than in all history, because our vast
continent is so ill-supplied With
those arms of the sea, which have
always kept the countries of western
Europe in close touch with that great
universal and common highroad, the
open ocean. On the whole, we have
made wonderful progress, but in
the matter of rural roads we have
until very recent years made a far
less impressive advance. Within two
decades, however, marking the be-
ginning of the motor age, our ad-
vance in this respect has been pheno-
menal, making it most fitting that
recognized center of the highway
system should at this time be set
up.
But lying beyond this system OF
modern highways, are more than g.
900 600 miles of road whose service
is. though of great Importance, es-
sentially local. We must recognize
the obligation to modernze these
more remote sections, of the sys-
tenn to the fullest extent justified by
economic conditions. Every form of
transportation, by water, by rail, by
highway, or by airway, must be
drawn upon for a maximum of the
particular kind of service for which
it is best fitted.
THE importance of a perfected
highway system as measure of ma
tional defense has been profoundly
impressed upon us, and must not be
overlooked The amazing mobiliza-
ton of the forces which only yester-
day were fighting for civilization,
was possible in no small part be-
cause of the roads built by the
Caesars were still available for such
tremendous movements. If the time
comes when our own country has
need for a like mobilization in the
national defense, perfected system
of highways will be one of our most
powerful bulwarks."

mony the President declared that the
