Ia new confidence and consecration. which would make our defense iIn2reSnable, our triumph assured. Then We should have little. or no disorganization of our econ omicr industrial and commercial systems
 at home, no staggering war debts, no swollen fortunes to hout the sacrifices of
 our soldiers. no excuse for sedition. no
 pitiables slackerism, TO outrages of trea-
 son.. Envy and jealousy would nave no
 soil for their menacing development and revolution would be without the passion which engenders 1t.
 "A regret for the mistakes of yester- day must not however. blind us to the tasks of today. War never left such an aftermath. There has been staggering loss of life and measureless wastage of materials. Nations are still groping for
 return, to stable ways. Discouraging in debtedness confronts us like all the war torn nations, and these obligations must
 be provided for No civilization can sur. lyive repudiation.
 | We. can reduce the abnormal expendi- lures and we will, We can strike at war taxation and We must. We must face | the grim necessity with full knowledge
 that the, task is to be solved, and we must
 proceed with full realization that no
 statute enacted by man can repeal the
 ineSorable laws of nature. Our most
 dangerous tendency is to expect too much
 of government and at the same time do for 1t too. little

 tufbance of wars reaction. Herein flows the life blood of material existence. The Eeconomic mechanism is intricate and It's parts interdcpendent and has suffered the shocks and jars incident to abnormal de-
 manG3, credit inhations and price up lheavals. The normal balances have been limpa fred, the channels of distribution have been clcgged, the relations of la bor' and management have been strained We. must seek. the readjustment witt
 care and courage. Our people must Eivt
 and take. Prices must reflect the reeed ing fever of war activities, Perhaps VI
 never shall know the. old levels of wag' dgaiii. because war invariably reedjusti conpensations and the necessarics of lif' wIll, show their inseparable relationship
 but We must strive for normaicy to reacl , stability. All the penalties will not b. light nor evenly distributed.
