MORE BUSINESS
IN GOVERNMENT
Less Government In Business Is
President-Elect Harding's
Plan for His Admins
tration.

NEW YORK, Nov. e.-More bust
ness in government; less government
in business, Is PreSident-elect Hard
ing's plan for his administration
The president sounded his slogan
in signed article In the current
issue of Worlds Work.
I'VE have had too much govern
ment in business he wrote. Il
mean by this that on the one hand
we have allowed our government to
engage too much in enterprises
which it has bungled and which
American business can do better,
safer and cheaper and on the other
hand we have had too much ineffec-
tive tinkering with our economic
structure. i.,
Il do not mean that government
should let business alone in the
sense that it should allow practices
which are inconsistent with American
standards of honor and fair play.
Nothing could be more depiorabfe
than substituting, as we have sub
stituted quantity Of laws for quality
of laws as If the thickness of our
statute books were a measure OF
wise legislation.
"American business is not a sell
fish, privilege seeking monster.
1--WE must repeal and wipe out
mass of executive orders and laws.
which, failing to serve effectively to
prevent profiteering and unfair prac-
tees, serve only to leave American
| business drifting and afraid.
1--WE must adjust the tariff and
! this time with especial regard for
the new economic menaces to our
American agriculture as we'll as to
our American factories.
1--WE must give government 90
operation to business, we must pro-
| tect American business at home and
we must aid and protect it abroad
| by the upbuilding of our merchant
marine.
1--WE must build our economic life
into new strength so that abroad
! we will be known, not as nation
strutting under plumage OF fine
words but as one that knits friendly
and peaceful relations by the shuttle
| Of honorable deeds"
For more business in government,
Senator Harding said the budget plan
must be revived, postal service put
on an improved basis, civil service
extended, useless job holders Topped
off, and advice Of experts on tech
nical matters accepted.

paign of opposition to Senators Cum
minis of Iowa, Wadsworth of New
York, Lenroot of Wisconsin and Wat
son OF Indiana.
Every republican candidate for the
senate is said to have been opposed
either by the brotherhoods cooper
ating with the American Federation
Of labor or ny these organizations
working separately The two biggest
fights CT these organizations were
conferred against Senators Cummins
and Wadsworth, and both received
heavy majorities last Tuesday.
In the senate contests labor did
not win single victory, and while
claims are being made by representa-
tfves of the labor organizations that
great gains were made in the house,
these decla rations do not appear on
tho surface and labor has refused to
show just where thesgictories were
achieved.
Of course, t1fe EreHfeat victory OBJ
tanned by organized labor is the de
feat of Representative John ]. Esch

was brought about in the primaries
and was due largely to the opposition

CARDINAL LoGUE's VIEW
Both Sides In ireland are Cruel and
Unjust.

Belfast, Aug 30 (By The Associat-
ed Pressl Cardinal Logue, primate of
ireland. in a vigorous letter read in
the Dundalk churches today, denoun-
ced impartally the shooting of Con
stable Brennan who was assassin.
.ated at Dunga k a week ago by mask
ed men and reprisals by the crown
forces recently in southern ireland.
He says:
The poor victim | know to have
been quiet, upright man who never
gave otfense to anyone in the Dis
charge of his duty
Am to be told that this is an act
of war; that it is lawful to shoot at
sight anyone wearing policeman S
uniform and honestly discharging a
policeman duty? prefer to call it
by its real name cold, deliberate, viii
full murder Hence. anyone who plans
encourages, abets or even sympa'
thizes with such an act part cipates in
the guilt before God
Equal y condemning reprisals, the
Cardinal continues
Il know we are living under the
harsh tyrannical regime Of miltarism
ana brute force which invites and
stimulates crime; that all pretense of
d scipltne has been thrown to the
winds; that those processing to be the
guardians of law and order have be
come the most ardent yotaries OF law
lessness and disorder; that they have
been over running the country and
making the night hideous by raids,
rifle fire, burnings and the destruction
of valuabla property; that towns have
been sacked, as in the rude warfare OF
the earlier ages and that those who
run from fear are shot at sight and
that reckless firing in crowded places
has made many innocent victims.
"And when these things are reported
to the authorities, either investigation
is refused or some hole or corner in
quiry he d. But we have never heard
of punishment. All this profe ses t(
b. done by way OF repri aals but re
pr sails are generally unjust and often
fall on the innocent Crime does not
excuse crime.
