Listen TO this very carefully worded
observation by Governor Harding
The transition through which the
community Is now passing while nee
essarily uncomfortable, has thus far
been accompanied with only a mini-
mum Of the unfavorsble symptoms
! developed on other occasions. The
close OF the year 1920, in spite OF the
! fact that in some branches of eco-
nomic and financial life, there Is still
/ much progress TO be made before
! rea ching a definite basis for further
! growth, must be regarded ar the turn
| ing point In the process OF transi'
| ton from conditions produced by the
war to the normal economic basis OF
International and industrial life"
Secretary Houston and Governor
Harding both said that the year has
been a period of decided advance In
the process of readjustment, conse
quent upon conditions which the war
brought upon the world. The decrease
from war output to peace-time basis,
they said, was inevitable. They both
asserted that in a study of conditions
following other wars, conditions have
been far more rigorous than are now
being experienced by business in the
United states. They are not alarmed
by the falling OF in production, fol-
lowing upon the readjustment OF the
price structure.

acy, by which means the American
people may have voice in saying
by what sort of covenants they shall
be bound. They propose that the OBJ
legations to be assumed by the United
States shall be fully and freely dis
cussed before the terms of the agree
ment are finally framed, and that the
United States shall not be compelled
to bind itself to covenant made in
foreign lands, in secret conclave, and
without opportunity to change a word
of the document. They are deter
mined that when this nation is bound
to contract more important than
any other in its history, there shall be
full opportunity to make definite and
specific all the provisions which limit
American rights and powers, or that
impose obligations. They propose to
study the contract first and sign aft
erward, rather than accede to the Viii
son demand to sign first and study it
afterward.
No Chance for Changes.
President Wilson gave no oppor-
tunity for the American people,
through their representatives, to make
changes in the Terms of the covenant.
He declared when he went to France
that he would bring back treaty with
league covenant woven into it in
such manner that it must be adopted
without change.
Because it was un-American in
substance and in the manner of its
framing and submission, the British
Wilson league has been scrapped-it

body of duly chosen American citi-
zens will take up in orderly and open
manner the problem of promoting
