In It no man win honor who thinks of himself." Condemns Ship Owners. The president declared there must hut one price for the government for the public. Ho expressed con noe that business generally would found loyal to the last degree, and it the problem of wartime prices. lie declared will "mean victory defeat," will be solved rightly trough patriotic co-operation. In unmeasured terms, however, Mr. rilsoii condemned the ship owners of be Country for maintaining a schedule ocean freight rates which has ilared "almost Insuperable obstacles I the path of the government. President's Call. The president's statement follows: "Thegovernment is nbout to attempt ) determine the prices at which It rill ask you henceforth to furnish va suppllex which are necessary for [the prosecution of the war, and varl loDs materials which will be needed In p* Industries by which the war must Ibe sustained. We shall, of course, try [to determine them Justly and to the best advantage of the nation as a [Thole: but Jusifrp is easier to speak of than to arrive nt, and there are Isnmo considerations which I hope we keep steadily In mind while this (particular problem of Justice Is being worked our. Promises Just Price. "Therefore I take the liberty of statin? very candidly my own view of the situation and of the principles which should guide both the govern m^nt nti<l the mine owners and mnn ufacturers "f ihe country in this dif ficult matter. "A Just prico must, of cotirse, be paid f'T everything the government buys, By a just price I mean a price which will sustain the, industries con cernetl in a high state of efficiency, provide a living for those who con duct them, enable them to pay good wajres. a ii'l make possible the ex pansions of their enterprises which will from time to time become neces sary as itj,' stupendous undertakings ot this great war develop. Must Face the Facts. "We < Dulc| nut wisely or reasonably do lesv than pay such prices. They are necessary for the maintenance and development of industry, and the maintenance and development of In dustry are necessary for the great task we have in hand. "Ihii | trust that we shall not sur round the matter with a mist of sen timent. Facts are our masters now. We ought not to put the acceptance of such prices on the ground of patri otism." "Patriotism has nothing to do with profits mi a case like this. Patriotism and profits ought never in the present circumstances -be mentioned together. "It is perfectly proper to discuss ru'oflt< iix a matter of business, with a ?lew to maintaining the integrity of oapital and the efficiency of labor In these tragical months, when the llb Wy of free men everywhere and of industry itself trembles in the bal ance; hut It would be absurd to dis cuss them as a motive for helping to ?ervp ami save our country. "Patriotism leaves profits out of the Question, in these days of onr* su preme trial, when .we are sending bun-1 dml? of thousands of our young men across the seas to serve a great cause, uo true man who stays behind to *ork for them and sustain them by labor will ask himself what he is personally going to make out of that labor. No true patriot will permit himself tf> take toll of their heroism in money or seek to grow rich by the shedding ?f 'heir hl?w?(j. will give as freely Hr"' w''h as unstinted self-sacrifice as they. When they are giving their Np:". will he not at least give his money f Assails "Bribery." - ??* - 1 hpnr it insisted that more than price, more than a price that M sustain our industries, roust be Mi'l: tnat it is necessary to pay very . !ra' a''<' unusual profits In order to * irnuiMe' production; that nothing Ut Pecuniary rewards will do?re wards paid 1 ti money, not In the mer? liberation of the world. "I tnke ft for granted thnt those who argue thu^ do not $op to think what thai men UK. ,4I>o they mean I hit ( you must ho i paid, must bo bribed, to make your 1 contribution, a contribution that costs you neither a drop of blond nor a tear, when the whole world Is In travail and men everywhere depend upon and rail ! to you to bring them out of bondage j and make the world a lit place to live ; In again, amidst peace and justice? Appeals to Honor. MI>o they mean that you will exact j a price, drive a bargain, with the men j who are enduring the agony of this | war on the battlefields, In the trenches, amidst the lurking dangers of the sea, or with the bereaved women and piti ful children, before you will come for ward to do your duty and give some part of your life, In easy, peaceful fashion, for the things we are light ing for, the things we have pledged our fortunes, our lives, our sacred hon or to vindicate and defend?liberty and Justice and fair dealing and the j peace of nations? ?Of course you will not. It Is in conceivable. Your patriotism Is of the same self-denying stuff as the pa triotism of the men dead or maimed on the fields of France, or else it Is not patriotism at nil. Full Dollar's Worth. "Let us never speak, then, of profits and of patriotism In the same sen tence, but face facts and meet them. Let us do sound business, hut not In the midst of a mist. "Many a grievous burden of taxa tion will be laid on this nation, In this generation and In the next, to pay for this war; let us see to it that for every dollar that Is taken from the people's pockets It spall be possible to obtain a dollar's worth of the sound stuff they need. "Let me turn for a moment to the ship owners of the United States and the other ocean carriers whose ex ample they have followed, and ask them If they reallr.e what obstacles, what almost Insuperable obstncles. they hnve been putting In the way of the successful prosecution of this war by the ocean freight rates they hnve been exacting. ^ Making War a Failure. "They are doing everything thnt high freight charges can do to make the wnr n failure, to make It Impos sible. "I do not sny thnt they realize this or Intend it. The thing has happened nnturnlly enough because the commer elnl processes which we nre content to see operate In ordinary times hnve without sufficient thought been con tinued Into a period where they have no proper plnre. "I nm not questioning motives. I am merely stating n fact, and stilting it In order thnt attention may be fixed upon it. "The fact Is thnt those who hnve ?fixed wnr freight rntes hnve taken the most effective means in their power to defeat the nrinies engaged against Oer mnny. When they realize this we inny, I tnke it for granted, count upon them to reconsider the whole mutter. It Is high time. Their extrn hnr.nrds nre covered by war risk insurnnce. Warning Is Sounded. "I know, and you know, whnt re sponse to tills great challenge of duty and of opportunity the nation will ex pect of you; and I know what re sponse you will make. "Those who do not respond, who do not respond In the spirit of those who have pone to give their lives for us on bloody fields far away, may safely be left to be dealt with by opinion and the law?for the law must, of course, command those things. "I am dealing with the matter thus publicly and frankly, not because I hare any doubt or fear as to the result but only in order that In all our thinking and in all our dealings with one an other we may move In a perfectly clear air of mutual understanding. Must Have Same Price#. "And there is something more that we must add to our thinking. The public is now as much a part of the government as are the army and navy themselves; the whole people In all their activities are now mobilized and In service for the accomplishment of the nation's task In this war; it Is In such circumstances Impossible Just ly to distinguish between industrial purchases made by the government and Industrial purchases made by the managers of Industries, and it is Just as much our duty to sustain the Indus trials of the country with all the In dustries that contribute to its life as It Is to sustain our forces In the field and on the sea. Think Not of Self. "We must make prices to the pub lic the same as the prices to the gov ernment. Prices mean the same thing everywhere now. Th<jy mean the effi ciency or the Inefficiency of the na tion, whether It Is the govertrrftent that pays them or not. They mean victory or defeat. They mean that America will win her place once for all among the foremost free nations of the world or that she wlfl sink to defeat and be come n second-rate power alike In thought and in action. This is a day of her reckoning and every man among us must personally face that reckoning along with her. "The case needs no arguing. I as sume that I am only expressing your own thoughts?what must be In the mind of every true man when he faces the tragedy and the solemn glrtry of the present war, for the emancipation Of mankind. v "I summon you to a great duty, a J great privilege, a shining dignity and distinction. I shall expect every man j who Is not a slacker to be at my side throughout this great -enterprise. In it no man can win honor who think* of himself.** NOTICE TO DEBTOBS All parties indebted I??
