What the Trip VIII Show.
The trip will furnish most inter-

Of the Marine Corps under its new
schedule Of cost per marine. In the
recent economy program adopted by
the Marine Corps the cost of main
tenance has been reduced far below
that Of any other branch Of the serv-
ice. per capita. and many experts
have declared that a falling off Of
effici ency must result which would
render it impossible for marines to
take the field in their former prompt
and efficient manner. The Marine

that the entire saving has been ef.
fected by increased efficiency of

who have been crying that American
membership In the league of nations
would have helped our economic sit
uation. With respect to the first point,
he declared that the excess of stimu-
lation" from raids on the Treasury is
ito be reckoned as cause of trouble
rather than e source of cure" The
President said liquidation and read
justment were an inevitable conse-
auence of the war and that "he who
thinks they might have been avoided
by this plan or that. by this interna-
tional relationship or that, only hugs
safe counsel"
The President aimed his remarks
particularly at those who have insist
ed that Americas abstention from the
councils of the allies during the
treaty fight caused such moral de-
preston in the European business
world as to bring about the collapse
of trade between Europe and America.
The international bankers have held
to that idea and have suggested IL
again and again to Mr.. Harding, who.
however, takes the opposite view and
believes Americas troubles are due
to natural causes.
But. whatever the controversy about
the past, Mr.. Harding stated the biggest
fact of all in this part of his speech
There Is excessive unemployment to-
day. and we are concerned, not alone
about its diminution, but we are frankly
anxious under the involved conditions
lest it grow worse with hardships OF
the winter season soon to be met"
The conference entered upon its work
Observation-Disclosures more SO than any
gathering Of employers and employees
before. That's because Secretary Hoov-
or in Issuing the Invitations and Presi-
dent Harding in his address emphasized
that the conference was not asked Ito
solve long -controverted problems Of our
social system" The field of contro-
yersy over labor troubles is to be ex-
cluded. The conference Is to report to
the people on the true state Of unem-
nloyment and what can be done to i'm
prove Industrial conditions in America.
