know that Congress and the Al
rninistration will favor every wfse
Government policy to aid the re
sumption and encourage continued
progress.
I speak for administrative ef-
ficiency. for lightened tax burdens,
for sound commercial practices,
for adequate credit facilities, for
sympathetic concern for all agri-
cultural problems, for the omis-
sion OF unnecessary interference OF
Government with business. for an
end to Governments experiment
In business and for more efficient
business in Government admins
tration. With all of this must at
.end mindfulness Of the human
side OF all activities. SO that social.
industrial and economic justice
will be squared with the purposes
OF righteous people.
With the nationwide induction
o. womanhood into our political
life we may count upon her In
tuitions. her refinements, her in
teliigence and her influence to ex-
alt the social order We count
upon her exercise Of the full priv
ileges and the performance OF her
duties Of citizenship to speed the
attainment of the highest state.
No Place Here for Revoits.
] wish for an America no less
alert in guarding against dangers
from within than II is watchful
against enemies from without. Our
fundamental law recognizes no
class, no group. no section; there
must be none in legislation or ad-
m!nistration. The supreme In
spiration is the common veal.
Humanity hungers for interna-
tional peace, and we crave 1t with
all mankind. My most reverent
prayer for America is for in
dustrial peace. with its rewards
widely and generally distributed
amid the inspirations of equal op-
portunity. No one justly may
deny the equality OF opportunity
which made us what we are.
We have mistaken unprepared-
ness to embrace 1t to be chal-
lenge Of the reality. and due con-
cern for making all citizens At
for participation will give added
strength of citizenship and magni-
fy our achievement.
II revolution insists upon over
turning established order let other
peoples make the tragic expert
mert. There Is no place for it in
America. When world war threat
ened civilization we pledged our
resources and our lives to its pres
ervation. and when revolution
threatens we unfurl the flag Of
law and order and renew our con-
eecration. Ours is a constitutional
freedom where the popular will is
the law supreme and minorities
are sacredly protected. Our revi-
gions. reforTnations and evolutions
reflect deliberate Judgment and
an orderly progress, and we mean
to cure our Ills. but never destroy
or permit destruction by force.
had rather submit our indus
trial controversies to the confer
ence table in advance than to a
settlement table after conflict and
suffering. The earth is th!rsting
for the cup OF good will; under
standing Is its fountain source.
would like TO acclaim an era Of
good feeling amid dependable
prosperity and all the blessings
which would attend.
Must Adjust tho Tariffs.
II has been proved again and
again that we cannot. while throw
ing our markets open to the world,
maintain American standards Of
living and opportunity and hold
our industrial eminence in such
unequal competition. There Is a
luring fallacy In the theory Of BAN
ished barriers of trade, but pre-
served American standards require
our higher production costs to be
reflected In our tariffs on imports.
To-day. as never before, when peo-
pies are seeding trade restoration
and expansion. we must adjust our
tariffs to the new order. We seek
participation In the worlds ex-
changes, because 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, ana we cannot sell sue
ceesfully where we do not carry.
Opportunity Is calling not alone
for the restoration but for a new
era in production, transportation
