ment as collector of customs, and
that from the first time he met
Bowman he had always considered
him one of his best friends. "You
well deserved the honor of being
named collector and you succeeded
another very fine friend of mine
Frank j. Duffy" Farley declared.
He said he enjoyed his career as
Democratic National Chairman and
that the greatest trsill of his life
was on election night in SO when
his prophecy as to how many states
the Democrats would carry came
true.
/! He declared he also enjoyed his
work in the postoffice department
as postmaster general and praised
the postal service highly
More Serious Subjects
Leading into more serious subjects
! he said:
eve find ourselves in probably
the most serious condition the coun-
try was ever in but I feel we'll come
out okay-financially and other
wise. There is nc problem too great
for the American people to solve.
[ 1--WE have survived all wars and
depreSSiOnS that followed and we'll
survive this one, too.
II want to see the coming gener-
ations have the same chances as the
| present generation and our fOrbears
had. I have plenty of faith in our
people.
"We are bound to have an
economic upset after the war and
/ sincerely hope and trust that
the big industries are making sur
veys to turn from wartime to
peacetime activities the minute
hOstiIities end.'
He cited the auto industry as
having proven how quickly indus
try can change. ''They switched
from making cars to manufactur-
ing war supplies shortly after war
broke out" he declared.
THE government and states and
cities may have to do something to
take up the slack. There will be a
great deal of construction work.
The railroads have done a great
job.
Many miles of highways will
have tc be constructed and the gov
crnment itself will have to do a
rreat deal of construction work.
Between 175O and 1000 new post
office buildings will have to be con-
structed.
Development OF Mexico
There's going to be great oppor-
tunities for development of the re-
sources of Mexico and South Amer
lea and am happy at the very fine
relationship existing between our
country and Mexico. The proper
kind of financial assistance to Mex
leo will bring out the great hidden
wealth of that country.
I'VE may have to furnish manu-
! factured articles fer the destroyed
parts of continental Europe and we
have enough ships to carry our
products overseas.
Post War World
Speaking of the postwar world
he said he didn't know whether the
allied nations would have to- police
the world and that he thought we
will always have a sufficient army
and navy to prevent another war.
IT don't know whether Germany
will have to be divided up. For
awhile we will have the say in
France and Italy. Basically, France
is a great nation. Development o1
the great resources of China will be
a major item after the war.
This isn't time to talk politics
There isn't a family in America
that's not concerned with the war
All of our boys naturally are anxious
, to get back home but at the same
, time proud to serve their country
after the first of the year will
be time to talk politics. 7 am Il
; firm believer in the two-party
system. The stronger a minority
party is the stronger government
: you get from the majority party.
