Womanhood Earned Rights, Says Harding U (.ntimifU From Page Four.) school children, ur.d even of adults, suffer from undernourishment. 1 i n ay congratulate you that there is little of It In the west. Perhaps it is true that as to most of the adults the fault is of the individual rather han society. Whether that he true ■ or not we can at least agree that ^ * he children are not to he blamed or their shave in such misfortunes. Bw f society has permitted the develop ■ \ient of a system under which the ^■*rltlzens of tomorrow suffer these de ^■prlvations today, then the obligation V Is surely upon society to right the W wrong and to Insure justice to the >' children who are not responsible for ■ being here. P Must Consider Parents. But we can not expect to bring full justice, full equality of circum stances and opportunity to the, chil dren, unless we shall make it pos sible for the parents. We are all too much given, I suspect, to a. rather unthinking admiration for our high ly mechanized social system under which w-e have abundantly produced wealth and the possibilities of com fort and culture. We have not thought enough about the evils at tendant upon the great inequities which mark the distribution of our stupendous product. But we are com ing into a time when more and more we are giving thought to these things. Our satisfaction in the material achievements of our Industrial age is being qualified as it never was be fore by our questionings along these lines. We are thinking of the weaker links In the social chain. AVe believe the equality of opportunity must be attended by a fitness to embrace It. Here, again, the war was responsi • hie for a great broadening of our I social vision. It made its demand upon the highest and the lowest, the proudest and the humblest. It de manded a sacrifice that was just as Lren t in the case of the poor man IJ the rich man. AVhat was more, :t *ought a realization of the fact that men and women were of real service to the community just in proportion as they were capable of producing the things that were needed. So the workers, the builders, the" producers attained a new sense of their dignity and importance. Con templating its supreme crisis, the community was willing to render to those who were capable of serving it effectively in this juncture, a great er share of their product than they had formerly been accustomed to receive. AVages. the world over, went to new high levels, salaries and fixed incomes shrank to lower levels of actual exchange value. There was a leveling up from the lower strata and downward from the higher. On the whole, despite many instances of injustice and of maladjustment in ttfs process, its results marked a long idvanee oil the road to equity and justice aa among all elements of the community. A few years of civiliza tion's desperate grapple with destiny bought to the working masses of the world an aggregate betterment of conditions, a general Improvement of circumstances and opportunity, which otherwise would have been possible only through the slow processes of jj generations. » Have Forgotten lesson. L^LAVe know now that the advances ^Tvhich were thus effected In the direc- j /ion of social justice and economic I •equality will not be relinquished ’ without determined opposition. There those who, regarding the In justices of the old order as inevitable, mistakenly assumed that by a simple process which they called ^he ‘'defla tion of labor" the old relationships Would presently be restored. They Insisted that “wages must come down." some of them went so far as to sound the slogan that “organ ized labor must be crushed." These have forgotten the lesson In organization, in co-operation, in community of sacrifice, by which civilization had been able to rescue Itself. They had forgotten that the right of organization, and of co operative dealings, is not any longer the special prerogative of manage ment and of capital. The right of men. and brains, and skill, ami brawn, to organize. to bargain through organizations, to select their own leaders and spokesmen, is no whit less absolute than 19 the right of management and of capital to form and work through those great concentrations of interests which we call corporations. Labor, Indeed, is fast becoming one of the great builders of capital. Whether it concentrates its savings by depositing them in its own banks, of which the number is rapidly in creasing, or pools them with the gen eral savings of society by making Its deposits in other banks, the result Is the same. Labor is more and more coming to be the financier and back er of its own employment. We shall not go back to the time when consid erable elements In the community k were wont to assume that a sharp ■ line of demarcation should be drawn B bet ween labor and capital. ■fc Labor is becoming more and more W a capitalist on its own account, and J capital Is more and more discovering I that It must work, must contribute, must give us, through some superi ority of method and management, a Jusifictlon for its existence as a sort of separate estate.

Jt Is equally the prerogative of labor. Gained Wrong Impression. I am quite aware that there were some who imagined, before the pres ent administration was voted into re sponsibility, that it was going at leasfc to acquiesce if not definitely sympathize with the projects for the deflation of labor and the overthrow of labor organizations. Before this time these have come to realize their error. Nothing has been further from the purpose of the present administra tion than any thought of destroying the right of either labor or capital to organize, and each to deal In Its or ganized capacity. We have recognized that there arc evils and abuses on both sides of the almost Imaginary line which now is presumed to separate labor and capi tal. We have wished and sought to minimize these abuses, through bet ter organizations and better under standing, without destroying organ izations or the right to form them. We have not wished to compel men to work when they did not want to work: we have not wished to compel employers to keep men at work un der conditions which were impossible: but we have earnestly sought to les sen the occasions for conflict between the two parties. We have tried to bring to both of them a realization that both owed in this connection an obligation to the great public interest which is always the great sufferer by reason of their conflict. In this connection let me say quite frankly that I know there were some elements which hoped for a great and decisive conflict between organized employment and organized labor, and that those elements wore not all on either side of the Imaginary dividing .line. On the capital side of the line were those who hoped that the ad ministration would lend Itself to their program of breaking down organized labor and sending it back to the era of individual bargaining for the in dividual job. On the labor side of, the line were those who hoped, by exorbitant demands and an attitude of uncompromising insistence, to force the nationalization of some of our most Important industries and services. Between these two extreme groups, confident we had behind us the overwhelming public opinion of the nation, we have tried to hold the scales even; to prevent on the one side the destruction of organized labor, and on the other side to frustrate those programs which looked to the ultimate destruction of private capital and the nationalization of all the instrumentalities of pro duction. Have Saved Nation. How well have we succeeded? At least, we have saved the nation from the extremists of both sides. Those who were sure that our salvation lay In the destruction of organized labor and the precipitated reduction of wages have found that the national administration was not disposed to acquiesce in# their program. For many months past they have noted that the demand for labor was greater than the supply: that Instead of mil lions of men out of jobs, there were tens of thousands of Jobs without workers: that instead of a sharp and progressive reduction of jabor’s wage, there has been now for a long time a ptendy, cont.nulng. persistent in crease in that wage. On the other side, those who would have been glad to drive the eountry into an Industrial crisis through the stoppage of production, and to force the nationalization or communizatlon of industry, have been equally disappointed in the outcome. I believe our policy, and its re sults, hare reflected the gound judg ment of the overwhelming mnjorlty of the American people. I believe this people is firmly and finally com mitted to the Ideal of preserving the fullest rights of private initiative and private enterprise, together with the right of organization on both sides of the line between capital and labor, and always consistent with the right of the public to be served efficiently and at a reasonable cost. We have come thus far. and thus fortunately, through the most diffi cult period of reconstruction that we have ever known. We have been sheltered against the world storm of tendency to social revolution. The best test of policy is by results. By that test we ask no more than a fair and reasoned verdict on our program. We ask that its results be compared with the showing. In these after-war years, that can be presented by any other country on the face of the earth. We ask that you examine the contrast, thoughtfully and serlni^'v, between the general state of the | b Iic weal in this country and in others. For our vindication, we point to s great nation, its credit preserved, its industries crowded to the point of capacity production, its people em ployed. Its wage scales high beyond all comparison with any other In the world, its banking system standing SH the final hulwark of sound money and the gold standard, and its aver age level of comfort and prosperity A Mistake About the Order But None About the Results. Last Wednesday Mrs. Jensen, 5215 North Twenty-fourth street, telephoned a “Want” Ad to The Omaha Bee. Shp wanted to sell some furniture and asked to have the ad run beginning with the Big Sunday Bee. Through a mistake the ad was run Thursday morning. Before 8 o'clock this same morning, Mrs. Jensen had receivfd several calls. In fact she had received ro many that she called the “Want” Ad department of The Omaha Bee to explain that she did not want to sell her furniture before Sunday and to ask that we be sure not to get the ad in the Evening Bee, as the telephone had been keeping her so busy she had not had time to do her housework. This is the little Omaha Bee "Want” Ad that upset Mrs. Jen sen’s morning: . rURNITt-Hr. ~t 6 in, hnu».

I would speak of Russia and the i colossal failure of its mad experi ment. The dissatisfied working forces of America, where there aro such, and the parlor theorists who have yet to create a single thing useful to aspiring human kind, will find there less of freedom, much less of reward. and little of hope in much proclaimed emancipation. Royal absolutism has been destroyed, only 10 be superseded by what appears to be despotism in the name of democracy. To a limited few of democracy's advocates hats come vast power. Perhaps wealth attends. Undoubtedly a new Russia is in the making and there is no doubt the present sponsorship will j curt ive. Apart front the tragedy of it all, I am glad Russia Is making the experi ment. If i.'0 centuries of the Chris tian era and its great story of human progress, and the countless centuries before the light of Christianity flamed ha»e been lived and recorded upon mistaken theories of a righteous so cial order, then everything is wrong, Christianity a failure, and all of civil ization a failure. I think Russia is .. .— going to rivet anew our belief jn | established social order. Meanwhile. | we know ours m ihe best the work has revealed, and I preach the gospel of holding fast to that which hns proven good, ever trying in good const ictice to make it better, and con sider and treat us an enemy every man who chooses our land as a haven in which to assail the very institu tions which shelter him. There are two phases of the com I init men t of the great human family.1 it is of ifttle use to advance unless »'e hold to tile advanced position. It in useless to construct Unless we pre serve In the recognised test which out- civil zetion is now undergoing America's supreme task is one of preservation.
