ge
Disappointment in Berlin and cordial approval in London and Paris are among the sig
nificant foreign reactions to the President's first message to Congress. At home a majority of
the papers applaud his program, yet a few sharply dissentient voices are heard.
The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week, April 23d, quotes a large
variety of opinions from the press of the country on this question. The New York World regards
the peace plan outlined by Mr. Harding as "a miserable makeshift that no President would ever
adopt of his own initiative," and the Louisville Courier-Journal characterizes his proposed "asso
ciation of nations for 'world peace" as a "toothless whatnot with no power to promote peace
except to talk about it," while the Philadelphia Ledger considers it "woefully incomplete" and "a '
negative rather than a positive policy." On the-other , hand the Providence Journal praises the
message for its "prevailing note of lofty Americanism," the Cleveland Plain Dealer avers that
"granting the President's point of view, which appears also to be the point of view of the ma
jority of Americans, his program can not well be challenged," and, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
feels that he "has opened a new way to the solution of the problem of our international relations." -

says: "I believe THE LITERARY DIGEST is doing a valuable service for the Nation. The greatest
difficulty I have is to secure the benefit of current discussion of public questions in the limited time'
at my command. THE DIGEST is the most helpful agency at my command for this purpose."
