PHENISM INU.S. HIT BY PRESIDENT War Worth Its Cost in Re« { vealing Soul of America, Executive Declares. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. EN ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT HARDING, June 29.—What possible connection can there be between tax- ation and hyphenated Americanism? What has prohibition, law enforce- ment and lawless drinking to do with the world court? Maybe the people who have been reading President Harding’s speeches have wondered at the sudden transi- tion, In some of the prepared ad- dresses, from the main theme to What may seem to be extraneous topics. The answer is that Mr. Harding has been accumulating thoughts on a number of different subjects in -the last two years and he has planned to use the first occaslon that presented itself to emphasjze the points that have occuried to him. These isolated themes are not less significant be: cause they are mot the subject of an entire speech or because they are to- tally unrelated to the main topic of Mr. Harding's speaking itinerary. Remarks on Hyphenism. Some of the interpolated graphs are not prefaced by any ex- planation as to the reasons prompt- ing the President to discuss them. As an example, take the last paragraph of the speech on taxation Which, without any introduction to the sub- Ject of hyphenated Americanism, reads as follows: “War brought us the lesson that we had not been so American in &pirit as we had honestly pretended. Some of our adoptéd citizenship wore the habiliments - of America,” but were not conseéerated in_soul. to whom we have glven all the vantages of American citizen would destroy the very institut under which they have accepted our hospitality. Hence ou mitment to the cessa Americanization which we too long neglected. The American Legion, baptized anew in the supreme test on foreizn battlefields, is playing its splendid part. Those who bore war's burdens at home have joined, and all America must fully participate. It is not enough to enilst the sincere allegi- ance of those who come to accept our citizenship; we must make sure. for ourselves, for all of us, that we cling o the fundamentals, to the practices which enabled us to build so success- fully, and avold the errors which tend to fmpair our vigor and becloud the future. - para- Referred to Soviet. The last sentence referred, of course, to the preservation of th present econom stem of America as contrasted with the experimental- ism of the Russian soviets, and it is being inferred that the President used the illustration of war-time hy- phenates to impress upon the coun- try the dangers of foreign-born agi- tators Another and even more abrupt turn in one of the President's speeches on law enforcement .and prohibition led the audience at Denver from.a sermon | on drinking to some added thoughts on the world court which apparently the President did not feel that he had covered adequately in St. Loui Be- cause of the greater emphasis given prohibition that day by the President, a very pointed reference to the world war which has an interesting back- ground was not stressed. To under- stand its significance one must re- member that Mr. Harding as a sen- ator voted for America's declaration of war against Germany not because of the slogan of a war for democracy or humanity, but because of a con wviction which he expressed at the time, namely, the defense of American rights on the high seas. He didn't admit the broader aspects of civillza. tion's challenge to be controlling. Here is the viewpoint he holds today: Sees Gains From War. he world war was a frightful calamity, from which the earth will not have fully recovered in a century . to come. Nearly five years have passed and peace i3 not vet secure. Our own cost was beyond an under- standable appraisal, but I sometimes feel it was worth much of its cost, because it brought -an- American awakening and revealed the soul of the republic. We experjenced the su-| preme commitment. i “We saw our America ready ‘to do or die for our concept of civilization and its guaranties. It-éxalted us and made us a better, a more patriotically devoted people. I would like to g0 on, with soul aflame, in eagerness to | ald humankind while promoting se- | curity for ourselve: B This is more in line with the Wil- sonian concept of the reasons for America’s_entry into the war than| anything Mr. Harding bas sald since he voted for war, and.t is in_contrast to what Ambassador-Harvey sald in one of his first speeches in Britain— namely, that America didn’t enter the war for humanity or to save her soul, but for primary reasons of selfish se- curity. Service His Theme. Never has President Harding preached more fervently the law of service to mankind than on this west- ern trip. He derives his broader view- point from the exalted ideas he has of the value of the International Court of Justice. He' says, for instance, in an incidental reference to the world court: “It is too mueh to say that such a court will give a guaranty against war, but it will prove the longest step toward war prevention and maintained peace since the world be- gan. In such a thought is concern for our own country, nio less than anxiety for a world which is finding read- justment difficult. T am thinkihg of more than our freedom from conflict with all_its attending burdens and sorrow. Iam thinking of our America having a commitment to an exalt- ing enterprise to save us from the reaction to a mere sordid existence, and to keep our hearts aglow while we serve as vanguard in the march of civilization.” A Enthusiasm for Court. There will be much dispute over the real scope of a world court, how- ever commendable the enterprise itself, for since each nation can re. fuse to submit a contfoversy to the court and usually thése major guar- rels lead to war, the. ¢ritles will not accept the idea that a judicial tribu- nal can_accomplish as much as an agency designed to discuss, if not ad- Judicate, all kinds of questions, which disturb the peace of nations. Mr. Harding has hitherto belleved the conference idea between govern- mants|fox & nocl.noau 2‘1 nations” would he..the Jnost .effectiye: agency of'* pedde. ~HIN' enthusiasm for the world gourt. .has -temporarily ovér- shadowed other measures of preserv- ing international peace, but before the next election will be con- fronted with the necessity of distin-| gulshing: -between & worid court of limited Influence and a faormula. for solving, ~‘or least tacking, the larger domain of subjects that lead to war, (Copyright, 1938.)

HEIRESS TO GATES’ MILLIONS VIEWS RICHES “LONG WAY OFF” Special Dispatch to The Star. ST. CHARLES, Ill. June 29.—Mrs. Dellora Angell Norris, youthful heir- ess to nearly $40,000,000 of the for- tune left by the late John W. Gates, today told for the first time some of the tridls that beset a girl who is supposed to be enormously rich, but who really fsn't and won't be until she {s foriy-two years old. And that age is a long, long way off for Mrs. Norris. Mrs. Norris also took the oc- casion to deny that ten days ago she was left an additional $7.000,000 by ;}lrs Dellora R. Gates of Port Arthur, he story that Mrs. Dellora R. | Gates of Port Arthur left me $7.000,- 000 is not true,” she sald. “There are no seven millions. All I have is what was previously left me. - Says She In Not Rich. And I am not rich.” she continued. f people think I have forty mil- lions to do with as I like they are wrong. All I have is an allowance until 1 am of age, which is a year from now. The entire fortune will not be at my disposal until I am for- ty-two. “I wish- people knew that. Every day 1 get stacks of mail asking for this college or that foundation and for this invention and that charity. Yesterday I got a letter asking for $300,000 for an eastern school. Why, 1 never had that much money in my life. We get so many letters that Lester and 1 put them in the waste basket without reading them. “I do like to get letters from people 1 know, but I am sick of letters from strangers.” When this_correspondent was ush- ered into the pretty dwelling that serves as the Norris home Mrs. Nor- ris was_setting the table for dinner. Lester Norris, her husband, is really to be thanked for the interview. He is a_young artist, and he sald that the Norris family generally had been so misrepresented that Dellora didn't care to talk to any one. Then he added that there were certain things on which a consclentious reporter could set the world right, and he called out to “Dee” to come and tell them. Bride and bridegroom explain- ed their plans for a simple life. First of all, they are living in a modest but comfortably furnished bungalow which they leased from a doctor who does not need it since his domestic troubles went to court. They are paying rent for their home out of money earned by ‘“Les’ at free lancing in commercial art and car- tooning. “The report that we intend to live on what I earn is certainly true’” sald Norris. “We will not live elabo- rately, but we will live comfortably. What'I earn is not much, but it is enough. Just now I am doing ad- vertising work for a large interstate fair and for several big concerns. My income is not definite, so I can give no figures. Eventually we hope to own our own home. We have no servants—only a cook.” Dellora menages the house and does most of the work, the correspondent was_told, and she takes turns with her husband in driving their sole and ungretentious motor car. 11 we ask is to live our life quiet- as we like it,” sald “Les,” with un- akable sincerity. ‘'We dislike gubllclty like that which we have cen_ getting.” 3 Meantime Dellora, clad in a becom- ing house frock.of red-figured”White material, over which she wore a busi- nesslike”, and simple white apron, plainly embroidered, hurried about setting the table and carrying food from the kitchen. She made only one last request. SRR ¢ “Please don’t ‘say’I -look good in white,” she implored. “I hate whit “But she does look well in almost any other color,” qualified her hu band, and all who know will agree with ‘him. (Copyright, 1928.) IHARDING ATTACKS MIDDLE ENSTOLL IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, Jun¢ 20.— Declaring that the need of the pre ent is to shorten the bridge between producer and consumer, President Harding,. In an address here yester- day, proposed a plan of co-operation among consumers, financed in part at least through a carefully organ- ized and supervised adaptation of principles of the savings bank-or the building and loan soclety. “I believe the suggestion is worthy of careful examination and consider- ation,” the President asserted. “I am convinced that its discussion will be fruitful of good results and & re- minder to some who are disposed to take unreasonable tolls from both the consuming public and the produc- ing public, that this public has the right, the power and the abllity to idevisé means to protect itself.” Wil Propose Legislation. The President further sald that as a result of studies and investigations he hoped- to be able “to recommend | for the consideration of ~Congress measures which shall represent .a beginning along this line. “One of the most engrossing prob lems of our time, confrouting coun tries nd all societies, Is the exor- bitant cost of lving” the President s {“We realize that the real pro- ducer, under our elaborate and costly system of distribution, 1s not per- niitted a fair share of his product for his own usc and enjovment. We have pecome convinced that somehow | our system of distribution has grown too cumbersome, t6o costly, too com- plex, too indirect, too unrelated to the interests of real producers and legiti- mate consumer. We must find meth- ods to take up as much as possible of the slack in the long line between producer and consumer; to give the producer a better share in that which he furnishes to the community, and to enable the consumer to meet his requirements at reasonable cost. Weat Tries Co-Operation. “To this end many experiments have been made In co-operative production, transportation, distribution and pur- hasing. To a great extent, these ex- periments have proceeded from the enterprise and initiative of the west- ern people, to whom these problems have presented the elves with pecial insistence. But for the spir of co-operation, the willingness to be mutually helpful, the determination ! to give first place to the interests of the community you could not have made your west what it is. Working co-operation on a great e practi- cal in operation and adequate to cope with our problems can never be pos- sible, except where there is this spirit, determination nd purpose. Tt is be- cause the west has led so far in de- vising such workable programs that I have thought to say a few words long this line today. Developments of the last genera- tion have brought the Instrumenta ities of tranaportation, of finance. of | corporate organization and operation into a closer h mony with the true public interest than ever before. The government has sought to make itself helpful, to point the way, to remove ancient barriers of custom or tradi tion, and to curb the excessive de mands of privilege, in order to cheap- en for the great public many of the | services which formerly were domi- nated by the private int s and operated with too exclusive a consid- | eration for private profit. Initiative Ix Needed. “Anything tending to break personal initiative, to destroy enter- prise and ambition, must not enter into any program which can.hope for the approval of the American people. Ours is an_individualistic society. and we want it to remain so. We want this republic to remain always the land_of opportunity, wherein every man's abilities and usefulness shail measure his personal advancement and prosperitv. The kind of a pro- | gram to encourage co-operation and co-ordination which I have in mind Would not interfere with the freedom | of proper opportunity: rather, it would enhunce the individual's chance to better his individual fortune.” “The need of this time is to shorten the bridge between producer and con- sumer, and to reduce the toll that! must be paid for passing over it. We ! all know a good deal about the vari-| ous co-operative societies, associa- tions and corporations which have un- dertaken, in many cases with notable Success. to improve the position of the agricultural producers. Such or- ganizations have been successful in all parts of this country, and in many parts of the old world. ‘They have al- ready done a great work and taught us many valuable lessons. Where! there are obstacles, Imposed by un-| fortunate statutes or public policles, or in the way of expanding such ac-| tivities as these, they might well be gradually removed through measures of helpfulness and encouragement. | I Finds Farmers Alert. i | 1 | { down “On the whole, T think the agri- ,cul(ural community has been more alive to the promotion of its inter- ests aiong these lines than has the urban community. The farmers have seen where the intesests lay, and have been more prompt and ener- getic in adopting measures to pro-| mote them than the people of thc# city and town have been. There is| feed to have working and practical | co-operative associations of pro- ducers in the country, and at the same time to have equally effective co-operations among the consumini communities of the cities and town and, finally, to link these two sets co-operators together in a co-ordin: {tion for mutual advantages to both. I believe it is possible, and altogether desirable, that systems of credit and finance should be developed, under public auspices, to encourage both These kinds of co-operation; and to draw them together into @ harmo- nious working scheme of widespread Qistribution at the lowest possible expense. “We have in recent years given much attention to developing a sys- tem of agricultural finance, particu- larly adapted to the nceds of Ameri- can farm producers. Some critics have, indeed, protested that it was class legislation. Perhaps it was; but, as I suggested in discussing the problems cf agriculture in Kansas the other.day, it was in the interest §8°a Vitally Important section of the community which has heretofore had altogether too little consideration.

ALTR ‘Work Out Detalls Later. I have not attempted to work out even an outline, much leswithe details of such a system; but I belleve it i possible, feasible and certain to |, command the sympathy cf men and women who have the true interest of the country at heart. I Hope to be able, the result of studles and inyestigations, to recommend for. the consideration ‘of Congress measures which. shall represent .a -beginfin along this line. "1t is a big rregnant subject to which-no thinks ivg man or woman can:deny’ the’ fullest and most cdreful considera- tion. . My thaught {s that governmeht should give the largest encourage- ment, consistent with round econom- irs and proper government func fons, 10 every effort of the people to. helpy themselves in dedling with the high cost of living and the relationship of incomes to our household budgets. 1 have wondered if It were not possible, for example, that a schemo of co-operation among consumers. financed in part at least through-a carefully “organized and supervised adaptation of the principles of the savings bank or the building and loan soclety, might be magde to serve a eplendidiy usefyl purpose in this department of our economic life. I think this would be preferable to hav- ing limited sections of the community undertaking to establish financial independence and economic solidarity, | as some of them: have latély been doing. The development of such ‘a general program into a sound work- ing business scheme would doubtless be found chiefly an affair of the state sovernments, but one in which the jointure of state and national au- thorities might prove practicable and even necessary. Right to Protection. “I bring this suggestion of a direc- tion which might be given to activ ties of the kind. 1 believe the sug- is_worthy of careful exam- ination and consideration. 1 am con- vinced that its discussion would be fruitful of good results and a_re- minder to some who are disposed ‘to take tolls from both the consuming and the producing public that thls public has ‘the ‘Tight, the power and the ability to devise means to pro- tect itself. “The aim and object of our every policy must be the establishment and maintenance of an independent and self-respecting, reliant and indus- trious, intelligent and self-helpful American citizenship.
