Protection Of Industries.
1t has been proved again and again
mat we cannot, while throwing our
markets open to the world, maintain
American standards Of living and OPP
portunity. and hold our Industrial emf
hence 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-
hected 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, be-
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 Is calling not
alone for the restoration, but for a
new era In production. transportation
and trade. We shall answer 1t best
by meeting the demand Of 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
is no reflex of u completed task. Com
mon welfare Is the goal of our national
endeavor. Wealth Is not inimical to
welfare. II ought to be its friendlIest
agency. There never can be equality
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 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 Amer
lea OF homes. illumined with hope and
happiness where mothers, freed from
the necessity for long hours OF toll be-
yond their own doors, may preside as

We want the cradle of

that no blight may touch 1t In Its de.
