INAUGURAL SPEECH
OF PRES. HARDING
Delivered At Washington Fri*
day After Taking Oath
Of Office
INAUGURAL ..N . .Nl— sm . .XX
Washington, March 4.—President
Harding in his augural address
said:
"My countrymen, when one sur
vey* the wotld about him uf.er the
great storm noting the met is* of de
struction and yet rejoicing In the
ruggednesi of the thing* which with
stood ft, if he }s an American hr
breathes the clarified atmosphere
with a . strange mingling of regret
and new hope. Wc have teen world
pasaion spend its fury, but we con
* template our republic unshaken and
hold our civiliaalion secure Liberty—
Liberty within the law— nnd eivilt
aalion art inseparable and though
both were threatened we find them
now secure and than comes to Am
ericana the profound assurance that
our representative government is the
highest expression and surest guaran
ty of both.
"Standing in this pre.eocc, mind
ful pf the solemnity of this occasion,
feeling the emotions which r.o one
may know until he senses tho great
weight of responsibility for himself,
must utter my belief in the d vire
inspiration of the founding fathers.
Suraly there must have bicn God's
intent ia the making of this new
world republic. Ours ia an organic
law which hut one ambiguity, and wc
saw that effaced in a baptism of sac
rifice and blood, with union main
tained, the nation supreme and its
concord inspiring. We have seen the
wona rivet iu nopciui nir on me
great truth* on which the founders
wrought. Wo have «ccn civil, human
and religious liberty verified and
gturifiedy In the beginning, today
our foundation* of polities! and social
belief stand unshaken, a precious in
heritance to ouraclvew, an inspiring
example of freedom and civilisation
to all mankind. Let Uv express re
newed and strengthenr d devotion, in
grateful reverence for the immortal
beginning, end utter our confidence
in the supreme fulfillment.
Progress Proves Wisdom
"The recorded progress of our re
public, materially and spiritually, in
iteelf proves the wisdom of the in
herited policy of non-involvemrnt in
Old World effair*. Confident of our
ability to work out our own dealiny
aad jealously guarding our right to
do so, we eeek no pert in directing
the destines of the Old Woild. We
do not mean to bo cm.inelrd. We
will accept no (espausibiuiy except
as our own conscirnca and judgment
in each instance may determine.
"Our ayes will nnver be blind tu
a developing menace, our cart r.rynr
deaf to the call of elviiiMtton. Wo
recognise the new ordtr in the world
with the doner contact* which prog
ress has wrought. We sense the coll
of the human heart for fellowship,
fraternity and harbor no hate. But
America, our America, the America
buiided on the foundation laid by
tba inspired fathers, enn be a party
to no permanent military alliance.
It can enter into no political com
mitments, nor assume any aronomic
obligations or subject our decisions
to any other than our own authority.
"I am sure our own people will
not misunderstand nor will the world
misconstrue, we have no thought to
impede the paths to closer relation
ship. Ws wl* h to promote understand
ing. W« want to do our part In mak
ing offensive warfare so hateful that
government peoples who resort to it
must prove the righteousness of their
cause or stand sa outlaws before the
bar of civilisation.
Association for Cowasel *
“We are reedy to associate our
telvee with the nations of the world,
. great and amall, for ionf*r«nce, for
counsel, to sack the expressed views
of world opinion, to recommend a
way to approximate disarmament and
relieve the crushing burden* of mili
. tary and naval ulablishmenta. W*
elect to participate plans for media
tion. conciliation and arbitration and
would gladly join In that expressed
conscience of progress, which seeks
VV wmr wiv v* uri
temational relationship and establish
• world coart for the disposition of
such justifiable questions as nation*
•re agreed to submit thereto. In ax
prtastag aspirations, in aecxlng prac
tical plana, ia translating humanity’i
new concept of righteousness, Justice
and It has hatred of war into recom
mended action w# are ready most
heartily to unite, but every commit-!
ment mutt be made in the axerrien
of onr national aovorelgnlty.
"Since freedom impelled, and In
dependence inspired and nationality
exalted, a world super-government ia
contrary to everything wc cherish and
can have no sanction by oar repub
lic. This ia not aelflthness. It I* sanc
tity. It it not aloofness, it ia security.
It fa not suspicion of others It in,
patriotic adherence to the things,
which made as what we are.
“Today, hotter than ever before,;
wo know tho expiration* of human
kind and there them. Wc have cornel
to a new realisation of onr platen lie
the world and a new appraisal of our,
nation by tha world. 'Iho unselfish-1

and heroic expression. There wa* no

ted reversion of civilisation, there
win he today or tomorrow.

"The success of our popular gov
ernment rcits wholly upon the con

•‘Fe-haps »« can ma:.e no more

prove a republic'? eapuclly to eraerre
from the wreckage of war. While
the world's embittered travail did
not leave in devastated lands nor iso
lated cities, left no gaping wounds,
30 breast with hare, it did. involve
us in the delirium of expenditure, in
expanded currency and credit*, in un
balanc'd industry, in unspeakable
waste and disturbed relation ships,
while it uncovered our portion of
hateful selfishness at home, it also
revealed the heart of America as
to unit nnd (carte?*, and beating in
confidence unfailing.
“Amid it all we have riveted the
gaie of all civilisation to the unsel-l
fiahnen ai r! the righteousness of
representative democracy, where our;
freedom never has made offensive
warfare, never ha* sought territorial
aggrandisement through force, never
has turned to th« arbitrament of

ehull have established a freedom like

the final sacrifice of international war

Reflection of Were Rosclioo
“Tho bui I ness world reflects the
disturbance of war's reaction. Here
in flows the life blood of malarial eg
iatencc. The economic mechanicirm
ia intricate and Its part iatar-dapand
vi-l.ur.d lit. iuffeted the sji-y-ks and
I are Incident to abaormal demands,
credit inflations and price- upheavals
The normal balances have been im
paired, the channel* of distribution
neve been clogged, the relations of
labor and management have been
(trained. We must trek the readjust
ment with care and courage. Our
people must give and take. Prices
must reflect the receding fever of
war activities. Perhaps wc never .shall
know the old levela of wage again,
because war inevitably raadjnsU
compensation and the litre***He* of
life will show their inseparable rela
tionship, but wt must strive for nor
malcy to reach stability. All the pen
alties will not ho light nor evenly
distributed.
‘There is no way of making thus
so. There ia no instant from disorder
to order. Wa mast face a coad.llon
of grim reality, charge off our losses
and start afresh. It is the olden les
son of civilisation. I would like the
government to do all it eaa to miti
gate them. In understanding, in mu
tuality of intuiesi, in concern for the
common good our taska will be solv
ed.
"No altered system win work i

only add to the confusion. Our bcal
