The SO-CaIled working classes Of
the nation form the greatest single
asset Of the nation" said James,
"and every effort should be put forth
in our economic. policy to preserve a
body Of healthy, vigorous, trained
and ambitious workingmen. Under
no condition should we let the life
of the American labOring man sink
below the present level, and every
effort should be put forth to raise
it still higher
He said there could be mo
shackles on free development I'M
less imperatiVely demanded in the
interests Of the whole people"
That the courts and judges are
not working the way they should
was voiced by the university presi-
dent in the declaration:
I'VE must organize and admins
ter a system of courts which will Sc
cure. justice for the poor and de-
fenseless as well as the rich and
powerful.
we must work toward a national
policy which will forever Danish that
constant and deadening fear of lack
of employment, inability to, work
through accident or sickness, and
poverty arising from old age and
feebleness, which rests like a pail
upon such a large percentage Of our
people"
