 American power and resources. Ours is an outstanding, influential example to the world, whether we cloak it in
 spoken modesty or magnify 1t in ex- altation. We want to helps we mean to help; but we hold to our own in- l terpretation of the American con

 ality.
 Rardine's Plan For League
 Disposed as we are. the way is very
 simple Let the failure attending
 assumption, obstinacy, impractical ] biity and delay be recognized. and | let us find the big, practical. unselfish way to do our part neither covetous | because of ambition nor hesitant | through fear, but ready to serve our | selves, humanity and God. With senate advising as the constitution l contemplates, l would hopefully ap- 1 proach the nations of Europe of the 1 earth. proposing that understanding | which makes us a willing participant l in the consecratlon of nations to a new | relationship, to commit the moral ! forces Of the world. America included, | to peace and international justice, still l leaving America free, independent and self-reliant, but offering friendship to i all the world.
 If men call for more specific de- | tails, l remind them that moral com initials are broad and inclusive, and we are contemplating peoples in the | concord of humanity's advancement.
 From our own viewpoint the program ! is specifically American, and we mean | to be Americans first. to all the world. 1 Appraising preserved nationality as | the first essential to the continued ! progress of the republic, there is linked with it the supreme necessity | Of the reStoration--let us say the re- l vealment-of the constitution, and our | reconstruction as an industrial na- | ton Here is the transcending task | It concerns our commonwealth at home and will decide our future emi- hence in the world More than these, | this republic, under constitutional liberties, has given to mankind the l most fortunate conditions for human | activity and attainment the world has
 ever noted, and we are today the
 worlds reserve force in the great con
 test for liberty through security, and maintained equality of opportunity
 and its righteous rewards
 Ameriea-The Temple of Liberty It is folly to close our eyes to out
 standing facts Humanity is restive, much of the world is in revolution, l the agents of discord and destruction
 have wrought their tragedy in pa
 thetic Russia, have lighted their torch
 es among other peoples, and hope to
 see America as a part of the great red l canflagration. Ours is the temple of | liberty under the law. and it is ours to
 call the Sons of Opportunity to its de-
 fense- America must not only save | herself. but ours must be the appeal | ing voice to sober the world.
 More than all else the present day world needs understanding. There can | be no peace save through composed | differences, and the submission of the | individual to the will and veal of the
 many. Any other plan means anarchy
 and it's rule of force.
 It must be understood that toll alone
 makes for accomplishment and ad-
 yancement, and righteous possession !, is the reward of toil and its incentive. | There is no progress except in the
 stimulus of competition. When com
 petition-natural fair, impelling com | petition-is suppressed, whether by | law, compact or conspiracy. we halt
 the march of progress, silence the
 voice of aspiration and paralyze the
 will for achievement These are but
 common sense truths of human deVel-
 opment.
 Demands Labor Do Its Part
 The chief trouble today is that the world war wrought the destruction of | l houses empty, and there is a minimum
 production when our need is maxi
 mum. Maximums. not Ininimums, is 1 the call of America It is not a new | story, because war never fails to leave | depleted storehouses and always i'm pairs the efficiency of production. War
 also establishes it's higher standards | for wages, and they abide. 1 wish the higher wage to abide, on one explicit
 condition-that the wage earner will

 It is the best assurance we can have
 for a reduced cost of living. Mark
 you, I am ready to acclaim the highest
 standard of pay, but would be blind
 to the responsibilities that mark this fateful hour if I did not caution the
 wage earners of America that mount ing wages and decreased production can lead only to industrial and eco- homie ruin.
 I want. somehow. to appeal to the sons and daughters of the republic, to every producer, to join hand and brain { in production, more production. honest production, patriotic production, be- 4 cause patriotic production is no lesf R a defense of our best civilization thar 9 that of armed force.
