Washington.---The Inauagura Ad
dress of President Warren U. Harding
was as follows:
My countrymen--.When one surveys
the world about him after the great
storm, noting the marks of destruc
tion and yet rejoicing in the rugged
ness of the things which withstood
it, if he is an Anerican he breathes
the clarified attlnosphere with a strange
niinglii g of regret and new hope. We
have seen a world passion spend its
fury, but we conteinplat i a republec
lae1nb.ken nti held our civilization se
*ure. IJberfy---liberty within the law
-andi elvilization are itseparated, and,
though btth were threatetned, we find
thetm now secure; and there coies to
Anericans the profound assirance
that our representatlvo goverinent Is
the highest expression and surest
guaranty of both.
Standing in this presence, unindful
of the solemnity of this occasion, feel
ing the emotions which no ono may
know until he senses the great weight
of respionsibility for himnself, I must
titter ny belief in the divine inspira
tion of the fountding fathers. Surely
there must have been Gott's intent In
the ranking of this new world re
pubic. Ours Is an organic law which
had but one anbiguity, and we saw
that effneed In a baptism of saritice
and blood, with union tuinaiftined, the
nation suprenmo and its conconrd in
spiring. We have seen the worli rivet
its hopeful gaze on the great truths
on which the fountlers wrought. We
have seen civil, hunman and religious
liberty veritied a nid glirlld. in thei
beginning, the ol world scotTd at our
experiment ; today our ftoutitions of
politican and social belief stand un
shtaken, a precious iiiherita nc to our
selvws, nn inspiring exatuplh of free
dont and civilization to all mnnkind.
Let us express renew'ed anld s rengt h

to e1erthing we cherish and can havoe
no sanction by our republic. This is
not selfishness; it is sanctity. It is
not aloofness ; it is security. It is
not suspicion of others; it is patriotic
adherence to the things which made
,is what we are.
Today, better than ever before, we
know the aspirations of human kind
and share them. We have come to n
now realization of our place in the
world and new appraisal of our nation
by the world. The unselfishness of
these United States is a thing proven,
otr devotion to peace for ourselves and
for the world is well established, our
concern for preserved civilization has
had its impassioned and heroic expres
sion. There was no American failure
to resist the attempted reversion of civ
Ilization, there will be no failure today
or tomorrow.
Rests on Popular Wili
The success of our popular govern
aent rests- wholly upon the correct in
tau pretation of the dell>6rate. intelli
gent, tependable popular will of Amer
tea. In a deliberate questioning of a
sutggested change of national policy
where internationality was to super
cedo nationality we turned to a refer
endum to the American people. There
was ample diseision, and there is u
public mandate in nanifest under
standing.
America is ready to encourage, eager
to initiate, anxious to participate iu
nny seemly, program likely to lessen
the probability of war and promote
that brotherhood of mankind which
mtast be God's highest conception of
human relationship. Hecause we
che rsh Ideals of Justice and peace, be
cause we nppralse International comi
ty and helpful relationship no less
highly than any people of the world,
we aspire to a high place in moral
leadership of civilizatiotn, and we hold
maintained Amerlcu, the proven repub
Ile, the unshal.ou temple of representa
livo democracy, to be not only an in
spiration and example, but the highest
agency of strengthening [ood will and
prototing accord on both continents.
Mankind needs a world wale bene

birth of a new order. Such under

Trade Ties Bind Closely
We must understanl that ties of

and none tay receive except as he

ment, and revolution would be with
out the passion which engenders it ; a
regret for the mistakes of yesterday
must not, however, blind us to - the
tasks of today. War never left such
an aftermath, and there has been stag
gering loss of life and measureless
wastage of materials. Nations are
still groping for return to stable ways.
Discouraging indebtedness confronts
us like all the war-torn nations, and
these obligations must be provided for.
No civilization can survive repudia
