RECOVERY FROSH WAR.

NEW HOPE FOE WORLD. THE DESTINY OF AMERICA. REDUCING WAR’S CAUSES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received August 2, 5.5 p.m. New York, August 1. At Plymouth, Massachusetts, President ‘Harding, in a speech at the tercentenary celebrations of the landing of the Pilgrims, said: “A new hope appears to-day. | We are slowly but surely recovering from j the wastes, sorrows and utter disarrange- • meats of the cataclysmic war. Peace is , bringing its ew assurances and penitent j realisation and insistent conscience will pre- , serve that peace, and our faith is firmer | that war’s causes may be minimised and iover-burdening armament may largely diminish, and these, too, without the sur- ; render of nationality, which it inspired, ■ or good conscience, which it has defended. | “The international prospects are more than promising, and the distress and depression at home are symptomatic of an early recovery. We are solvent financially, sound economically, unrivalled in i genius, unexcelled in industry and unwavering in faith. These United States will carry on the Community of the 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. The one outstanding danger to-day is a tendency to turn to Washington, for the things which are the task and duties of the forty-eight communities constituting the nation.—A’is. N.Z. Cable Assn.
