from the interests of those with whom
we had been associated in the war
Within few months the treaties were
negotiated and ratified with Germany
and Austria and Hungary and peaceful
relations resumed.
eve have given the best of our CO.
operation. In the Far East there is q
new atmosphere of mutual respect and
confidence instead of suspicion and ap-
prehension. We were highly privileged
to be able to promote the settlement
OF the Shantung controversy between
China and Japan, We have stopped
the competition in naval armament,
bringing the great powers together in
the happiest cooperation that has
taken place since the war. In Latin
America we have been constantly en-
deavoring TO facilitate stability and
peaceful adjustments. In almost every
country American money is being in
vested to help productive enterprise.
Throughout the world it is recognized
We have simple direct policies of
equality of opportunity and mainte-
nance of American rights. 1t is recog-
nized that Americas policy in seeking
to conserve our own interests is not
endeayoring to exploit others.
House Put in Order
"Thus we are putting our house in
order, reducing expenses, stopping
wastefui outlays, maintaining sound
principles of international intercourse.
We are desirous to aid in every proper
way in the economie recuperation of
Europe, but we cannot do fof Europe
what is wholly within European con-
troll and Europe must do for itself.
"How have the benefcient results to
which l have referred been obtained? :?
By singleness and infeXibility of pur-
lose. When the Washington confer
ence was called it was at once de-
manded that We should make the vain
endeavor 10 reform the world. We
thought our task as defined in the call
of the conference quite sufficient and
had we not thought so il would not
have been accomplished in such large
measure. You cannot get anywhere
unless you begin somewhere. What
ever we have attempted our friends in
opposition have insisted that we should
do something else involving ourselves
i'll fruitless controversies. That has
been their mistake, and bue for that
mistake large part Of our troubles
would never have come upon us.
Government is not an inpersonal
matter. 1t is not government of men,
but 1T Is government through men,
The explanation of the success of the
Administration, is, first, that you have
had the high-minded, sagacious leader
ship Of Warren G. Harding, the Presi-
dent of the United States. The hard.
est thing in administrator is to stop
waste and secure economy. You can
-sao5e,do this ualess the head of the
government supplies tho driving force
Under this Administration that power
has been supplied increasingly, and
there can be no higher tribute paid to
the President than lies in the fact that
against every sort Of appeal and every
insidious influence he has insisted
upon the reduction of governmental
outlays and has succeeded in the most
difficult task that could have fallen to
the lot Of an Executive. You have had
his cooperation with Congress and the
cooperation of Congress with him in
abundant measure.
Frelinghuysen Praised
Sand then there has been the con-
stant and faithful cooperation of
public servants, such as has been given
by Senator Frelinghuysen, whose can
didacy is before you. His experience
in affairs, indefatigability and intimate
knowledge of what American pros
perity demands has been of the great
est aid to the Administration. He is
energy personified, and his intelligent
industry has been unremitting.
Administration under our form of
government is not successfully repre-
sented by the single man ia armor
challenging to battle all other depart
ments of government. He is repre-
sented by the leader in cooperative
effort, and as we pay our just tribute
Of appreciation and esteem to the
leadership of the President, so we in
vite confidence in those who have
faithfully worked with him and made
