 Speaking last night at banquet rendered by intimate friends in honor of his birthday, MT. Mellon reviewed the financial crises through which the nation moved in the past 15 years and added:
 Americans Most Fortunate
 What has been accomplished it seems to me, in the period in which we haves been considering is that the average person in this country now commands the means of a comfortable subsistence to a great CT extent and with less effort than ever before in the history of the world. l do not mean to say that we have attained equality of oppor-
 
 it. But here in America, if we have not achieved that aim towards which we have been striving, at least we are on the way towards realizing it eventually, nor have we any reason to be dissatisfied with our present rate of progress"
 The opportunities which have so vastly increased in the last genera tion," Secretary Mellon added. "are only the forerunners of others, and perhaps greater ones. which will come as the result of forces now at work and those constantly being discovered.
