ell gobierno. Las autoridades publi-

linico juez de las medidas que deben
tomarse para mantener ell Orden.
Cierto es que muchos miembros de

gas actuales, no participant en- estOsi
des6rdenes V 'excesos. Los caudillos
obreros afirman que tales incidentes
son inevitables en- toda huelga; pero

por actos de violencia sigue la respon-
sabilidad por la huelga misma. Ade-
mas, ciertos indicios permiten juzgar
que en- lose cfrculOs dirigentes de las

de este modo una de las declaraciones
de ese comite:

blicados por ell DepartamentO de Ira

Tales condolences son, por supuesto,
mucho mas importantes que la cues

damento del orden social y demandan
una actitud resuelta en- defensa de la

riving in the United States gathering

ended shortly before p. m. He
leaned heavily on thel rail as :. he
climbed the stairway to his third floor
apartment in the home Of Charles
Dana Gibson and he did not join the
Gibsons at dinner but had a light
meal sent to his room.
Arising early today, he seemed re-
freshed and eager for the coming Of
evening and the first OF the messages
he crossed the Atlantic ocean to give
to America.
Friends have warned him to speak
no longer than an hour, but he has
given no indication that he intends to
follow this injunction.
Speaking without notes, as he will,
Clemenceau may talk for two hours
II he finds an interested audience and
is able to make himself understood
in the great auditorium of the Metro
politan opera house.
Nothing else was planned for the
Tiger today. He was expected to re-
main at the Gibson home resting and
working on tonight's address.

PRESIDENTS
ADDRESS TO
US. CONGRESS

'Washi ngton. Nov. 21.-The text of
President Harding's address to con-
gres follows, in part:
Members of Congress-:
Late last February 1 reported to
you relative to the American merchant
manine, and recommended legislation
which the executive branch of the
government deemed essential to
promote our merchant marine and
with 1t our national welfare. Other
pr oblenls were pressing and other
questions pending, and for one reason
or another. which need not be. .rectt-
cd, the ailEg estsd lagtsSs.ttorl alew ttut
progressed beyond favorable rec
.omm endation by the house commit
tee. The committee has given the
question full and painstaking In
Quiry and study, and l hope that it's
favorable report speedily will be CIV
en- the force of law.
1t will be helpful in clearing the
atmosphere as we started with the
frank recognition of divided opinion
and determined opposition. 1t is no
new experience. Like proposals have
divided the congress on various pre-
vious occasions. Perhaps a more res
olute hostility never was manifest be-
fore, and l am very sure the need
for decisive action-decisive, favorable
actdon-neEer was 80 urgent before.
Not Founded on Theory.
We are not dealing with q policy
founded on theory, we have a prob
lem which is one of grim actuality.
We are facing insistent conditions,
out of which will come either addi-
tional and staggering government
losses and national impotence on the
seas or else the unfurling Of the flag
on great American merchant ma
r.ine commensurate with our COM
mercial Importance, to serve as car
rier Of our cargoes in peace and meet
the necessities of our defense in war,
There is no Thought here and now
to magnify the relation of a mercha mt
marine to our national defense. 1t
Is enough to recall that we entered
,, the world war almost wholly derend-
ent on our allies for transportation
