these conditions is due to the careful, con-
sentative, sef-poised tinancier whom I
now have the pleasure Of introducing to
you-the Hon. Lyman ]. Gage, Secretary
of the Treasury of the United States of
America.
Secretary Gage spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen: Now
that the storm of war is over we may
look back in cheerful Retrospect on gal
lant deeds accompished-on glorious vic
tories achieved. 1t is right to do this
II is right to remember the heroic living;
and it would be base ingratitude to for
get the heroic dead. We may rejoice to-
sether that a common cause has united
all hearts, and made us conscious once
more than we are ali members of one
common country. The past, however,
forms in history but the base line from
which the future is to be measured. The
national life so profoundly stirred by re
cent events has been inevitably enlarged
New duties, new responsibilities, face us.
They can neither be evaded nor ignored.
Ii was with a comprehension of this. 1 be-
heve, that my subject, Commerce" was
given an honored place on your pro-
gramme.
Il is evident that, If yesterday we were
insuar, tomorrow we must be interna-
tional, and commerce is the agency
through which our destiny is TO be accom-
plshed.
I shall not take your time by eulogizlng
the trumphs of commerce, either as a
bringer-in of profit or as a pioneer of civil
ization. The thought is too familiar and
the story has been TOO often told I want
10 speak, if I can, of an underlying law,
or natural order, which compels nations
advanced in art, science, industry and gen
eral knowledge, 10 carry the blessings
these bring to peoples helpless through lg-
norance and wretched through oppression.

moved by the misery of the tenement

been the welfare, the advancement and
the glory Of the republic. and IL the good
will Of the sections for each other is
strengthened, as il has been, one of his
highest aspirations is filed.

has emphasized Is the fact that no prob

cannot successfully cope. We have on our
