We have seen world passion spend its fury, but we contemplate our re- public unshaken and hold our civilization secure. Liberty—lib- erty within the law—and civiliza- tion are inseparable, and though both were threatened we find them now sécure, and there comes to Americans the profound assurance that our representative govern- ment is the highest expression and surest guaranty of both. Standing in this presence, mind- ful of the solemnity of this occa- sion, fecling the emotions which no one may know until he senses the great weight of responsibili for himself. I must utter my belief in the divine inspiration of the founding fathers. Sureiy there must have been God's intent in the making of this new world republic. Ours is an organic law which had but one ambiguity, and We saw shat effaced in a baptism of sacri- fice and blood, with Union main- tained, the nation supreme and its concord inspiring. We have scen the world rivet its hopeful gaze on the great truths on which the founders' wrought. We have seen civil,, human and religious liberty verified and glorified. In the be- ginning the old world scoffed at our experiment; today our founda- tions of political and social belief stand unshaken, a precious in- heritance to ourselves, an inspir- ing example of freedom and civil- ization to all mankind. Let us express renewed and strengthened devotion in grateful reverence for the immortal beginning and utter our confidence in the supreme ful- fillment. Progress Proves Wind: The recorded progress of our re- public, materially and spiritually, in itself proves the wisdom of the inherited policy of non-involvment in old world affairs. Confident of our ability to work out our own destiny and jealously guarding our right to do so, we seek no part in directing the des- tinies of the old world. We do not mean to be entangled. We will accept no responsibility except as our own conscience dnd judgment in each instance may de- termine. Our eyes never will be blind to a developing menace, our ears never deaf to the call of civilization. We recognize the new order in the world, with the closer contacts which prog- ress has wrought. We sense the call of the human heart for fellowship, fraternity and co-operation. We crave friendship and harbor no hate. But America—our Ameri the America builded on the foundation Iaid by the inspired fathers—can be a party 10 no permanent military al- liance. It can enter into no political commitments uor assume any economic obligations or subject our decisions to any other than our own authority. 1 am sure our own people will not misunderstand _nor will the world misconstrue. We have o thought to impede the paths to closer rela- tionship. We wish to promote under- standing. We want to do our part in making offensive warfarc so hate- ful that governments and pcoples who resort to it must prove the righteousness of their cause or stand as outlaws before the bar of civili- zation. Axsociation for Counsel. We are ready 1o associate our- selves with the nations of the world, great and small, for conference, for counsel, 1o seck the expressed views of world opinion, to recommend a way to approximate disarmament und relieve the crushing burdens of military and naval establishments. We clect 1o participate in suggesting plans for mediation, conciliation d arbitration, and would gladly join in that expressed conscience of progress. which secks to clarify and write the laws of lationship and es es intef national re- tablish a world court for the disposition of such Jjus- ticiable questions as nations are agreed 1o submit thereto.

We have come to a new realization of our place in the world and a new appraisal of our na- tion by the world. The unselfishness of these United States is a thing proven, our devotion to peace for ourselves and for the world is well established, our concern for preserved civilization has had its impassioned and heroic expression. There was no American failure to resist the at- tempted reversion of civilization; there will be no failure today or to- morrow. Rextx on Popular Will. The success of our popular gov- ernment rests wholly upon the correct interpretation of the de liberate, intelligent, pendable popular will of America. In de- liberate questioning of a suggest- ed change of national policy, where internationality was to supersede nationality, we turned to a refer- endum to the American people. There was ample discussion and there is a public mandate in mani- fest understanding.

Because we cher- ish ideals of justice and peac causs we ' appraise internatio comity and helpful relationship no less highly than any people of war be- al the world, we aspire to a n place in the moral leadership of civilization, and we held a main- tained America, the proven repub- lic, the unshaken temple of rep- resentative democracy, to be mot only an ins and example, but the highest agency of strength- ening good will and promoting accord on both continents. Mankind needs a worldwide bene- of understunding. It is among individuals, among peoples, among governmen and it will inaugurate an era of good fecling to mark the birth order. In such understanding men will strive confidently for the pro- motion of their better relation- ships and nations will promote the comitics 5o essential to peace.

We have not strengthencd ours in accordance with our Tesources or our genius, notably on our own coutinent, where @ galaxy of republies re- flect the glory of new world de- mocracy, but in the new order of financ and trade we mean to promote cnlarged activities and seek expanded confidence. Perhaps make helpful contribution by than prove a republic’s capacity to emerge from the wreckage of war. While the world's embittered we no more example travail did not leave us devastated lands nor desolated citics, left no gaping wounds, no breast with hate, it did involve us in the de- lirium of expenditure, in expanded currency and credits, in unbalanced industry, in unspeakable waste and disturbed relationships. While it uncovered our portion of hate- 14 - & 2z - ful selfishness at home, it also re- vealed the heart of America as sound and fearl, nd beating in confidence unfailing. Amid it all we have riveted gaze of all civilization to the selfishness and the righteousness of representative democracy, where our freedom never hus made offcnsive warfare, never has sought territorial aggrandizement through force, never the un- has turned to the arbitrament of arms until reason had been ex- hausted. ‘When the governments of earth shall have established a freedom like our own and shall have sanc- tioned the pursuit of peace as we have practiced it, T believe the last sorrow and the final sacrifice of in- ternational warfare will have been written.

We hold no national prejudices, we -en- tertain no spirit of revenge, we do not hate, we do not covet, we dream of no conquest, nor boast of armed prowess. 1f, despite again forced upon us, 1 earnestly hope a way may found which wiil unify our individual and collec- tive strength and consecrate all America, materially and spiritually, body and soul, to national defense. I can vision the ideal republic where man and woman is called the flag for assignment to duty, for whatever service, military or civic, the individual is best fitted, where we may call to universal serv- jce every plant, agency or facility. all in the sublime sacrifice for coun- try and not one penny of war profit shall inure to the benefit of pri- vate individual, corporation and com- b on, but all e the normal shall flow into the defense chest of the nation.

No civiliation can survive repudiation. We can reduce th penditures and we will. We can strike at war taxation and must.

The business world reflects the disturbance of war's reaction. Herein flows the life blood of ma- terial existence. The economic mechanism is intricate and its parts interdependent and has suf- fered the shocks and jars incident to abnormal demands. credit in- flation and price upheavals. The normal balances have been impair- ed, the channels of distribution have been clogged, the relations of labor and management have been strained. We must seek the readjustment with care and cour- age. Our people must give and take. Prices must reflect the re- ceding fever of war activities. Perhaps we never shall know the old levels of wage again because war invariably readjusts compen- sations and the necessaries of life will show their inseparable rela- tionship, but we must strive for normaley to reach stability. All the penalties will not be light nor evenly distributed. There is no way of making them so. There is no instant step from disorder to order. We must face acondition of grim reality, charge off our losses and start afresh. It is the oldest lesson of civilization. 1 would like the government to do all it can to mitigate them. In understanding. in mutuality of in- terest, in concern for the common good our tasks will be solved. No altered system will work a miracle. Any wild experiment will only add to the confusion. Our best assurance lies in efficient ad- ministration of our proven tem. rom Destruction to Production. The forward course of the busi- ness cycle is unmistakable. Peo- ples are turning from destruction to production. Industry has sensed the changed order and our own people are turning to resume th normal onward way. The call is for productive America to go on.
