President Harding expressed clearly
and truly the feeling OF the whole
American heart when he said:
Il know the feelings or my own
breast and that of yours ana that Of
the grateful people OF this republic.
But no thoughtful person possessed Of
all the facts, is ready for added COM
pensation for the heaIthful, self-reliant
masses of our great armies at the
cost Of a treasury breakdown which
viii bring its hardships to all the cit
liens of the republic. Its enactment
now, in all probability, would SO add

terest charges on new and refunded
Indebtedness may alone exceed the sum
it is proposed to bestow."

er and more business-like than the
