plea for American adherence to the

tlce "as the one and only existing
agency of peace TO which we can
safely subscribe without violating the
basic principles of our national being"
Making the first prepared address
of his Western trip, the President
said that to bring about the end he
desired he would gladly wipe out

reconstruction of the machinery of the
international tribunal ito dispose con
cluslvely of all other cited npprehen-
siOns Of danger from the exercise OF
any influence whatsoever. either open
or furtive, by the League of Nations
or by any other organization"
Then anticipating "the voice Of the
dOubter," who might Inquire whether
the forty nations now represented on
the court would consent to these
changes in the structure of the tri-
bunal, Mr.. Harding answered that ito

took pride in pointing out that unem-
ployment had been "banishcd," finan-

Washlngton's farewell address was
taken by the chief executive as his
point Of departure when he turned to

to the court, lie said, squared with the
principles enunciated by Washington,
who recognized the value Of Interna-
