Public Opinion
What AmeriCa Needs


To tho Editor Of The Times
More than two years ago the all
important question. What Does
America Need?" was answered bv
posters on binboards throughout the
United States in six words. will
repeat them AMERICA NEEDS
HARDING - A CONSTRUCTIVE
STATESMAN.
America got Just what the people
decided on. although two years have
passed without confidence having been
restored and the reconstruction pro
gram is far in tho background with
the rest oC legislation and financial
difficulties
L believe one of the most important
things America needs today Is another
decision with certain reservations and
harmonious working forces at the
seat Of Government in Washington,
j. G., whose interests are for a stable
and sound government, and who be
love in America first and act accord
ingIy.
DO moro for America in recOnstruc-
ton, talk more for Americas wei
fare and less for Europe's; get the
American people interested more in
home Government then confidence
will reign supreme. But so long as
force in Washington uses its office
anu influence for self interest and
plays politics at every opportunity in
governmental affairs just so long will
America be deprived of the things so
essential to the success of the entire
Nation.
Therefore I, with thousands Of other
citizens Go not expect America to
have or enjoy real prosperity under
the present policies which are being
forced upon the American people to-
day. WILLIAM T. WEATHERS.
