Following is' the text of the address of President Harding to- the Senstc: Mr. Pres:deat sad Gentlemen of the rVnate: 'There has eome to my attentioa tho pending nnfinithed business before the Senate, and it is an imperative duty to convey, to you the probable effect of the passage at this time of the pro posed srt, providing for adjusted com pensation to our service men in 'the World War. If this measure could be made effective at the present time with out disaster to the Nation's finances nd without hindrance tomperstive re djustment of our taxes it would pre sent an entirety different question than that which is before you. In a per- onal as well as a publie manner, which ught to be a plight of good faith, I avs commanded (he policy of generous treatment of the Nation's defenders, nut ss a part of any contract, not as the payment of a debt which is owing, but a mark of the Nation s gratitude. very obligation is to the disabled and ilepcndent. In such reference si has been inado to general compensation there has been a reservation as to the earliest consistent tiiu for such action as is taken. Without such reservstion. owrvcr, a modified . view.-would--be holly justifiable at the present -mo went, because the enactment of the compensation bill in the midst of t he- struggle for resdjustmont and restora on would hinder every effort and greatly imperil the financial stability f our country. More, this mensclnit effort to expead billions in gratuities will im)ieril onr capacity to discharge our first obligations to those we must nut mil io aid. I sm addressing the Senate directly because the problem is immedistelv yours, as your unfinished business, but the eierutive branch of the governmect owes it to both houses of Congress and the country frankly to state the difficulties we daily are called upon to meet, and tho added peril this meas ure would brine. Taxea Must Be Lowered. Our land has its share of the finan eial chaos and the industrial devres sion of the world. We little heeded the growth of indebtedness or the limits of expenditure during the wsr because we could not stop to count th. cost Our one thought then was the winning oi the war, and the survival of the Nation. We borrowed and loaned in dividuals to the Nation aad the Govern meat to other governments, snd to those who served ths Nation with lit tie-thought of settlement. It was reta tivcly easy then, because national life was at stake. In tho saber aftermath we face the order of reason, rather than act amid the passions of war. sn our own land snd the world are faring problems never solved before. There can be no solution unless we face the grim truths and seek to solve them I resolute devotion to duty. After a sur vey of more than four months, con templsting conditions which would stagger sll of us were it not for ou faith in America, I am fully persuaded that three things are essential to the very beginning of the restored order of things. These are the revision, in cluding reduction, of our intcrnsl taxa tion, the refunding of our war debt, and the adjustment of onr foreign loans. It is vitally tKiessnry to settle these problems before adding to our treasury any such burden as is con- teinjriaied Jta tJ&.pMdjnj .Mil.... . is untbinkable to expect a business revival and tha resumption of the nor mal ways of peace while maintaining the excessive taxet of war. It is quite as unthinkable to reduce our tsx bur dens while committing our treasury to an additional obligation which ranges from three to five billion dollars.

Mast Meet Obligations Our government must undertake no obligation which it docs not intend to meet. No government fist will pay our bills; the exchanges of the world testify today to that erroneous theory. We may rely on the aacriflces of patriotism in wsr, hut today we face markets and the effects of supply and demand, and the inexorable laws of credits in time of peace.
