This afternoon President Roosevelt
received the members of the assoc!d-
ton. their families and guests in the
East room of the White House.
After the members of the association
had assembled in the White House,
President Reinhardt expressed the
thanks of his colleagues for the OPP
portunity to meet the President. 10
this President Roosevelt expressed his
satisfaction for the reception Any
American would be proud to greet such
body as this" he continued; "a body
of men who stand for SO much in the
industrial development of the country
and who particularly stand for max
ing that industrial development apply
to all sections of the country. All far
seeing Americans must view with pc
culiar interest and must have spe-
cial concern for any industry which
is showing such marked growth in
any given section of the country.
at is to the interest of each section
that there should be a diversity of
business in it; that it should not be
merely agriculture, but should contain
manufactures also. 1t is to the in
terest of the whole country that each
section should flourish.
eff there is one lesson more than
any other which all of us needs, not
merely to learn, but to keep ever fresh
in our minds, it is that fundamentally
we shall all go up or go down together.
There are exceptions, of course. Occa-
sionally men will prosper through gen.
eral adversely, and there are men who,
in general prosperity, will fail to get
their share of that prosperity. But,
speaking broadly, we shall all go up
or down together. In the long run,
disaster to one section means disaster
to the whole. National well-being and
national prosperity mean prosperity
for the employer and the wage Garner
alike. For under no conceivable cir
cumstances will it be possible that one
should prosper and the other suffer as
a permanent thing. Either all of US
will go up or all of us will go down.
Therefore, 1t is a matter of peculiar
interest to me, from the standpoint
of all the country to meet you and
greet you to-day"
