DURING the seven years that have just passed
there is no duty. domestic or foreign which
have shirked; no necessary task which we have
feared to undertake, which we have not per-
formed with reasonable efficiency. We have
never pleaded impotence. We have never sought
refuge in criticism and complaint instead Of ao-
ton. We face the future with our past and our
present as suarantors of our promises, and we
are content TO stand to fall by the record
which we have made and are making.-President
Roosevelt
