ground audience. are interwined and
inteddependent. Referring to the
league Of nations with a statement
that 1t was not a political question,
except when turned to partisan uses.
Governor Cox said:
Millions of men, women and chill
dren in devastated regions Of Europe
are literally starving to death when
America has the ability and resources
to provide for them all. But this pro-
vision can be made only when recon
struction of the world has been I'M
dertaken under definite plan. AL
though our soldiers achieved a vic
tory in the great war and by their di-
rect contribution brought the war to
a close, We still do not have peace.
Until that peace is accomplished, lit
tie Roadway can be made. Not only
is the civilization of the world at
stake, but the material welfare of our
own country is vitality affected.
Peace Must Bring Solution
waste and extrava gance must con-
tinue until by the ratification of the
peace treaty we and the other coun-
tries of the world know definitely
where we stand"
Turning to the labor question, Gov
ernor Cox continued:
Labor is vitality interested in the
plan of readjustment which will be
adopted There are those who think
the answer to present difficulties lies
in the adoption Of plans of the past;
that progress has gone too far. l am
not of that class. l think that the So
luton is in the dawn of a new day
when the human soul and the human
body shall count for more than the
.sordid dollar.
Differences Are Inevitable
so long as men work for hire, there
will be differences of opinion between
those who labor and those who en-
ploy labor. Industrial disputes cannot
be avoided, but industrial disputes can
be prevented from menacing the well
fare of the nation when both parties
to the dispute can be made to under
stand that government is fair and that
neither one nor the other may gain
an advantage. Public opinion rules

days in the year, the day to express
anew our admiration for one Of the
foremost champions of liberty that
France ever raised. because today is
also Labor day. the day when Ameri-
can labor celebrates the throwing off
of its medieval shackles of the past
and proudly celebrates her independ- |
ence in this new country Of ours.
