On the Daugherty Statement.
| Not a word was said or implied con,
corning the announcement made at
Miami Beach by Attorney General
Daugherty who on the occasion of the
Presidents visit there called the News-
papermcn and told them he believed
Mr.. Harding would be renOminated
and reelected. 1t was this announce
ment which led the newspapcrmen TO
revive the subject OF presidential poll
ties at this early date, but there again
one is not justified in interpreting the
Presidents observations as n rebuke
to his attorney general, for the latter
insists now that he did not intend so
much significance to be attached to
his utterance. He did tell the scribes
at Miami that he wasn't talking for
the President and he went further a
day or 80 later and said he hadn't even
discussed the question of n newspaper
statement with the Chief Executive.
His whole object was to squelch boom
lets OF wOuld-bc-nominees in opposi-
tlOn 10 MT. harulng.
The practical result has been to no.
tify Republicans everywhere that Mr..
Harding is in the lists and that no OPP
position need be drummed up on the
theory that he will voluntarily retire
because of fatigue and all that sort of
thing which has been the ostensible
justification for some of the booms.
But when Mr.. Harding contemplated
the effect of the newspaper discussion
which was to make of him an active
candidate thirteen months before the
Republican national convention is
scheduled to meet. he determined in
some way to offset that impression
and to do it on the first occasion that
presented itself. Some of his advisers
and some of the editorials in the press
have presented the view that irrespec-
tive of Mr.. Daugherty's intent the eff
feet of his action has been TO plunge
Mr.. Harding into his campaign for re-
nomination at once. The President is
publicly taking the position that the
newspapers have made of the Miami
incident too much and that they are
embarrassing him with talk of politics
while he is anxious to complete his
presidential task. Wise old politicians
will say irrespective of the merits of
the case that both Mr.. Harding and
Mr. Daugherty are proceeding strategi-
cally. the one squelching the opposing
candidates and the other modestly
thrdsting the crown aside till the prop
er time for such things.

Impressions Remarks Gave.
First. That the President has the

history. but the question of Mr.. Las

had not been discussed with him or
anybody else.
Second. That the President wanted

believed the conflict between the De-

Of Agriculture was such that admins

AIR ROUTE BETWEEN
u. S. AND CHINA TO
REQUIRE IS HOURS
Cost Will Be About 5000
Per Passenger, Air
Official Says.

Philadelphia. April 12.-An air
route between New York and Peking,
China, has been organized which will
make possible a trip by passenger air
plane in 60 hours, Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell, assistant chief of the
United States Army Air Service, yes
terday told the Philadelphia Cham
Der of Commerce.
The cost, he said, would be about
S2100 passenger
General Mitchell said that he had
just organized the route and that the
time was not far off when the trip
would be made in four stops, the first
in Winnipeg, and the next in Nome,
Alaska.
"The service will present no more
hazard" he said, "than any other
means of transportation and we hope
that there vii, be reduction in costs
as the experiments progress.
General Mitchell declared that the
:eccnt inspection air trip across the
American continent, covering 5000
miles. had demonstrated that a defi-
mite schedule Of 81 hours could be
maintained between the Atlantic sea-
board and the Pacific coast.
I'VE can operate 400 miles away
from any aerodome and could do

serted.

SPEAKS ABOUT TOUR

SPEAKS ABOUT TOUR
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. C.. April 12-Pres-
ident Harding has made a determined
effort to get back to the American peo-
pie in the role of their chief executive
instead of prospective candidate for
denomination in 1924. He places the
blame for the latter impression on the
newspapers and not on Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty's announcement at
Miami to which the press attached so
much significance. The President took
advantage of the first opportunity to
address the corps of Washington cor
espondents-nearly 80 of them went
TO the White House to hear his re-
marks-and while nothing that he said
can be quoted directly, he left the
newspapermen with definite thoughts
which he was not averse to their max
ing plain to the country.
As per custom, the correspondents
had handed in written questions as
they filed into the room and it was
apparent when the President picked
up the first query on the subject of
politics that he had made up his mind
to say something 70 offset the stories
which had been circulated during his
vacation trip.
The question asked Of Mr.. Harding
was whether he intended to have
Chairman Lasker of the United States
shipping board who is to resign the
middle Of June, become manager of the
1924 campaign. This was the cue. 1t
was provoked by a recent newspaper
story to thataeffect. The conversation

lars: that he believed in direct contact
by administrative officials and believed
it was his real duty to go to Alaska.
Third. That any trip to Alaska
necessarily involved a trans-continen-
tai journey and any journey of that
kind inevitably required the making
of a few remarks en- route-speeches
under those circumstances are unavoid-
able. but that he wouldn't 90 to Alaska
or across the Continent if the news
papers insisted on making of him a
candidate for office: that he had
big work to do. and he felt committed
to his presidential tasks and ought not
to be thrust into the role of a candi-
date and that President should have
at least three years uninterrupted by
that sort of thing. and that now was
not the time TO talk politics. so If he
could go to Alaska without political
embassassments along the way. he
would make few speeches and discuss
in a non-partisan way some of the inn
portant problems before the country.
