NATION LOYAL TO
ITSELF, BUT HELPFUL.
PRESIDENT’S IDEAL
(Continued From Page 1)
civilization secure. The heroic dead,
for whom the day was originated
preserved the ark of the covenant of
union and nationality, and in that
service they made possible the ex
alted place so recently won for our
country. Our own generation will
not perform a part worthy of its
heritage if we do less than our very
utmost to preserve that which they
made possible for us to possess. Nay,
more, we shall not be our most and
best at home if we do not resolve
for all time that the differences
which brought us to civil conflict
were due to ambiguities in our un
ion and the disputes between two
schools of political thought, and
when we made union indissoluble and
the nation supreme, we left our peo
ple one flag, one purpose, one pride,
and one destiny.
“In such a view we must see that
our opportunity to be useful to man
kind at large depends first on being
loyal to ourselves. No ideal of gen
erosity to all men can justify neg
lect first to make ourselves strong,
firm, secured in behalf of our own
people.
"We cannot hope to discharge the
wider responsibilities if we have not
first proved our capacity to meet the
narrower ones. It is our wish to be
useful in the greater realms; but if
we are to do so. we must have no
'question of our devotion to the
great principles for which these
gave their lives in the struggle
which saved the union and rededi
cated forever to liberty. I counsel no
selfishness, no little Americanism,
no mere parochialism, when I urge
that our first duty is to our own.
and that in the measure of its per
formance we will find the true gauge
of our capacity to be helpful to
others.
“It is a good thing to come to
this consecrated place and renew the
pledges of our loyalty to those whose
patriotism gave us our strength and
opportunity. They did not know, they
could not know, for what greater
things they were laying the founda
tions. Yet their instinct led them to
the judgment that their first duty
was to preserve the institution of
popular rule, of national solidarity.
They did not enter the war among
the states with primary purpose to
end the institution of human slavery.
Worthy as that might have been,
their inspiration was higher. They
sought first to maintain the union, to
keep it a power for the advancement
of America and humanity, confident
that if they won all other rightful
things in due time would be
achieved. They were right then, in
the end. slavery received its decree
of banishment from this continent,
and at last from the world.
To Save Unity
“But let me repeat, that great
achievement for humanity was not
the aim with which they entered
upon our internecine struggle. They
were called to prevent secession, to
save the national unity.
“They believed that the institu
tions of this country were gffood;
that they deserved to be preserved;
that they were worth supreme ef
fort, even all of life itself. In mak
ing that effort and that sacrifice,
they did far more than save what
had already been gained; they made
possible for slavery to be ended for
ever.
“It was the same in the more re
cent war of the free peoples against
the autocracies of the world. In its
beginnings, men fought to protect
that which they already had. Their
countries’ lives were at stake; their
rights as free men were menaced;
and for these they went forth to
battle. There was no thought ot
crusading for the freedom of a
world, of emancipating distant peo
ples, of rendering a noble service to
the enemy who had attacked them.
They had not time and small dispo
sition to indulge altruisms.
“Yet. as in the case of our Civil
war, they won far more than they
had sought in the beginning. They
won for themselves, their homes,
their countries; and in doing so they
destroyed well night the last In
trenchments of the mistaken doc
trine of divine right to rule. They
gained the victory for their own
grateful countries, and with it they
won, for those whom they defeated,
the opportunity of establishing free
institutions, of planting democra
cies where absolutism had held
sway ,of making the people supreme.
True, they weer able only to afford
opportunity for the great advance.
They could not force free institu
tions upon the crushed and broken
enemy: they could not insure that
those institutions would be perma
nent, even if experimentally adopt
ed. Freedom is not to be crowded
upon those who will not have it;
but the privilege of adopting, and
having, and enjoying it —that priv
ilege was opened wide to the van
quished communities which had
sought to take it from others. We
do not yet know certainly whether
the defeated and unwilling benefi
ciaries will be able to grasp this
boon. We cannot tell whether they
will pay the price required to main
tain the freedom to which the door
I has been opened. We do know and
we take pride that our sons and
I brothers afforded them the oppor
tunity.
"Thus we see that, whether in our
civil struggle or In the world war,
the triumph of the right inevitably
applies gains that sweep far beyond
the immediate issue. Those heroes
of the Civil war "who sleep about us
here wrote that lesson in symbols
of blood and fire, where all men
might read. And they did yet more.
They taught the lesson qf a great
community making its fight for
freedom an exclusive business of
the whole people. Never before had
there been an example, on such a
scale, of the entire human and in
dustrial power of a people being cast
into the common cause. Wars had
largely been professional affairs, in
the hands of trained people, waged
by conscripts whose knowledge or
concern for the cause they served
was of necessity limited and doubt
ful. Here was found a nation whish
for four years gave its very all of
human resource, of industrial power,
of faith in its mission and its fu
ture, in order that it might main
tain an ideal. It accomplished that
which experts and economists de
cried as the impossible. It defied
the edict that economic exhaustion
and financial disabilities must pre
vent a decisive victory. It demon
strated that the wealth and resources
of a nation lie not in acres and
bushels, in bank balances and ton
nage, in taxable wealth and going
business, but rather in the sinews
and souls of its inspired people. And
therein the example of our fraternal
struggle taught the lesson whi
later moved agonized civilization to
reject an indecisive peace.
Our Debt
“So much, and vastly more, we
owe of debt to these who won the
peace of union and liberty. It is a
debt that has not yet been dis
charged in full; a debt on which ev
ery succeeding generation can hope
only to pay its installment; for it
obligates us and those after us to
maintain for this people the high
estate which they established. >ve
never will lead aught of what they
won for us. Forbidden by the law
of life and institutions, we cannot
stand still. We must always move
forward, along the upward paths
they marked for us. No less is pos
sible unless we would repudiate the
debt they laid upon us, whose cove
nant they sealed in their blood.
“Thus appraising and thus ac
knowledging our responsibility, we
will do well to consider the partic
ular burdens it lays upon us. We
look about us on a world troubled
and torn, groping for away back
to light and opportunity.. W.e find
ourselves, as a people, occupying a
place of vast responsibility in that
world. We stand among the leaders
to whom it looks for guidance and
direction. We are blessed with
wealth and with the institutions of
freedom, with the magnificent tra
dition that comes to us from those
whom today we honor. We cannot
evade, if we would; for mankind is«
fallen on times when there is no
hope for it if some communities
seek isolation while others indulge
unrestrained ambition for empire.
Civilization must face disaster if
there shall be denial either of com
mon responsibility, or of essential
equality among sovereign states and
persons.
“We have heard much about the
danger of winning the war and los
ing the peace. But is there not A in
the example of those who made the
ultimate sacrifice, a lofty inspiration
to the same singleness of purpose,
the same readiness to sink individual
for the sake of general good, that
moved them? Though they were not
trained to military forms and evolu
tions, yet they learned to stand to
gether in unbroken lines, to move : s
unities, to forget the individual for
the sake of the mass. Surely there
is no reason why peace may not
achieve discipline, unification, di
rectnes of purpose, as war does. It
requires the same submergence of
selfish ends, the same relinquishment
of the merely personal gratifications
the same regard for the common in
terest. lam not counselling surren
dered independence. Our maintained
freedom is the source Os our might.
Only the American conscience may
command this republic.
"It is, indeed, a very different mat
ter to achieve the discipline that
peace demands. There is not the
urge of instant danger, the rigor of
authority to overcome that danger.
It is needful to bring into subjuga
tion the thoughtless mind, the indul
gent disposition, the easy quest of
pleasure, the lust of gains, the as
piration for power and personal sat
isfaction. It is required to substi
tute saving for thoughtless spend
ing, thrift for waste, increasing pro
ductive effort for the simple expe
dient of spending the shortest time
and least energy on the job.
Worked During War
“During the war, when we were all
intent on the great business of win
ning, we saw this discipline estab
lished in mine, factory and farm oc
cupations. We worried not a little
about how extravagant We were; but.
on the other hand, we all turned in
and worked, and we made those years
of the war period marvels of pro
ductiveness, despite that millions of
workers were in the uniform and oth
er millions were engaged in the spe
cial industries which war necessi
tated. With the return of peace this
industrial discipline was thrown
acide: not only in our own country,
but in every country that was in the
war. A break down of morale ac
companied it, and we find ourselves
halting when we ought to move for
ward. We need a patriotism reso
lue in peace as well as a patriotism
aflame in war.
“Nowhere were men prepared to
cope with the new problems of peace;
nowhere were they less prepared
than in this country. But if we had
failed to set up the machinery for
liquidation of war conditions, we
nevertheless came out with our pro
ducing organizations less wrenched
and shaken than was that of the Eu
ropean countries. Our soil had not
been invaded; our people had not suf
fered the physical privations which
were visited upon great communities
elsewhere. We came forth with bet
ter credits, sounder currency, and a
ratio of debt far less than those of
either allied or enemy states.
"Though our sorrows seemed meas
ureless, we were more lightly
touched, and for griefs incurable
there was compensation. We found
the soul of America, we have the re
born spirit of the republic.
"I know the aching hearts. It re
quires nearness to measure the bur
den of grief. Only a few days ago
I saw more than 5,000 flag-draped
coffins, tenanted with their heroic
dead. Theirs was mute eloquence
in protesting war, theirs was the su
preme appeal for war's avoidance.
The way to preserve honor without
material waste and the costlier hu
man sacrifice would be the surpass
ing memorial tribute. We may not
bestow it today, but we may fittingly
resolve that the influence and exam
ple of our America shall point the
way to such lofty achievement.
"In the inspirations that we may
gain through today's contemplation
of the deeds of these, our heroes of
all our wars, we are called to look
toward tomorrow’s obligations. Our
country has never failed to measure
up to the demands presented to it in
behalf of humanity, and it never
will. When it ceases to meet these
drafts, it will no longer be our coun
try; it will be. if that time ever
comes, the wretched and decaying
memorial of another civilization
which has crumbled, of another ideal
which has failed, of another ambition
for men's happiness which somehow
has gone awry. We feel, aye, in our
hearts we know, that ours is not to
I be that fate. We believe that the
| torch will flame more brightly in
our hands, that we will hold it safe
and high aloft, and that its light
will help, at least, to point the way
for humanity on the path of safety
and in the task of building for all
time.”

ASSISTANCE ABROAD
TO BE PBEDIC.ITEO
ON BELIEF AT HOME
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
WASHINGTON. May 28.—1 n all of
the important financial negotiations
which have marked the week-end in
Washington, President Harding has
shown a determination that any as
sistance extended to foreign nations
shall be predicated upon the quickest
relief possible to the suffering agri
cultural interests of the United
States.
The wheat growers of the great
northwestern granaries, the cotton
planters of the south, the corn plains
states and tillers of the soil in gen
eral are foremost in the president’s
mind at the moment, and he believes
that America’s vast money resources
properly placed can bring prosperity
once more to the rural districts.
Mr. Harding is convinced, with
many other economists, that general
prosperity in the United States comes
first of all from the soil. When the
farmer is in straitened circumstances
business lags the country over. The
president has himself declared there
is no short cut to prosperity. A
profitable outlet must be found for
America’s Igreat food and cotton
crops. The domestic demand will ®ot
suffice.
The average American farmer, not
much of an internationalist a few
years ago, has learned what Presi
dent Harding has been stating this
week that America cannot live in
majestic isolation, but is an integral
part of an interdependent system of
nations. >
President Harding believes that
business "deflation” has been car
rfed to the point where there can
be an easing up of the governmental
check reins which have functioned
through the medium of the federal
reserve banks. He believes there
can be a modification of the restric
tions which a year or so ago were
put on to curb the speculative ten
dency which kept prices at a high
level and to force a liquidation of
stocks held for exhorbitant profits.
Approve Proposal
He believes, first of all, that the
government is justified in approv
ing a proposal of the so-called in
ternational bankers heavily to back
corporations and agencies formed to
foster the export trade of the United
States through the extension of long
term credits to the European coun
tries in sore need of foodstuffs and
raw materials. These foreign export
concerns, organized under the Edge
act, have not been successful thus
far through want of sufficient capi
tal. The conferences in Washington
the last fe wdays with the most pow
erful banking interests of the coun
try have had help for these concerns
in mind.
In consulting with the financiers,
President Harding has had to face a
number of problems which have had
their difficult sides, politically as well
as economincally. The big bankers,
men like J. P. Morgan and Charles
H. Sabin, of the Guaranty Trust
company, and C. .E. Mitchell, of the
National City bank, of New York,
have not hesitated to ask the presi
dent if it would be possible for the '
United States to guarantee the in- j
tegrity of certain nations desirous of
obtaining American loans.
The president just as frankly told
the bankers he felt that such a guar
antee was impossible. There is no
doubt the proposal of the bankers
had a suggestion of Article X about
it—that ghost of the repudiated
League of Nations which seems so
difficult to down.
It was agreed at the White House
conferences that the United States
is the only nation ih the world cap
able of putting the world on its feet;
capable of making the necessary
monetary arrangements to bring in
ternational exchange once more to a
nearly normal basis. Gold continues
to pour into the United States, and
other nations have no means to buy
it back, or to buy credits against it.
“Frozen credits” in the United
States are giving way to "frozen
cash” which should be. employed in
trade in motion.
Can Make Doans
The big bankers, with the help of
modified rules, or a modification of
the law which requires federal re
serve banks to charge double interest
after their specified reserves are
called upon, say they will have the
necessary resources to float immense
loans for foreign governments, but
they would like for the United
States government to guarantee that
the present order in Europe will be'
maintained. This assurance the pres
ident could not give them, it is said,
but it may be in the end the bank
ers will be satisfied with the pres
ence of an American representative
"taking part” in the deliberations of
the allied supreme council, as Am
bassador Harvey is now doing. The
supreme council has powers far
greater than the council of the
League of Nations, of which the
present administration will have no
part. The supreme council at pres
ent is engaged in absolutely regulat
ing the affairs of Europe, and so fai
as an agency can do so, is guaran
teeing the stability of the govern
ments.
President Harding is desirous that
any help extended to foreign nations
shall have for its first purpose the
moving of America’s surplus food
crops and the rehabilitation of our
all but suspended export trade. To
this end the bankers are working.
The problems in the way of making
the necessary arrangements are very
complex. Even Germany.is looking to
the United States tor a financial plan.
It was learned that in one foreign
loan recently negotiated in this
country a good part of the money
was spent in Argentina for wheat.
It was explained that this money
I afterward came back to the United
States to pay for manufactured goods
bought by South America. Mr. Har
ding wants the benefit of America’s
loans to be more direct to the farm
er in the future.
NEW ARMAMENT
MISOPPOSED
WASHINGTON, May 28.—Broad
ening of the Borah disarmament res
olution to include land as well as
naval disarmament would tend to
defeat the measure’s purpose, in the
opinion of senators who helped Sen
ator Borah fight his proposal through
the senate as a rider to the navy
bill. For this reason, senators look
with some disfavor on the apparent
intention of house leaders to include
discussion of army reduction in the
provision for the international con
ference Senator Borah’s measure calls
for.
The senate summarily defeated an
attempt by Senator Pomerene, and
another by Senator Walsh, Montana,
to broaden the Borah plan, for the
very reason that he feared to com
plicate the disarmament question too
much.
Then Representative Mondell, Re
publican leader, in the house, asked
President Harding if he would ob
ject to including land disarmament
in the caX for an international con
ference with Great Britain and Japan.
President Harding, Mr. Mondell said,
replied that he would object to no
reasonable broadening of the Borah
plan. Mr. Mondell, on his return to
the h,ouse, so informed his colleagues,
and they now intend to amend the
Borah idea to that extent.
Senators, while carefully refrain
ing from criticism of the house,
pointed out that Senator Borah and
other disarmament advocates had
carefully considered the inclusion of
land disarmament, and after a study
of the situation in Great Britain and
Japan, as well as at home, decided
against including it. The time for
it is not yet here. Senator Borah
said, in explaining why he left it
out.
“I favor reduction of land arma
ments quite as heartily as naval
armaments,” said Senator Borah to
day. The only question is the ex
pediency of proposing it now. We
must take into account the public
mind, and the situation in other
countries. If land disarmament could
be accomplished along with naval
reduction, it would be a tremendous
b&on to the tax-ridden people of this
and other countries, I, earnestly hope
both may come about. However, I
deemed it prudent to take up first
the question Offering the greater
chance of success. There is no doubt
in my mind that the people of the
world are ready enough to disarm.
But we must deal with governments,
and governments are moved by con
siderations of national safety which
might lead them to shy away from
too broad a reduction of their arma
ments all at once, even though other
nations joined.”
A conference with Japan and Great
Britain very quickly would develop
the fact, senators think, that while
both are ready to talk reduction of
sea power, neither would seriously
discuss land reduction. Furthermore,
they point out it is in naval arma
ments, rather than in armies, that
the leading sea powers are running
a staggeringly expensive race, and
the real savings in taxation is to be
made there.
Say Husband Confessed
Murdering His Father
ORLANDO, Fla., May 28. —Mrs.
John R. Bryant, whose husband is
in jail here charged with the murder
several weeks ago of his father, told
newspaper men today her husband
had confessed to her that he had
killed the elder Bryant. The state
ment was made in the presence of
several witnesses, one of whom was
a stenographer.
Bryant’s body xvas found in a
shallow grave near here and the son
and his wife in destitute circum
stances were arrested later in New
Jersey.
Mrs. Bryant, in her statement, de
clared that the night of the killing
she was awakened by hearing her
husband moving about on the lower
floor of the house. Looking out of
the window she saw him back a
wagon to the door, place in it a
mattres sand other articles and
then drive away. When Bryant re
turned she heard him scrubbing and,
according to the statement her hus
band told her later, he had killed
his father and was washing away
blood which had covered the floor.
They left the next day in a two
horse wagon. The horses were sold
a few days later and they boarded
a train in Palatka, going from there
to New York.
The woman said she had stuck by
her husband as long as she could,
but. that the evidence against him
was too strong and that for the
sake of her baby she thought she
should tell the truth.

CHAPTER XXVI
The Country Club Dance
CHARLOTTE had been on thq
point of telling her secret to
Tony once or twice, but each
time something had happened
to prevent it. Tony’s moments of
tenderness were few and far between
these days7 and it seemed that every
time the two were alone he had some
thing to reproach her for.
On the night,that Tony had talked
with his mother about the embarrass
ment of Nick Fowler’s presence,
Charlotte dressed without enhtusi
asm of any kind. She did not look
forward to the dance as any young
girl would look forward to pleasure
and jollity, many partners and a
beautiful dress, for she knew exact
ly what the evening would bring
forth. She would dance with a suc
cession of men who would treat her
with extreme politeness and look
longingly at some other girl. Be
tween dances there would be no in
teresting stroll in the grounds, but
she would be returned with punctil
ious courtesy to Mrs. Harriman’s side
and left there until the next man
called for her. At these affairs Tony
always danced the first and last
dances with his wife, and spent the
rest of the evening with the younger
crowd.
“You know,” he had said to Char
lotte as if in extenuation, “a man
never dances with his wife, it isn’t
done.”
And Charlotte had smiled a wry
little smile and had made no reply.
Tonight she wore a new frock, a
shimmering lovely girlish thing that
had enormous possibilities. Janice
had waved her hair and when she ap
peared at dinner there was a faint
color in her cheeks. That first
thought that Mrs. Harriman had had
concerning Charlotte occurred to her
[ again as she looked at the girl from
under lowered eyelashes. Charlotte
did have possibilities; sometimes
when she talked with her father-in
law, the one person in the house who
was uniformly kind to her, she ac
tually sparkled. Why couldn’t she
be that way with strangers? Yet
never since her first day in the house
had she made the slightest effect to
attract any one to her.
The clubhouse was brightly light
ed, and overflowing with young peo
ple. Edith Comstock greeted Char
lotte in the dressing room, running
her eyes over the girl’s frock and
making some careless remark as she
spread carmine evenly over her lips.
Charlotte had at first hurried
through her dressing preparations so
as t oleave the room under the wing
of Edith or some one of the other
girls, but since the night she had
overheard Edith call her "Tony’s
clinging vine” to one of the men she
made no effort to attach nerself to
any one.
Tonight as she left the dressing
room and began to cross the brilliant
ly lighted ballroom, her heart, beat
ing suffocatingly with a self-con
sciousness that was almost physi
cal pain, she happened to look up
and meet full a pair of audacious
eyes set in a careless, worldly weary
face. The eyes smiled at her before
the lips did, and he came forward a
few steps to greet her, taking both
her slim hands in his before the eyes
of every one present.
And Charlotte forgot everything
but the fact that this man was her
friend. The night no longer stretch
ed before her, long and interminable
as something that must be endured.
She laughed up into Nick's face with
the glda laugh of childhood.
“Are you glad to see me?” he
asked. ,
"Very, very glad,” she returned.
And the eyes of the world looked on
and wondered, and Mrs. Harriman
met Tony’s glance full, and her's said
quite plainly, "What did I tell you?”
Chapter XXVII
Dost Ideals
1 z z T T many dances will you
• • II give me?” Nick asked
smiling down into the
blue eyes that were
raised to his.
Charlotte handed him her card
without a word and he scrawled his
initials in as many places as he
dared.
That night Charlotte sparkled and
flushed and laughed her fluty little
laugh all during the evening. She
had never had such a good time and
Nick’s attentiveness, his grave in
terest in what she had to say were
stimulating in the highest degree.
She who had never interested in the
slightest the men of Tony’s set, had
now everything she said considered
and every slightest wish deferred to
no wonder Charlotte responded and
there was an ethereal loveliness
about her that Nick thought made
her more fairy like than ever.
Charlotte ,knew that if she called
the tune she must pay the piper.
She knew that afterward everything
would be gloomier than ever by con
trast. She knew, too, that Tony was
displeased with her, and once when
she caught Mrs. Harriman’s eye she
met an open anger that her mother
in-law was at no pains to conceal.
That night she had plenty of part
ners, and when she danced she was
like a piece of thistledown. It was
her triumph, for the men flocked
about her.
Innocently she thought that now
Tony would be pleased, for at least
she was popular.
Mrs. Harriman, looking at her
daughter-in-law, would not have
known her for the pale little creature
she had looked upon so contempt
uously. Beside her the other girls
semed big and clumsy. Her silver
blonde hair, loosened by the dance,
framed her face with an auerole of
radiance. Her blue eyes, half veiled
with their golden lashes, seemed
mysterious, and her face was flushed
with color.
When Tony finally claimed her for
a dance, he was stiff with anger.
They danced around to one of the
open French windows and he drew
her outside. His voice shook with
fury as he released her and stood
before her
“You are making a laughing stock
of yourself,” the words came in a
rush. “How dare you show the
whole world how infatuated you are
with this man.” Tony was past rea
son, he hardly knew what he said.
The one thing he was conscious of
was that his mother had been right
about Charlotte.
“What do you mean?” she spoke

quietly all the glad light suddenly
oead in her.
“As If you didn’t know. You act
ike a stick, you refuse to have any
thing to do with any one, but the
minute Nick Fowler appears, you
come to life; you’re no longer a prig.
What kind of a woman are you, any
way?”
"I’m your wife, Tony, but one
would never think it.”
"My wife. One would never think
it. God knows why I marridd you,
I don’t. To think that I trusted you,
that I refused to believe what mother
was sure was right about you.”
“And what was that?”
“That you’re crazily in love with
the man. Why, everything points to
<t. I must have been blind not to
have seen it from the beginning.”
"Tony,* don't!” Charlotte reached
out and caught his arm. “You don’t
know what you’re saying, what you’re
accusing me of. I’ve never done
anything that would cause you to
lose faith in me. It’s simply that
Mr. Fowler is kind, he listens to
what I say; why he’s old, Tony, old.”
She clung to his arm convulsively,
as though begging him to take back
what he had said, but he shook her
off almost roughly.
