Forked out to benefit those who con-

Appearing suddenly before the as

complete confidence that, through

means would be found for restoring

find that nothing deliberate is permit
ted since my return. I have Deen
trying under the guidance of my Sec
retary, Mr.. Tumelty, to do months
work in a week, and am hoping that
not all Of it has been done badly, but
inasmuch as there Is necessary
pressure upon my time, I know that
you will excuse me from taking part
in your conference, much as / should
be prof1ted by SO doing.
''My pleasant duty is to bid you q
very hearty welcome and to express
my qualification that so many execu-
tives Of cities and states have found
the time and the inclination to come
together on the very important mat
ter we have to discuss. The primary
duty Of caring for our people in the
intimate matters that we want to dis
cuss here, OF course, falls upon the
states and upon the municipalities,
and the function Of the federal gov
ernment is to do what 1t is trying to
do in conference OF this sort-draw
the executive minds of the country
together so that they may profit by
each others suggestions and plans and
SO that we may offer our services to
, coordinate their efforts in any way
that they may deem it wise to CO.
ordinate.
'Tn other words, It is the privilege
Of the federal government in matters
Of this sort to be the servants OF the
executives OF the states and munich
palities and counties and we shall per
form that duty with t1ls greatest
pleasure If you will guide as with
your suggestions.
"I hope that the discussion OF this
conference will take as wdde a scope
as you think necessary. We are not
to discuss any single or narrow sub
ject. We are met to discuss the pco1r
er methods of restoring all the labor
conditions Of the country to a normal
basis as soon as possible and to eff
fecting such fresh ALLEGATIONS of labor
and industry as the circumstances
may make necessary
"I think I can testify from what I
have seen on the other side OF the
water we are more fortunate than
other nations in respect to these great
problems Our industries have been
! disturbed and disorga anized--disorgan-
| lied as compared with peace basis,
very seriously indeed. by the war. but
not SO seriously as the Industries OF
other countries, and, 1t seems to me.
, therefore, that we should approach
these problems that we are about to
discuss with good deal Of confidence
with a good deal OF confidence that
| il we have q common purpose, we
can realize that common purpose
without serious or insurmountab1e DIFF

from a musician who wanted know
why we didn't find out whether the
venture would be financed, before
we started it. That criticism is
perhaps just one, and in going at
it we possibly have put the horse
before the cart. But we reasoned
that before we struck out to size up
that end Of it, we would attempt to
first find out if it were possible to
get up band to finance, and then
there would be something to go on
in petitioning for financial aid. So
let's get together, find out what can
be done, and get the thing going.

We have had many comments on the
subject, not only from musicians.
but from business men and other
citizens, and the general tone is
very favorable. The one feature
which appears to find favor among
the business men is the possibility Of
giving to out-of-town trade the
pleasure of a series of band concerts,
with other numbers on the pro-
grams, as an incentive to bring
trade here, and of course the home
