speaks conditions at home for the
highest human attainment. We believe
in American markets for American

for American genius and industry, and
American defense for American soil.
American citizenship is the reflex Of

fortified hope. We need only to pre-
serve and defend and go unfalteringly
on. Power is the guarantor OF peace
and conscience the buckler of ever
lasting right. Verify, 1t is good to be

Responsibility Of Example
In connection with foreign affairs
