Government regulation isn't popuiar
in the United States. but its necessity
was admitted while we were at war.
What we must realize now is that the
country Is still dealing with war condi
+ions and that it will have to deal with
conditions arising out of the war for
years to come.
The sipning of armistices and treaties
and covenants cannot bring peace con-
ditions of themselves. A man cannot
move immediately into house that has
ius+ been swept bv fire. He has to wait
for the builders. No agreements of
statesmen can make the fields of Europe
bloom nor bring from the thin air crops
that weren't raised while a hundred mil
lion people were engaged for four years
in work of destruction, nor raise cattle,
nor recreate forests, buildings, ships and
railways, nor bring metal from the
ground and work it.
