The forward course VI the business
cycle is unmistakabe. Peoples are
turning from destruction to produc-
ton. Industry has sensed the changed
order and our own people are turn,

America to go on. l know that con-
gress and the administration will ia
vor every wise government policy to
aid the resumption and encourage
continued progress.
speak for administrative eff
cheney for lightened tax burdens, for
sound commercial practices, for AIDE
quate credit facilities, for sympathetic
concern for all agricultural problems,
for the omission of unnecessary inter
ference Of government with business,
for an end to the governments ex.
pertinent in business and for more ef
ficient business in government admin
istration. With all OF this must at
tend mindfulness of the human side
of all activities so that social, indus
| trial and economic justice will be
squared with the purposes OF right
eous people.
With the nationwide induction Of
womanhood into our political life, we
may count upon her irtuitions. her re-
finement, her intelligence and her in
J fluence to exalt the social order We
count upon her exercise of the fun

in that 1t is wrathful against enemies
from without Our fundamental law
recognizes no class, no group, no Sec

ton or administration. The supreme

No one justly may deny the equal
ity of opportunity which made us
what we are. We have mistaken un.
preparedness to embrace 1t to be a
challenge of the reality; and due con-
Germ for making all citizens fit for
participation will give added strength

achievements.
If revolution insists upon our over

peoples make the tragic experiment
There is no place for it in America
] had rather submit our industrial
controversies to the conference table
in advance than to a settlement tabls
after conflict and suffering
1t has been proved again and again
that we cannot, while throwing our
markets open to the world, maintain
American standards of living and op-
portunity and hold our industrial
eminence in such unequal competition
J There Is Turing fallacy in the theory
of banished barriers of trade, but pre-
served American standards require
our higher production costs to be re-
Elected in our tariffs on imports. To
day as never before, when peoples are
seeking trade restoration and .expan-
sion, We must adjust our tariffs to
the new order. We seek participation
in the worlds exchanges, because
therein lies our way to widened in
fluence and the triumphs Of peace. We
we do not buy and we cannot sell sue
cessfully where we do not carry.
Opportunity is calling, not alone for
the restoration, but for new era in
production, transportation and trade.
We shall answer it best by meeting
the demand of a surprising home
market, by promoting selfreliance in
production and by bidding enterprise,
genius and efficiency to carry our car
goes in American bottoms to the
marts of the world.
Common Welfare Aim.
There never can be equality Of re-
wards or possessions so long as the
human plan contains varied talents
and differing degrees of industry and
thrift, but ours ought to be coun-
try free from great blotches of dis.
tressed poverty. We ought to find q
way to guard against the perils and
penalties of unemployment. Want an
America of homes, illumined with
hope and happiness, where mothers
freed from the necessity for long hours
of toll beyond their own doors, may
American citizenship.
There is no short cut to the max.
ing Of these ideals into glad real
tiles. The world has witnessed, again
and again, the futility and the mis-
chief of ill-considered remedies for
social and economic disorders But
we are mindful today. as never before
OF the friction of modern Industrial.
