when these alumni were younger,
in their preparatory school days, they
eagerly looked forward to a college

them for later life. We know that

rapid change.
Not until we get out of the pc.
ntical era can we expect big changes.
While we are in it. let us by all means
have such men as Warren G. Harding.
There's a Difference
"The industrialist has to find out
what the people want and get IL to
them. The politician can still content
himself with finding out what they
think they want and promising It,"
IT shouldn't wonder II industry
would eventually absorb the political
government. But not yet awhile.
These things take time. If there is
some big, silly, utterly useless tri-
bunal installing itself in one Of our
factories, I could dynamite it out
Of there in ten minutes. But suppose
L were PRESIDENT couldn't step out
some Saturday night and fire the Su-
preme Court.
Il certainly couldn't run the Gov.
eminent the way I run my business.
There's a heap of waste in govern
ment. Suppose a motor factory were
organized in forty eight different
squares. with imaginary lines run
ming up and down across the floors
and different rules and different sets
Of officials on each side OF all the i'm.
aginary lines-why, I'll bet cars would
cost a million dollars apiece, ,hav-
ing to manufacture them in any such
way as that. Yet, when we think Of
government, we take 1t for granted
that there must be forty eight States.
And. finally. as to his reasons for
not entering politics. Ford said:
Everywhere I turn on a job and
see something that ought to be done

But there's Harding. When he sees
something that ought to be done
where is he? 1t seems to me that a

Secretary of Commerce Hoover is
the principal target of the angry
Johnsonites. They blame Hoover for

public sympathy for the striker Presi'
dent to turn California against John

Hoover personally is not responsible,

Harding Not Blamed
The fact the speech was released

Harding himself does not in any way
mitigate or alter the case Johnson's
friends declare. They say Mr.. Hard
ing was too i'll to understand the stu
atom and the consequences Of his
action when he decided a controversy
among members Of his official family
about the propriety Of releasing the
speech as a statement to the press.
The President, Johnsons friends says,
was imposed upon.
Because of the Presidents Illness,
comment on his statement probably
will be somewhat restrained. The
document. prepared with great care.
was in brief an argument in favor of
American adhesion to the world court.
Two Years Record
It was pointed out the Administra,
ton in two years activities in foreign
opf og ha1 ayI.
of problems affecting American peace,
financial and other interests abroad
and has contributed greatly toward
peace and stability without a single
instance getting the United States
into an enlargement with old world
politics. This two-year record should
therefore be accepted as evidence Of
the good faith of the Administration in
declaring the American entrance into
the world court Will not prove an en-.
tangling alliance.
The President summed It In this
way:
Our hopeful aspiration is to con-
Il 5ute whatever we can toward the
limitation of the causes OF war. My

had for its purpose the emphasis of

Mr.. Harding further said:
That he would not fight the Senate
for ratification Of the court without
reservation.
Proud of Achievements
That he was proud Of his Admins
tratIon's foreign relations record and
Of the historic services of a great
secretary OF State"
That the washington arms confer
ence was the great outstanding
achievement.
That the conference was not only
a step toward world peace generally,
but had specifically removed appre-
hension of war from the Pacific area.

so would be to perpetuate the ills of
Russia and to encourage a menace to

BIZ United Net1s
NEW YORK, Aug. declaring
the business Of Government in the
United States is still a political and
not an industrial job Henry Ford be-
lieves his usefulness would be wasted
in the White House.
In an exclusive interview published
III the current issue of Golfers, Ford
says:
''I am not playing politics. I am
not a candidate for anything. 1 can't
imagine myself today accepting any
nomination"
Thus, he would seem to dismiss alb
ruptly, talk of his running for Presi-
dent next year. However, he modi-
fees his statement somewhat by ex-
planning one never can tell what he
might do in some emergency.
There might be war, or some
crisis Of the sort, in which legalism
and constitutionalism and all that
wouldn't figure and the Nation wanted
some person who could do things
and do them quick What I would
do then, I can't say. But there isn't
any such situation now" Ford said.
Want Things Too Quickly
Philosophizing upon government,
politics and economics, Ford. in the
interview, concludes the demand of
the people for change is largely the
result of their wanting things done
too quickly.
Maybe it isn't time to do anything
yet," he says. IF that's the case,
the best man for the job is the man
who can be depended upon not to do
anything. I know Mr.. Harding. He
reminds me Of cautious big elephant,
VIII always puts his foot on plank

ahead. That's the type of man to

CAMP KNOX, KY, Aug. Every

allegiance to the United States.
The c. NJ. T. c. body was assembled
on the parade ground and as they
stood in a solid square with their col

Imposing sight.
In front Of them on a raised plat

handing general, General Aultman.
On the ground grouped about the plat
form were all the officers on duty with
the c. NJ. T. c., excepting the COM
pany officers. These were in the ranks
with their companies.
Oath Is Administered.
The occasion was the administra-
ton Of the oath Of allegiance to the

given.

his right hand raised high, repeated

caller politely introduced himself, and

tub, and hopping her face with her
apron, the women replied: "Well, mis-
