necessary interference of government
with business, for an end to govern
nent's experiments in business and
for more efficient business in govern
nent administration. With all of this
must attend mindfulness of the hu-
man side of activities so that So
cial, industrial and economic justice
will be squared with the purposes of
righteous people.
With the nationwide induction of
womanhood into our political life, we
may count upon her intuitions, her re
finement, her intelligence and her in
fuence to exalt the social order. We
count upon her exercise of the full
privileges and the performance of the
duties of citizenship to speed the at
tainment of the highest state.
Prayer for Industrial Peace.
I wish for an America no less alert
in guarding against dangers from
within that it is watchful against en-
emies from without. Our fundament-
al law recognizes no class, no group,
no section. There must be none in leg
islation or administration. The su-
preme inspiration is the common
veal. Humanity hungers for inter-
national peace and we crave it with
all mankind. My most feryent prayer
for America is for industrial peace,
with its rewards, widely and gener-
ally distributed amid d>the inspirations
of equal opportunity.
No one justly may deny the equal
ity of opportunity which made US
what we are. We have mistaken un-
preparedness to embrace it, to be a
challenge of the reality; and due con-
cern for making all citizens fit for
participation will give added strength
of citizenship and magnify our
achievement.
If revolution insists on overturn-
ing established order, let other peo-
pies make the tragic experiment.
There is no place for it in America.
When world war threatened civiliza-
ton 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
conservation. Ours is a constitution
al freedom where the popular will is
the law supreme and minorities are
sacrealy protected. Our revisions,
reformations and evolutions reflect a
deliberate judgment and an orderly
progress, and we mean to cure our
ills, but never destroy or permit de-
struction by force.
/ had rather submit our industrial
controversies to the conference table
in advance than to a settlement table
after conflict and suffering. The earth
is thirsting for the cup of good will.
Understanding is its fountain source.
1 would like to acclaim an era of
good feeling amid dependable pros
peritv and all the blessings which at
tend.
Protection of Industries.
1t has been proved again and
again that we can not, while throw
ing our markets open to the world,
maintain American standards of liv-
ing and opportunity and hold our
industrial eminence in such unequal
competition. There is Turing fall
lacy in the theory of banished bar
riers of trade, but preserved Ameri-
can standards require our higher
production costs to be reflected in
our tariffs on imports. Today, as nev-
er before, when peoples are seeking
trade, restoration and expansion, we
must adjust our tariffs to the new or
der. We seek participation in the
worlds exchanges, because therein
lies our way to widen influence and
the triumphs of peace. We know full
we'll we can not sell where we do
not buy and we can not sell success
fully 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 surprising
nome market, by promoting self re-
lance in production and by bidding
genius and efficiency to
carry our cargoes in American bot
IONS to the marts of the world.
An America of Homes.
We would not have an America
