THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

HARDING URGES THRIFT FOR U. S.

Suggests Plain Living for the Nation During Readjustment Period. FOR 100 PER CENT PRODUCTION President Elect In Speech at New Orleans Gives Remedy for The Industrial and Economic Ills of the Country. New Orleans, La., Nov. 19.—" Neither our fior the world’s salvation is to be worked out through any patent nostrum,” President-elect Warren G. Harding declared In a speech before the chamber of commerce here, in which he discussed the industrial and economic situation. "One hundred per cent production, minimized waste,” and “rational readjustment” offer the remedy for the industrial and economic ills of the Uunited States, the president-elect said. After declaring that there has been a “wild contemplation of earnings, whether in wages or dividends,” Senator Harding made an appeal for the “ideal relationship where men may labor with a soul In their tasks” and for a realization of “the dignity of productive labor.” Would Unite Americans. “Concord among Americans, South. Central and North,” was urged by the president-elect on the eve of his sailing for Panama. “Somehow I feel that the western hemisphere is our special field of Influence and trade,” Senator Harding said. “Our trade routes by the sea to the south ought to be as dependable as our rail routes at home. Bind our friendship with the ties of trade and we shall make It indissoluble. “Our great assurance at home lies In a virile, intelligent, resolute people,” the president-elect said. “In a land unravaged by war, at enmity with no people, envying none, covetihg nothing, seeking no territory, striving for no glories which do not become a righteous nation. Asks Rational Readjustment.

“This republic cannot, will not, fall if each of us but does his part. If we but work, and use thriftily and seek the understanding which reveals mu-t tuality of interest, no difficulties can long abide. We cannot hope for war activities and excesses and pre-war costs, but we can give and take and find the rational readjustment. “Such a solution cannot come out of the greedy thoughts of the profiteer or the revolutionary agitation of those who would destroy. These are but surface disturbances. We choose the deep and ever currents of normal America for the course of the republic. “With 100 per cent production and minimized waste we may make the reconstruction and establish a sure footing. “Land of Opportunity.” “In a land of opportunity, with standards of wages and living the best in the world, I want to go on in good conscience until we evolve the ideal relationship where men may labor with a soul In their tasks. There Is no substitute for the reward of merit, there never can be; but in the scales of justice we must see that reward balances evenly with merit. “We want godd fortune a common possession In America. We want the cotton grower of the South to have his becoming reward with the wool grower and the wheat farmer of the North. We want Southern factories to be attuned to the. music of the mills of the North. We want your ports so send their cargoes under the American flag, to bear the messages of peace and good will to all parts of the earth. There is no sectionalism in righteous American ambitions. Face Momentous Problems.

“I believe the American people have come to realize that we must face momentouS 1 problems—world problems but more particularly our own problems —and must face them with resolute courage and practical wisdom and patriotic determination. “There must be no reason for pause, no excuse for despair, no place for pessimism. Inevitably there must be reconstruction, unavoidably there will be readjustment. And the older order never will return; the incalculable sacrifice would be vain, if the old order were even sought. Must Learn Thrift. “Surely we are going to b|e called upon—nationally, collectively, individually—to renounce extravagances and learn anew the old lessons of ’thrift' and providence. “The big tiling for all America to realize njwv ana always Is the dignity of. productive labor. No matter how humble, the producers are the makers of the essentials of civilization and we must, each and all of us, accept and discharge our duty of producing for the world, or of ministering to the needs or comfort or progress of mankind.”
