dress follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress-:
The session upon which you are now
entering will be the closing session OF
the SiNty-third Congress, II Congress,
venture to say which will long be
remembered for the great body OF
thoughtful and constructive work
which il has done, i'm loyal response to
the thought and needs of tho country.
] should like in this address TO review
the notable record and try to make
adequate assessment of it; but no doubt
we stand too near the work that has
been done and arc ourselves too much
part OF 1t to play the part of hist orinns
toward it,
Our program OF legislation with re-
gard TO the regulation of business is
now virtually complete. 1t has been
put forth. as we intended. as n whole,
and leaves no conjecture as to what
Is to follow. The road at last lies
clear and firm before business 1t is
a road which 1t can travel without
fear or embarrassment. 1t is the road
to ungrudged, uncloudcd success. In
1t every honest man, every man who
believes that the public interest is part
of his own interest, may walk with
perfect confidence.
Moreover. our thoughts arc now more
of the future than of the past. While
we have worked at our tasks of peace
the circumstances of the whole age
have been altered by war. What we
have done for our own land and our
own people we did with the best that
was in us, whether of character or of
intelligence. with sober enthusiasm
and n confidence In the principles upon
which we were acting which sustained
us at every step OF the difficult under
taking; but II is done. 1t has passed
from our hands. 1t is now an cstah-
ilsneu part OF the legislation or the
country Its usefulness, its effects will
disclose themselves in experience.
What chiefly strikes us now, as we
look about us during these closing days
of year which will be forever mem
orable In the history OF the world is
that we face new tasks. have been fac
ing them these six months must face
them in the months to come-face
them without partisan. feeling, like
men who have forgotten everything but
common duE -and ;the fact that we
are represenlativcs Of Il great people
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.
