"1 care nothing about editorial crit icism directed against the Individual,'* (he president said in leading up to his reference to Ihe International court. "But I read within 4S hours a very earnest editorial, wherein it was stat ed that the recent proposal of the ex ecutive to the senate that we adhere to the International court of justice was imposed upon the executive by the influence and the design of the international bankers, Well, there isn't a word of truth In it and I want to tell this to you because it will en large your vision and enable you to comment sometimes a little more sat isfactorily. "I have been president something more than two years. I have yet to be asked for an audience or inter view by a single international bank er in America or elsewhere. And the only exchange of opinions between in ternational hankers and the president of the I’nited States hnve been at the request of the president, and it is fair to say that in the instances when they have been summoned they have said, with just the same patriotic In terest and devotion that you would lay, 'Mr. President, we are at your service in any way you wish to com mand us,’ It is fair to tell you that when publishers and editors say, with seeming sincerity and great emphasis, that the government is being led astray at the behest cr design of the bankers, there isn't a grain of truth to justify the statement." Mr. Harding praised a code of eth ics adopted by the editors, saying, "There never was a time when a fit ting code of ethics was so essential to the press of America."
