clared he was determined not to i'm
pose my will upon any body or any
body"
The President concluded his address
at 9:27 o'clock without having de-
parted. except in two minor instances,
from his prepared address.
Voice -amplifying apparatus carried
the Presidents voice to all parts of
the big hall, which holds 10000. Ra-
dio instruments also picked up the
speakers words and conveyed them
over large section of the middle
west.
Reference to savings through the
budget system drew applause.
Cheering and shouts greeted the
Presidents first reference to the
world court and there was additional
applause when he pronounced against
"a league court" The statement that

the league of nations got applause.
but the assertion that ''the issue of
the league of nations Is as dead as
slavery, was passed over by the au-
dience.
Speaking to the annual convention
of the International Rotary, the Pres
ident declared that If he could found
Rotary in every community through
out the world he would do so and

a forward march for the universe.

governments have theirs" the Pres
ident continued, but if you could
plant the spirit of Rotary throughout
the world and turn 1t to practical ap-
plication. there would not be much
wrong with the human procession.

you, fellow Rotarians, no matter
whence you come, service is the
greatest thing in the world. 80 And
the thing that the world needs today
more than anything else is to under
stand that only service will make the
restoration that came out of the tu-
multuous world war. If we can all
get down to service, humble service,
honest service. helpful service. the
things that humanity must do to
make the recovery, then there will
come out of the great dependency

the world a new order, and. some day
when we acclaim it. I fancy shall

not try to pass upon the political
expediency of this. Mr.. President. but
this is what America ought to do in
foreign policy
The Presidents speech at ST. Louis
is an effort to heal the sores devel-
oped by the original proposal of the
world court. Mr. Harding says
frankly that he would like to have
America enter the court and choose
judges as at present. but he is will
ing to propose a new method of Sc
lection so as to harmoniZe domestic
differences in America. The question
naturally arises as to what necessity
prompted Mr.. Harding to make the
suggestion at this time. when noses
have not been counted in the Senate
and there has been no showdown.
The answer Is that Mr.. Harding t~-s
he might get the two-thirds vote nec-
sary to ratify the world court proto-
col only by a coalition of democrats
and republicans-in other words, by
a split in the republican party.
Mr.. Harding would prefer united
republican party on the world court
plus such democratic strength as he
can muster. But his st. Louis speech
will drive away the democrats who
had planned to support him and will
revive the old lines Of warfare over
the league of nations.
The move toward party harmony is
a united party means certain renomi-
nation next June and better chance
of victory in the subsequent election.
Whenever the republican party is
united it's momentum carries 1T to
victory-that's the tradition upon
brought up in politics.
Insists Position Same.
The President insists that he has
not advanced or retreated. He says
this knowing, of course. that the
critics will not agree with him. but
will construe his proposal as re-
treat into the bosom of Chairman
committee and into the arms of the
"irreconcilabies." Yet Mr.. Harding
concefves his position in the republi-
can party to be mediator and not die
tator. He feels he is not in the dis
pute between the Senate and \the
other foreign governments-he is
merely the referee or umpire sug
gesting means of reconciliation. He,
proposes. indeed, the unprecedented
course of getting the Senate to agree
to an International agreement before
even initiating negotiations with
other powers to learn whether they
accept.
This upshot of it all is delay on the
world court and a readiness on the part
of President Harding to make peace

the matter for the time being.

DEMANDS NEW METHOD.
President Suggests Two Systems
for Judges Selection.

BY the Associa led Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 22.-The sug-
gestion that reconstruction of the
creative machinery of the Permanent
Court of International Justice be
made a condition to American adhe-
sion to the tribunal was before the
country and before the world today
as the result of the pronouncement
made by President Harding here last
night In the first formal address of
his western trip.
The ears of members of the presi-
Dental party. which left here shortly
after midnight for Kansas City, were
home and abroad to the President s
suggestion, surprisingly enunciated.
The audience to which the President
directly spoke received the proposal
reaction was impossible Of ascer-
tainment.
The suggestion as made by the
chief executive was put forward. he
said. Ito dispose conclusively OF all
other cited apprehensions Of danger
from the exercise of any influence
whatsoever. either open or furtive,
by the league of nations or by any
other organization"
The main features of the recon-
struction as proposed by Mr.. Harding
to accomplish this purpose, are:
First, that the world court be en-
powered to fill any vacancy arising
from the deather of a member or re-
tirement, without interposition from
any other body
Let Court Name Judges.
Second, that the existing authority
of the permanent court of arbitra-
tion to nominate judges be continued
and that the power to elect judges
be transferred from the council and
assembly of the league of nations
to the remaining members of the
court.
Such changes, combined with minor
alterations also set forth. the Presi-
dent was indicated as hoping, would
tend to wipe out factional differences
over the world court issue.
The Presidents suggestion for re-
construction of the creative machin-
cry of the court was listened to at
tentively by the audience, sweltering
in the hot hall.
After presenting his suggestions.
Mr. Harding departed from his pre-
pared address to say that in the
case of the world court proposal the
usual course had been reversed in
that the executive had presented the
matter first to the Senate instead Of
negotiating an agreement first and
laying 1t before the senate as a Sec
ond step.
