the postwar revival of business,
President Harding declared that ma
tional mobilization by business, labor
and government forces to overcome
depression was no less accomplished
than the great cooperation to win
the war"
Outlining the steps taken under
government direction to wipe out un-

''If our procedures have been rather
plain and old-fashioned. they nave
yet produced results that justify
pride and requires no apology"
Better Day by Day.

of excitement for a modest share in
