the problem Of unemployment.

is SO much back of all this that
cannot begin to tell it all. / will
have to stick to what is being done
NOW. You see President Harding has
been studying this situation for many
weeks and comforting with Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, and Secretary Of
Labor Davis, and some of the biggest
business men in the United States to
try to find a way to help put men
back to work. That is big job, but
he considers nothing too big to tackle
if it means helping this wonderful
country of ours to get back on It's
feet in every way possible. When
these men had discussed this matter,
President Harding made up his mind
to bring the biggest Representatives of
business, industry, and labor to Wash
ington to sit together and exchange
their ideas in an effort to take out
the best ideas and put them into ac
ton. That very attitude on the part
of our president is right in line with
all his policies to get THEIR ideas in
stead of sitting back and thinking that
he knows it all. He knows he doesn It
know it all and that is one reason why
he is a big man,

and President Harding opened the con
ference himself. On the platform with

the story without reading you some of
the things the president said. This
statement will help us all grasp the
situation. Listen:
There is always unemploy-
ment. Under most fortunate condi-
tions, ] am told, there are a mil
lion and half in the United
l. States who are not at work. But
there is excessive unemployment
today and we are concerned, not
alone about its diminution but We
are frankly anxious, under the in
volved conditions lest it grow
worse, with hardships of the win
ter season soon to be met
president Harding shows US that
situation is bad, but he also shows that
unemployment is all about us even in
the best times. Knowing the situa
ton is serious, he has not waited
Neither is he afraid to go after rem

there are no problems af-
fecting our national life and the
welfare of the American people,
which we cannot and will not
solve. IF WE FAIL TODAY WE
