eff European nations would
heed the lesson conveyed by
Canada and the United States
they would strike at the root of
their own continuing disagree
ments and in their prosperity
forget to inveigh constantly at
ours" President Harding as
serted here today in the first
speech of an American President
in official capacity on Canadian
soil.
He spoke before a distinguished
company Of high officials of the do
nninion government.
Public VIII, Not Force"
1T is the publis will. not force,
that makes for enduring peace"
Harding continued. land 1t is not a

century under dierentff flags 10 pre-
sent this most striking example pro-
duced OF the basic fact that peace can
always be kept, whatever be the
4 grounds Of controversy between
j peoples that wish to keep it,
Europe should not be reproached
for its resentment or envy against the
fortunate countries Of North Ameri-
ca" the president said.
Father should we sympathize with
their seeming inability to break the
shackles OF age-long methods an re-
toice in our own rfative freedom
from the stultifying effects Of old
world customs aud practices.
What an object lesson of peace Is
shown today by our two countries to
all the world. Only a scrap of paper.
recording hardly more than a simple
understanding. safeguards lives and
properties on the Great Lakes and
only humble mileposts mark the in
violable boundary line for thousands
OF miles through farm and forest. Our
protection Is in our fraternity, our
arrnor IS our faith and the tie that
binds more firmly year by year is an
ever increasing acquaintance and
comradeship through interchange of
citizens. The compact Is not OF perish
able parchment, but of fair and hon.
CRADLE dealings. which God grant shall
continue for all time"
Praises COuntry's Credit
Harding referred to constant ex-
change of citizens between the two
countries and said that the fact that
two billion five hundred millions of
American money have been invested
since the armistice in Canadian Sc
curities is a tribute to scrupulous
maintenance of Canadian credits "to
a degree equalled only by your mother
country across the sea and your sis.
ter country across the hardly visible
y border"
d He spoke Of the ancient bugaboo of
American annexation of Canada as
having died, saying I'VE have troubles
enough of our own now" and
facetiously advised Canada not to con-
slider plans to annex the United
States.
Let US go our own gait along par
allel roads, you helping US and we
helping you," he said. "As long as
each country maintains it's inde-
pendence and both recognize their
fnter-dependence. these paths cannot
fail to be highways Of progress and
prosperity.
