01 undemanding and good will, not
only binding north and aouth in
closer union, but brinama- all the na
liont of the world Into co-opcrition
and enduring amity wai preached by
rrcsidcnt Harding today in an ad
dren here, outlining some of hii
conceptiona of the coming armament
conference.
Speaking at the atatue of Henry
W. Grady, southern apoitle of national
reunion, the president declared Amer
ica would enter the conference to
imbued with the desire for interna
tional friendship that the blame must
rest elsewhere should the negotia
tiont for reduction of armament re
suit in failure.
"I believe it wholly consistent,'
the president said, "to preach peace
and its triumphs in that convincing
sincerity which an unselfish nation
commands and yet make sure about
our proper defense.
Tribute to Roosevelt.
With his praise of Grady, the ores!
dent coupled a tribute to Theodore
Roosevelt, of whose Georgia lineage,
he declared, the whole south should
be proud. The address follows in
part: .
"To come to Georgia, is to come
to the heart of the south. To come
to Georgia on this, of all days cf the
year, the birthday of Roosevelt, is to
realize that the heart of the south
throbs for all the nation.
So it is good in greeting you
men and women of Georgia, to re
call the career of that outstanding
American who, in his life as in his
lineage, taught us how much we are
prospered and exalted because of be
ing united. And.coming thus among
you, it is particularly a satisfaction to
speak from the shadow of the shaft
which you have reared to the mem'
ory of one who taught a reunited na
tion its duties, its obligations, its
possibilities.
"I recall the thrill with which I
read, as a young man, the address
of Henry W. Grady to the New fcng
land club: that most famous ora
tion, I think, of its generation; that
inspiring call to a nation to awaken
to itself, to understand that yester
day was dead, its tomorrow pregnant
with magnificent opportunities.
..Little Hatred Shown.
The other day there came into
my hands a volume of the letters of
a group of eminent Georgians of the
civil war and reconstruction period.
In the main they represented the
correspondence of Alexander H. Ste
phens. Howell Cobb, Robert Toombs
and Governor Joe Brown. Especial
ly, was I interested in the extensive
correspondence between these south.
ern leaders and prominent men of
the north, which was carried on at
that period. It was nothing less than
astonishing to note how little of bit
terness, of resentment, of hatred and
recalcitrance was manifested . on
either side. They were all back in the
harness, working for -the restoration
of their state, their people, their pre
served country.
. MA' ... amtl-Aa at av
migrant from the north than oU irom
Europe,", wrote, one, and he urged his
northern friend to make the north
ern people understand how welcome
they would be. Not even the unre
constructible hatred of old Thad
Stevens could maintain an effective
front against such appeals as that.
The north did come to you with
olive branch instead of sword and
you went to the north and west
and became full partners in making
that new empire which, together
we carved out of the transmissouri
wilderness, and now truly, there can
be described no sectional division
of this land.
Example for World.
'Tt has seemed to me, many times
in the period since the world war
ended, that the world at large might
well let us show the marvel which
was wrought through a reunited and
restored America. ' ..
"I believe that every family which
has lost a member in the struggle
to ' save mankind from , absolutism,
every citizen-soldier who has given
years and sufferings to that cause,
every gold star mother or maimed
veteran will agree that peace is pref
erable to war and that to train a
world in the ways of peace is bet
ter than to prepare it for war. I ,
would not have you misconstrue,
believe it wholly consistent to ores
peace and its triumphs in that con.
vincing sincerity which an unselfish
nation commands and yet make sure
aoout our proper defense.
"Manifestly, mankind is dispose
to try that experiment. If trvine it
nations shall fail, it will be no fault
of the United States of America. Our
own experience has taught ui that
wt may hope that a like decision will
be reached by a world reasoning
amid the convictions which follow
in the wake of tragedy supreme,

Japan Willing to
Cut Down Navy
If Powers Agree
Japan! Naval Minuter An
nouncet Policy on Board
Ship to U. S. Wash
ington Pleased.
Aboard Steamship Ka.hima Maru,
Oct 26. (By Radio to The Alio
ciated Press.) Japan stands ready
to cut down its navy if the powers
reach an understanding at the forth
coming conference at Washington
on limitation of armament! and Far
Eastern questions, according to Vice
Admiral Tomosaburo Kato. mem
ber of the Japanese delegation to
Washington, which I traveling to
America aboard this ship.
The vice admiral, who is Japan's
naval minister, made this statement
m an address to the passengers
aboard.
He declared that although he had
been criticised as the man responsi
ble for Japan's eight-and-eight naval
building program and therefore loath
to undo his work, yet nothing was
farther from the truth.
Vice Admiral Kato asserted that
his position had been clearly out
lined in an interview given to The
Associated Press at Tokio last year
and he made the claim that Japan
was the first of the powers to defin
itely set a limit to which it was will
ing to cut its navy,
On the other hand, the Japanese
delegate said, if no national accord
is reached at Washington, Japan
would not and could not. curtail her
navy program a single inch.
He said that he regarded the ques
tion of limitation of armament as
(he paramount question to be dis
cussed at Washington and that the
Far Eastern questions, although im
portant, were secondary to the arma'
ment problem.
Washington Pleased.
Washington. Oct. 7. Manifest
satisfaction was expressed today at
the State department with such ex
pressions in regard to the Wash
ington conference on arms limitation
and Pacific problems as have been
made public by the Japanese offi
cials already arrived and by mem
bers of delegations enroute to the
U. S. or soon to leave for Wash
ington. The expressions, it was said,
were regarded here as going far to
ward assuring in advance, a large
measure of success to the confer-ence.
It was also made clear today that
there is no purpose on the part of
the Washington government to ex
tend the scop of the discussion
beyond what has been mapped out in
the agenda. -The
purpose of the major confer
ence is to clear the way for an agree
ment as to limitation of national
armaments and it is intended to hew
to the line of this purpose as closely
as possible.
It may be said authoritatively that
