ry George B. Christian has made pub'
.He the address President Harding was
[to have delivered in San Franciscc
■at the Civic Auditorium on the accom
plishments of the administration it
the international field.
“The president before leaving Wash
ington and during his Journey to Alas
ka prepared speeches dealing with the
fundamental questions of policy and
performance on the part of the admin
istration.
"The San Francisco speech was tc
ideal with foreign relations and was
a carefully considered and carefully
prepared document. But for his ill
ness, the president would haVe HeUv
ereti the speech according to schedule;
but this being prevented, he now feels
thai it should go to the public through
the medium of the press and for the
information and consideration of the
people. Therefore, he has directed
that the spe’ech he reelased.”
In his address, President Harding
presented the views of his adminis
tration on pending international rela
tionships affecting the United States
tu’O urged participation by the Unit,
ed States in the permanent court ol
international justice as the next major
Step to be taken.
“With becoming dignity we have
maintained our rights; we have, yield
ed willingly to the rights of others,
and we dwell in cherished and un
threatened peace," he declares, after
enumerating the achievements of the
past two and a half yars, including
the conclusion of peace, with Ger
many, Austria and Hungary, tthe
arms conference and the British debt
settlement.
Two pending international,, questions
were discussed by the chief executive.
With respect to one—the recognition
of Russia—he declared, "International
[ good faith forbids any sort of sanc
tion of the Bolshevist policy." The
other question concerned relations
With Mexico and in discussing it Mr,
Harding said he earnestly hoped the
American commission now In Mexico
City would^ achieve “definite and fa-
vorabie' results."
The president also touched oh the
successful settlement of the cost In
curred for the maintenance of the
American army on the Rhine, listed
as another accomplishmenL The pres-
ldent paid this bad “little about it to
make a sentimental appeal, but It Is
a gratifying record of sane business

and found a way to remove the causes

Customs revenues estimated at
$500,000,000 this year are expected tc

Presidential Headquarters, Palace
Hotel, San Francisco.—President Har
-ding's condition became grave, and

and an announcement has been made
to the effect after a consultation by
physicians in attendance upon the
Atlanta.—The federal government
-Will contribute at least $10,000 in th£
present fiscal year to the upkeep o1
[a fire-fighting organization for the
protection of Georgia forests, with the
probability that this will be In
creased next year if the present bil!
pending before the general assemblj
creating a forest fire fighting organ!
zation for the state becomes a law.
| This commitment was made by J
G. Peters, of the United States foreB<
service, who directs the expenditure
of government forestry funds for state
co-operation, and who is in Atlanta
at the invitation of Representative
Ellis, who introduced the present
measure in the Georgia house of rep
resen tatives.
Acccording to Mr. Peters, the pres
ent bill under consideration, whict
has been reported favorably from the*
forestry committee, is entirely in line
with the policy of the federal govern
ment, and its passage will fulfill al!
the requirements of the federal gov
ernment in the expenditure of the
funds available for state aid.
Funds for forest proteetton and con
: servatlon have been given already tc
five southern states, according to Mr
Peters. They are Virginia, North Caro
lina, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas
The measure now under considera
tion provides for a forest fire righting
organization for Georgia, to be main
;talned by a special tax upon the in
[dustrles directly concerned, and tc
which the latter have agreed. No gen
leral appropriation will be necessary
[to carry into effect the provisions ol
the bill, acccording to Bonnell Stone,
member of the state forestry board
[and president of the Georgia Forestry
association, which has endorsed the
bill.
