TO talk to you Of construction. Ameri-
canization Is but another word for
national construction. Americaniza-
ton is not selfshness. 1t means that
we so love this freedom OF America
that wherever in the whole world the
name America is mentioned 1t shall
mean honor. loyalty, progress, hui
manity and peace. To shout America
first and then oppose making America
first throughout the world is to turn
our backs on progress and on the
ideals which the trainers of our great
Constitution wove into the soul OF
America.

this message to every fireside in this
broad land of ours. Faith with the
fathers and mothers, wives and loved
ones who gave their sons, husbands
and brothers to war upon war.
Faith with tho boys, some OF
whom are here, give TO the nation
what they won, peace, a world peace.
You take the ball OF the passing gen
Grafton and in the relay race OF civil
ization you carry on the race to
greater heights. TO loftier ideals and
an understanding of peace that the
old generation can not and will not
see. 1t is the future. not the past
that is the asset of America"
