It is understood that in a message to Congress President Harding declares himself in favour of peace by congressional resolution and irrevocably turns his back on the present League of Nations, indicating that." TEIRESIAS” the United Sates will not become a party to any such military alliance as the League proposes. Republican leaders in Congress state that Senator! Knox introduces his peace resolution in a day or two with the addition of a declaration that if the 'world's peace is again threatened the United States will act as she did in the recent war,
PROPOSED WORLD ASSOCIATION.
3.
LATER,"
The text of President Harding's message to Congress reveals that be approved the termination of the technical state of war against the Central Powers of Europe by resolution of Congress with qualifications essential to protect, all United States rights. The President has definitely declared that the United States will not join the existing League of Nations, but added in making this announcement to the world: "We in nowise surrender our aim for an association to promote peace in which we would most heartily join. He was considering the matter and hoped to be able to work out a plan for such an association. President Harding wished to eliminate the heavy burdens of armaments. He said that the United States was ready to co-operate with other nations to this end but the merest, predence forbade the United States to disarm aloce.
NO DESERTION,
The Lighest purpose of the League of Nations was defeated in linking it with the treaty of peace making it an enforcing agency of the victors of the war. "A resolution of Congress declaring a separate peace can in nowise be interpreted as a desertion from those with whom we shared the sacrifices of the war but we must place no difficulty in the way of effecting with just reparations that restoration for which all Europe yearns. Our
tar and the attitude regarding responsibility for the
necessity for just reparations has already had formal and earnest expression." While approving the resolution of Congress declaring a state of peace, President Harding declares it impossible to ignore the settlements already effected "It would be wiser to accept confirmation of our rights.and | interests already provided under the existing treaty with reservations secur- ing absolute freedom from inadvisable commitments. Our part in readjust. ment and restoration cannot be ignored and' with the League of Nations definitely rejected we may proceed to negotiate, the covenanted relation- ships essential to recognition of our rights.
RIGOROUS PROTECTION.
WASHINGTON, April 12.
In the course of his speech President Harding emphasised the Decessity of enacting emergency tariff legislation based on a policy of rigorous protection. He advocated the encouragement and extension of American | owned and operated cables and wireless plants in the interest of American merchants.
