der. We seek participation in the worlds exchanges 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, and we cannot sell successfully where we do not carry. Opportunity is call Ing not alone for the restoration, but for new era in production, transpor. tatlon and trade. We shall answer it best by meeting the demand of a sur passing home market by promoting self reliance In production and by bidding enterprise, genius and efficiency to car ry our cargees in American bottoms to the marts of the world.
 An America Of Homes
 We would not have an America liv- Ing yithia and for herself alone. but we wosid have herself reliant, iude- pendent and even nobler, stronger and richer. xBelieviAg in our higher stand. ards rea ared though constitutions lib erty and maintained opportunity, we 1n- vite the world to the same heiIhts. But pride in things wrought Is no~re- nex ef completed task. Common welfare Is the goal of our nutiona. en- deavor. Wealth Is inImlcal to wei. fare: k ought to be its frIendliest agency. There never can be euualIty of rewards or possessions so long as the human plan contains varied talents and differing degrees of industry and thrift. But ours ought to be a country 
 property. We ought to find a way to guard against the perils and penalties of unemployment. We want an Ameri- ca of homes, lllumined with hope and happiness. where mothers, freed from the nece ssity for long hours of toll be- yond their own doors, may preside as befits the hesrthst0ne of American citi. senship. We want the cradle of Amer lean childhood rocked under conditions 80 wholesome and so hopeful that no blight may touch H In Its development. and we want to provide that no selfish interest, no material necessary. no lack of opportunity shall prevent the gain Ing 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 i'll considered remedies for sociaa and economic disorders. But We are mindful today as never before f the friction of modern industrialisnn. and we must learn its causes and re- duce it's evil consequences by sober and tasted methods. Where genius has made for great Possibilities justice and happiness mu3 be reflected in a great ST cemHen welfare.
 eerSlee the Supreme Commitment
 Service ss she. supreme commitment of life. would rejoice to acclsim the era Of tile Golden Rule and crown It with tAe sutocracy 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- precision of the popular will.
 One cannot stand in this presence and be unmfndful of the tremendous responsibility. The worlds upheaval has been added heavily to our tasks, but with the realization comes the surge of high resolve, and there is re- assurance In belief in the God given destiny of our republic. If f1t that there is to be ssle responsibility in the executive for the America of tomorrow should shrink from the burden. But here are a hundred millions, with com mon concern and shared responsibility answerable to God and country. Tht republic summons them to their duty and invite cooperation. I accept m, part with single mindedness of purpose and humility of spirit and implore thc favor and guidance of God in his heav. en. With these am unafraid anu confidently face the future. I have taken the solemn oath of office on that passage of Holy Writ wherein it l.. asked:
 What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?" This plight to God and country.
