participation will give added strength
of citizenship and magnify our
achievement.
If revolution insists upon 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 and our
i've 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 supreme and minOritieS are Sa-
credly protected. Our revisions, ref
ormations 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.
l 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. l would like to acclaim an
era Of good feeling amid dependable
prosperity and all the blessings which
attend.
Protection of Industries.
1t has been proved again and again
that we cannot, while throwing u
markets open to the world, maintain
American standards Of living and OPP
portunity, and hold our industrial emil
n in such unequal competition.
There is a Turing fallacy in the theory
Of banished barriers Of trade, but pre-
served American standards require
our higher production costs to be re-
Elected in our tariffs on imports. To
day, as never before, when peoples
are seeking trade restoration and eN-
pansion, we must adjust u tariffs
to the new order. We seek partici-
patton in the worlds exchanges, be-
cause therein lies our way to widened
influence and the triumphs of peace.
We know full we'll 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 it best
by meeting the demand Of a surpass-
ing home market, by promoting self.
reliance in production and by bidding

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
l standards, reared through constitution
al liberty and maintained opportunity
we invite the world to the sam
!, heights. But pride in things wrought
is no reflex of a completed task. Com
mon welfare is the goal of our nationa
i. endeavor. Wealth is not inimical t.
welfare. 1t ought to be it's friendlies
agency. There never can be equalit,
: of rewards or possessions so long a
the human plan contains varied talent
: and differing degrees of industry an,
: thrift. but ours ought to be a countr
free from great blotches of distresse
poverty. We ought to find a way +
guard against the perils and penaltie
of unemployment. We want an Anne,
:, lea of homes, illumined with hope an
happiness, where mothers, freed fror
the necessity for long hours Of toll be
o yond their WI doors, may preside a
BELTS the h~earthstone of America
citizenship. We want the cradle G
American childhood rocked under cor
ditions so wholesome and so hopefr
l. that no blight may touch it in its de
L velopment. and we want to provid
J. that no selfish interest, no materis
necessity, no lack Of opportunity sha
prevent the gaining of that educatio
so essential to best citizenship.
There is no short cut to the maxim
of these ideals into glad realities. Tt
d world has witnessed. again and agail
the futility and the mischief of i

economic disorders. But we are min
IS full today as never before of the fri
" ton of modern industrialism, and W
d must learn its causes and reduce i
evil consequences by sober and teste
methods. Where genius has made fl
great possibilities, justice and hapI
ness must be reflected in a great,
common welfare.

of life. I would rejoice to acclaim tt
era of the Golden Rule and crown
with the autocracy of service.
