 Trade Ties Bind Closely We must undestand that ties of trade bind nations in closest intimacy and none may receive except as he gives. We have not strengthened ours : in accordance with our resources or our genius. notably on our own con- { tinent, where a galaxy Of republics re- fleet the glory of new world demo 1, cracy. but in the new order of finance and trade we mean to promote en- 1 larged activities and seek expended confidence.
 Perhaps we can make no more | helpful contribution by example than prove a republics capacity to emerge from the wreckage of war. While 1 the worlds embittered travail did not leave us devastated lands nor deso- lated cities, left no gaping wounds.
 no breast with hate. it did involve us in the delirum of expenditure, in ex-
 banded currency and credits, in un-
 balanced industry unspeakable waste
 and disturbed relationships. While it uncovered our portion of hateful sell fishness at home, it also revealed the
 heart Of America as sound and fear less and beating in confidence and
 unfailing.
 Amid it all we have riyited the gaze of all civilization to the unsel- fishness and the righteousness of rep resentative democracy, where our freedom never has made offensive warfare. never has sought territorial aggrandiZement through force. never has turned to the arbitrament of arms until reason had been exhausted. When the governments of earth shall have established a freedom like our own and shall have sanctioned the pursuit of peace as we have practiced it, l believe the last sorrow and the final sacrifice of international warfare will have been written.
 Our Supreme Task
 Our supreme task is the resump- tion of our onward, normal. way. Re construction, readjustment, restOra- tion-all these must follow. I would like to have them. If it will tighten the spirit and add to the resolution with which we take up the task, let me repeat for our nation, We shall give no people just cause to make war upon us. We hold no national prejudice, we entertain no spirit of revenge, we do not hate, we do not covet, We dream of no conquest, nor boast of armed prowess.
 If, despite this attitude, war is again forced upon us, earnestly hope a way may be found, which will unite our individual and collective strength and consecrate all America, mater ial..- .and spiritually, body and soul, to national defense. 1 can vision the ideal republic, where every man and woman is called under the flag for assignment to duty, for whatever ser vice, military or civic, the individual is best fitted, where we may call to service every plant, agency of facility, all in the sublime sacrifice for our country and not one penny of war profit shall enure to the ben- eft of private individual, corporation or combination, but all above the nor maj shall flow into the defense chest of the nation. There Is something wrong, something out Of accord with the ideals of representative demo- cracy when one portion of our citi- zenship turns its activity to prevent gain amid defensive war while an other is fighting, sacrificing or dying for national preservation.
 Unity of Spirit and Purpose
 Out of such universal servlce will come a new unity of spirit and pur- pose, a new confidence and consecra- ton which would make our defense our triumph assured. Then we should have little or no dis Of our economic, indus trial and commercial systems at home no staggering war debts, no swollen fortunes to flout the sacrifices of our soldiers, no excuse for sedition, no pitable slackerism. no outrages of trea- son. Envy and jealousy would have no soil for their menacing develop ment and revolution would be with out the passion which engendeers it.
 "A regret for the mistakes of yes terday must not. however, blind us to the tasks of today. War never left such an aftermath. There has been loss of life. and measure less mastage of materials. Nations are still groping for return to stable ways. Discouraging indebtedness confronts us like all the war-torn nations, and these obligations must be provided for. No civilization can survive repudiation.
 "We can reduce the abnormal ex penditures and We will We can
