POLICY IN AMERICA.

PROHIBITION TO BE ENFORCED. FOREIGN RELATIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received July 5, 8.10 p.m. New York, July 4. In his speech at Marion, President Harding expressed determination to enforce prohibition. He said: “The eighteenth amendment denies to the minority their fancied sense of personal liberty, but the amendment is the will of America and must be sustained by the Government and public opinion, else contempt for the law will undermine our very foundation.” The President, referring to foreign relations, said: “All is well with our international relations. They are secured to-day with more assuring prospects of peace than ever before in the history .of the Republic. New guarantees have recently been added by the very process of exchanging viewpoints and bringing the spokesmen of the great nations to the conferenc table, where they resolved to do together those finer and nobler things which no one nation could do alone. We cannot be aloof from the -world, but we can impress the world with American ideals. Even Russia, towards whom we maintain an attitude of aloofness save in sympathy, looks upon America as a friend and exemplar.”—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
