 dependable prosperity and ali the blessings which attend
 Protection of Industries.
 It has been proven again and again that we cannot, while throwing our
 markets open to the world, maintain American standards of living and
 opportunity and hold our industrial eminence in such unequal compe- tition
 There is a turing fallacy in the theory of banished barriers of trade, but preserved American standards require our higher production costs to be reflected in our tariffs on inn ports. Today as never before, when peoples are. seeking trade restora- tion 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 well we cannot sell where we do not buy, and we cannot sell successfully where we do not carry. Oppor- tunity is calling not alone for the restoration, but for a new era in pro- duction, transportation and trade. We shall answer it best by meeting the demand of a surpassing home market, by promoting self-reliance in production, and by bidding enter prise, genius and efficiency to carry our. cargoes in American bottoms to the marts of the world.
 An America of Homes. We would not have an America living within and for herself alone, but we would have her self-reliant, l independent, and ever nobler, stronger and richer. Believing in our higher standards, reared through constitutional liberty and maintained opportunity, we invite the world to the same heights. But pride in things wrought is no reflex of com pleted task. Common welfare is the goal of our national endeavor. Wealth is not inimical to welfare, it ought to be it's friendliest agency. There never can be equality of re- wards or possessions so long as the human plan contains varied talents and different degrees of industry and thrift, but ours ought to be a 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 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 befits the hearthstone of American citizenship. l We want the cradle of American childhood rocked under conditions so wholesome and so hopeful that no blight may touch it in its develop l ment, and we want to provide that | no selfish interest, no material ne cessity, no lack of opportunity shall | prevent the gaining of that education so essential to best citizenship.
 There is no short cut to the making | of these ideals into glad realities. The | world has witnessed, again and again, the futility and the mischief of ill con- sidered remedies for social and eco homie disorders. But we are mindful today as never before of the friction of modern industrialism, and we must learn it's causes and reduce it's evil consequences by sober and tested methods Where genius has made for great possibilities, justice and happi- ness must be reflected in a greater common welfare.
 Service the Supreme Commitment.
 Service is the supreme commitment of life I would rejoice to acclaim the era of the golden rule and crown 1t with the autOcracy of service. pledge an administration wherein all the agencies of government are called to serve, and ever promote an understand ing of government purely as an ex- pression of the popular will.
 One cannot stand in this presence and be unmindful of the tremendous responsibility. The world upheaval has added heavily to our tasks. But with the realization comes the surge of high resolve, and there is reassur- ance in belief in the GOd-given destiny of our republic If felt that there is to be sole responsibility in the ex- ecutive for the America of tomorrow, I should shrink from the burden. But here are hundred millions, with com mon concern and shared responsibility, to God and country. The republic summons them to their duty and I invite cooperation.
 I accept my part with single-minded- ness of purpose and humility of spirit and implore the favor and guidance of God in His heaven. With these am afraid, and confidently face the fu- ture.
 I have taken the solemn oath of of flee on that passage of holy writ wherein it is asked, What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God" This I plight to God and country.
