OF THE
Presidents Sacred Oath

THE American people have today inaugurated Pres
dent of the United States with impressive ceremonies
keyed to the traditional patriotic and religious principles
of our democratic nation.
Our presidential inaugurals have always been
occasions for the expression of high faith in the destiny
of the United States of loyalty to its principles and of
reverence to God.
Todays inaugural has been conducted in full conform
with the American tradition Franklin Belano Roose
welt has stood before his people all American presidents
have done and taken sacred oath to faithfully execute
the office President the United States and to the best
of my ability preserve protect and defend the Constitu
ton of the United States
Ii of presidents have taken this oath with keen
a mindfulness of its spiritual significance.
Probably all of them have been awed and humbed by
he occasion of its taking.
Some them have been inspired by to expression of
faith and principle in manner to enrich unborn genera
tons with living words.
Abraham Lincoln leaving Springfield for his first
inaugural, said
II go to assume a task difficult than that which
deyesed upon Washington tniess the Great God who
assisted him shall he with and aid must fail; but
il the same Omniscent Mind and Almighty Arm that
directed and protected him shall guide and support me-
shall fail shall succeed Let all pray that the God
of our fathers may not fOrsake us now"
A RRIVING in Washington. Mr.. Lincoln realized civil
a inevitable but with this event in
fatefui prospect he had the faith to say:
THE mystic cord of memory, stretching from every
battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and
heartstene all this bread land viii vet swell the
chorus of the Union when again touched as surely they
will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Much earlier in our national history Thomas Jeffer-
son made his first inaugural occasion for stating the
basic principles American life and government In words
as immortal those of Lincoln. =
Equal and exact justice to all men, he said, "of

BEAUTIFUL words wise words full of faith and
D devotion and love of country have come from the
lips of our presidents in their inaugural messages
They all rise great patriotic and spiritual heights
at the moment of entry upon the difficult tasks OF the
presidency and mbued by the occasion with under
standing and appreciation of the of their powers
The American presidential inaugural As precious
and priceless institution.
1t gives us more than fine words. 1t gives us men
who are sincere in heart well word and more than
once has turned ambitious men back from the tempting
paths of power and politics to the finer arts of freedom,
prosperity and peace
The God of our American fathers has failed our
presidents and people.
Let us hope and pray as Lincoln did, that God will
not forsake

THIS is not TO say that the
L background of the Capitol
Plaza in which Nj. Roosevelt
speaks is free of disagreement.
Only the Wilhelmstrasse and
around the Pa ago Venezla
have that kind of freedom.
Here, an all-out and person
ally bitter debate over Mr..
Roosevelt's lease-lend bill will
have to recess a few hours so
the participants can hear the
inaugural before resuming the
ardent presentation their
earnest views.
But even that struggle is shap-
ing up into a conflict over meth
0dS rather Than principles. There
is no doubt Mr.. Roosevelt will
get his bill. better for the fight it
encountered, better in all ways
because the fight will clear the
atmosphere and amendments
VIII perfect the details.

1T SEEMS to me the news be-
L hind this is that all of the
wise leaders of politics here, in
readjusting their purposes after
the sharp election, seem to have
brought themselves swiftly to
decision to make themselves use
full to their country in the best
way they can.
They are going 10 contribute
their services TO national inter-
est each in his own way. There
is no doubt their people out in
the country will be following
them in this.
| hear no one talking about
sacrificing his principles | see
no principles being sacrificed.
As soon as the greater danger is
over and the fire eXtinguished l
have no doubt that they will be
right back in there throwing
thinGs-and in the meantime
there will continue TO be a good
continuous d m cratic row
about how TO handle the hose.
This is the backdrop against
which Mr.. Roosevelt speaks.

THERE is no more colorful
corner of it than in the
shadow where John Garner. the
retiring vice president, sits ST.
lent.
After all that has passed in
the way of earnest political
fighting between him and Mr..
Roosevelt. l understand from
White House sources the Pres
ident asked him privately to
, take job in the gun turret with
him. In the same tone. Mr..
Garner agreed to take any suited
to his years and talents.
A few may have been men
toned off hand. none of which
suited his unrivaled experience
in legislative and political mat
tiers. But he may yet be called
back when the right spot needs
filling.
Reminiscing with friends Car.
ner said:
"Most OF the men with whom
I serve have been patriotic men.
Regardless of their party they
have wanted TO do what is best
for the country"
Garner turned his government
owned and operated vice preSi.
Dental car over to his successor.
Henry Wallace, a few days ahead
of time.
Henry will he having a lot
of places to go in the next few
days 80 I am turning the car
over to him." he said. "All 4
need to do is to- get TO the
Capitol"
A figure somewhat like the
Father of Texas before him. Sam
Houston. Garner is returning 10
UNalde TO see that there is
plenty of grass and flowers and
swings for the children"
Mr.. Wallace. on the other
hand. has been going-to the eX-
treme Of keeping his pants
pressed. his shoes shined. and a
lnt of similar things he. never
wanted 10 do. in preparation for
tho task at hand.
This Is the scene in which Mr..
Roosevelt assumes commander

Navy Work
On Schedule,
Women Told
Democrats Hear
Lewis Compton
Tell PROGRESS

Contracts for ships, planes and
public works fos the United States
Navy all are on schedule or ahead
of schedule, Assistant Secretary of
the Navy Lewis Compton told men,
bers of the Women's National Demo-
cratic Club last night.
Addressing a club dinner at its
headquarters, Mr.. Compton as
serted: THE cry for speed, as far
as the Navy goes, is nothing new"
Whereas four years ago 1t took
80 months to build a destroyer, he
declared, today only Is months are
required.
The Navy was able to place under
contract all combatant tonnage,
authorized and appropriated, within
two hours after the President signed
the Navy appropriation bill, Mr..
Compton declared. This was posi-
BILE, he explained, because the Navy
secured from Congress the power
to negotiate contracts on the "if and
when" basis, while the bills were
still in committee.
Contributing to the speed of the
Navy construction program has been
the Standardization of designs, so
that the ships parts can be dupli-
Gated, and the fact that private
yards are permitted to buy machin-
cry and equipment for use in building
ships identical to that used by the
Navy yards.
The Navy also has farmed out
contracts for designs with private
naval architects and by tapping
those sources has been able to speed
up that phase of the program, Mr..
Compton declared.
The training of personnel is OF
vital Importance, he pointed out.
The development of shore facilities
for training men also is current
problem, he said.
Mrs. Compton also was a guest
at the dinner, which was arranged
by Mrs. Emmet Gudger. Miss Mary
E. Bakewell, the second vice presl-
dent, presided in the absence OF
Mrs. Claude Pepper.
