‘RAILROADS CAN NO7 BE RETURNED UNDER OLD CONDITIONS’
WILSOH URGts GONGAEsa
10 STUDY THE QUESTION
fook place bofore, across 3,000 miles
of sea, followed by adequate equip
ment and supplies, and carried
safely through extraprdinary dan
gers of attack—dangers which were
alike strange and infinitely difficult
to guard against. In all this move
ment only 758 men were lost by
enemy attack—63o of whom were on
a =ingle English transport which
was sunk near the Orkney Islands.
1 need not tell you what lay back
of this great movement of men and
materials. It is not invidious to say
that back of it lay a supporting or
ganization of the industries of the
ecountry and of all its productive ac
tivities more complete, more thor
ough in method and effective in re
sult, more spirited and unanimous
in purpose and effort than any other
great belligerent had been able to
effect. We profited greatly by the
experience of the nations which had
already been engaged for nearly
three years in the exigent and ex
acting business, their every resource
and every executive proficlency
taxed to the utmost. We were thelr
pupils, But we learned quickly and
acted with a promptness and a
readiness of co-operation that jus
tify our great pride that we were
able to serve the world with un
paralleled energy and quick accom
plishment.

But it is not the physical scale

dispatch that 1 would dwell upon,
but the mettle and quality of ‘the
officers and men we sent ovet and
of the sailors who Kkept the scas,
and the spirit of the nation that
stood behind them. No soldiers or

until you feel sick and feverish, but just as soon as you
feel a Cold coming on

ward to the final triumph may now
forget all that and delight our
thoughts with the story of what
our men daid.
Their ofMecers understood the
grim and exacting task they had
undertaken and performed It with
an audacity, efMiciency and unhesi
tating courage that touch the story
of convoy and battle with imperish
able distinction at every. turn,
whether the enterprises were great
or small-from their great chiefs,
Pershing and Sims, down to the
youngest lieutenants; and thelr men
were worthy of them—such men as
hardly need to bs ecommanded and
who go to their terrible adventure
blithely and with the quick intelli
gence of those who know just what
it ils they would accomplish. I am
proud to be the fellow countryman
of men of such stuff and valour.
Those of us who stayed at home did
our duty; the war could not have
been won or the gallant men who
fought it given thelr opportunity to
win It otherwise; but for many a
long day we shall think ourselves
accursed because we were not there
and hold our manhoods cheap while
anvone speaks who fought with
those at St. Mihiel or Chateau
Thierry.
Turned Tide of Battle.
The memory of those days of tri
umphant battle will go with these
fortunate men to thelr graves;
and each will have his favorite
memory. “Old men forget; vet all
shall be forgot, but he'll remember
with advantages what feats he did
that day.”
What we all thank God for with
deepest gratitude Is that our men
went in force to the line of battle
just at the critical moment, when
the whole fate of the world seemed
to hang In the balance, and threw
their fresh strength into the ranks
of frecdom in time to turn the
whole tide and sweep of the fateful
struggle—turn it once for all, so
that henceforth it was back, back,
back for their enemies, always
back, never again forward!
After that it was only a scant
four months before the command
ers of the Central BEmpires knew
themselves beaten; and now their
very empires are In liquidation!
And throughout it all how fine
the spirit of the nation was, what
unity of purpose, what untiring
zeal! What elevation of purpose
ran through all lits splendid dis
play of strength, its untiring ac
complishment. 1 have sald that

supply will always wish we had
been with the men whom we sus
tained by our labor; but we can
never be ashamed
It has been an inspiring thing to
be here in the midst of fine men
who had turned aside from every
private interest of their own and
devoted the whole of their trained
capacity to the tasks that supplied
the sinews of the whole great un
dertaking! The patriotism the un
selfishness, thd thoroughgoing de
votion and distinguished capacity
that marked their toilsome labors,
day after day, month after month
have made them fit mates and
comrades of the men In the
trenches and on the sea. And not
the men here In Washington only,
They have but directed the vast
achlevement.
Tribute to Women.
Throughout Innumerable facto
ries. on innumerable farms, In the
depths of coal mines and iron min-s
and coupper mines, wherever the
stuffs of industry were to he ob
tained and pvepared, in the ship
yards, on the rallways, at the docks,
on the sea, in eyery labor that was
needed to sustafn the battle lines,
men have vied with each other to
do their part, and do It well, They
can look any man-at-arms in the
face and say: "“"We also strove to
win and gawy the best that was in
us to make our fleets and armies
sure of their triumph!”
And what shall we say of the
women-—of their {instant ilntelli
gence, quickening every task that
“they touched, their capacity for or
ganization and co-operation, which
gave their action discipline and
senhanced the effectiveness of
everything they attempted; their
aptitude at tasks to which they
had never before set their hands;
their utter self-sacrifice allke ‘in
what they did and in what they |
gave, Their contribution to the
great result is beyond appraisal,
They have added a new luster to
the annals of American woman
hood. The least tribute we can pay
them Is to make them the equals of
men in political tribute as they
have proved themselves their
equals In every fleld of practical
work they have entered, whether
2; themselves or for their coun-
These great days of completed
achievement would be sadly
marred were we to omit this act |
of justice. Besldes the limmense |
practical services they have ren
dered, the women of the country
have been the moving spirits in the
systematic economies by which our
people have voluntarily assisted to
supply the suffering peoples of the
world and the -.Tiu upon every
front with food and everything else
we had that might serve the com
mon cause. The details of such a
story can never he fully written,
but we carry them In our hearts
and thank God that we can say
we are the kinsmen of such.
And now we are sgure of the |
great triumphs for which every
sacrifice was made.
Turh to Peace Tasks,
It has come, come in its com
pleteness, and with the pride and in
spiration of these days of achleve
ment quick within us we turn to
the tasks of peace again—a peace
secure against the violence of irre
sponsble monarchs and ambitious
military coterles, and made ready
for a new order, for new founda
tions of justice and fair dealing
We are about to give orde:r and
organization to th's peace not only
for ourselves, but for the other peo
ples of the world as well, so far as
they will suffer us to serve them. It
is International Justice that we
seek, not domestic safety merely.
Our thoughts have dwelt of late
upon Europe, upon Asia, upon the
Near and the Far East, very little
upon the acts of peace and accom
modation that wait to be performed
at our doors.
While we are adjusting our rela
tions with the rest of the world is
it not of eapital Importance that we
should clear away all grounds of
~ misunderstanding with our imme
~ diate nelghbors and give proof of
the friendship we really feel? 1
hope the members of the Senate
~ will permit me to speak once more
of the unratified treaty of friend
ship and adjustment with the Re
publiec of Columbia. 1 very earnest
ly urge upon them an early and
- favorable action upon that vital
matter. I belleve they will feel,
with me, that the stage of affairs
is now set for such action as will
be not only just, hut generous and
~in the spirit of the new age upon
| which we have so happlly entered.
Our Problem Easiest.
So far as our domestic affairs
ara concerned, the problem of our
return to peace !s a probleam of
economic and Industrial readjust
ment. That problem ls less seri
ous for us than it may turn out to
be for the nations which have suf
fered the dfsarrangements and the
Josses of war longer than we. Our
people, moreover, do not wait to be
coached and led. They know their
~ own business, are quick and re
~ sourceful at every readjustment,
~ definite In purpose, and self-reliant
in action.
Any leading strings we might
meak to put them in would specdily
become hopelessly tangled, hecause
they would pay no attention to
them and go their own way All
that we can do as their legislative
and exrcutive servants is to me

Return to Peace Footing.
It has been the policy of the ex
ecutive, therefore, since the armis
tice was assured (which Js, in ef
fect, a complete subinission of the
enemy), to put the knowledge of
these bodies at the disposal of the
business men of the country and to
offer their intelligent \mediation at
every point and In every matter
where it was desired. It is surpris
ing how fast the process of return
to a peace footing has moved in the
three weeks since the fighting
stopped. It promises to outrun any
Inquiry that may be instituted and
any aid that may be offered. It will
not be easy to direct it any better
than it will direct itself. The Amer
ican business man is of quick in
itiative,
The ordinary and normal proc
esses of private Initiative will not,
however, provide immediate em
ployment for all of the men of our
returning armies, Those who are
of trained capacity, those who are
skilled workmen, those who have
acquired familiarity with estab
lished busincsses; those who are
ready and willing to go to the
farms, all those whose aptitudes are
known will be sought out by em
flloyen and will find no difficulty, it
safe to say, in finding places of
employment., But there will be
others who will be a loss to gain
a livelihood unless tgalns are taken
to guide them and put them in the
way of work. There will be a large
floating residium of lahor whigh
should not be left wholly to shift
for itself. It seems to me impor
tant, therefore, that the develop
ment of public works of every sort
ghould be resumed promptly, in or
der that opportunities should be
created for unskilied labor in par
ticular, and that plans should be
made for such developments of our
unusued lands and our natural re
sources, as we have hitherto lacked
stimulation to undertake.
Reclamation of Land.
I particularly direct your atten
tion to the very practical plans
\ which the Secretary of the Interior
has developed in his annual report
and before your committees for the
reclamation of arid, swamp and
cut-over lands which might, if the
States were willing and able to co
operate, redeem some three hun
dred million acres of land for ecul
tivation.
There are said to be fifteen or
twenty million acres of land in the
West at present arid, for whose
reclamation water is available, if
properly conserved. There are about
two hundred and thirty million
acres from which the forests have
been cut, but which have never yet
been cleared for the plow and
which lie waste and desolate.
These lie scattered all over the
Union. And there are nearly eighty
million acres of land that lie un
der swamps or are subject to pe
riodical overflow or are too wet for
anything but grazing which it is
perfectly feasible to drain and pro
tect and redeem.
Congress can at once direct
thousands of the returning soldiers
to the reclamation of the arid lands
which it already has undertaken. if
it will but enlarge the nlans and
the appropriations which It has in
trusted to the Department of the
Interior. It is possible in dealing
with our used land to effect a great
rural and sagricultural department
which will afford the best sort of
opportunity to men who want to
help themselves; and the Secretary
of Interior has thought the possi
ble methods out in a way which is
worthy of your most friendly at- |
tention.
