ECONOMIC REIMBURSEMENT
AMERICAS PROBLEM.

So far as our domestic affairs are
concerned the problem Of our return
to peace is a problem of economic and
industrial readjustment- That prob
lem is less serious for US than it may
turn to be for the nations which
have suffered the disarrangements
and the losses Of war longer than we.
Our people, moreover, do not wait to
be coached and led. They know their
own business, are quick and resource
full at every readjustment, definite in
purpose and self reliant action. Any
leading strings we might seek to put
them in would speedily become hope
lessly tangled because they would pay
no attention to them and go their own
way. All that we can do as their
legislative and executive servants is to
mediate the process of change here,
there and elsewhere as we may. have

that should be formed and personally
