 CT he be a mere materialist or a mere silly sentimentalist: if we produce on ly the Americanism of the grafter and the mollycOddle and the safety-tirst get-rich quick, peace-atanyprice man, we will have produced an American faithful only to the spirit of the Tor ies of 1775 and the Copperheads of 1861. and fit only to vanish from the earth"
 Discussing industrial preparedness, Col Roosevelt said he stood heartily for protection" By that l mean not only protection to American indus tries and to the material interests of American workingmen, farmers and business men," he explained, ''I also mean, and with even greater emphasis protection for the whole American na- tion, protection for American honor, protection for Americas self-respect. protection for Americas position a. mong the nations, protection for her when she strives, as she ought to strive, to bring peace to the rest of the world And there can be no such protection without thoroughgoing pre- paration-military, social and indus trial"
 Nations Failure
 Col Roosevelt pointed to what he declared to be the nations failure to prepare since the European war began declaring that the House of Represen- tatives has taken what measures it could to interfere with the organiza- tions on which we should have to rely in any belated and hurried efforts to meet our needs should we have to act in support of our note (the first Am erican note to Germany and has pass ed legislation eXcellently designed to prevent all efficiency from the mili- tary standpoint"
 If now there is no war" Col Roosevelt continued, ''it will be proof positive that if fourteen months ago we had made it evident that we meant what we said Germany wOud have a. bandoned her submarine policy and the lives of thousands of non combat ants would have been saved, so that their blood is at our doors because we failed, when we sent that note, to show that We meant what we said.
 industrial Canvas
 Discussing industrial preparedness, Col Roosevelt declared that without it there can be no full preparation for military service.
 Unless our industries are highly efficient" he said, ''and moreover are trained for this particular work in ad- vance, the penalty will inevitably be paid in the shape of dreadful loss of life among our soldiers. Such need cannot be met by gOvernment-owned and managed plants, although there should be some such to serve as check and regulators. The need is to train, to educate many business firms by means of giving them orders in time of peace for the various things which the government would need in enor- nous quantities in time of war. There should be-a survey of the producing resources of the country and the de velopment and practical working-out in time of peace of plans for minimum annual educational orders to be placed by the Army and Navy with thousands of firms widely distributed geographi- cally, and the enrolment in time of peace of the skilled labor which it is , necessary to keep on the job in time of war.
 We cannot afford to leave this de- mocracy of ours inefficient. If we dc it will as3uredly some day go down in ruin. We cannot afford to tolerate with cynical indifference the pOrt-bar- rel theories of government so dear to | tlie hearts of politicians of the baser ! sort. With a wealth of billions of dol ! lars, and a population of one hundred million, we cannot afford to be in 9 | condition of utterly unstable social and industrial equilibrium nor to see our sons grow up steeped in a spirit | of mere selfish individualism, without self-control or discipline or sense of cooperation. or firmness of purpose. i We have great individual capacity. i This we must keep. But we must ! train it so that We shall have great collective capacity, so that there may be that collective democratic power and discipline without which no great modern democracy can permanently SuhSiSt l"
