No Fairy Godmother Wand for Harding
President Harding rejects the notion that the United States can wave a magic wand to end European reparations. He insists Washington will not propose relief or interventions in Europe until proposals are sought, and will not push world economic or peace conferences amid the current reparations mess. The White House asserts U.S. voice comes only when asked, and condemns unilateral coercive demands on Germany or France.

High rates discouraged some shipments while aiding agricultural product movement. States distant from markets should focus on local production and ship concentrated goods like butter and wool.
