but we are unalterably insistent that
its exercise must not DESTROY the
equally sacred right of the individual.
in his necessary pursuit of livelihood. |
ANY American has the right to quit
his employment, so has every Amer
lean the right to seek employment.
The group must not endanger the in
dividual, and we must discourage
groups preying upon one another and
none shall be allowed to forget that
the governments obligations are alike
to all the people
We are SO confident that much of
the present-day insufficiency and i'll
efficiency of transportation are due to
the withering hand of government op-
GRAFTON that we emphasize anew our
opposition to government ownership,
We want to expedite the reparation
and make sure the mistake is not re-
peated.
T. A state of inadequate transporta-
ton facilities, mainly chargeable to
: the failure of governmental expert
! ment, is losing millions to agriculture,
| it is hindering industry, it is menacing
the American people with a fuel
| shortage little less than a peril. 1t

all America to relieve such an emer-
gency.
Gross expansion of currency and
I credit have deprecated the dollar Just
as expansion and initiation have dis
credited the coins of the world. We
inflated in haste, we must debate in
| deliberation. We debased the dollar
in reckless finance. we must restore in
honesty.
In all sincerity we promise the pre-
ventiOn of unreasonable profits. we
challenge profteering with all the
moral force and the legal powers of
government and people; but 1t is fair,
| aye. it is timely, to give reminder that
law is not the sole corrective of our
economic ills.
Let US call to all the people for
thrift and economy, for denial and
sacrifice if need be, for a nationwide
drive against extravaganza and lux
ury, to a recommittal to simplicity OF
/ living, to that prudent and normal
Y plan of life which is the health of the
4 republic.
? New conditions which attend amaz-
Ing growth and extraordinary indus
trial development call for a new and
forward looking program. The Amer.

ket, and heard the cry of the world
S for food and answered it, though he

e. Contemplating the denfenselessnes'
L of the individual farmer to meet th'
