v Our New Foreign Policy Of all the changes that eventually will take pface in Washington after the inauguration of

President-elect Harding, none will be of greater

importance to the American people than his policy toward foreign affairs. In his own campaign

speeches Mr. Harding said he would return to

the traditional policy of America, which is based

on the theory of defending and preserving

American rights abroad and of refraining from interfering with the controversies of European countries. , Traditionally the American foreign policy has operated on the assumption that our vast territorial expanse, with the varying interests that arise therefrom, give us enough domestic problems without forcing on us an alleged humanitarian interest in the affairs of European people. Consequently, we have in the past paid no attention to the merits of European controversies.Neither have we believed it our duty to mankind to determine the form of government for a European country, -or to designate its territorial confines. These questions, we have maintained, are not within the sphere of our foreign policy, so long as 'they do not interfere with legitimate 'American rights. And as a result of that policy, our national treasury has not been depleted in fighting other people's wars, and the blood of our young men has not been spilled in behalf of other nations. The only exception being the World war, sufficient provocation for which existed after the .sinking of the Lusitania and the discovery of German plots against the lives and property of our citizens in this country. The Wilsonian theory that America has a humanitarian call to safeguard the peace of the vvorld and to help determine the destiny of European countries was in its essence alien to our national conception of our own destiny and in opposition to the traditional principles of our foreign policy. How deep-seated is our national opposition to the Wilsonian theory of our foreign policy wa3 accurately measured by the election Tuesday, in

which the American people held a referendum on that very question undoubtedly the major issue of the campaign. President-elect Harding, therefore, will have the united sentiment of the American people supporting his announced foreign policy, and assuring him through the large number of Republicans elected to congress that they have absolute faith both in his conception of our relation to foreign nations and in the soundness of the traditional policy of the American government in this respect. America in the past was a powerful factor in international affairs, primarily because it refrained from interfering with petty European squabbles and proclaimed to all the world that this country was a haven for the oppressed people of the world, and that , this government existed solely to represent the will of its people, expressed by the representatives it had elected to office. Never did our foreign policy pretend to believe that it was within our province to enforce our form of government on another nation or to dictate its acceptance. By its very aloofness and silence it proclaimed more effectively ' than through the dictates of a league of nations the excellence of our republican form of government and the soundness of our theory that every nation on the globe must work out its own destiny, on its own soil, and through its own people. No super-government, Imposed by a league, it believed, could do that. Only a free people, of its own accord, and imbued with the principles of liberty, justice and freedom could effectively bring it about. By confining our attention, to our domestic affairs and declining to participate in secret diplomacy, or to make or threaten war for territorial or .commercial aggrandizement, America stood as an example of international integrity that was admired and respected the world over. We were truly the haven of the weak and defenseless, the champion of the downtrodden and oppressed, for our very government carried out in actual practice what our constitution laid down as a guiding principle. The American people demonstrated Tuesday that this shall continue to be our policy. They elected Mr. Harding to office, knowing full well that he stands for that policy and that henceforth there shall be no effort to entangle our national destiny with those of European countries which for centuries and centuries have been involved in war and implicated in the mazes of a diplomatic standard which has not and cannot receive the sanction and support of the American people.

'- ! Answers to Questions

Reader How did cigarette fad start? Cigarettes began their fashionable career In London about 40 years ago. Their vogue in this country was later. The Occident happened to discover the cigarette when former King Edward, then prince of Wales, went out to India on the Serapis in 1878 and stopped at Alexandria on the way. Up to that flme the prince had smoked only cigars, an,d fashionable London had followed his example. At Alexandria he happened to sample the cigarettes of the country and became converted to their charm. When the journey to India was over the prince dropped in at the establishment where he purchased his smoking supplies and told the head of the house ihat at Alexandria he had smoked Egyptian cigarettes and that he would fain repeat the experience in London. In order to gratify this desire the firm was obliged to send to Egypt to fill the order. No Egyptian manufacturer of cigarettes was known in London, so the order was sent to Shepheard's hotel with a request to have it filled somewhere. As a result fifty thousand cigarettes of only fair quality were received by the English firm, and the prince took his share of them. When it became known that Edward was smoking cigarettes everybody else wanted to follow suit. Readers may obtain answers ti questions by rlt!nR tbe Palladium Questions and . Answers department.

VICTORY. We're feeling well and hearty, and peace is in our souls; the FarmerLabor party has triumphed at the polls; and Parley, standard bearer, will fill the White House chair, and bring a reign of terror to traitors everywhere. The Wall Street barons hissed him, hissed Parley, safe and sane, the plutocrats dismissed him with snorts of high disdain, and all the hosts of treason said thpy would knock him cold; but oh, there wore vb fleas on our standard bearer bold He came from Salt Lake City, the home of Brigham Young, and he was wise and witty and had a fluent tongue. Hie farmer left his barley, in manner circumspect, to vote for good old Farley, our President-elect. And Pefer Mike and Charley, the toilers, plied tlicir feet, to vote for good old Parley who takes the Woodrow seat. Oh' tome, were sure that Harding would harvest Wilson's socks, ard some made claims regarding my old friend Jimmie Cox. And some grew sore and snarley, defending Warr'n or Jim. but I

THE UNIVERSAL FATHERHOOD God is here and now not sometime or somewhere!

Dinner Stories

A certain caddie, although ordinarily his speech was quite normal, was apt to stammer badly when excited or surprised. One day he was carrying for a wellknown player, who on arriving on the seventh hole a particularly difficult cne remarked: "I did this hole in three the other Jay." "What?" ejaculated the caddie. "Well, sir, all I can say is that you are a 1-1-1-1 " Steady, boy. steady!" interrupted the player, reprovingly. "You're a 1-1-1-lucky. man. sir," concluded the stammering caddie.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

We have been reading recently a great deal of newspaper matter concerning the frugal habits of certain gentlemen who are in the public eye in one way or another. We read for instance, Ihaf-Mr. J. Ogden Armour, a poor man out in Chicago, makes. one. pair of shoes last two years. . Also Governor Frank Lowden makes an overcoat last two years. Also Governor Calvin Coolidge hasn't bought a suit of clothes in two years. There are many other cases of the sort. We feel that. In spite of our inherent modesty, we should take advantage of this opportunity to show these gentlemen up. We have beaten the records of all three in every department named by them. Although we are very rich we believe in setting a
