PRESIDENT STUDIES DOMESTIC POLICY BY GEORGE R. HOLMES I. N. S. Staff Correspondent AGUSTA, April 7.—Grave as may be European affairs, Pres. Harding is more concerned today with domestic policy than with the untangling of world disorders; and it is upon these questions of domestic concern that he will lay the foundation of the speechmaking tour which he will make thru the west in mid-summer. "Our first concern is domestic affairs," Mr. Harding declared to a representative group of southerners in the only public address he has made in weeks. "We need not worry about international relations; I think I can assure you they were never bitter. We are not so involved in foreign affairs as some would have us believe. "It will be the verdict of Europe that the United States is the most just nation in the world; and justice my friends, is the most that is talked about by even God Almighty Himself. President Harding spoke after midnight, following a number of orators who compared him to William McKinley and lauded his administration as being "Fair to the South." The President did not go into details as to what matters of domestic concern he considered more important than the tangled state of foreign affairs but it is known that taxation, railroad regulation, agriculture recovery, business prosperity and kindred matters will provide the major part of his theme on the western trip. It is likely, too, that Mr. Harding will carry the issue presented by the farm bloc and other blocs in congress straight into the part of "the country from which they sprang. "There is a menace in cultivation of class in this country", the President declared; "There is a menace in the growth of the blocs. Let us be on guard against the promotion of jealousy and envy created by the class consciousness." Mr. Harding will leave Augusta tonight by special train, Washington Sunday noon.
