AF1ER-WAR ISSUES,
conference TOPIC
Indiana Is First State TO
Take Up Reconstruction
Problems. il
WARNINGS ARE SOUNDED

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November 90.
I'm an address complimenting the
people of Indiana for their splendid
cooperation in prosecuting the states
war program and forecasting the
states problems in the period of re-
construction and readjustment that is
just beginning, Gov. James H. Good
rich today opened the first conference
thus far held IN this country on the
subject Of reconstruction.
The conference, which was held in
the chamber of the House of Rep
resentatives was attended by repre-
sentatives of every major interest
affected by the warIabor, agricul-
ture. business health, education,
finance, religion and social welfare.
The governors address forecast the
organization of a reconstruction COM
mission to be composed of repre-
sentatiyes of all interests necessary
in working out the states problems
at this time.
For Domestic Reconstruction.
while absorbing world problems
are before US we must not fail to give
heed to the immediate and future de-
Inands of our domestic affairs" said
Gov. Goodrich. The demand is now
for the patriotism of peace. the serv-
ice and sacrifice OF all citizens in an
endeavor to adjust our affairs to meet
new conditions before u.s.
Gov. Goodrich sounded warning
against the present tendency at Wash
ington to retain power centered there
for the prosecution Of the war. On the
other hand, he warned against the
renunciation of centralized authority
effected for war purposes where it is
clearly apparent that this centralized
authority may well be used in the
era of peace that is to follow the war.
To Find Work for Soldiers.
The governor expressed the opinion
that the absorption of men from the
training camps and Army soon to be
demobilized is not a serious problem.
He suggested the appointment of a
state commission on reconstruction
and readjustment to serve without pay
and which would be authorized to in
vestigate all matters considered i'm
portant at this time. He said definite
program ought to be worked out prior
to the meeting of the legislature SO
that If legislation is necessary it can
be presented.
