1 clenl and wisa management of th<
I nation's affairs, both domestic and
, International, and substantial resulti
E in relieving “the evils of eight years
C of Democratic misrule" ivcie claimed
t for the Harding administration In
t an addrrss here today by Senatoi
' Watson. Republican. Indiana, before
the Indiana Republican state con
i. vention.
For years it has been the custom
t of Indiana Republicans to have the
keynote of the national campaigns
sounded before them, end Senator
Wataon's speech, which was olscuss
. ed In advance with President Hard«
lag. will be incorporated in the party
- literature for the congressional
4 campaign this fall.
Senator Wulson pra scJ the execu
• five, legislative and diplomatic rec
ord of the present administration
and flayed the recent Democratic
- administrations as "debt-incurring,
deficit-creating, bond-issuing, sur
plua-acattering. factory-closing, in
dustry-paralysing. prosperity de
stroying. social upheaving and cats
! clyam producing."
"We are not responsible for all
this waste,” he declared.
Reduction of taxes and appro
priations, reorganization of the ship
ping board, agricultural relief, the
tariff bill and diplomacy of tha
present administration were empha
lized by Senator Watson.
| "This administration does not
need an apologist." said Senator
Watson. “No administration ever
before came :nto power confronting
such problems of such complexity
ana aimcuuy as moss wmcn wtr«
Inherited by President Hardin* and
the Republican congress."
President Harding's call for the
arms conference, he declared was
"the largest step toward interna
tional peace with justice the world
has known In all Its history." and
the whole world, he said, applauded
the results The four power treaty
i the senator said, brought under
standing and assurances for peace.
C Declination of the invitation to
! '' « Genoa conference also was
P commended by Mr. Watson who said
it was a political and not an eco
nomic conference.
"The world by this time ought to
understand." he continued, "that we
do not Intend to become Involved in
; their political wrangles and that we
■-ara willing to lend aid or give coun
sel and maintain always a sympa
thetic attitude, yet we will refuse to
: bf dragged into their financial dif
ficulties and we always will decline
to meddle with their national afTairs
or to become involved in their age
old rivalries We do not Intend to
get Into confused jumble of Euro
pean anlrrtosities. This altitude of
the administration meets with the
hearty approval of everybody except
internationalists of a most extreme
♦vbe '* ^
In domestic affairs. Senator Wat
ann said the Harding administration
stood for "full freedom in business
and a recognition of the larger
right of the individual to control
and operate his own business af
’ ^"The ‘new freedom’ preached by
Woodrow Wilson was a grotesque
travestv on the very name, he
■\dded. "while the enfranchisement
of business under Harding is an ac
complished fact.’’
‘Notwithstanding the near ap
!■ proach to collapse of the monetary
system of nearly every country in
-urope.'' he continued, "we have
balanced our budget, we are living
*"ilhin our income, we have issued
id) bonds and sold no treasury cer
idcates, we have paid off *1,000,
s'uOO.OOU of the public debt, we have
! jaduced taxation by *825,000,000 the
Itrsi year and *525.000.000 more the
s t ood year, ws have curtailed gov
Cernmental expenses $1,600,000,000
. ,.nd are today financially solvent and
■ i tmimercially sound and on the up
grade toward a normal resumption
of American prosperity."
The pending tariff bill, which he
helped draft, was a prominent sub
Jeot of Senator Watson's address. It
would do much he said to restore
business and prosperity. Protection,
fee added, had been a proven policy.
•This tariff." he added, "is not be
ing made to please free traders. We
41d not formulate it to suit import
**Ths Ptordney emergency tariff
law, the senator asserted, had “sav
the yrocl and eheep industry and
keen of immense value to the dairy
interests and to ths great benefit
of the farmer.”
Soldier bonus legislation is assur
ed “before the close of the present
semios.** according to Senator Wat
son, who declared it would “Involve
no additional taxation" and finally
twill be paid “by the use of bonds or
ieur debtor nations."
Reduction In railroad rates and
•rages must come. Senator Watson
—,H together with financial main
tenance of the carriers, but he de
i 'glared that railroad wages should
j met and would not return to pre
g mST levels.
The calling of unemployment la
$4* and business conferences by
f President Harding was commended
by Senator Watson who said that
Mr. Harding favored government by
"common counsel” and not the “au
toe racy" which he said had charac
terised the Wilson administration.
Huaeussing Indiana state affairs.
Senator Watson urged a united party
stand. Including support for Albert
t J. Beveridge, who won the Uepubll
OSB senatorial nomination from Sen
ator Harry S. New.
