asserted that although the Un1.ed

Of the world could best be performed
by giving its attention first to the re-

Mr.. Harding promised that govern

be reduced to minimum while govern
ment cooperation with all properly con-
Quoted businesses would be expanded

est, and to regard bigness in business
las a crime.''

asserted that the farmer was entitled
to ''all the help the government can
lgive him without injustice to others. -

cient compensation for comfort, educa
tion and a margin of savings, while
for every other element in industry
he urged fair opportunity to do it's
part in the reconstruction task
| Mr.. Harding also suggested that
the nation s loans to the Allies be put

in all the financial policies Of the re-
