Harness Taken Off When
Armistice Was First Signed

"But the moment we knew the ar
mistice to have been signed we took
the harness off. Raw materials upon
which the government had kept its
hand for fear there should not be
enough for the industries that sup
piled the armies have been released
and put into the general market again.
Great industrial plants, whose whole
output and machinery had been taken
over for the uses of the government,
have been set free to return to the
uses to which they were put before
the war. 1t has not been possible
to remove so readily or so quickly the
control Of foodstuffs and of shipping,
because the world has still to be fed
from our granaries and the ships are
still needed to SEND supplies to our
men overseas and to bring the men
back as fast as the disturbed condi-
tions on the other side Of the water
permit; but even these restraints are

must be studied, studied Immediately,
and studied without bias or prejudice.
Nothing can be gained by becoming
partisans of any particular plan of
settlement.
1T was necessary that the admins
tration of the railways should be taken
over by the government so long as the
war lasted. 1t would have been i'm
possible otherwise to establish and
CARY through under single direction
the necessary priorities of shipment.
1t would have been impossible other
wise to combine maximum production
at the factories and mines and farms
with the maximum possible car supply
to take the products to the ports and
markets; impossible to route troop
shipments and freight shipments
without regard to the advantage or
disadvantage of the roads employed:
impossible to subordinate when neces-
sary, all questions of convenience to
the public necessity; impossible to give
the necessary financial support to the
ROADS 4om the public treasury. But
all these necessities have now been
served, and the question is, what is
best for the railroads and for the pub
lie in the future.

Must Find Places for All
Who Faced Death for U. S.

"Thc American business man is of
quick initiative. The ordinary and
normal processes of private initiative
will not, however, provide immediate
employment for all of the men of our
returning armies. Those who are of
trained capacity, those who are skilled
workmen, those who have acquired
familiarity with established businesses,
those who are ready and willing to
go to the farms, all those whose anti
tudes are known or will be sought out
by employers, will find no difficulty,
1t is safe to say, in finding place and
employment. But there will be others
who Will be at loss where to gain a
livelihood unless pains are taken to
guide them and put them in the way
of work.
here will be large floating resid-
uum of labor, which should not be
left wholly to shift for itself. It
seems to me important, therefore
that the development of public works
OF every sort should be promptly re-
sumed in order that opportunities
should be created for unskilled labor
In particular, and that plans should
be made for such developments of our
unused lands and our natural resources
as we have hitherto lacked stimula-
tion to undertake.

People Are Ready to
Take Up Readjustments

$50 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 out to be for the nations which
have suffered the disarrangements. and
the losses Of the 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 in action. Anv
leading strings we might seek to put
them in would speedily become hope
lessly tangled, because they would pay
no attention to them and 20 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 NAV. I
have heard much counsel as to the
plans that should be formed and per
sonally conducted to a happy consumma
tion, but from no quarter have | seen
any general scheme of reconstruction
emerge which I thought it likely we
could force our spirited business men
and selfreliant laborcrs to accept with
due pliancy and obedience.
while the war lasted we set up
many agencies by which to direct the
industries of the country in the SER
vices it was necessary for them to rem
der, by which to make sure of an baum
dant supply of the materials needed by
which to check undertakings that
could for the time be dispensed with
and stimulate those that we're most
serviceable in war, by which to gain
for the purchasing departments of the
government q certain control over the
prices of essential articles and ma
terials, by which to restrain trade
with alien enemies, make the most of
the available shipping and systema-
TIE financial transactions, both pub
lie and private, so that there would be
no unnecessary conflict or confusion
by which, in short, to put every ma
terial energy of the country in har-
ness TO draw the common load and
make of us one team in the accom-
plishment of a great task.

Bigger Navy Plans Are
Given Wilson's Approval

81 take it for granted that Congress
will carry out the naval progra 1me
which was undertaken before we en-
tered the war. The Secretary Of the
Navy has submitted to your commit
tees for authorization that part of
the programme which covers the
building plans of the next three years
These plans have been prepared along
the lines and in accordance with the
policy which the Congress established
not under the exceptional conditions
of the war, but with the intention of
adhering to a definite method of de-
velopment for the navy I earnestly
recommend the uninterrupted pursuit
OF that policy. 1t would clearly be
unwise for US to attempt to adjust
our programmes to a future world
policy as yet undetermined.
THE question which causes me the
greatest concern is the question of
the policy to be adopted toward the
railroads, and 7 frankly turn to you
tor counsel upon it. I have no con-
fident judgment of my own. I do not
see how any thoughtful man can have
who knows anything OF the complexitv
or the problem. 1t is a problem which

The patriotism, the unselfshness, the
thoroughgoing devotion and distn-

Control of Shipping Must
BE Retained for the Present

II have spoken of the control which
must yet for while, perhaps for a
long while, be exercised over shipping
because of the priority of service to
which our forces overseas are entitled
and which should also be accorded the
shipments which are to save recently
liberated peoples from starvation and
many devastated regions from perma-
nent ruin.
May | not say special word about
the needs Of Belgium and Northern
France? No sums of money paid by
way of indemnity will serve of them
selves to save them from hopeless dis
advantage for years to come. Some
thing more must be done than merely
find the money. If they had money
and raw materials in abundance to-
place in the industry of the world to-
morrow-the very important place they
held before the flame of war swept
across them. Many of their factories
are RACED to the ground. Much of their
machinery is destroyed or has been
taken away. Their people are scattered
and many of their best workmen are
dead Their markets will be taken by
others, if they are not in some special
way assisted to rebuild their factories
and replace their lost instruments Of
manufacture. They should not be left
to the vicissitudes of the sharp COM
petition for materials and for indus
trial facilities which is now to set in.
II hope, therefore, that Congress
will not be unwilling, if it should be-
come necessary, to grant to some such
agency as the War Trade Board the
right to establish priorities of export
and supply for the benefit of these
people whom we have been so happy
to assist in saving from the German
terror and whom we must not now
thoughtlessly leave to shift for them
selves in pitiless competitive market.
"For the steadying and facilitation
Of our own domestic business readjust-

the immediate determination of the
taxes that are to be levied for 1918,

of taxation must be lifted from bust

Wants Former Soldiers To
BE Given Right to u. S. Land

II particularly direct your attention
to the very practical plans which the
Secretary of the Interior has developed
III his annual report and before your
committees for the reclamation of arid.
swamp and cut-over lands, which might,
II the states were willing and able to
cooperate, redeem some 3OO,0O0OOO
acres of land for cultivation. There
are said to be 100000 or 2O,0OOOOO
acres of land in the West, at present
arid, for whose reclamation water is
available, if properly conserved. There
are about 230,000,OGO acres from which
the forests have been cut, but which
have never yet been cleared for the
plough and which lie waste and desc
late. These lie scattered all over the
Union.
"And there are nearly 10000, 1000
acres of land that lie under swamps
or subject to periodical overflow or too
wet for anything but grazing, which
1t is perfectly feasible to drain and
protect and redeem.
"Congress can at once direct thou
sands of the returning soldiers to the
reclamation Of the arid lands, which it
has alleady undertaken, if it will but

ations which it has intrusted to the

unused land to effect great rural and
