They have already done a better job for 120,000,000 than any other nation The underlying forces of recovery which he said were asserting them. selves he listed as follow Steadily increasing savings which will not re- main idle long;” higher consumption in many lines of retail goods; good harvest prospects; recovery from the drought; and the dying out of revo- lutionary movements in other coun- tries. Conceding that there were some “inequities and inequalities” in the Smoot-Hawley tariff act, Hoover nevertheless said that it had saved “our farmers and workmen from being overwhelmed with goods from foreign countries where, even since our tariff was revised, wages and prices have been reduced to much lower levels than before. Nearing the conclusion of his ad- dress, repeatedly interrupted by ap- plause, Hoover called on the people of the nation to have ‘full faith in those mighty resources which have impelled this nation to success,” Shocks Cause Fear Fear and apprehension among bus- iness men have been created by re- peated shocks from political disturb- ance in foreign countries, the presi- dent said, and asserted that “these fears and apprehensions are unnec- cessarily increased by that minority | of people who would make political capital out of the depression by mag- nifying our unemployment and losses. Other small groups in the business world make their contribution to dis- tress by raids on our markets with purpose to profit from depreciation of securi and commodities. Both groups are within the law; they are equally condemned by our public and business opiniol they are by no means helpful to the Nation. “Fear and apprehension, whether their origins are domestic or foreign, are very real, tangible, economic forces.

We have sustained the people in 21 states who faced dire disaster from the drought. We are marketing their crops, by which they have realized hundreds of prices than the farmers of any other country. Through the tariff we are saving our farmers and workmen from being countries where, even since our tariff was revised, wages and prices have been reduced to much lower levels than before. We are holding down taxation by exclusion of every pos- crease of employment or assistance to the farmers. We are rigidly exclud- ing immigration until our own people are employed.

We propose to go forward with these major activities and poli- cies. We will not be diverted from them. By these and other measures which we shall develop as the occasion shall require, we shall keep this ship steady in the storm. We will prevent any unnecessary distress in the United States, and by the activities and courage of the American people we will recover from the depression. I would be remiss if I did not pay tribute to the business, industrial, Jabor, and agricultural leaders for their remarkable spirit of cooper- ation. Their action is m-gnificent proof of the fundamental progress of American institutions, of our growth in social and economic understanding, of our sense of responsibility, and of human brotherhood. Leaders Have Cooperated Leaders of industry have cooper- ated in an extraordinary degree to; maintain employment and sustain our | standards of living. There have been exceptions, but they represent a small per cent of the whole. Labor has cooperated in prevention of conflict in giving greater effort and conse- quently in reducing unit costs. We have had freedom from strikes, lock- ;@ boy, “barefoot, in poverty-stricken outs, and disorder unequaled even in prosperous times, We have made per- manent gains in national solidarity. Our people can take justifiable pride that their united efforts have greatly reduced unemployment which would have otherwise been our fate; it is heavy but proportionally it is less than one-half that of other in- dustrial countries. Great as have been our difficulties no man can con- trast them with our experiences in previous great depressions or with the condition of other important in- dustrial countries without a glow of pride in our American system and a confidence in its future....... “Nothing can be gained in recovery of employment by detouring capital dens upon farmers and other callings from foreign countries over the re- vision of our tariff and it is proposed that we can expedite recovery by an- other revision. Nothing woud more prolong the depression than a session of congress devoted to this purpose. There are no doubt inequities and in- equalities in some of our tariff rates; that is inherent in any congressional revision. But we have for the first time effective machinery in motion through a tariff commission with au- thority for any necessary rectifica- tion. tioning. who rose in public life from a state away from industry and commerce into the treasury of the United States, either by taxes or loans, on the as- sumption that the government can these funds than can industry and commerce itself. advocate of expansion of useful pub- lic works in hard times, and we have trebled our federal expenditure in aid to unemployment, yet there are lim- itations upon the application of this principle. Not only must we refrain from robbing industry and commerce of its capital, and thereby increasing unemployment, but such works re- quire long engineering and legal in- terludes before they produce actual employment. Above all, schemes of public works which have no repro- ductive value would result in sheer waste. The remedy to economic de- pression is not waste but the creation and distribution of wealth. Refused Subsidy Schemes “It has been urged that the federal government should abandon its sys- tem of employment agencies and should appropriate large sums to sub- sidize their establishment in other hands, I have refused to accept such schemes, as they would in many places endow political organizations with the gigantic patronage of work- men’s jobs. That would bring about the most vicious tyranny ever set up in the United States. We have in- stead expanded our federal govern- ment agencies which are on nonpo- litical basis. They are of far greater service to labor. “We have had one proposal after another which amounts to a dole from the federal treasury. The larg- est is that of unemployment insur- ance, I have long advocated such in- surance as an additional measure of safety against rainy days, but only through private enterprise or through cooperation of industry and labor it- self. The moment the government enters into this field it invariably de- generates into the dole. For noth- ing can withstand the political pres- sures which carry governments over this dangerous border. The net re- sults of governmental doles are to lower wages toward the bare subsist- ence level and to endow the slacker. It imposes the injustice of huge bur- which receive no benefits. ..... “There have been some complaints And that machinery is func- Hardship Not Realized “An analysis indicates that the I believe that some of these the develop- As a There have been complaints Yet these nations tion will ultimately absorb the pro- duction of our farmers, but our agri- culture was attuned to the export business and is of necessity passing a prolonged crisis in its shift to a do- mestic basis.

The undue pro- portion of taxes which falls upon farmers, home owners, and ail real- property holders as eompared to other forms of wealth and income demands real relief. There are far wider questions of our social and eccnomic life which this experience will illum- inate. We shall know much more of the method of still further advance toward stability, security, and wider diffusion of the benefits of our eco- nomic system.

That step was accompanied by the momen- tous treaties which restored good will) n among the nations bordering upon the Pacific ocean and gave to all the world inestimable blessings of peace and security. Years Show Achievement i ‘The new and changing problems of many other constructive acts of his administration. The reorganization and reduction of the public debt, the reduction in taxation, the creation of ization of industry and employment, new services to agriculture, the estab- lishment of a permanent system of care for disabled veterans and their dependents—are but some of the en- lightened measures which he inspired and advanced. “But this is neither the time nor place in historic retrospect to cata- logue his many services to our coun- try. They will be recorded and grate- fully remembered by his countrymen. “Our thoughts today turn to the man himself. My first meeting with Warren Harding ever lingers in my memory. It was during the war and anxiety. Late one evening the then Senator Harding, whom I had never met, came to my office. When he was announced there flashed into my mind the thought, that here was some complaint or a request for some ap- pointment. Instead the senator said simply: “I have not come to get any- thing. I just want you to know that if you wish the help of a friend, tele- phone me what you want. I am there to serve and to help.” That state- |ment, I came to learn, was typical of him. I refer to it now because it reveals the nature of the man. I was one of those who accompanied the late president on his fateful trip across the continent and to Alaska. He had wished to learn from the People their needs and to translate to them his own aspirations. Those who were his companions on that journey reaiized full well that he had overstrained even his robust strength in the gigantic task which confronted him during the previous two years. And we came also to know that here was a man whose soul was being seared by a great disillusionment. We saw him gradually weaken not only from physical exhaustion but from mental anxiety. Warren Harding had a dim realization that he had been betrayed by a ‘few of the men whom he had trusted, by men whom he tad believed were his devot- ed friends. It.was later proved in the courts of the land that these men had betrayed not alone the friendship and trust of their stanch and loyal friend but they tad betrayed their country, That was the tragedy of the life of Warren Harding.

Harding, 29th president of the United States. This beautiful monument, erected by the voluntary subscriptions of the people, symbolizes their government and in the integrity of their institutions, the lowering of respect for the standards of honor which prevail in high places, are crimes for which punishment can never atone. Warren Harding gave his life in worthy accomplishment for his coun- try. He was a man of delicate sense of honor, of sympathetic heart, of transcendent gentleness of soul—who reached out for friendship, who gave of it loyally and generously in his every thought and deed. He was a man of passionate patriotism. He was a man of deep religious feeling. He was devoied to his fellow men. No revelation of his character can equal that of his own words just before his death.

Ledson, 32, a divorcee, has forsaken her 14-year-old son, her country, and all possessions to become a Buddhist nun. Tuesday she was the only Cal- ifornia voman—perhaps the only American woman—to be ordained as such, In a ritual performed in Zen Temple of Buddhism here Mon- day night, she renounced the world, ‘ook the four vows, sub- scribed to the 10 precepts, and exchanged her name for that of Unkan which means a “cloud in the valley.” Soon she will leave for Japan where she will have her head shaved, don the coarse clothes of a novice, and enter a nunnery. After two years she plans to re- turn to America to aid in the spreading of Buddhism. Mrs. Ledson was ordained by her teacher, the Rev.
