Harding Takes Shot at , Waste by Democrats - (Continued Jom Pace One.) covenant, but war continues. We have' entered, into no covenant and we have actual peace, but we have also the aftermath of the war in high cost of living, in disturbed social conditions and in uncertainty in our industrial and financial af fairs, f "What we need is to have the gov ernment stop its extravagance as an example to individual thrift. Just now we need to practice economy in all things. This may sound like mockery to the man or woman whose all is consumed in the struggle for existence, but its ap plication is to those who are ex pending unnecessarily, for their waste is the cause of want to those who have not enough. O. 6. P. Cut Down Expense. "When the republican congress elected in 1918 came into control of the legislative branch of the gov ernment it did so under a pledge to reduce the cost of government and to stop extravagance and waste. That nledee has been splendidly Jcept, and this, too, in the face of de-1 terminea ana persisxeni cuons ij the party in power in the adminis trative branch of government to maintain its. saturnalia of extrava gance. The republicans of the six-tv-sixth congress passed the eight supply bills below the amount they had carried, as prepared ana pre sented by the 'former democratic congress. This saving aggregated nearly $1,000,000,000. "The democratic party came into power upon the promise to reduce the high cost of living. Well, I submit they havefl't succeeded very well. However, extraordinary con ditions have contributed to advance prices and profiteering has added its irritations. Cultivate Our Neighbors. "There is another thought which is suggested by our neighborly rela tion' and common interest. Nobody has thought of American aloof iress to the world, nobody would tolerate the thought of American failure to make full contributioii to world progress, maintained peace snd preserved peace. But, fraakly, doesn't our sphere for the greater and more helpful influences lie in our natural partnership on the west ern continent, in the pan-American comity;- much dreamed about, but so little realized? "It would be better to cultivate waiting opportunities in friendly' soil 1:1 the new world than chase a phan tcih amid the envies and rivalries of the old."
