nonsense of that advice is apparent today. There was in this country five or six years ago a business and indus-trUl disturbance that was a condition and not a theory, and yet the college'professor who occupied then and still holds the presidential chair assured his countrymen that the trouble was mainly psychological and that it needed only to be forgotten to be cured, or words of that import. Psychology, idealism, rhetoric and sentiment will not avail to solve the problems looming ahead In the United States. These problems will require all the practical genius and statesmanship the land can muster. They include such subjects as war debt liquidation, rail and water transportation, industrial relations and conidtions. obligations to service men, foreign trade and merchant marine, a budget system and general govejnaiental efficiency. In the White House and in the Capitol will be needed men who can at once hold fast upon the moral values that have come to us out of the war an dso shape
