Protection Of Industries.
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 emf
nence In such unequal competition.
There is Il Turing fallacy In the theory
of banished barriers Of trade, but pre-
served American standards require
our higher production costs to be re-
tlected in our tariffs on imports. To
day. as never before, when peoples
are seeking trade restoration and ex-
pansion, we must adjust our tarifs
to the new order. We seek partici
patton In the worlds exchanges. be-
cause therein lies our way to wldened
influence and the triumphs of peace.
We know full well we cannot sell
where we do not buy. and we cannot
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 ii best
by meeting the demand of surpass-
ing home market by promoting self
reliance in production and by bidding
enterprise, genius and efficiency to
carry our cargoes in American bot
toms to the marts Of the world.
An America Of Homes.
We should not have an America
living within and for herself alone,
but we would have her self-reliant, in
dependent and ever nObler. stronger
and richer. Believing in our higher
standards. reared through constitution
al liberty and maintained opportunity.
we invite the world TO the same
heights But pride in things wrought
is no reflex of a completed task. Com
mon welfare is the goal of our national
endeavor. Wealth Is not inimical to
welfare. 1t ought to be Its friendlicSt
agency. There never can be equality
of rewards or possessions so long as
the human plan contains varied talents
and differing degrees of industry and
thrift, but ours ought to be country
free from great blotches of distressed
poverty. We ought to find way to
guard against the perils and penalties
of unemployment. We want an Amer
lea Of homes, illumined with hope and
happiness, where mothers. freed from
the necessity for long hours of toll be
yond their own doors, may preside as
BELTS the hearthstone of American
citizenship. We want the cradle Of
American childhood rocked under con-
ditions so wholesome and so hopeful
that no blight may touch II in Its de-
velOpment, and we want to provide
that no selfish interest, no material
necessity, no lack Of opportunity shall
prevent the gaining Of that education
so essential to best citizenship.
There is no short cut to the raaking
Of these ideals into glad realities The
