Appealing for the solidarity of po- Itical parties in America as against cectionalism, and for greater power for the executive, with the promise that it will be exercised with pru- dence, President Harding today trans- initted in person his first ‘annual mes- saze to Congress. Entered as second-class matter post office Washington, D. C. Text of President’s Message Delivered in Congress Today Mr. Speaker and Members of the Congress: It is a very gratifying privilege to come to the Congress With the republic at peace with all the nations of the world.

The shield to the high-minded public servant who adheres to party policy is manifest, but the higher purpose is the good of the republic as a whole. It would be ungracious to withhold acknowledgment of the really large volume and excellent quality of work accomplished by the extraordinary WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION 2\ * NAVAL HoLu DA\Q DEPARTM T - LLOYD GEORGE GIVES { UP HOPE OF COMING TO | 1 ARMS CONFERENCE HERE | | By the Associated Press.
