There are many grave ques- tions confronting us We must build up and strengthen the spirit of national solidarity"
 Speaking on Characterization, Gem eral Wood declared we should pay closer attention to our immigrants than ever before. Vast numbers of these people who are non-producers in the cities would be valuable producers if we could get them into the country and scatter them ainongs our agricultural population He added We must do what we can to give American labor American leader ship. The great bulk of the disturbances which arise in labor troubles come from alien leadership. We must take vigorous steps to deport the red element.
 ''Ninety-five per cent of the American laborers are square and want to do right. We must do all we can 10 harmonize the relations between capital and labor, to insure labor good working conditions, good housing conditions and wage which, with thrift and industry will en- able the worker to save.''
 General Wood urged that more atten- ton be paid to our system of public edu- cation and agriculture, which 'ihas been altogether too much neglected Other speakers included Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassador to Mexico; Dr. John Wesley Hill and Dr. George Hubbell, president of Lincoln Memorial University.
