We must understand that ties of'ade bind nations in closest intimacy j nd none may receive except as he | Ives.' We "have not strengthened tr.c>" in accordance with., our resource r . our ..genius, notably on our awn ontirient, 'Where a galaxy of reubiics reflect the" jylory'of'new warid embcrkcy.' but' in the'* now" order of ; nahce : a'ridj-trade wo^haean- to pro- . ?aote j-ehlarged v jactlv^tles and ' seek xparided'cbfifidence.' "" Perhaps we. can ^ make no more' lelpful' contribution fty example than prove1.a. republic's capacity to einerge from the wreckage .'war. While' the world's ettibittered^travail did' not ' leave us ilSvait'ed tends "and desolated; cities, left rio^aplng''woknds, no breast'with' hate, it'.'did involve "us in the delirium of expenditure, In expanded currency and' credits, in unbalanced ' iridii^try, in hnspeakable -waste arid distiifbed1"' * relationships. While it uncovered our portion of hateful selfishness' *at hoirie, it also revealed the heart of America as sound' and fearless' anil.beating'In confidence unfailing:. Amid it ail. We have r'ivited the gaze of all civilization to the unselfishness and the righteousness of representative democracy, where our freedom never'Had rriade. offensive warfare,' never has sought' territorial^aggrandizement to^th'e arbitrament of arms until reason had been exhausted. When the' governments of eafcth shall have established a freedom like our own and shall have sanctioned the pursuit ,of peace as we baW practiced it, I believe the last sorrow and the final sacrifice of international warfare will have been written. ' Tlje Supreme Task. Our supreme task is . the resumption of our onward normal "Way. "Reconstruction, readjustment, r&stefation? all these must follow. 1 would like to thom Tf it will-lkrhtbn the sotrit and add to the resolution with which we take up our task, let me' repeat for our nation, we shall give'no* people just cause to make war upon us. We hold no national prejudices, we entertain no spirit of revenge, we do not hate, we'dd not odvot, we dream of no conquest, nor boast of armed progress. If, despite this attitude, war is again forced upon us, I earnestly hope a way may be found, which will unify our individual iind collective strength and concentrate all America, materially and spiritually, body and soul," to national defense. I can vision the ideal republic where every man and woman is called under the'flag for assignment to duty, for whatever service, military or c-ivlc, the individual is best fitted, where we may call to universal service every plant, agency or facility, all in the sublime sacrifice for country and 4m>t one penny for war prom snaii mure to the benefit of private individual, corporation and combination, but all abovt the normal shall flow into the defense chest of the nation. There is something inherently wrong, something oul of accord with the ideals of representative democracy when one portion of oui citizenship turns its activity to privatt gain amid defensive war while anothei is fighting, sacrificing or dj'ing for national preservation. Unity of Spirit and Purpose. Out of much universal service wil come a new unity Of spirit and purpose a new confidence and conseeratior which .would make our defense Impregnable,-our triumph assured. Then w< should' have little or no disorganizatiot of-our economic, .industrial and com mercial systems at home, no staggering ' VUt MVitl> ? . If revolution insisPs upon overturni ng established order let other people make the tragic experiment. There is no place for it in America. When world . war threatened civilization we pledged our resources and ourvlives to its pres ervation and when revolution threatens : we unfurl the flag of law and order and renew our consecration. Ours is a constitutional freedom where the popular will is the law supreme arid minorities are sacredly protected. Our re1 j visions, reformation and evolutions re, j fleet a deliberate judgment and in or1 j derly progress and we mean to cure out I ills but never destroy or permit de? j structinn by force. if 1 would rather submit our industria - j controversies to the conference table ii ?]advance than to a settlement tabic'aft that social, industrial and economic justice will be squared with the purposes of a-righteous people. > With the nationwide induction of womanhood into our political life, we may count upon her intuitl'ons, her refinement, her intelligence and her influence to exalt the social order. We cgunt upon her exercise of the full priv-, ileges and the performance of the duties of citizenship to Speed the attainment of the highest state. - *' Prayer for Industrial Peace. I wjsh for an America ho less alert in guarding against dangers from within than it ifj watchful against' enemies from, without. Our fundamental law recognizes no. class, no'group, no section. There mustbe-none in legislation or administration. The supreme inspiration'ls th'e common weal. Humanity hungers^ for international peace and we crave it with all mankind. 'My most fervent prayer for America is for industrial peace with its rewards, widely and generally distributed amid the inspirations of equal opportunity. No'one justly may deny the equality of opportunity which made us what ,we are. We jhave mistaken unpreparedness to embrace it to be a challenge of the reality; and due concern for makT ing alb citizens'fit for participation will I give added strength of citizenship and I ........jr.. ...... unlunvnnipnt. lies in efficient uamiiiisiruiiun ui um proven system. : From Destruction to Production. The forward course Of the business cycle is unmistakable. People are turning from destruction to production. Industry has' sensed the changed order and our own people are turning to resume their normal onward way. The call is for prodQctive America to go on. j I know -that congress'and the adminishtra'tipn will favor 'every wise government policy, to aid the resumption and encourage continued progress. I speak for administrative efficiency, for lightened tax burdens, for sound commercial practice, for adequate credit facilities, for'sympathetic concern for all agricultural problems for theommission of unnecessary interference of government with .business, for an end to government's experiments in business and for more efficient business in government administration." "With all bf this must attend, a mindfulness nf thp human side of all activities so (tent to,aonormai aeinanua, wuuimumtions and pri'ce upheavals. 'The formal balances'have been Impaired, the channels of distribution' hayC'-be'en, clogged, the relations of labor and manage: mcnt'/have been strained;.'" We-must seek the readjustment with care and courage. Our people must give arid take. Prices must reflect the receding fever of her activities. Perhaps we never shall know the old levels of wage, again because war invariably read- J justs compensations and the,, necessaries of life will, show their inseparable relationship but we must strive for" normalcy to reach stability. All these penalties will not be light or eveniy. distributed* There is iio way of making them so. There is no instant step from disorder to order. We must face a condition of grim realty, charge off our losses and start afresh. It is the oldest lesson of civilization. 1 would like government to'do all it can to mitigate them.

Failure of Nominations. Several thousand nominations sub! mittcd by President Wilson, including j about 1,500 postmasters and 11 major . general and brigadier generals, alsn ' : were left to die in the senate. All of ; the unenricted hills must bo reintroduc| ed and reconsidered anew in the next glod with routine business. In the senate the. novy hill, long since given up as lost, remained as urifinished business t'? the last. In the house adjournment carrie after two hours of speech making on the record of the boys' achievements, with Republicans and Detnocrats in dispute. Money Matters Discussed. Statements regarding appropriations, presented in both branches, showed a total appropriation during the congress of about $8,240,000,000, of which about $3,500,00(7,000 was made during the last sesslbn. In the house wrangle over the money records, the Republicans claimed great economies?a saving of $3,000,000,000, according to Representative Mor.deli?but the Democrats asserted that no real economy had been achieved. Prominent among measures which died with the congress were the Knox peace resolution, the soldiers' bonus bill, the Calder qoal regulation bill and the packer control bill. Other importan* measures which failed included tho.,c providing for establishment of a budget system; for reapportionment of congress: for reorganization of tiie patent office: for co first bilsin'ass of the new senate, which is expected to Continue ItsrJsessions through'next week'and then .adjourn Until ihe extra session of the SLvtyseventh Congress Is called; ; Only.:'ofcie senator-elect, Peter No'rbeck of South Dakota., failed to' respond 'to'his "name last Friday. > After the ceremonies attendant on the inauguration of President Harding, the new senate again assembled, rej reived personally from the new chief ' xeeutive his cabinet appointments and | confirmed their nominaUbns: The I g/eaily increased Republican majority ia the new senate compelled rearrange- j .meats of seating.

There were three sessions of the Six, ty-sixtli congress. The first, an extra i ordinary one called by President Wil| son by cable from Paris after failure of some of the big appropriation measures in the preceding congress, met on May 19, 1919, and continued just six months, to November 19. The second session,, a regular one, began on December 1. 1919, and continued to June 3, 1920, ending just before the national political conventions. The third and. final session began last December U. Including the sessions during the war and earlier, congress had" been sitting virtually in continuous session for a. decade. Long Treaty Debate.
