-
ment in the historic gray and white
marked the day.
President Hibben told the audience
at Nassau Hall. where the degree was
granted. that the building itself was
the barracks from which Washlngton's
Continentals drove British regulars
in the Princeton battle. Dean West,
however. was up to the moment in cur
rent politics in hailing the President.

The State Department today de-
scribed the recent indiscretion of Am
bassador Ricci, of Italy, in engaging
in newspaper controversy directly
with Senator Watson, of Indiana, as
"closed incident. No other comment
was made by the Department and all
questions in regard to the matter were
met with a refusal to answer.
However, Signor Ricci leaves for his
home on Monday for an extended va
cation and the general impression here
is that he will not return to Washing
ton. This. it is understood, will be
an easy way out of the dilemma for all
concerned. inasmuch as the United
States will be spared the embarrass-
ment of a public rebuke for the Am
bassador and the Italian government
will be spared the necessity of pub
lie apology for the indiscretion of its
Ambassador.
