Bisbee daily review., 1919-05-21


 conciliation and adjustment which have been brought into existence by the difficulties and mistaken policies of the present management of indus try and by setting up and developing new federal agencies of advice and in- formation which may serve as a clear ing house for the best experiments and the best thought on this great matter. upon which every thinking man must be aware that the future development of society directly de- bends. Agencies of international coun- sel and suggestion are presently to be created in connection with the league of nations in this very field; but It IS national action and the enlightened policy of individuals, corporations anu societies within each nation that must bring about the actual reforms. The members of the committees on labor in the two houses will hardly need suggestions from me as to what means they shall seek to make the federal government the agent of the whole na- tion in pointing out and, if need bs, suiding the process of reorganization and reform.
 Backs Lone Soldier Plan
 am sure that it is not necessary for me to remind you that there IS one immediate and very practlcsi ouestion of labor that we should meet in the most liberal spirit
 We must see to it that our returning soldiers are assisted in every practl- cable way to find the places for whlcn tbev are fitted in the daily work or the country This can be done DS developing and maintaining upon all adaouate scale the admirable organlZa- t;op created by the department or Ia bor for placing men seeking worA' a,dit can also be done, in at least one very great field, by creating ne" opportunities for individual % nrises. The secretary of the nterioi has pointed out the way by wnlcn ie % t,rnine soldiers may be helped to f;nd and take up land in the hitneruo urdeveIoped regions of the coul'iy ,vhicb the federal government mas ,,-ororad or can readily prepare TOT cultivation and for many or the ou' over or neglected areas when ne "i'n sn Inc limits O fthe older states; anu oncs more take the liberty or reconi- -,anding very urgently that his pial'S snau receive the immediate ana SUI

 Peculiar and very stlWulatine Son d;tions await our commerce ana lhuuS- str;al enterprise in the immeolaIe iu- t,re Unusual opportunities VIII pres eptlv present themselves to our niei chants and producers in torelsn ne 1Te,s and large fields for profitaole III, ul,, ,,ostuent will be opened to our rec canital. But it is not only or thaC 'nos 7 am thinking; it is not chlehy V. that that I am thinking. Many great industries prostrated by the war wat to be rehabilitated in many parts or the world where what will be lack ing is not brains or willing hands or organizing capicity or experienced skill. but machinery and raw materials and capital. I believe that our nusa' ness men, our merchants, our manu' facturers and our capitalists will have the vision to see that prosperity In one part of the world ministers to prosperity everywhere: that there is in very true sense a solidarity oi interest throughout the world Of en terprise and that our dealings with the countries that have need of oul products and our money will teacf them to deem us more than ever friends whose necessities we seek 1T the right way to serve.
 New Merchant Ships to Aid Others
 Our new marchant ships which have in some quarters been feared as de structive rivals, may prove helpfu rivals. rather, and common servants very much needed and very welcome Our great shipyards, new and old will be so opened to the use of tho world that they will prove immersel! serviceable to every maritime people in restoring much h1ore rapidly thar would otherwise have been possible the tonnoge wantonly destroyed il the war. I have only to suggest tha there are many points at which WI  can facilitate American enterprise Il foreign trade by opportune Legislation and make it easy for American mef chants to go where they will be wei comed as friends rather than as dread ed antagonists. America has a grea and honorable service to perform il bringing the commercial and indus trial undertakings of the world bacl to their old scope and swing again and putting solid structure of credi
 under them. All our legislation shoul' be friendly to such plans and pun poses.
 Tax System Faulty
 Credit and enterprise alike will b quickened by timely and helpful legii lation with regard to taxation. hop that the congress will find it pOssibl to undertake an early reconsideration of federal taxes fin order to make Ou system of taxation more simple an
