Believes in the Future.
81 have been talking with business
men recently about the present state
of mind Of American business. mere
is nothing the matter with American
business except state OF nina.
understand that your Chamber oil COM
merce here in INDIANAPOLIS Is working
now upon the motto, If you are going
10 buy il. buy it now That - per
fectlv safe maxim 10 act on. IL IS JUST
as safe to buy 1t now as 1t ever VIII
be. and if you start the buying there
will be no end 10 II, and you VIII De
seller as we'll as buyer. ! am just
as sure of that as | can be, because

fore, | have none of the preJudices OF
business. | have looked on and trled
10 see what the interests OF the couh-
trv were i'm business. and ! have taken
counsel with men who did Know, ana
their counsel is uniform, and all that
is needed in America now is 10 believe
in the future. and can assure YOU as
one of those who speak for the Demo
cratic party. that il is perfectly safe
to believe in the future.
ave are so much the friends OF
business that we were for little time
the enemies of those who were trying
to control business. ! say for a little
time becaus, we are now reconclied 10
them. They have graciously admitted
that we had a right 70 do what we dld
do. and they have very handsomely
said that they were going 10 play the
game.
81 believe always have believed -
that American business men were alb
solutely sound at heart. but men i'm
mersed in business do a lot of things
that opportunity offers to do which m
other circumstances they would not
DO: and | have thought all along that
ell that was necessary to do was to
call their attention sharply TO the
kind Of reforms in business which
we're necessary, and that they would
acquiesce. and | believe they have
heartily acquiesced.
There is all the more reason. there
fore. that, great and small. We should
be confident in the future And what a
future it is. my friends, Look abroad
upon the troubled world. Only
America at peacel Among all the great
movers of the world. only America saw
ing her power for her own people,
Only America using her great character
and her great strength in the interests
of peace and of prosperity.
World May Turn to America.
"Do you not think it likely that the
world will some time turn to America
and say: You were right and we were
wrong. You kept your heads when we
lost ours. You tried TO keep the scale
from tipping and We threw the whole
weight of arms in one side of the
scale. Now. in your self-possession. IN
your coolness, in your strength, may
we not turn TO you for counsel and for
assistance
Think Of the deep wrought destruc-
tion of economic resources, OF life and
OF hope. that is taking place in some
parts of the world. and think OF the
reservoir OF hope. the reservoir of en-
crgy, the reservoir of sustenance that
there is in this great land of plenty!
May we not look forward TO the time
when We shall be called blessed among
the nations because we succored the
nations Of the world in their time Of
distress and of dismay?
81 for one pray God that that solemn
hour may came, and ! know the solid
ity of character and know the exalta-
ton Of hope, know the high principle
with which the American people will
respond to the call of the world for
this service. and ! thank God that those
who believe in America, who try to
serve her people, are likely to be also
what America herself from the first
intended to be-the servant Of man
kind
