CABINET TELLS
OF GREAT LOSS
Members Say Harding Died as
Result of His Unselfish
Attention to Duty.
SOUGHT TO END BITTERNESS
Secretary Hoover Pays Beautiful
Tribute to Character and Ability
OF Late Chief-Praise by
Daugherty.

San Francisco, CAL, AugSs4 .-Presi-
dent Harding's collapse was ascribed
by Secretary Hoover to his generous
and unselfsh" outpouring of service
and the application at all times Of
"geniality and good will to his ire
mendous tasks"
''The Almighty has taken the Presi-
dent from his work. Mr.. Hoover said.
"There is loss to the nation of a great
leader and to many thousands be-
loved personal friend. At my first
meeting with him during the war his
greeting was, 'Neighbor, / want to be
helpful Be helpful to his neighbor
was Warren Harding's IDEAL He en-
visaged the whole American people as
homefolks and neighbors. He loved to
think and talk on what made good
neighbors. He liked to feel of Amer
lea as a good neighbor in the world.
HE came to the presidency with
the burden of reconstruction; in a
time Of high national emotion, of bit
ter prejudice, of deep conflict in
thought, of unparalleled dislocation of
economic life, of unemployment. 1t
was his determination to soften anger
and to secure progress and healing
through helpfulness and patient con-
Citation.
HE felt deeply that hard driving
would open unbeatable breaches
among our people. He applied genial
ity and good will to his tremendous
tasks in a way that amounted to
genius. But underneath was resolute
moral courage and steadfastness. He
was the man needed for our times.
He became the rallying point of con-
structive forces in our country"
Statements also were issued by the
other cabinet officer That of Attor-
ney General Daugherty said:
my personal relations with the late
President, aside from my official asso-
citation, were such, and my admiration
and deep affection for this distin-
guished man so great, that, for the
present at least. / know will be ex-
cused from saying more than this"
"a loyal friend, loving husband, a
great President has been summoned, .
said Secretary Work. "Since the
death of Lincoln, our nation has not
lost so powerful a factor for safety.
1t is true, of course that in all ma
tional crises, a great leader has been
brought forward. Such men were not
self-proclaimed, but a providence
sought them out for a distressed peo-
pie, as President Harding was found
for u.s.
