like government to do all it can
to mitigate them, in understand
ing, in mutually of interest, in
concern for the common good our
tasks will be solved. No altered
system will work miracle. Any
wild experiment will only add to
the confusion. Our best assur-
ance lies in efficient administra-
ton of our proven system.
The forward course of the bus
mess cycle is BILE. Peo-
pies are turning from destruc-
ton to production. Industry
has sensed the changed order and
our own people are turning to
resume their normal, onward
way. The call is for productive
America to go on. l know that
congress and the administration
will favor every wise govern
ment policy to aid the resump-
ton and encourage continued
progress.
speak for administrative ef-
ficiency, for lightened tax bur-
dens, for sound commercial prac-

ties, for sympathetic concern for
all agricultural problems, for the
omission Of unnecessary interfer-

experiment in business, and for
more efficient business in gov
eminent administration. With all
of this must attend a mindful
ness of the human side Of all ac-

squared with the purposes Of a
righteous people. 80
Industrial Peace
With the nationwide induction
of womanhood into our political
life, we may count upon her in
buttons, herl refinements, her
Intelligence aid her Influence to
exalt the social order. We count
upon her exercise of the full
privileges and the performance of
her duties Of citizenship to speed
the attainment of the highest
state.
I wish for an America no less
alert in guarding against dangers
from within than it is watchful
against enemies from without.
Our fundamental law recognizes
no class, no group, no section,
there must be none in legislation
or administration. The supreme
inspiration is the common veal.
Humanity hungers for interna-
tional peace, and we crave it
with all mankind. My most
reverent prayer for America is
for industrial peace, with it's re-
wards, widely and generally dis
tributed amid the inspirations of
equal opportunity. No one justly
may deny the equality of oppor-
tunity which made US what we
are. We have mistaken unpre-
paredness to embrace it to be
a challenge Of the reality and
due concern for making all citi-
zensship and magnify our
achievement.
If revolution insists upon over
turning established order, let
other peoples make the tragic
experiment. There is no place
for it in America. When world
war threatened civilization we
pledged our resources and our
lives to it's preservation and
when revolution threatens we
unfurl the flag of law and order
and renew our conservation. Ours
is a constitutional freedom where
the popular will is the law SUI
preme and minorities are sacred
ly protected. Our revisions, ref
formations and evolutions reflect
q deliberate judgment and an
orderly progress, and we mean to
cure our ills, but never destroy
or permit destruction by force.
Industrial Protection.
I had rather submit our in
dustrial controversies to the
conference table in advance
than settlement table after
conflict and suffering. The
earth is thirsting for the cup
of good will, understanding is
it's fountain source. l would
like to acclaim an era of good
feeling and dependable prosper
ity and all the blessings which
would attend.
1t has been proven again and
again that we cannot, while
throwing our markets open to
the world, maintain American
standards of living and oppor-
tuity, and hold our industrial
eminence in such unequal com
petition. There is Turing fall
lacy in the theory of banished
barriers of trade, but preserved
American standards require our
higher production costs to be re-
Elected in our tariffs on imports.
Today as never before, when
peoples are seeking trade restor-
alton, 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 widened
influence and the triumphs OF
peace.
We know full we'll we can
not sell where we do not buy,
and we cannot sell successfully

An America of Homes
We would not have an America
living within and for herself
alone, but we would have her
self-reliant, independent, ana
ever nobler, stronger and richer.
Relieving in our higher stand
ards, reared through const1tu-
tioflal liberty and maintained OPP
portunity, we invite the world
to the same heights. But wei,
fare is the goal of our national
endeavor. Wealth is not inimical
to welfare, it ought to be its
friendliest agency. There never
nan 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 a
country free from great blotches
of distressed poverty. We ought
to find a way to guard against
the perils and penalties of unem-
ployment. We 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 preside as betlts the
hearthstone of American citizen
ship. We want the cradle of
American childhood rocked under
so wholesome and so
hopeful that no blight may touch
it in it's development, and we
want to provide that no selash
interest, no material necessity.
no lack of opportunity shall pre-
vent the gaining Of the education
so essential to the best citizen
ship. There is no short cut 10
