our nation, We shall give no people
just cause to make war upon Us. We
hold no national prejudices. We enter
tain no spirit Of revenge. we do not
hate we do not coVet. We dream Of no
conquest nor boast Of armed proves.
If despite this attitude. war is again

Task of Readjustment.
The business world reflects the dis

parts interdependent. and II has suf-

and price upheavals. We must seek

RevoIutionists Warned.
II revolution insists upon overturning
established order. let other peoples make
the tragic experiment, There is no place
for il in America. When world war
threatened civilization we pledged our re-
sources 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 constitutional
freedom where the popular viii is the
law supreme and minorities are sacredty
protected. Our revisions. reformations
and eyolutions reflect a deliberate judg-
mean to cure our ills, but never destroy
or permit destruction by force.
Tariff Readjustment.
1t has been proved again and again
that we cannot. while throwing oar mar
kets open to the world, maintain Ameri-
can standards Of living and opportunity,
and hold our industrial eminence in such
unequal competition, Today, as never be

restoration and expansion, We must ad-
just our tariffs to the new order. We
seek participation in the worlds eX-
