Supporters and Participants Dis

for the Constitution not only created a
political system of self government but
il set the framework for new relation
of man to man,
"The new right Of man which was
embraced by the fathers in the founda-
tion of the Republic was the declared
equality among men. This ideal as
conceived by them meant not merely
equality of birth and equality before the
law, but. far beyond that. 1t meant
equality of opportunity for each indl-
viiual to attain that place in the COM
munity to which his abilities and char
arter entitlc him While a large part
Of the world has come to accept the
ideal Of equality before the law, and
some Of them equality of birth, il is in
this emphasis of maintained equality OF
opportunity that the United States has
developed an underlying system OF lie
steadily dinerentiating it from that OF
most other peoples.

"Of deeper import than even this is
the fundamental value of these contests
in education and the stirring of spirit
Of public service.
Fortunately, the contest avoids a
nebulous discussion of the abstract
problem of government and gets square,

subjects for the American phases of the

Springs Of Patriotism.
Devotion to our home, our town, otir
State, to our country and to our ma
tional ideals are the springs Of patriot
ism. This, the most inspiring Of all
human emotions, is the imponderable,
cohesive force of democracy.
Our Government was designed Of
strong national power for defense
against enemies within and without, yet
with an intense decentralization into
States rights and responsibilities. II Is

alone in healthy nationalism. not in in

America has great opportunity for
service to its own people and to the

Following is the text of Secretary
Hoover's speech at the Fifth National
Oratorical Contest finals in the WASH
ington Auditorium last night:
Il know Of no occasion thati more

future Of our democracy than the one
upon which we are met tonight. Dur

newspapers of the country has grown
from a participation of 1900 boys and
girls in our high schools to the partlcl-
patton of more than 100000. 1t mas
been an amazing growth. ana IL we
take into account the great numbers
who have heard these contests III their
vast pyramid of tryouts, we know that
millions more of our people have heard
careful and pregnant debate upon the
most fundamental of all our institu-
tionS the Constitution of the United
States
There is suggestive paradox in THIS
great contest for which we are gathered
here: il has to do with youth and at the
same time with the oldest problem
known to civilized man-that OF gov
ernment. Heretofore 1t has generally
been assumed that the study of the
mechanics of government could be OF
genuine concern only to adults 1t
comes as a refreshing proposal that
government is a vital problem to youth

country should be enlisted in study and

tuition and its consequences. We have

ill-considered action. check on storms
of public passion, curb on domination
that would destroy equality of oppor-
tunity. Yet 1t has proved to have an
adaptability TO meet the shifting social
needs which have been the consequence
of great invention or the immense in
crease in population and territory or
changing ideas. And each new genera
ton must find the changes in the activi-
ties of our Government which this in
creasing compleXity of life brings.
Youth must ever be the bearer of
progress, and youth should never, out
of fealty to tradition, fall into the mood
that any change is undesirable. Youth
should look upon change with cold de-
tachment. Much change Is proposed in
the name of progress which is mere
emotion. Those have no right to de-
mand change who are not first pos
sessed of a knowledge of the significance
Of our institutions. And this is one of
the values of this nationwide discussion
it is teaching our youth the nature
and the success of this great plan of
ordered freedom as never before.
Vast Promise for Future.
"It is easy to be misled by mere big
ness of the participants in such events
as this-by noise and by numbers
Nevertheless, I cannot but feel that be-
cause of the numbers involved, and be-
cause of the accompanying emphasis on
individual study and development, we
have here an agency of vast promise
