PRESIDENT HARDING'S INAUGURAL
ADDRESS.
LONDON, March 4th. Mr. Harding was inaugurated in the Capitol at Washington. to-day, as the twenty-ninth President of the United States.
WASHINGTON, March 4th. President Harding, in bis inaugural | address, said that the progress of the United States proved the wisdom of the inherited policy of not being involved in the affairs of the Old World.
The new administration.
tion, he said, did not intend to become entangled in those affairs. The United States cannob become a party
Forld
to any permament military alliance, nor asmme any foreign economie obligations Nevertheless, the United States was ready to confer with the nations of the with a view to recommending a way of almost complete disarmament
He fav oured the creation of a world count for the settlement of justiceable questions, which the nations agree to submit to it but "every commitment of the United States must be made in the "exercise of national sovereignty."
The Caited States, in the new order, will finance trade and meant to promote enlarged activities and seck expanded confidence As regards our supreme
no

task," President Harding said, shall give no
no people a just cause to make war on 15. We hold no national pre- judices, entertain
of spirit revenge, do not hate, covet, nor dread conquest and do not boast of armed prowess, but if war is again forced on us we earnestly hope a way will be found to unify our individual and collective strength and to consecrate all America, materially and
to national defence.”. Harding advocated the protes tion of industries, saying that higher production costs must be reflected in our tariffs to-day as never before when import peoples are seeking trade resteration and expansion. Our tariffs must be adjusted
in the new order. We cannot sell ane- cessfully unless we carry, and opportuni. ties in the new era in production, trans- portation and trade will best be seized by carrying cargoes in American bottoms to the markets of the world."
SHIPPING CRISIS.
LONDON, March 4th.
A shipping crisis is threatened owing to the shipowners proposing a reduction of pay to officers and sesmen by about 5, bringing the seamen's wages to £10. as compared with 23 before the war, and the wages of stowards on passenger ships te £8 s. 4d, as compared with £3 105

owners contend that economies in working only means avoid- ing laying up much more tonnage and causing much unemployment.
WASHINGTON, March 4th The Shipping Board, in s report" to the Senate, declares that the agreement between the International Mercantile Marine Corporation and the British Ad- miralty, requiring the
the corporation to operate ships without injuring British commerce, is inimical to the policy of velopment of its trade and commerce and the United States in respect of the de At Variance with the letter and spirit of the Merchant, Marine Act of 1920.
