book wasn't in it, even II there were
only a few cents in it. for it gives a

Washington, ID. C.-President Har-
ding, in one of the most important
speeches made in years, touching upon
many questions vital to the nation, adj
dressed Congress as follows:
Members of the Congress: You have
been called into extraordinary session
to give your consideration to national
problems far too pressing TO be long
neglected.
We face u task of legislation and
administration amid conditions as diff
ficult as our government has eve con-
templated.
Under our political system the peo-
pie of the United States have charged
the new Congress and the new admin
istration with the solution-the read
justment, reconstruction and restora-
ton which must follow in the wake of
war.
II may be regretted that w were
SO lily prepared for wars aftermath,
SO little made ready to return to the
ways of peace, but we are not to be
discouraged. Indeed, we must be the
more firmly resolved 10 undertake our
work with high hope, and invite every
factor in our citizenship to join in the
effort to find our normal, onward way
again.
The American people have appraised
the situation and with that tolerance
and patience which go with under
standing they will give to us the in
fluence of deliberate public opinion
which ultimately becomes the edict of
any popular government. They are
measuring some of the seern necessi-
ties and will join in the g~ive-and-take
which is so essential to firm re-estab-
lishment.
First in mind must be the solution
of our problems at home, even though
some phases of them ire inseparably
linked with our foreign relations. The
surest procedure in every government
is to put it's own house In order.
1 know of no more pressing problem
at home than to restrict u national
expenditures within the limits of our
national income, and at the same time
measurably lift the burdens of war
