high. The whole family was ex-
cited-until we discovered we were
raising burdock. The peanuts, you
see, had been roasted. But the
burdock seed was alive. The ex-
perience strikes me as being worthy
OF telling here because it illustrates
how necessary it is for human be-
ings to watch something grow
Parents, horticulturists, inventors,
contractors, sculptors, herdsmen,
and even misers and dictators will
know what 1 mean. Misers watch
their hoard grow. Dictators see
their armies grow, while their ego
itself initiates. Fortunately, the
great majority of us in the world
take our greatest delight from
watching fine things grow.
Fair Grew Like Jacks Beanstalk.
The fair grew as fast as Jacks
beanstalk from the moment it got
under way. 1t was natural" as
regards news interest. 1t was to pe
expected that as the offspring OF
New York City, commercial and
sociological center of the United
States, if not of the entire world,
it must be in keeping with that

eminent, States and municipalities
threw in their support. The prepa-
ration of the site was in itself a
record achievement, and an atten-
ton -getter-even if to start with
we didn't have soil as good as that
out under the plum tree. We went
about a hundred feet below grade,

Straw Of Hope, Display of Faith.
The fairs theme, Building the
World of Tomorrow" was straw of
hope and a display of faith which
this country and sixty nations of the
world were only too willing to grasp.
Men of vision and courage, in plan

and start thinking. People come
here again and again, because they
have found that they get something
invaluable out Of the fair. The ex-
position has a stimulating effect not
to be denied. And it is becoming a
popular sport in American living
rooms to see who saw the most at
the New York Worlds Fair. Proba-
bly, no one person will ever see it all
In any case, this sort of competition
Is great force in and for American
enterprise. 1t alone is enough to
send us additional millions of
visitors. 1t leaves us more sure than

be drain on the taxpayers than the
other appropriations made at the
same session because nearly all the
loans suggested did provide for some
sort of reimbursement in whole or in
part, whereas direct grants and sub
sides are sheer expense without re-
endorsement except through higher
and higher taxes.
1t was Congress which showed its
independence, to be sure, but long
after the real damage had been done
and long after action on important
measures needing revision-for which
there were at least seven months of
time for consideration-had been
rendered impossible by reason of the
approach of adjournment.

Nations In Friendly Rivalry.

most all the nations OF the world
were eager to participate in the ex-
position. There's no denying that
every nation in the world places
high value on the opinions and mar
kets of the United States. We would
have it no other way; indeed, our
position in world esteem is to be
cherished and guarded by continual
thought of our national conduct.
And so the fair started an inter-
national competition - competition
as friendly as the great Olympic
games, though I dare say more
far-reaching than any sports event
could be. Let it be said of our ma
tional exhibitors that they brought
to this country, for all the world to
see, that which they considered most
pleasing, most inspiring and most
constructive out of their histories
and their accomplishments. Un-
questionably, the International Area
at the fair today displays the great
est assembly of high-quality products
that the world has ever produced.
This part of the fair alone, If care
fully studied, is in itself a liberal
education. International competi-
ton has produced for the occasion
world forum Of friendship.
AS individuals, we of the New
York Worlds Fair Corp. are not
oblivious to world conditions. The
exposition, however, in fulfilling its
destiny, engages only in constructive
thoughts and activities. It's role is
that of the tolerant friend.
The fair represents a supreme ef-
fort. 1t is an international exposi-
ton that cannot have counterpart
IN a generation or two. 1t Is making

A Competition In Excellence.

AS was to be hoped, the fair set
up, first. an industrial competition
IN this country; and, secondly a
competition among nations. Indus
try, during this last decade, has be-
come increasingly aware of its social
obligation, Of its obligation to the
consuming public. The fairs theme
was enough to incite our foremost
business and industrial firms to dis
play, in some concrete form, the
manner in which they accepted this
newly recognized obligation. More
over, the fair afforded our ever
creative industries the opportunity
to take their new discoveries and
new ideas out of the laboratory and
put them before the public. Nat
urally each industry tried to outdo
all the other industries in setting up
a display that would steal the
show" The spectacular results of
this most admirable industrial COM
petition are today on view at the
greatest of international expositions.
In passing, let me say that American
industry is entitled to its great pride
in what 1t has done at the New York
Worlds Fair.
