A. worker; addressing the Rotary club at noon s Tuesday. Mr. ..Elliott has been engaged in work in China for 14 years. ' ."China wants the help and co-operation of America. Gentlemen, it is . not only a compliment; it is a responsibility. One of the reasons China is 'looking to America is because America does not own a foot of Chinese feretory.. Portions of her land are con-troled-by France. Great Britain, and other European countries. Another reason is that at the time , of the Boxer revolution. America, with other countries, helped , in putting it down, but it finally rested with China to pay huge indemnities. The por- ' tlon given to America was returned by our country.' They sent a special ambassador here to thank us. "IJVant America to 'begin to have

sympathy, .for China, for she in facing ireat problems. Her education, 'transportation and' finances are all overwherming questions. .

Mr. Elliott said that the Chinese .students In this country would be the " province governors of the future, and suggested that Americans cultivate their friendship. His address was full of powerful appeal. FITZGERALD TO HEAD RAILWAY CLERK UNION FOR UNEXPIRED TERM (By Associated Press) "CINCINNATI. April 26 Following the formal " resignation of J. J.

HARDING ASKS PAPERS TO CONTINUE MOTIVES INSPIRED DURING WAR (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, April 26. A letter from President Harding bespeaking a continuance of the lofty motives that inspired American newspapers during the war was read today at the annual luncheon of Th Associated Press at the Waldorf-Astoria. , Regretting that he could not yield to the temptation to play truant and attend the luncheon of fellow publishers, he also expressed the hope that the administration would be able to deserve and retain the lavish measure of good will and confidence accorded it thus far. Frank B. Noyes, president of The Associated Press, in behalf of the gathering, pledged support and sympathy to President Harding in the great tasks he is confronting, and gave the only toast offered on this occasion : "The president of the United States." The guest of honor of the luncheon, which was held in connection with the annual meeting, was John W. Davis, formerly ambassador to Great Britain, who made his first appearance before the members as general counsel for The Associated Press. Remarking that editorial comment was secondary to the news column in influence upon public opinion, he congratulated The Associated Press because, by the general verdict of mankind, it has performed its duty without bias, without prejudice and without partisanship, and in an earnest pursuit of the truth where it might be found. Foreseeing that foreign policy must become the most important factor in our national life, he said it could be based only upon information transmitted with exactness. In this connection he gave personal views without, he said, desiring to arouse controversy. He suggested that the constitutional requirement of a two-thirds vote in the senate to ratify be abrogated in favor of a majority vote and that diplomatic and consular agents by compensated adequately.

(By Associated Press) BUENOS AIRES. April 26. The newspapers here in their comment on President Harding's address at the Bolivar celebration, in New York seize upon what. they characterize as tha apparent contradiction between the desires of the United States to cement

unity among all the countries of the American continent and her protection policy, as expressed in the pending emergency tariff legislation. Closer relations between South and Central America and North America are both natural and desirable, declare the commentators, bnt the erection of a tariff wall by the United States .would not only prevent the developments this desire, but would go far toward making it impossible of realization, they insist. While South America, says La Hazon, sings the Pan-American chorus, "the United States, which is the solo 1st, is singing a very different song." It thinks the achievements alon-j commercial and moral lines of the past few years towards making Ihe ideal a practical reality are in -danger of destructicn as the result of legislation ! which, it predicts, would bar South America to a large extent from the United States market. Regrets Action. La Nacion praises "thf evident sincerity of President Harding's idas.'" but regrets that his party has seen fit to take steps that it predicts will have consequences "which to say the lea3t would lessen tbe favorable feeling for a greater union and more intimate relations between the peoples of America. "They must have powerful motives for this," the newspaper adds, "but it is certain that the United States has stepped slightly aside from the uniform, co-ordinate, onward march of the peoples of America."

MARTHA WASHINGTON UNLOADING HANGS FIRE (By Associated Press) BUENOS AYRES, April 26. Immediate resumption of conferences between United States consular and embassy officials and the Argentine government relative to the lifting of the boycott against the Munson liner Mar-1 tha Washington is not anticipated in this city. Efforts on the part of the American representatives to induce the government to nullify the dock i workers' boycott or to require union labor to unload the vessel have been futile. The only solution offered by the Argentine government is mediation between the dock workers' union and the American consulate, which plan has been categorically rejected by the consulate. Reports from Washington, indicating that an impression exists there that difficulties will soon be cleared away, have caused surprise in this city. Advices from the American capital stating that Argentine had referred the controversy to a conciliation board were mystifying here, as it Is not known that such a board is in existence. Rejection by American officials of any form of conciliation or mediation is considered as precluding reference of the case to any such organization as the conciliation board.
