hcVcr before when peoples are
seeking trade, restoration and rX-

way to widcned influence and the
triumphs of peace. We know full
we'll we cannot sell where we do
not buy and we cannot sell sue
CesSfully where we do not carry.
Opportunity is calling. not
alone for the restoration, but for
a new era in production, trans
portation and trade, We shall
answer 1t best by meeting the
demand OF surprising home
market, by promoting self re-
lance in production and by bid
ding enterprise. genius and effic-

American bottoms to the markets
of the world.
An America of Homes.
I'VE would not have an Ameri-
ca living within and for herself
alone but we would have her self
reliant, independent and ever
nobler, stronger and richer. Be
| lteving in our higher standards
reared through constitutional lib
erty and maintained opportunity,
we invite the world to the same
heights. But pride in things
wrought is no reflex of a complet-
ed task. Common welfare Is the
goal of our national endeavor.
Wealth is not inimical to welfare,
it 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 a country free from great
hlotches of distressed poverty. We
ought to find a way to guard
against the perils and penalties of
unemployment. We want an
America of homes, illuminated
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 citi-
zenship. We want the cradle of
American childhood rocked under
conditions SO wholesome and so
hopeful that no blight may touch
1t in its development and we want
to provide that no selfish interest,
no material necessity 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. Tho world has witnessed
again and again. the futility and
the mischief of ill-considered RENE
dies for social and economic dis
orders. But We are mindful today
as never before of the friction OF
/, modern industrialism and We mus
learn its causes and reduce its evi
, consequences by sober and tested
, methods. Where genius has made
for great possibilities. justice ant
happiness must be reflected in 6
greater common welfare.
