further than that let him at the sanns time himself carefully econonize in the matter of consumption. By common action in this direction we shall over come danger greater than the dan ger of war. We will hold steady a sit uation which is fraught with poSsIbIli- ties of hardship and suffering to large part of our population; we will enable the processes of production to overtake the processes of consumption, and we will speed the restoration of an adequate purchasing power for wages.
 "l am particularly gratifled at the support which the government policy has received from the representative of organized labor and earnestly hope that the workers generally will em- phatically indorSe the position of their leaders and thereby move with the government instead of against it in the solution of this greatest domestic problem.
 q am calling for as early a date as practicable a conference in which au thoritative representatives of labor and of those who direct labor will dis cuss fundamental means of bettering the whole relationship of capital and labor and putting the whole question of wages upon another footing.
 (Signed)
 WOODROW WILSON"
