HARDING NOW
IN WHEAT BELT
Has Spoken on Two Major
Questions, the World Court
and Transportation

ON BOARD PRESIDENT HAIR
DING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, EN-
ROUTE TO HUTCHINSON, KAS
June 23 (By The Associated Press)
Having set forth the position of
the administration on two Major
questions, the world court and rams
p~ortation, President Harding today
travelled into the Kansas wheat belt
to present to the farmers of the SUM-
flower state and of the nation his
views on the agricultural problem.
The presidents principal address
today was arranged for this after
moor in Hutchinson, after he had
visited the Reno county wheat dis
trict. He was accompanied from
Kansas city by Senator Arthur Cap
per of Kansas, head of the Senate
agricultural bloc, and his address is
expected to be Of particular interest
to that group in Congress. Moreover
members of the Presidential party
expected today's speech to have a
bearing upon the campaign now un-
der way in Minnesota for election
of a United States senator with the
farm question a leading issue.
Favors Consolidation
hANOAo I'll AhO.f DdAS 80 |
Consolidation of the railroads of the
country into a small number of sys-
TENS is a rational, justifable step,
full of promise towards solution of
the Transportation problem, Presi-
dent Harding declared here tonight
in the second prepared address OF
his western trip.
IF the system consultations will
afford the solution he said, then
failure will enforce a costlier ex-
pertinent and the one great commit
ment which 1 hope the United states
will forever escape"
The Executive expressed the belief
that this one great commitment
government operation-would be "a
colossal blunder, which would de-
stroy initiative, infect us with 20
litical corruption, create regional
jealousies and impose incaluculable
cost on the public treasury"
Discussing relations between the
carriers and their employees as q
vital factor in the transportation
the President announced
he favored continuance OF the
Railroad Labor Board under such
notifications as seem most likely
10 make the plan successful" lie
said he was not convinced that the
of this plan had been "a COM
plete and entirely fair one" but add
that there is little to hope for
until all concerned are ready to COM
PLY promptly with the boards decis-
II am frank to say" he c%ontin-
ued, ~ do not hope for compliance
on the part of employees so long as
decisions are ignored by the man
agers.'
The sort of consolidation of the
carriers which Mr.. Harding advoca-
contemplates a constitution OF
the larger systems so that the weak
err and Improbable lines would be
to lean upon the financial
strength of the stronger and profit
ones until the growth of the
country makes them all earn a just
up on the capital invested.
The whole would be under "rigor-
government supervision"
Such a consolidation, the President
asserted, would "effect a dimuni-
in rates without making a net
return impossible" and at the same
would "make sound finance
possible for expansion"
