Gamble Tells of Scope of
Readjustment Congress
President of Omaha Chamber
of Commerce Outlines Pur
poses and-Aims of
Session.
Following the addresses of wel
come by Mayor Smth. for the city
of Omaha and Governor McKelvie
for the state of Nebraska, John V.
Gamble, president of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, gave a de-
tailed account of the scope, purposes
ana aims 01 me 1 ransmississippi
. . rr . . . . ,
Readjustment congress,
Mr. Gam-
ble said in part:
"When we behold the terrible loss
of so many young lives, when we
see so mpnyjncarnations of physical
and moral vigor, of intellect and of
glorious promise, pitilessly cut off
in their first flower, we are on the
verge of dispair. ' 4
"Never before have the energies
and aspirations of men been flung
recklessly and incessantly into an
abyss, whence comes no sound or
answer. Never since it came into
existence has humanity squandered
its treasure its substance and its
prospects so lavishly.
"We have wondered uneasily what
the state of the world would be
after the great trial and what would
be left of it and what would be 'the
future of this stunted 'race, shorn
of the best and noblest part of it.
"We know that if a third or fourth
of the fabulous sums expended on
extermination and destruction had
been devoted to the works of peace,
all the iniquities that poison the air
we breathe would have been triumphantly-
redressed and that the
social question would have found
its definite solution once and for all
and in a happiness which now per
haps even our sons and grandsons
will not realize.
Two to Three Millions Dead.
"We know that the disappearance
of 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 young exist,
ences, cut down when they were on
the point of bearing fruit, will leave
in history a void that will not easily
be rilled, and as we know that among
those dead were mighty intellects,
treasurers of genius which will not
come back again and which con
tained inventions and discoveries
that will now perhaps be lost to us
for centuries.
"Granting all this, it is a good
thing to "recover our balance and
stand upon our feet. Everything is
transformed nothing perishes and
that which seems to be hurled into
destruction is not destroyed at all.
Our moral world is a vast but her
metically ' sealed sphere, whence
naught can issue; whence naught
can dissolve in space. All that ex
ists, all that comes into being upon
this earth, remains there and bears
fruit and the most appalling wast
age is but material or spiritual rich
es flung away for an instant to fall
to the ground again in new form.
The Congresi.
"To put into practical suggestions
the ideas expressed in the foregoing
statements, is the work of the Trans
mississippi Readjustment congress,
which it is our pleasure and our
honor to entertain at this time.
"The initial work already has been
done. At the Atlantic City meeting,
held last December, under the aus
pices of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, the first step
was taken. This was probably the
most remarkable meeting that has
ever been held in this country and
the effects of this meeting are al
ready being felt in all sections of the
country. It was evidenf to all who
attended, that while this meeting
was the first step, other steps must
follow in their logical order.
"The east being essentially manu
facturing, the work that was done
had to do very large1 "nvith this in
dustry. It went "urther than
this, however, Wu me expression
that came out of this meeting was
the expression not only of what
would be done in this section, but
also was .an expression of many
other parts of the country as to our
course of action with reference to
big national problems.
'The slogan. "Food will win the
war," has probably been more im
pressed upon the minds of the
American public than any other slo
gan that has had to do with the
war. It. is very fitting, therefore,
that we discusse the food prob
lems -during the - readjustment
period. The 18 states represented
in th!$ congress, are essentially food
producing states and it is fortunate
indeed that Omaha has the honor of
being the means through which this
great region finds expression on this
all important question.
"The sudden transition from a
peaceful nation to a war-like nation
THE
Copyright. Kit. Internstlon'l

CfiSe TDN-oi2(2tvv. )
"'" - r1 i ' "
-
has been one of the greatest tests of
the strength of our country that the
world has ever known. The sud
den transition from a nation en
gaged in the greatest war of all his
tory, to a peaceful nation, presents
even more and greater problems
than did the former. This ' being
true, the things that we do during
the coming three days will have an
influence that will be exerted years
after those of us who participate
have passed from the scene of ac
tion. "With the sudden termination of
mn
nit, nai, many umluiuimcicu
tr..tc .;n ,.:ct vf0,r;,i t, ua
completion of these has been pur
chased. Production has been sped
up to meet tb,ese needs and now we
must decide, and rightly decide,
what is the proper adjustment of
these matters from the standpoint
of the government, from the stand
point of the owners of the plants
and from the standpoint of labor,
which made it possible to comply
with the demands.
The Wheat Price.
"The farmer, who produced the
wheat, who today is producing
wheat, responded to the call. How
shall the future question of price he
determined? Shall we continue to
arbitrarily fix prices, or shall we.
with the least loss and the least
friction, attempt to restore the law
of supply and demand? Who has
a better right to say more on these
matters than the men most vitally
affected? I am glad to see they are
well represented here and that their
counsel in this congress will be
most valuable.
"If the law of supply and demand
is to be superseded by another plan,
how shall the matter be handled, so
that men who put their lives, their
capital and their credit into the
business of taking the farmer's food
stuffs and delivering them to the
mills and to the factories be treated,
for we must remember that in the
readjustment, the least disturbances
will result if all mdtters are taken
into consideration, and a patriotic
view of the whole question is con
sidered. Live Stock Question.
"Directly related to the question
of food stuffs is the question of live
stock. The -price of hogs bears a
certain relation to the price of corn.
The same is true of the cattle. What
is to be the relation between the
producer and the manufacturer for
the months to come? What better
way of answering this question can
be found that for the people most
vitally interested both from the
standpoint of the producer and the
manufacturer to get together and
discuss the best methods of hand
ling this all important question?
Employment Question.
"I am one who believes that we
stand at the threshold of a new era
with respect to employer and em
ploye. We are all human beings.
The employe of today is the em
ployer of tomorrow. The problems
are identical and the reason that
there has been a widening gulf be
tween these men has been due very
largely to the fact that they have
not fully understood each other.
"Already there is a marked dis
position to become better acquaint
ed. The business, men of the United
States are squarely on record
on this matter and their attitude
was voiced at the Atlantic City
meeting by more than one of the
foremost employers of labor in the
country. This meeting will not
have accomplished its purpose un
less there shall come from it a bet
ter understanding and a better
working basis not only for the em
ploye but also for the employer.
Highway Question.
"The war demonstrated very
clearly a great weakness. This weak
ness is our lack of well built and
well developed highways. The future
prosperity of the farmer, the labor
ing man, the manufacturer and in
fact every bne, depends to a large
extent upon' what we do nationally
with our highways during the next
few years. A splendid start has been
made, but we need more cohesion, a
better developed and more fully
understood plan of road building
and more thorough co-operation on
the part of all of our people. In
this, as in the foregoing matters, we
have an opportunty to contribute
very largely to this end.
"One more thing that must not be
overlooked. Vast sums of money
are needed to properly finance the
work of the1 readjustment period.
Our financial institutions must be
taken into account. 1 may say that
our financ:al institutions are ready
to assist the people in all legitimate
enterprise both old and nev.
"There is just one thins that must

not be overlooked in this connection.
The war is not yet over. By this I
mean that until the next Liberty
loan has been successfully placed,
and our armies safely returned from
foreign fields, we cannot consider
that the war is really ended.
"Naturally there has been some in
flation during the past few years.
Not enough, however, to be alarm
ing in any degree. Care must be ex
ercised that credits do not become
inflated to the point where legiti
mate industry might be restricted.
"There is, I regret to say, some
what of a tendency to feel that the
coming victory loan need not neces
sarily be distributed in the same
manner as the last one. This tend
ency should be discouraged.
"We should all resolve, therefore,
that we 'will assume our just propor
tion of this, that we will dispose
of it quickly and effectively, in order
to be free for the great opportuni
ties that are before us and in so do
ing we will render the greatest pos
sible service to ourselves and to our
country."
