We recognize the organization O
capital and the organization Of labo
rs natural eutcomes Of our industrial
system. Each kind of organization ii
to be favored so long as it acts In
spirit of justice and of regard for tn,
rights of others. Each is to be gran
ed the full protection of the law, anG
each in turn is to be held in a strict
obedience to the law; for no man is
above it md no man is below it. The
humbliest individual Is to have his
rights safeguarded as scrupously as
those of the strongest organization,
for each is to receive justice, no more
and no less. The problems with
I which we have to deal in our modern
Industrial and social life are manifold
but the spirit in which it is necessary
to approach their solution is simply
the spirit of honesty, of courage, and
common sense.
IN inaugerating the great work Of
tration has been enabled by ongre

ar taken under our Government to-
ward utilizing our vast national do
main for the settler, the actual home
maker.
Ever since this continent was dis
covered the need Of an Isthmian Ca
nal to connect the Pacific and the At
lantic has been recognized; and ev-
or since the birth of our nation such
I canal has been planned. At last
the dream has become a reality. The
Isthmian canal is now being built
by the Government Of the United
States. We conducted the negotia-
ton for it's construction with the MIC
est and most scrupulous honor, and
in a spirit of the largest generosity
toward those through whose terri
tory it was to run. Every sin
lister effort which could be de-
yised by the spirit of faction
or the spirit of self-interest was
made in order to defeat the Treaty |
with Panama and thereby prevent
he contamination of this work. The |
construction OF the canal is now an
lssured fact; but most certainly 1t
is unwise to entrust the carrying out |
If so momentous a policy to those
who have ~endeayored to defeat the |
whole undertaking.
Our foreign policy has been so coz
that, while not one Of our jus, |
has been sacrificed. our rela.
with foreign nations are now Of
the most peaceful kind; there is not
cloud on the horizon. The last
cause of irritation between us and
ny other nation was removed by the
settlement of the Alaskan boundary.
in the Caribbean Sea we have |
made good our promises of indepen-
assertion that our mission in the is
and was one of justice and not of
self-aggrandizement; and thereby no
and Panama we have shown that the
Monroe Doctrine is a living reality, |
designed for the hurt of no nation,
but for the protection of civilization
the Western continent. and for the
peace of the world. Our steady
in power has gone hand in
land with a Strengthening DISPOSE
ton to use this power with strict
regard for the rights of others, and
for the cause of International justice

We earnestly desire friendship
with all the nations of the New and
Old Worlds; and W e endeavor to
place our relations with them upon
a basis Of reciprocal advantage in
stead of hostility. We hold that the
prosperity of each nation is an aid
md not a hindrance to the prosperity
IF other nations. We seek information
al amity for the same reasons that
make us believe In peace within our
borders; and we seek this peace
because we are afraid or unready,
