The Weekly Caledonian WEDNESDAY JULY 21, 1920 Harding Speech of Accept ,. ' Ance A New Kewnote ;., (Continued from Page 1 ) mean ro defend, aye,, we menu io su tain. the rights of tlili nation und our cltifens alike, everywhere under the ahlnlcg eun. let there Is tlie concord of amity and sympathy and fraternity In every resolution. There is a genu ine aspiration In every American breast for a tranijuil friendship with all the world. One may readily sense the con science of our America.- I am sure 1 understand the purpose of the dom inant group of th senate. We were not seeking to defeat a world aspira tlbnf.we ' were resolved to safeguard America. We were resolved then, even as we are today, and will be tomor row, to preserve this free and Inde pendent republic. In the call of the conscience of America Is peace, peace that closes the gaping wound of world war, and si lences the. impussloned voices of In ternational envy and distrust. Hid ing this call and knowing as 1 do the disposition of the Congress, I promise yput formal and effective peace so quickly as a Republican Congress can pal it declaration for a Itepublleun executive to sign. It; is better to be the fine nnd disinterested agent of International justice1 and - advancing civilization, with; the covenant of conscience, than be fcnackleds by a written compact which surrenders our freedom of nc tiouand gives to a military alliance the"fght to proclaim America's duty , ttf 'the world. No surrender of rights toaPworld council or its military al liance, no assumed mandatary how ever appealing, ever snail summon uie sons of this republic to war. Their supreme sacrifice shall only be asked Mf America and its call of honor. There Is a sanctity in that right wo will; not delegate. Leaving America Independent. 'Disposed as we are, the way Is very simple. Let the failure attending as sumption, obstinacy, Impracticability and delay be recognized,- unil let us find the big, practical, unselfish way to do our part, neither covetous be cause Of ambition nor hesitant thronth f ear; tut ready to serve ourselves, hu manity and God. With a senate ad vising as the constitution contemplates, I 'would hopefully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, proposing that understanding which mokes us a willing participant in the consecra tion of nations to a new relationship, to; commit the moral forces of the world, America included, to pence and International Justice, still leaving Am erica free, independent and self-reliant, but offering friendship to all the world. .. It is folly to close our eyes to out standing facts. Humanity is restive, much of the world is in revolution, the agents of discord and destruction have wrought their tragedy in pathetic Bussla, have lighted their torches among other peoples, and hope to see 1orica as a part of the great Red a 1 I ... 41 I .. M .1'vuungrtiuun. isurs is uie leiupie ui upeny unuer uie iuv, unu it is ours iu call the Sons of Opportunity to Its de fense. America must not only save herself, but ours must be the appealing voice to sober the world. It must be understood that toll alone psakes, for accomplishment and ad vancement, and righteous possession Is the reward of toll, and its incentive. There is no progress except in the stimulus of competition. ; . The chief trouble today is that (he world war wrought the destruction of healthful competition, left our store- 'bouses empty, and there is a minimum production - when our need is max imum. Maximums, not mlnlmums, is tile call of America. It isn't a new : tOry, because war never falls to leave ' depleted storehouses and always Im pairs the efficiency of production. War .also establishes its higher standards for Wages, and they abide. I wish the higher wage to abide, on obe explicit 'cbndltion that the wage-earner will gve full return for the wage received. ' Production, Mere Production. ' I Want, somehow, to appeal to the . sons ana uaugniera oi me rvpuuiir, to every producer, to Join hand and 5 brain In production, more production, 'holiest production, patriotic produc ' tlon, because patriotic production Is no less a defense ot our-best clvlllzn ' 'tion -than, that ot armed force. .Protl "teerlng Is a crime of commission, un-der-productlon is a crime of omission. " We must work our most and best, else ' the; destructive reaction will come, j.s Tne menacing tendency of the pres Mit day is not chargeable wholly to ; 'the unsettled and fevered conditions caused by the war. The manifest weakness in popular government lies In the temptation to appeal to grouped 1 dtizeashlp for political advantage. It would be the blindness of folly to Ignore the activities in our own coun try which are aimed to destroy orr . economic system, and to commit us to the colossal tragedy which has de stroyed all freedom and made Itussla Impotent This movement Is not to be . halted in throttled liberties. We must not abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of press, or the freedom of . assembly, because there Is no r-'oulso " In repression. These liberties are n ' taCred as the freedom ot religious b . lief, as inviolable us tba rights of Hf and the 'pursuit of happiness. We do hold- to the right to crush sedition, to Stifle a menacing contempt for 'aw, ' to stamp out a peril to the safety f the republic or its people, when emer- 'gency calls, because security nnd the' majesty of the law are tne nrst es , entials ot liberty.. He who threatens . destruction of the government by -ive ... er flaunts his contempt for lawful authority, ceases to he a loyal citizen and forfeits his rights to the freedom MnnKllfi M the wage-earner. To us his gooc" fortune is of deepest concern, and w seek to make that good fortune pe .' i ruaneut, We do not oppose but prove collective bargaining, becy ' thr-f Is an outstanding right, but w are unalterably Insistent that Its exer cise must not destroy the equully sa cred i lylit of the individual, in his uec essary pursuit of livelihood. Any American has the right to quit his em ployment, so has every American the right to seek employment. The group must not endanger Hie individual, and we must discourage groups preying upon one another, und none shall he ullowed to forget that the government's obligations are alike to nil the people. No Strike Against Government. We are so confident that much of the present-day Insufficiency nnd Inefficien cy of transportation aiv due to the withering hand of government opera tion ihat we emphasize anew our oppo sition to government ownership, we want to expedite the reparation nnd make sure the mistake is not repented. A slate of inadequate transporta tion facilities, nininly chargeable to the failure of governmental experi ment, Is losing millions to agriculture. It is hindering Industry. It Is menac ing the American people with a fuel shortage little less than a peril. It em phasizes the present-day problem and suggests that spirit of encouragement and assistance which commits all America to relieve such an emergency. CJross expansion of currency and credit have depreciated the dollar Just as expansion nnd inflation have dis credited the coins of the world. We Inflated in haste, we must deflate In deliberation. We debased the dollar In reckless finance, we must restore in honesty. In all sincerity we promise the pre vention of unreasonable profits, we challenge profiteering with all the mor al force and the legal powers of gov ernment nnd people, but It Is fair, aye, it is timely, to give reminder that law Is not the sole corrective of our ecq nomlc Ills. Drive Against Extravagance. Let us call to all the people for thrift and economy, for denial nnd sac rifice If need be, for a nation-wide drive against extravagance nnd lux ury, to a recommittal to simplicity of living, to that prudent and normal plan of life which is the health of the re public. New conditions, which attend amaz ing growth ami extraordinary indus trial development, call for a new nnd forward-looking program. The Ameri can farmer hnd a hundred and twenty millions to feed in the home market, and heard the cry of the world for food and answered It, though he faced an appalling task amid handicaps never encountered before. Contemplating the defcnselessness of the individual farmer to meet the or ganized buyers of bis products and the distributors of the things the farmer buys, I hold that farmers should not only be permitted but encouraged to Join In co-operative association to reap the Just measure of reward merited by their arduous toll. Our platform Is an earnest pledge of renewed concern for this most essen tial and elemental Industry and In notn appreciation and interest we pledge effective expression In law and practice. We will hall that co-operation which again will make profitable and desirable the ownership and op eration of comparatively small farms Intensively cultivated, and which will facilitate the caring for the products of farm and orchnrd without the lamentable waste under present condi tions. America would look with anxiety on the discouragement of fanning ac tivity either through the government's neglect or Its paralysis by socialistic practices. A Republican administra tion will be committed to renewed re gard for agriculture, and seek the participation ot farmers In curing the Ills Justly complniued of, and aim to place the American farm where It ought to be highly ranked In Ameri can activities and fully sharing the highest good ' fortunes of American life. Becomingly associated with this subject are the policies of Irrigation and reclamation, so essential to agri cultural expansion, and the continued development of the great and wonder-' ful West. It is our purpose to con tinue und enlarge federal aid, not In sectional partiality, but for the good of all Amerlcn. I believe the budget system will ef fect a necessary, helpful reformation, and reveal business methods to gov ernment business. I believe federal departments should be mnde more business-like and send back to productive effort thousands of federal employees, who are either duplicating work or not essential at all. 1 believe In the protective tariff policy and know we will be calling for Its saving Americanism again. I believe in n great merchant ma rine. I would have this republic the leading maritime nation of the world. I believe In a navy ample to pro tect It, and able to assure us depend able defense. I believe In a small army, but the best in the world, with a mindfulness for preparedness which will avoid the unutterable cost of our previous neg lect. I believe In our eminence In trade abroad, which the government should aid iu expanding, both In revealing markets and speeding cargoes. I believe in establishing standards for Immigration, which are concerned with the future citizenship of the re public, not with mere man-power In In dustry. I believe that every man who dons the garb of American citizenship and walks In the light of American oppor tunity, must become American in heart nnd soul. I believe in holding fast to every forward step In unshackling child lu- bor nnd elevating conditions of wom an's employment. I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and re move that stain from the fuir name of America. I believe the federal government should give Its effective aid In solving the problem of maple and becomiug housing of its citizenship. I believe this government should make Its Liberty and Victory bonds wortli nil that Its patriotic citizens puid iu purchasing them. Taxes Must Be Reduced. I believe the tax burdens imposed for the war emergency must be re vised to the needs of peace, and In the Interest of equity la distribution of the burden. I believe the negro citizens of Amer ica should be guaranteed the enjoy ment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices In blood on the battlefields Of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and op portunity, all of sympathy nnd aid thnt the American spirit of fairness and justice demands. I believe there Is nn easy and open path to righteous relationship with Mexico. It has seemed to me that our undeveloped, uncertain and Infirm policy has made us a culpable parly to the governmental misfortunes In that land. Our relations ought to be both friendly and sympathetic; we would like to acclaim u stable government there, nnd offer a neighborly hand in pointing the way to greater progress. I believe In law enforcement. If elected I mean to be a constitutional president, and it is impossible to Ignore the constitution, unthinkable to evade the law, when our every com mittal Is to orderly government. The four million defenders on land nnd sea were worthy of the best tradi tions of a people never war-like in peace and never pacifist In war. They commanded our pride, they have our gratitude, which must have genuine ex pression. It is not only a duty, it Is u privilege to see that the sacrifices made shall be requitted, and that those still suffering from casualties and dis abilities shall be abundantly aided and restored to the highest capabilities of citizenship and Its enjoyment. Advocates Woman Suffrage. The womanhood of America, always Its glory, Its inspiration and the potent, uplifting force iu its social and spir itual development, is about to lie en franchised In so far as congress can go, the fact Is already accomplished. By party edict, by my recorded vote, by personal conviction I am committed to this measure of justice. It is my earnest hope, my sincere desire that the one needed state vote be quickly recorded in the affirmation of the right of equal suffrage and that the vote of every citizen shall be cast and counted in the approaching election. And to the great number of noble women who have opposed In convic tion this tremendous', change in the ancient relation of the sexes as ap plied to government, I venture to plead that they will accept the full respon sibility of enlarged citizenship nnd give 1o the best Jn the republic their suf frage and support. Ours is not only n fortunate people but a very couimon-soiislcal people, with vision high but their feet on the earth, with belief In themselves and 'alth In (.Sod. Whether enemies thrent from without or menaces a rise within, there is some indefinable saying, "Hive confidence in the lie! America will go on!" LUNENBURG i ivirs. u.
