Protection OF Industrics.

~ VI ~ ~ .LL.
1t has been proved again and again
mat we cannot, while throwing our
markets open to the world, maintain
american standards OF living and OPP
portunity and hold our industrial emf.
hence. In such inadequate competition.
There is a Turing fallacy In the. theory
OF banished barriers Of trade, but pre-
served American standards require
higher production costs to be re-
hected in 1our tariffs on imports. To-
day as never before, when peoples are
seeking trade, restoration and ex-
panston, we must adjust our tariffs to
the new order. We seek participa-
ton In h worlds exchanges, because
therein lies u way to widened in
We know full we'll we cannot sell
where we do not buy and we cannot
BELL successfully where we do not
carry.
Opportunity is calling, not alone for
the restoration but for q new era in
production. transportation and trade.
We shall answe it best by meeting.
n demand of a surprising home
market, by promoting self reliance in
production and by bidding enterprise,
genius and efficiency to carry our
cargoes in American bottoms to the
nations of the world.
An America Of Homes.
We would not have an America liv-
ing within and for herself alone, but
we would have her self reliant. indie
pendent and even nobler. stronger
standards, reared through -constitu.
ttonal liberty and maintained oppor-
tunity. We invite the world to the
same heights. But pride. in things
wrought is no reflex Of Il completed
task, common welfare n the goal of
our national endeavor. Wealth is not
inimical to welfare. 1t ought TO be
It's friendliest agency. ~"
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 q country
free from great blotches Of distressed
poverty. We ought to find a way to
guard against the perils and penal
ties OF unemployment. We want an
America of homes, illumined with
freed from the necessity for long
hours of toll beyond their W doors,
may preside q BELTS the h~carthstone
OF American citizenship. We want
the cradle of American childhood
rocked under conditions so whole
some and so hopeful that no blight
may touch. it in it's development and
wv "dHL " pTONIuC tnaL no Sel0Sn IN
terest. no material necessity, no lack
of opportunity shall prevent, the gain
ing OF that education so essential to
best citizenship.
There is no short cut to the making
OF these ideals into glad realities. The
world has witnessed. again and again.
the futility and the mischief of ILL
considered remedies for social and
economic disorders. But we are
mindful today as never before of the
friction of modern industrialism and
live must learn its causes and reduce
|lits evil consequences by sober and
tested methods. Where genius has
made for great responsibilities, justice
and happiness must be reelected in a
greater common welfare.
Service, the Supreme Commitment.
Service is the supreme commitment
of life. I would rejoice to acclaim
the era of the Golden Rule and crown
it with the autocracy of service. I
pledge an administration wherein all
the agencies Of government are called
to serve and ever promote ar UNDER
standing of government purely as an
expression Of the popular will.
