Renewal of Faith
Urged by Hoover
In Flag Day Plea
President Asks Courage
and Adherence to
Early Ideals.

National renewal of faith and cour-
age in time of temporary distress" is
sounded by President Hoover as the
keynote of a Flag day message to the
Nation. The text Of the message fol-
lows:
One hundred and fifty years ago
the Continental Congress established
the fundamental design of our flag and
Gen. Washington set it af1oat as q
symbol of national unity and determi-
nation.
1T is today a symbol enormously
more significant, for it stands for all
that has been accomplished by our
people in the century and a half of
this Nations existence. That accom-
plishment was based on and made pos
sible by faith, fortitude, resolution,
courage and character.
What we need to do on this Flag
day, June the l4th, 1882, is to renew
that faith, resolving that We will hand
on to the next generation, unim-
paired by the passing emotions of tenn
porary distress. these national traits
and the American system which they
have builded"
