 This applies as much to industry as tc national defense. To let the inter- state transportation systems of the | country, for example, be regulated by forty-eight small conflicting sover- eighties, is just as foolish as to trust to forty-eight conflicting sovereign ties in military matters. The nation must regulate the arteries Of traffic for the whole country in the inter ests of the whole country. It must control the armed forces of the whole country in the interests of the whole country. In such matters there can not be divided sovereignty without national weakness. Moreover, what applies to railways directly or indi- rectly concerned in interstate busi- ness, also applies to all great corpora tions engaged in interstate or inter- national business.
 Industrial Efficiency
 I stand with all my heart for mill tary prepare dness; but no one knows better than I that military prepared ness alone can neither make nor maintain a great nation. It is merely the essential safeguard for q nation l industrially efficient and prosperous, ana with a prosperity justly distrib- uted; a safeguard for a national life organized in all points for national ends and national ideals. This na- tional life mnst be dominated by the two great truths first, that in sue cessful democracy, every man must ! in reasonable measure. he his broth CTS keeper" and second, that every i citizen in such a democracy must ac- l cept with his whole heart the prin- | ciple that his first duty in war or in i reace is to serve the nation.
 ] Occasionally it is said by some one | blind to industrial tendencies that the nation has no right to regulate the 1 activities of the great successful , husiness men. Occasionally it is said i by some unworthy would-be labor
 leader that the workingman owes
 nathing to the country. because there
 
 his interest Each statement must be emphatically repudiated by every pat riot. If any man. whether working man or capitalist believes that he
 owes nothing to this country, then
 the sooner he gets out of the coun-
 try the better for he is unfit to do
 good to himself or to anyone else
 Such q man is not entitled to claim
 companionship with you veterans of
 the civil war who are here today. He
 is unfit to live in the land which is
 Dr0nd of the memory of your deeds.
 On the other hand the great business
 men must recognize more and more that there must be full and frank CO., operation between them and the gov errment to secure the public welfare
 On lthe part of the government this cooperation must be given with the
 sincere desire to increase the eff
 ciency of our industrial organization not to hamper it, and with full recog- milton of the fact that much of mod ern industry must be carried on by
 great industrial units The aim ot
 government should be not 10 destroy
 these units but while encouragins
 them. to regulate them in the inter
 ests of the neople as whole At th, same time the big business man mus . with equal frankness recognize tht . fact that his business activities, whil, o beneficial to himself and his asset Q ates, must also justify themselves b! Q being beneficial to the mon who Wo~l Q for him. and to the public which I F serves.
