Prayer for Industrial Peace.
T. wish for an America no less alert
IN guarding against dangers from
within than it is watchful against
enemies from without. Our funda-
mental law recognizes no class, no
group, no section. There must be
none In legislation or administration.
The supreme inspiration is the COM
monweal. Humanity ,hungers for in
tef4atlonal peace n We crave it with
all 1nahkind. MY most revcrcnt prayer
for America is for industrial peace,
with it's rewards widely and generally
distributed amid the inspirations OF
equal opportunity.
no n justly may deny the equality
OF opportunity which made us what
we are. We have mistaken unpre-
parcdness to embrace it, to be a chal-
tenge of the reality, and due concern
1r making all citizens fit for partici-
ton will give added strength for

Jag Of law and order and renew our
&onsecration. Ours is a constitutional
Freedom, where the popular will is
The law supreme and minorities are
acrediy protected. Our revisions,

deliberate judgment and an orderly
Progress. n we mean to cure our
IIls, but never destroy or permit de-
ftruction by force.
had rather submit our industrial
controversies to the conference table
4 in advance than to a settlement table
: AFTER conflict and suffering. The earth
is. thirsting for the cup Of good will.
Unterst anding is it's fountain source.
4 1would like to acclaim an era of good
f" n>d dependable prosperity and
all the blessings which attend.
