] the commencement address, his !,
subject being: Capital. Manage
ment, Labor and the Public"
He brought out that America Is
now facing two great problems:
That Of adjusting our international
relations with the other countries
Of the world. and that Of regaining !
N American solidarity which we
have In part lost.
Most Of our difficulty has arisen
because we have lost our tight
hold upon American principles. To
regain them we must keep In mind
Il the impenetration OF foreign doc
trine, and our constructive prob
I lem Is to hold back the tide Of for
eign immigration until we can as
simulate what we have. Our prob !,
/ lem then becomes one Of education
of Americanization OF all ele-
smcnts. Those who seek to solve
the problem by anarchy are not
4 considerate OF fellow men, and DO
not admit fair discussion. Further
more they are fanatical and unsym-
pathetic. We have no place for
revolution in America. This prob
lem can be settled in an American
way.
Must Create Opinion.
TO accomplish this we mus: then
create a right public opinion, edu-
cate and Americanize our immi-
grants, exercise fair play in the
settlement OF disputes, eliminate
immigration and assimilate, pick
out the elements In labor disputes
which are Of the most public and
social importance such as child la
Dor. ETC., train the American peo-
pie in economics, so that all men
will understand their responsible
tiles. Finally, make one law for
and in our American way. g
all men obey it.
