That cannot fail us If only we keep

Common Sense Tells Truth.
Sirens Sill sing the song of the easy
way for the moment CT difficulty, but
the common sense Ct the common man,
the inherited tradition of an independ-
ent and self-reliant race, the historical
memory of Americans who glory in
Valley Forge even as they glory in York
town-all these tell us the truth fer
which our ancestors sought and suf-
fered, the truth which echoes upward
from this soil of blood and tears, that
the way to the Nations greatness Is the
path of self-reliance. independence, and
Steadfastness in times CT trial and
stress.
Valley Forge met such a challenge
to steadfaStness in times and terms of
war. Our test is to meet this chal-
lenge in times and terms of peace. 1t
is the same challenge. 1t is the same
test Of steadfastness Of will, of clarity
of thought, of resolution of character
of fixity of purpose. of loyalty to ideals
and of mistaken conviction that they
will prevail We are enduring suffer-
ings and we are aSSailed by tempta-
items. We, too, are writing a new
chapter in American history. II We

shall be writing the introduction to the
decline of American character and the
fall of American institutions. If We
are firm and far-sighted, as were
Washington and his men. we shall be
writing the introduction to a yet mcre
glorious epoch in our Nations progress.
We have seen many precious fruits of
the sturdy pioneering virtues that have
made our country first free and then
strong and now proudly in the fore
front of the world. If, by the grace
of God. we stand steadfast in our great
traditions through this time CT stress,
we shall insure that we and our sons
and daughters shall see these fruits
increased many fold.
Valley Forge has come indeed to be
a symbol in American life. 1t is more
than the name fer a place. more than
the scene of a military episode. more
than just critical event in history.
Freedom was won here by fortitude,
not by the flash of the sword. Valley
Forge is cur American synonym for the
trial of human character through pri-
vation and suffering. and it is the
symbol of the triumph of the Ameri-
can SOUL If those few thousand men
endured that long Winter of privation
, and suffering, Inundated by the de-
spair CT their countrymen. and deprived
of support save their own indomitable
will. yet hold their countrymen to the
faith, and of that holding held fast
the freedom of America, what right
have we to be of little faith? God
grant that we may prove worthy of
George Washington and his men of
Valley Forge.

Mr. Hoover entered Valley Forge

ceremony generally accorded the Pres

roads from the station at Betzwood,

The crowd gave Mrs Hoover an ova-

stand after the President had concluded
his speech.
Isaac R. Pennypacker, chairman Of
the Valley Forge Park Commi ssion,
spoke briefly in presenting the Presi-

Mr.. Pennypacker referred to the
Chief Executive as a leader whose
fame has come not from the waging
Of war, but from his work in restoring
the ravages of war"
President Hoover represents the
spirit of a people weary of war and
anxious to know the way to maintain
peace and speed industrial develop

fundamental ideals of the men who
builded our Republic. Never was the
lure of the rosy path to every panacea
and of easy ways to imagined security
more tempting.
For the energies of private initiative,
of independence and a high degree of
individual freedom of our American
system we are offered an alluring sub
stitute in the specious claim that every
body collectively owes each of us indi-
vidually living rather than an opp0r-
tunity to earn a living and the equally
specious claim that hired representa-
tives of a hundred million people can
do better than the people themselves, in
thinking and planning their daily life.

The Revolution. of which Valley
Forge was the darkest but perhaps the
most glorious moment, was fought not
alone for national independence, but to
retain our freedom to continue I'M
hampered the most promising social eX-
pertinent in all human history. Our
American ideals had already been in
process Of development for a century
when the War for independence began
Our Government was an experiment in
securing to people the maximum of
individual freedom. Amazing success
has proved it is no longer an expert
ment. Under 1t has grown a social and
economic system new in the world and
distinctly our own. Human initiative
has been inspired, human energies re-
leased local cooperation has solidly
knit together communities into self
governing democracies, and the human
spirit has blosSomed in an atmosphere
OF new independence and Salf-reSpect
1t brought America to a greatness I'M
paralleled in the history of the world
We must ever continue that fight
Amid the scene Of vastly growing COM
pleXity Of our economic life we must
preserve the independence of the indi-
vidual from the deadening restraints OF
government, yet by the strong arm OF
government equally protect his indi-
Vldual freedom, assure his fair chance
his equality of opportunity from the
entertainments of special pr. Iileges and
greed or domination by my group or
class.
We are still fighting this war of in
dependence. We must not be misled
by the claim that the source of all wis
oom is in the Government. We kn-w
that the source of wisdom is In the peo-
Pile; that the people can Win anew the
