SAYS U. S. HAS MEDDLED TOO MUCH ABROAD Harding, Talking on Irish Question, Declares Private Sympathy is Distinct from Government Action. SAYS HE WT RESIGN MARION, O., Sept. 23. Declaring that the "Irish problem is not a question for official America to settle". Senator Harding declared today that In his opinion the Irish problem would be under the league of nations, a subject entirely domestic. Without directly referring to the Democratic promises to bring the Irish question to the notice of the league, the Republican candidate declared that "America already had meddled abroad excessively without Invitation," and said that "official consideration by the povernment was quite another thing from an expression of sympathy." Discusses Question Directly. The statement in which the Republican nominee discussed the Irish question directly for the first time, since his nomination, follows: "There are two phases of the socalled Irish question In America. Individual sentiment is one thing and it is recognized that there is a widespread sympathy here for the cause of Irish autonomy. "We voted on expression of that sympathy in the senate at the time the peace delegates were conferring in Paris. "Official consideration is quite another question. It is not a thing for official America. America has already meddled abroad excessively without invitation." Universal realization that material and humane progress must go hand in hand was asserted by Senator Harding today to be necessary if the nation is to attain an ideal state of social welfare. Betterment Should be Universal Speaking to a gathering composed of Republicans from Crawford county, Ohio, and of representatives of the Ohio Dental association, the Republican nominee declared that neither social reformers nor industrial chieftains should view the problems of social betterment from their own standpoint. - "We must awaken "the conscience of the ignorant and the misguided," he said, "to the fact that the best social welfare work in the world is the man or woman who does an honest day's work. "We must awaken their conscience to recognize thai American business is not a monster, but an expression of God-given impulse to create, and the saviour and guardian of our happiness, our homes, and of equal opportunity for all In America. "Whatever we do for honest, humane American business, we do in the name of social welfare. But it is equally true that we must awaken the conscience of American business to new interest in the welfare of American human beings. Must be Honest, Humane "It is not enough for Americe that her business and commerce shall be honest; they must also be humane. Men, women and children of America are not commodities. "American business cannot flourish nor the material prosperity of America be built upon a firm foundation until by protection of health, by education, by the preservation of wholesome American motherhood and vigorous and happy American childhood, we insure the welfare of our human resources. "We cannot have the fullness ol America until all of us turn again to love of toil and love of production, to respect for honest organization of effort and to a willingness to put all our shoulders to the wheel. Wants Love to Rule "But we cannot have all that love, and all that respect, and all that willingness, until throughout the organization of our industry and commerce there runs the flow of love of man." To quiet reports that he might soon resign his place in the senate, the senator said that he had no intention of resigning as long as the present Democratic state executive remained in power. The present Incumbent, Governor Cox, retires from office early in January, to be replaced by a governor to be named at the coming elections.

SAGINAW, Mich.. Sept. 23 There never was a campaign of such importance upon the results of which hung so many vital issues as the one now being conducted. United States Senator Charles E. Townsend of Michigan declared in an address opening the state Republican convention here today. The senator assailed the Democratic administration, the conduct of Governor Cox's campaign and the league of nations covenant. Senator Townsend paid a warm tribute to Senator Harding and Governor Coolidge. He's Not Real Reactionary. "The claim has been made," he said, "that Senator Harding is a reactionary. He may be slower than some to adopt a new or revolutionary Idea; he may be more orthodox on constitutioal observances; he may be reactionary when convinced that the new is wrong, and that the tried is better than the proposed, but he is always and uncompromisingly for the genuine good." The Republican standard bearers, he said, stand for "real Americanism. In urging the necessity for return to power of the Republican party. Senator Townsend declared that "political and business morality never before were at such low standards as now."
