NEW HOPE

WORLD RECOVERING FROM WASTES AND SORROWS OF WAR PROMISING INTERNATIONAL PROSPECTS By Telegraph—Press Association—Oonyright (Rec. August 2, 5.5 p.m.) New York, August 1. At Plymouth, Massachusetts, President Harding, in a speech «t tho tercentenary celebrations of the landing of the Pilgrims, said: —“New hope looms today. We are slowly but surely recovering from the wastes, sorrows, and utter disarrangements of tho cataclysmic war. Peace is bringing its new assurances, and penitent realisation and insistent conscience will preserve that peace, ‘fur faith is firmer that the causes of ware may Ire minimised and overburdening armament may largely diminish, and these, too. without the surrender of the nationality which it inspired or the good conscience which it has defended. International prospects are more than promising, and the distress and depression at home are symptomatic of early recovers We are solvent financially, sound economically, unrivalled in genius, unexcelled in industry, and unwavering in faith. These United States will carry on tho community of free people of our race, whether in Europe or America, Africa or Australia, under northern or southern skies. That community was begun when Jamestown, and Plymouth were founded. ’We stand to-day before the unknown, but we look to the future with unshaken confidence. One outstanding danger to-day is the tendency to turn to Washington for things which are the task and duties of the forty-eight communities constituting the nation.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
