Of citizenship and magnify our
achievement.

piles make the tragic experiment.
There Is no place for II In America.
When World war threatened civiliza-
ton We pledged our resources and our
lives to Its preservation. and when
revolution threatens We unfuri the
flag Of law and order and renew COR
conservation. Ours Is Z constitutional
freedom where the popular will u the
law supreme and minorities are ..
credly protected. Our reviAons, re-
ormations and evoluuons reflect Q
deliberate judgment and an orderly
progress. and we mean to cure our
Ills. but never destroy or permit d.
struction BY force.

controversies to the conference table
in advance than to q settlement table
after conflict and suffering. The
earth Is thirstlng for the cup Of good
will. Understanding 10 Its fountain
source. would like to acclaim an
era Of good feeling amid dependable
prosperity and all the blessings which
attend.
Protection Of Industries
II has been proved again and again
that we cannot, while throwing our
markets open to the world. maintain
American standards Of living and. op-
portunity. and hold our Industrial emil
nence In such unequal competition.
There Is Turing fallacy In the theory
Of banlshed 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 ex.
pansion, We must adjust our tariffs
to the new order. We seek partici.
patton In the worlds exchanges. bo-
cause 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. Opportunity II calling not
alone for the restoration. but for .
new era In production, transportation
and trade. We shall answer II best
by meeting the demand Of q surpass-
ing home market, BY promoting SELF
reliance In production and BY bidding
enterprise. genius and efficiency to
carry our cargoes In American bot
toms to the marts Of the world.
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
standards. reared through constitution
al liberty and maintained opportunity.
we invite the world to the same
heights. But pride In things wrought
Ii no reflex Of completed task. Com
mon welfare 10 the goal Of our national
endeavor. Wealth Ii not inimical to
welfare. II ought to be Its frIendliest
agency. There never can be equality
Of rewards or possessions 80 long a.
the human plan contains varied talents
and differing degrees Of industry and
thrift. but ours ought to be country
free from great blotches Of distressed
poverty. We ought to find a way to
guard against the perils and penalties
Of unemployment. We want an Amer
lea Of homes. illumlned with hope and
happiness. where mothers, freed from
the necessity for long hours Of toll be-
yond their own doors. may preside a.

citizenship. We want the cradle Of
American childhood rocked under con.

that no blight may touch II In it, do

that no selfish interest, no material

There ia no short cut to the making

ful today as never before Of the frlc-
tion Of modern industriallsm, and We
must learn Its causes and reduce Its

methods. Where genius has made for
