ties that are ours for the ask
ing. The recent war has ended
our isolation and thrown upon
us a great duty and response
bHlty. The United States must
share the expanding world
market. The United States de-
sires for itself only equal oppur-
tumity with the other nations Of
the world, and that through the
process OF friendly cooperation
and fair competition the IeEiti-
mate Interests Of the nations con
cerned may be successfully and
equitably adjusted.
There are other matters Of
importance upon which I urged
action at the last session OF con-
Gresr which are still pressing for
solution. / an sure IL Is not
necessary for me to again re-
mind you that there Is one imme-
date and very practicable ques-
ton resulting from the war
which we should meet in the most
liberal spirit. It Is a matter Of

among the industries to which
special consideration should be

Of dysteufts and related chem

upon German supplies before the

Gus gases on the other. moreover
has given the Industry an excep-

field. He fndisprnsably helped to
win the war. But there r. now
scarcely less need Of Increasing
the production IN food and the
necessuries Of life. I ask the con
Eress TO consider means OF en-
effort along these lines.
