Reforms Too Long Delayed
Have Jeopardiyed Peace,

We know 1t takes time 10 adjust
government to the needs of society
But modern history proves that re-
forms too long delayed or denied have
Jeopardized peace, undermined democ-
racy and swept away civil and re-
ligious liberties.
Yes, time more than ever before Is
vital in craftsmanship and in govern
ment--in all three branches of it.
We will no longer be permitted to
sacrifice each generation in turn while
the law catches up with life.
We can no longer afford the luxury
Of 20-year lags.
You will find no Justification in
any OF the language of the Constitu-
ton for delay in the reforms which
the mass of the American people
now demand.
Yet nearly every attempt to meet
those demands for social and economic
betterment has been jeopardized or
actually forbidden by those who have
sought to read into the Constitution
language which the trainers refused
to write into the Constitution.
No one cherishes more deeply than
the civil and religious liberties
achieved by so much blood and anguish
through the many centuries of Anglo
American history. But the Constitu-
ton guarantees liberty, not license
masquerading as liberty.
Let me put the real situation in
the simplest terms The present Gov
ernment of the. United States has
never taken away and never will take
away any liberty from any minority.
unless 1t be minority which so
abuses its liberty as to do positive
and definite harm to its neighbors
constituting the majority. But the
Government of the United States re-
fuses to forget that the Bill of Rights
was put into the Constitution not only
to protect minorities against intoler-
ance OF majorities. but to protect ma
Jorities against the enthronement of
minorities.
Bill Of Rights Assumes
Tolerance and Fair Play.
Nothing would so sArely DESTROY
the substance of what the Bill of
Rights protects than its perversion
to prevent social progress. The surest
protection of the individual and of
minorities is that fundamental toll
erance and feeling for fair play which
the Bill of Rights assumes. But toll
erance and fair play would disappear
mere as 1T has in some other lands If
the great mass of people were denied
confidence in their justice. their Sc
curity and their self-respect. Des-
perate people in other lands surren-
dered their liberties when freedom
came merely to mean humiliation and
starvation. The crisis of 1888 should
make us understand that.
On this solemn anniversary I ask
that the American people rejoice in
the wisdom of their Constitution.
I ask that they guarantee the ef-
fectiveness of each of its parts by
living by the Constitution as whole.
ask that they have faith in its
ultimate capacity TO work out the
problems Of democracy. but that they
Justify that faith by making it work
now rather than 90 years from now.
1s ask that they give their fealty
TO the Constitution itself, and not TO
Its nnisinterpreters.
l ask that they exalt the glorious

simplicity OF it's purposes. rather than
century OF complicated legalism.
! ask that majorities and minorities
subordinate intolerance and power
alike to the common good of all.

mon bond. without bitterness. for

stltution day program in Syl-
van Theater last night follows
My Fellow Americans:
Tonight, $50 years ago. 38 weary
delegates to a convention in Philadel-
phia signed the Constitution. Four
handvritten sheets of parchment were
enough to state the terms on which
l3 Independent. weak little republics
agreed to try to survive together as
one strong nation
A third of the original delegates
had given up and gone home. The
moral force of Washington and Frank
lin had kept the rest together. Those
remained who cared the most; and
caring most. dared most.
The world of 1897 provided a per-
feet opportunity for the organizatica
OF new form of government thuus-
ands Of miles removed from infu-
ences hostile to it. How we then gov
erned ourselves did not greatly con-
cern Europe. And what occurred in
Europe did not Immediately affect us.
To-Day the picture is different
Now what we do has enormous i'm
mediate effect not only among the
nations OF Europe. but also among
those of the Americas and the Far
East. and what in any part Of the
world they do as surely and quickly
affects US.
Clear Challenge Heard
To Democratic Ideals.
In such An atmosphere our gen.
Grafton has watched democrac cies re-
place monarchies which had failed
their people and dicta torships dis
place democracies which had failed
10 function. And of late we have
heard clear challenge to the demo-
cratic idea Of representative govern
ment.
We do not deny that the methods
of the challengers-whether they be
called "communistic" or "dictatorial'
or "militarv"-have obtained for
many who live under them material
things they did not obtain under de-
mocracies which they had failed to
make function. Unemployment has
been lessened-even though the cause
is a mad manufacturing Of arma-
ments. Order prevalls-even though
maintained by fear. at the expense
of liberty and individual rights.
So their leaders laugh at all con-
stitutions, predict the copying of their
own methods and prophesy the early
end of democracy throughout the
world
Both that attitude and that pre-
diction are denied by those Of us who
stlll believe in democracy--that is
I by the overwhelming ma lority of the
! nations OF the world and by the over
whelming majority OF the people oi
the world
And the denial is based on two
! reasons eternally right.
I People Will Not Commit
Permanent Conduct Of Affairs.
The first reason is that modern mer
and women will not tamely commit te
one man or one group the permanent
conduct OF their Government
Eventually they will insist not onl,
on the right to choose who shall govern
them but also upon the periodic re.

To hold to that course our consti-
tntional democratic form of govern
ment must meet the insistence Of the
great mass of our people that eco
nomic and social security and the
standard of American living be raised
from what they are to levels which
the people know our resources Justify.

Believes Constitution Holds
Means Of Gaining Results.
am not a pessimist. / believe
that democratic government in this
country can do all the things which
common-sense people, seeing that pic
ture as whole, have the right to
expect. / believe that these things
can be done under the Constitution,
without the surrender of single one
of the civil and religious liberties it
was intended to safeguard.
And ! am determined that under the
Constitution these things shall be
done.
The men who wrote the Constitution
were the men who fought the Revo-
luton. They had watched a weak
emergency government almost lose the
war. and continue economic distress
among l3 little republics-at peace,
but without effective national gov
eminent
so when these men planned a new
government, they drew the kind of
agreement which men make when
they really want to work together
under it for very long time.
For the youngest of nations they
drew what is today the oldest written
instrument under which men have
continuously lived together as a
nation.
The Constitution of the United
States was layman's document, not
a lawyers contract. That cannot be
stressed too often. Madison, most
responsible for it, was not a lawyer
nor was Washington or Franklin,
whose sense of the give-and-take of
lie had kept the convention together.
This great laymens document was
charter Of general principles-com-
pletely different from the "whereases"
and the parties of the first part" and
the fine print which lawyers put into
leases and insurance policies and in
stallment agreements.

democracy.
Resources Need Only Spur
to Yield Higher Standards.
In our generation, new idea has
come to dominate thought about gov
ernment-the idea that the resources
OF the Nation can be made to produce
lar higher standard of living for the
masses If only government is intelli-
gent and energetic in giving the right
direction to economic life.
That idea-or more properly that
Ideals wholly justified by the facts.
1t cannot be thrust aside by those who

conditions Of today 1t puts ell forms
OF government TO proof.
That ideal makes understandable
the demands of labor for shorter hours
and higher wages, the demands of
farmers for more stable income. the
demands Of the great ma jority of busi-
ness men for relief from disruptiye
trade practices, the demands of all for

mistermed liberty" which permits
handful of the population to take
far more than their tolerable share
from the rest of the people.
And as other forms of government
in other lands parade their pseudo
science Of economic organiza ton. even
some of our own people may wonder
whether democracy can match djcta-
toThip in giving this generation the
things they want from government.
We have those who really fear the
majority rule of democracy, who want
old forms of economic and social con-
troll to remain in few hands. They
say in their hearts: IF constitutional
democracy continues to threaten our
control why should we be against
plutocratic dictatorship which would
perpetuate our control?"
Another Group Seeks Utopia

And We have those who are in too
much of hurry, who are impatient
at the processes OF constitutional
democracies, who want Utopia over
night and are not sure that some vague
| form of proletarian dictatorship is not
the quickest road TO it.
Both types are equally dangerous.
One represents cold-blooded resolve
to hold power. We have engaged
in definite, and so far successful,

resents reckless resolve to seize
power. Equally we are against that.
