Wage Reductions.

Just as inevitable as theIaw of
gravitation is the nationwide
wage reduction started by the
railroads. The brotherhoods may
resist. In doing so they will
squander what they have saved
up while wages have been high,
and may delay the movement for
a brief spell, but they are sim oily
trying to sweep bach the tide
when they put themselves in the
way of a tendency that is backed
by economic necessity, says an
exchange.
By far the better plan would
be to accept the situation las
gracefully as possible. Wages
and prices went up together;
they must come down together.
When prices reach the preUar
level, even if wages should 90
down fifty per cent will still rep
resent an advance, measured By
purchasing power. If the popu-
lation of the country, wage ear
ners and wage payers, buyers
and sellers, producers and dis
tributors, would simply face the
situation squarely and adjust
themselves to it with the mini
mum of loss and delay, it would
be much better for every Body
concerned.

washington, April IL (ASSo-
ciated Press). President Hard
ing's principal recommendations
to Congress in his first annual
address delivered today included
the following:
Foreign Relationship separate
peace treaties with the Central
Powers. ION the assumption
alone that these would be edequ-
ate" ''The wiser course would
seem to be to engage un-
der the existing treaty, assum-
ing of course that this can be
satisfactorily accomplished by
such explicit reservations and
notifications as will secure our
absolute freedom; of inadvisable
commitments and safeguard all
our essential interests. = No
helpful society of nations can be
founded on justice and commit
ed to peace until the covenants
re- establishing peace are sealed
by the nations which were at
war. )"
Observation-Disclosures of in
ternal taxes and revision or re-
peal "of those taxes which have
become unproductive and are so
artificial and burdensome as to
defeat their own purpose.
Tariff-Instant tariff enact
ment, emergency in character
and understood by our people
that it is for the emergency only.
Railroads-Eficient operation
lat a cost within that which the
traffic can bear. Rail-
way rates and costs of operation
must be reduced. + ''The
remaining obstacles which are
the heritage of capitalistic ex-
ploitation must removed and Ia
Dor must join management in
understanding that the public
which pays is the public to be
served and simple justice is the
right and will continue to be the
right of all the people"
Good Roads-The strengthen
ing of laws governing Federal
aid.
Merchant Marine-"The Unit
ed States means to establish a
great merchant marine.
Communications-Private mon
opolies tending to prevent the
development of needed facilities
should be prohibited. Govern
ment owned facilities wherever
possible without unduly interfer-
ing with private enterprise or
Government needs should be
made available for general usag-
es.
neutrality-suspicious. by the
Federal Government and en-
enlargement of aviation for de.
velopement for military and civil
purposes.
Service Men-"The American
people expect Congress unfailing-
ly to voice the gratitude of the
public in a generous and practi-
cal way to its defenders in the
World War" The immediate
extension and utilization of Gov
hospital facilities to
bring relief to the acute condi-
tions most complsined Of"

sideration of pending appropria.

sideration Of pending appropEiA-
ton bills was urged. The
Government is in accord with
the wish to eliminate the bur
dens of heavy armament" ysid
the President. The United
States will ever be in harmony
with such a movement toward
the higher attainments of peace.
But we shall not entirely discard
our agencies for defense until
there is removed the need to de-
fend. We are ready to cooper
ate with other nations to Approx
innate disarmament, but mer est
prudence fordids that we dis2rm
alone.'
National Finance-The st,g-
gering load ofiwar debt must be
cared for in orderly funding and
gradual liquidation. We shall
hasten the solution and all eff
fectively in lifting the tax bur
dens if we strike resoIutely at
expenditure.
Observation-Disclosures of
a national budget system and
general reductions by effici. Mt
management of the cost of gov
erment.
Business-Less of government
in business as well as more busi-
ness in government. There
is no challenge to honest and law
full business success. But gov
eminent approval of fortunate,
untrammeled business doe not
mean federation of restrsist of
trade or of maintained prices by
unnatural methods. = Arxi.
GUS as we are to restore tie on
ward flow of business it il fair
to combine assurance and warn
ing in one utterance.
Agriculture-The maintai ed
retail costs in perishable foods
cannot be justified. - Re-
duced costs of basic produ ON
has been recorded, but high cost
of living has not yielded in Ike
proportion. Without the
spirit of hostility or haste in &C
cusation of profteering some
suitable inquiry by Congress
might speed the price readjust-
ment to normal relationship. with
helpfulness to both producer and
consumer. A measuring rod of
fair prices will satisfy the coun-
try and give US a business re-
vival to end all depression and
unemployment.
