The Washington times., 1921-05-23

NEW YORK, May 23.-The press
ing need for rigid economy in Gov
ernment demands that mere SYM
pathy for office-holders "be sacrificed
utterly" and that needless Govern
ment positions be eliminated with
persistent, determined, stony
hearted devotion to public interest"
INFRINGEMENT NECESSARY.
This outspoken announcement OF
reduction in Government forces in
Washington and elsewhere in the
near future was made by President
Harding In an address here this
afternoon before distinguished
gathering OF political economists,
educators, and students of Govern
ment.
policy of retrenchment was a painful
one to enforce, but that devotion to
the interests OF the general public
should come before sympathy for
those individual "place-holders whose
real reason for keeping their position
is that they want the salary"
Inertia and indifference, he said,
must be combatted at every point.
the loyalty of certain class of
politicians" is not in the undertaking,
and the task is "thankless and un-
gracious" but he pledged his ad-
ministration anew to successful ac-
complishment.
No business, no household. he de-
clared, could continue to spend money
as indiscriminately and loosely as the
Government has spent it without
leading to disaster"
REDUCTIONS UNDER WAY.
President Harding spoke at a
luncheon of the Academy of Political
Sciences at the Hotel Astor. Ii was
the first speech of a busy day for the
chief executive. Tonight he will be
the guest of honor at the celebration
of the l25th anniversary of the found
ing of the New York Commercial. and
will speak again on the subject OF
governmental and business reorgan-
ization.
There must be utter sacrifice OF all
sympathy for the place holder whose
real reason for keeping his position
is that he wants the salary" said the
President. Inertia, which is easily
the greatest force in governmental
organizations, must be combated at
every point.
"The administration which devotes
itself relentlessly to such work must
understand that II will lose a great
deal of immediate loyalty on the part
of a certain class of politicians, which
will not be compensated to II at once
in the appreciation of the public.
Nevertheless, thankless and un-
gracious as the task will be for most
of these who devote their efforts to
II. II must and will be attacked, II Is
being attacked. with all determine
ton"
GETS HEARTY GREETING.
The President and Mrs. Harding,
accompanied by small party of
guests, arrived in New York early this
morning aboard the Presidential
yacht Mayfiower The vessel steamed
up the Hudson through a heavy morn
ing mist and dropped anchor near
Ninety sixth street. She docked at )
