the difficult undertaking; but 1t is
done. It has passed from our hands.
1t is now an established part of the
Legislation Of the country. It's useful
ness, it's effects will disclose them
selves In experience. What chiefly
strikes us now, as we look about us
during these closing days of a year
which will be forever memorable in
the history of the world. is that we
face new tasks, have been facing
them tl.ese six months. must face
them in the months to come.-face
them without partisan feeling, like
men who have forgotten everything
but a common duty and the fact that
we are representatives OF q great peo-
pie whose thought Is not of us but of
what America owes to herself and to
all mankind in such circumstances as
these upon which we look amazed
and anxious.
War has interrupted the means of
trade not oniy but also the process
of production. In Europe It Is de-
stroyiDg men and resources wholesale
and upon scale unprecedented and
appalling. There is reason to fear
that thu time Is near, II it be not al
ready st hand, when several Of the
countries Of Europe will find 1t diff
cult to do for their people what they
have hitherto been always easily able
to do.--many essential and fundamen-
tai things. At any. rate, they will need
our help and our manifold services
as they have never needed them be-
fore; and We shou1d be ready. moro
fit and ready than we have ever hesn.
1t is OF equal consequence that the
nations whom Europe has usually
supplied with innumeEables articles 0f
manufacture and, commerce of which
they are in constant need and with
out which their economic develop
ment haits and stands still can now
get only a small part OF what they
formerly imported and eagerly ioos
To US to supply their elk hst eyap.y
markets. This is particularly true OF
our own neighbors. the States, greet

America. Their lines of trade have
