If revolution insists upon over
turning established order. let
other peoples make the tragic ex-
pertinent. There is no place for
it in America When world war
threatened civilization we pledged
our resources and our lives to its
preservation, and when revolution
threatens we unfurl the flag of law
and order and renew our consecra-
tion. Ours is a constitutional free
law supreme and minorities are
sacredly protected. Our revisions.
reformations and evolutions reflect
a deliberate judgment and an or
derly progress. and we mean to
cure our ills. but never destroy or
permit destruction by force.
had rather submit our indus
trial controversies to the confer

settlement table after conflict and

for the cup Of good will. Under
standing is it's fountain source. 1
would like to acclaim an era OF
good feeling and dependable pros
perity and all the blessings which
attend.
Protection OF Industries.
1t has been proved again and
again that we cannot, while throw
ing our markets open to the world.
maintain American standards OF
living and opportunity and hold
our industrial eminence in such
unequal competition. There is
Turing fallacy in the theory OF
banished barriers Of trade, but
preserved American standards re-
quire our higher poduction costs to
be reflected in our tariffs on i'm
ports. Today as never before, when
peoples are seeking trade. restora-
tion and expansion. We must ad-
just our tariffs to the new order.
We seek participation in the
worlds exchanges. because therein
lies our way to widened influence
and the triumphs of peace. We
know full well we cannot sell
where we do not buy. and We can
not sell successfully where we do
not carry.
Opportunity is calling not alone
for the restoration. but for a new
era in production. transportation
and trade. We shall answer it best
by meeting the demand Of a sur
passing home market, by promot-
ing self-reliance in production and
by bidding enterprise. genius and
efficiency to carry our cargoes in
American bottoms to the marts of
the world.
An America of Homes.
We would not have an America
living within and for herself alone,
but We would have her self-reli-
ant. independent and ever nobler,
stronger and richer. Believing in
our higher standards. reared
through constitutional liberty and
maintained opportunity. we invite
the world to the same heights.
But pride in things wrought is no
reflex of accomplished task. Com
mon welfare is the goal of our
national endeavor. Wealth is not
inimical to welfare: il ought to be
its friendliest agency.
There never can be equality OF
rewards or possessions so long as
the human plan contains varied tai
ents and differing degrees of indus
country free from great blotches
OF distressed poverty. We ought to
find way to guard against the
perili and penalties OF unemploy-
ment We want an America Of
homes, illumined with hope and hap
piness. where mothers. freed from
the necessity for long hours of toll
beyond their own doors. may pre-
side as BELTS the hearthstone OF
American citizenship. We want the
cradle of American childhood rocked
under conditions so wholesome, and
so hopeful that no blight may touch
il in it's development. and we want
to provide that no selfish interest,
no material necessity, no lack Of op-
portunity shall prevent the gaining
OF that education SO essential to best
citizenship.
There is no shor& cut to the
making Of these ideals into glad real
ities. The world has witnessed, again
