Main Points Of
Harding's Message
President Harding's principal rec
ommendations to Congress, in his
first annual address delivered Tues
day, included the following, as giv
en' bv the Associated Press.
Foreign relations No separate
peace with Germany "on the assump
tion alone that this would be ade
quate." "The wiser course would
eeem to be to engage under
the existing treaty, assuming, of
course, that this can be satisfactorily
accomplished by such explicit reser
vations and modifications as will se
cure our absolute freedom of inadvis
able commitments and safeguard all
our essential interests. No
helpful society of nations can be
founded on justice and committed to
peace until the covenants re-establishing
peace are sealed by the na
tions which were at war."
Taxation Readjustment of inter
nal taxes and revision or repeal "of
those taxes which have become un
productive and are so artiiiai ana
burdensome as to defeat their own
purpose."
Tariff Instant tariff enactment
"emergency in character and under
stood by our peojCe that it is for the
emergency only."
Railroads Efficient operation "at
a cost within that which the traffic
can bear.. Railway rates
and costs of operation must be re
duced." "The remaining
obstacles which are the heritance of
capitalistic exploitation must be re
moved and labor must join manage
ment in understanding that the pub
lic, which pays, is the public to be
saved and simple justice is the right
and will continue to be the right of
all the people.
Good Roads The strengthening
of laws governing Federal aid.
Merchant Marine "The United
States means to establish and main
tain a great merchant marine."
Communications "Private monop
olies tending to prevent the develop
ment of needed faciliaies should be
prohibited. Government owned fa
cilities wherever possible without un
duly interfering with private enter
prise or government needs, should be
made available for general usages."
Aviation Regulation by the Fed
eral government and encouragement
of aviation for development for mil
itary and civil purposes.
Service Men "The American peo
ple expect Congress unfailingly to
voice the gratitude of the republic in
a generous and practical way to its
defenders in the world war." The
immediate extension and utilization
of government hospital facilities to
"bring relief to the acute conditions
most complained of."
Public Welfare . Co-ordinization of
various government agencies, now
working on the subject and endorse
ment of the pending maternity bill.
Lynching "Congress ought to wipe
the stain of barbaric lynching from
the banners of a free and orderly
representative democracy. A pro
posaJ for a commission with repre
sentatives of white and black races
to study and report on the subject."
the President said, "has real merit.
Army and Navy Early considera
tion of pending appropriation bills
was urged. "The government is in
accord with the wish to eliminate the
burdens of heavy armament," said the
President. "The United States will
ever be in harmony with such a move,
mentis of peace. But we shall not en
tirely discard our agencies for defense
until there is removed the need to de
fend. We are ready to cooperate with
other nations to approximate disarm
ament but merest prudence forbids
that we disarm alone."
REPUBLICAN SENATE LEAD
ERS APPROVE MESSAGE
Both "Irreconcilables" and "Reserva.
tionists" Pleased With Rejection of
League.
General approval of President
Harding's declarations in his first
message to Congress Tuesday that
the United States could have no part
in the present League of Nations and
that the state of war should be ended
by congressional resolution, was ex
pressed by Republican Senate leaders
both of the "irreconcilable" and
"reservationists" groups, states a
Washington dispatch, which con-
the Republican leader, who led tne
inir fio-ht for reservations to the
extremely pleased" the message,
which he declared "separates us from
the league and approves passage of
the Knox resolution."
Senators Johnson, of California,
and Borah, of Idaho, leaders of the
"irreconcilables" expressed gratifica.
tion that the President had definitely
rejected the present league and had
declared for restoration of peace by
congressional action. They expressed
doubt, however, that the treaty of
Versailles with the league covenant
excluded could be put into shape for
ratification a possibility suggested
by Mr. Harding. v.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
acting Democratic leader, who led the
tinues:
Senator Lodge, of MassachusettsrfWilson forces in the Senate for rati
fication of the treaty and league ex
pressed disappointment at the Presi-
treaty of Versailles, said he "was dent's message. He declared that by
refusing to enter the league, the Uni
ted States has refused to take part
in the effort to stabilize the social,
business and governmental conditions
of the world, without which, he said,
there could be neither a revival of
business nor prosperity.
"I am wondering," Senator Har
rison, Democrat, Mississippi, said in
a statement tonight, "what the
thousands of independent voters and
pro-league Republicans who were as
sured or insisted that the best way to
have America get into the League of
Nations and have the treaty of Ver
sailles ratified was through the elec
tion of Harding as President, have
to say." i
"What the President said about the
league suited me," was the comment
of Senator Reed, of Missouri, a Demo
cratic treaty "irreconcilable."
Senator Norris, Republican. Nebras
ka, said he was pleased to "welcome
the President to the folds of the ir
reconcilables." Senator Poindexter, Republican,'
Washington, said the plan for an as
sociation of nations "still was in a
nebulous state."
Senator Kellojfg, of Minnesota, Re
publican "mild reservationist," de
clared the President would "be able
to work out an association of nations
and a peace program that will be
satisfactory to all."

The nastor chose for his text John
11. 25-26 Rev. Mitchell handled hia
fext in such, a way until all of our
hearts rejoiced while he spoke' to us
cut of God's word. The funeral was
well attended by both white and color
ed. I never in all my life heard so
many good things said as was said
by aunt Rhoda's white friends when
they were called upon to speak, re
specting the life she lived in her com
munity. Among the many thiiigs
that was suid, they said aunt Rhoda
Carlyle was one among the best
wtaien in her community.
"Mr. E. Biggs, Mr. Humphrey and
others made timely remarks, which
were enjoyed by all. Mr. Dennis

in laying away the remains. Please
allow me to say that the impression
made will never die and also that the
flowers s that were spread over her

Lumberton and others. We sympa
thize with those whom she left to
mourn the loss of a good mother.
