But a great change has taken
place, vitality influencing the work of

longer influenced by war stress or

change has come about unawares,
and as molderS OF public opinion you
have ignored the fundamental rea-

system, the rule OF the primary. tho
drift toward pure democracy. and the
growing simpotence Of political par

representative system we have
reached point where the lack Of
party loyalty has made party spon-

than 1t was. We have come to the
time when a party platform is re-
garded by too many men in public
life as even less important than a
scrap of paper, and groups or blocs

Harding Statement of Shipping
Policy Regarded Significant

President Harding's statement in
regard to the merchant marine in his
address today at the luncheon of the
Associated Press in New York was
regarded here as of tremendous sig
nificance.
The President. it was pointed out,
indicated clearly that the govern
ment was prepared to go ahead with
the operation of American merchant
vessels now owned by it, provided
they cannot be sold with a distinct
understanding they are to be op-
Grated over routes and under the
American flag.
"Confessedly," said the President,
this is q contradiction OF the pro-
posal to have less government in
business and more business in gov
eminent, but If we cannot get out of
the shipping business in a practical
way and be assured of privately
owned and privately operated ship

ernment to conserve our shipping as

NEW YORK. April 24.-President
Harding, appearing at the annual lunch
con OF the Associated Press today, was
introduced by Frank b. Noyes, presi-
dent Of the news organization, who
said:
over our annual luncheon last year
/ have spent most of my time in a
trip around the world in an effort
to study at first hand the news con-
ditions in the far east. In my
journeyings l was met everywhere
with really remarkable cordiaIity
and hospitality.
"Some part of this welcome was
due to old friendships, some to the
delightful personality of those who
accompanied me, some, i think, to the
marked brevity that characteriZes
such speeches l felt obliged to
make; but, all this being said truth
also compels me to say that the con-
spicuous feature of my welcome was
an evident desire in each country that
visited to honor through me the Asso-
ciated Press.
Pride Increased.
II left America feeling very proud
of our organization, and 1 come back
with an even greater pride. Generous
as was the praise showered on the
Associated Press as the foremost

Because the administration shipping
bill was not passed by Congress, the
President said, was no reason for the
administrators dumping the Ameri

heap. in a fit of pique.

avoidance of like extravagant and

taken as a warning to shipping in

which gives to veterans of the World

all other citizens for 80 days to enter
any public or Indian lands which are
opened or restored to entry In the fu-

land are withdrawn for classification,
included in Indian, forest and other
reservations or Withdrawals, and from
time to time as the lands are classi-
fed, or the purpose for which the
withdrawal was made has been served,
these lands are restored to the public
domain. On all such lands the sol
diers have this preference right of en-
try for 80 days. The lands that are
restored range in character from the
valuable irrigated lands to the less
valuable but larger acreages, suitable
for stock raising, homestead entry and
