ELIZABETHTOWN, Tenn., October 6.—The text of Herbert Hoovei’s speech here today was as follows: I am proud to have been invited as your guest in this celebration of your When Southerners go North or Northerners g South to deliver public eddresss they seem to feel it necessary to first launch into an exp’anation that all lines of sectionalism have disappear- ed in the United States. I am from the West where our g&uple are proud to bz the melted product of both the | Norih and the Souch. Our accent dif- fers from that of the people of Alabama and Vermont, but we have the same hearts, the same kind of homes, the same ideals and aspirations. Every morning and evening w2 read the same news; every night we listen by radio to the same voices. Our m>ntal and physi- cal frontiers are gone. It happens that we neéd geographical divisions for statistical and aescriptive use, but other- wiss*we could leave this question to orators and humorists. Your celebration today raises many memori®s of our national beginnings. Fatriotism is of many inspirations, 1t receives refreshment from many springs. None are more powerful than our tra- ditions of service, of suffering, of ac- complishment and of heroism. rivulets of thos2 traditions from every part of our country in the course of history merge into that great stream of netional memories which is the constant refreshment of national ideals. 'These memories are indsed thz imponderable force which builds and cements our | national life. Double Significance. | To the Wasterner; appreciative of hisiory and tradition, this occasion pre- sents a double significance. As you today, this locality was once the lation's frontier. Here were | enacted some of the most stirring scenes in the brilliant drama of our pioneer era._Seven years before the Declaration of Independence there came to the | banks of the Watauga—which was then | the Far West—the first permanent set- | tlers. They were soon followed by | others from the back country of North | Carolina. In these settlements, fron- tiersmen remote from the centers of civilization, freed by difficult distance from the,sway of ail governmental authority, voluntarily created their own frame of popular government. They crected what was to all practical pur- poses. a free and indspendent state, under their own constitution. In the articles of th> Watanga Association were implanted some of the great prin- ciples which later found permanent lodgement in our fundamental law. Similar associations sprang into being in other parts of these mountains. His- torians of our frontier agree that no ‘more striking proof of the native capac- ity of our early Americans for local self~ ment was ever given than by these associations. i created a government. men, determined in their independence, rallied to the improvised army during the Revolution which at Kings Moun- tain struck a decisive blow for the Colonial causs. They, with their com- patriots from Virginia and the Carolinas, attacked and _disastrously defeated a | formidable army under competent lead- | ership, faded again into the forests as soon as their task was accomplished. | No battle more dramatic or marked by | courag: and skill of a higher order has been fou ght on this continent. It was 2 turning point in the Revolutionary War. It compelled the retirement of Gen. Cornwallis toward the coast, re- vived the flagging spirit of the dis- couraged colonists, and opened the way | for the final victory at Yorktown. I wish to compliment you upon your pag- eant commemorating these achievements. These States, in common with those to the North, began the greatest drama of all history—the spread of Americans from a feeble foothold on th> Atlantic seabpard to the most powerful nation in the world in scarce two centuries. The great West was won-not by the action of the Government, but by indi- vidual effort of intrepid and courageous men from eall thess Atlantic States. They builded their own slf-govern- ment. Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas were gained by pioneers under Sevier, Robertson, Clark, Bocne, Houston and others. They won not only homes for themselves, but for a long time dster- mined the course of history westward. ‘The Mississippi River ceased to be a boundary, and year after year the pow- erful pulsation of westward expansion ign | throbbed with heroim and sacrifice. They were ready to fight for the simple right of self-government. Gen. Fre- mont, the pathfinder to the Pacific Coast, came from Georgia and, true m'/g first self-government of my own State htly | of California. Ancestor Was Southerner. To me it is an inspiration to be stand- ing on this spot, for, in a sense, I have | a common heritage with you. The | earliest ancestor of whom I have record, | Andrew Hoover, a settler in Maryland about two centuries ago, migrated to | North Carolina and built his home a hundred miles from this spot. In Ran- County of that State he did his in building the community, and grave lies in - the little burying und on what was then the Uharrie iver farm. His son, my great-great- grandfather, was part of that movement which started West from your frontier. As Secretary of Commerce I have been profoundly interested in ths amaz- ing progress of the South in this past seven and onc-half years. In order that the department might assist to the fullest extent in that progress, we in- creased our branch offices in the South from 3 in 1920 to 29 in 1928. As a result of the contact thus established we were able to observe your increasing prosperity. \ ‘The record is impressive. There are in the South about 8,000,000 families, and in this period they have shown m- crease in numbers by perhaps 10 per cent. Contrasted with this, the manu- facturing output has increased by over 60 per cent; the number of employes has increased by over 30 per cent; the value of crops has increased by over 45 per ocent; she shipments from Southern ports have increased by 50 per cent; the net income of your raflways has grown by over 140 per cent; electrical power in use has been increased by 125 per cent; the postal raceipts have grown by 45 per cent. That this enormous in- crease in wealth and production has had wide distribution can b2 seen on every hand. It is indicated by increased wages and decreased cost of living, in 20 per cent of new homes, in a zain of 150 per cent of automobiles and 30 per cent in telephoncs. Life insurance in forcs has increased by 70 per cent and bank clearings have increased by 50 per cent. Depositors in savings banks have more than doub'ed. Building end lcan association assets have increased 180 per cent. In nearly every case these |pereentuxes exceed the corresponding increas® in the country as a wholz. Al 1l been accomplished in szven and a half years. South Moving Forward. In every phase of life the South is moving forward. New vistas of better- ment ere opening. The ability and en- ergy of the pecple is constantly growing and is of more dynamic scope.

Our rational officials are chosen in order that they may protect ths politi- cal and economic heaith of the Ameri- can people. In a contest such as this there is no place for personal bitter- ness, A great attribute of our political life has bsen the spirit of fair play with which our fi:'esidentlll contests have been weged former years and the sportsmanlike spirit in which we have accepted the result. We prove ourselves worthy of self-government and worthy of confidence as officials jportion as we keep these contests free from abuse, free from misrepre- sentation and free from words and acts which carry regret. Whatever the re- sult, we remain fellow countrymen. manship in American politics can be found than in - the Inistoric contest waged in this State betwesn two bril- liant brothers, one of whom honors us with his presence et this meeting, the beloved Alfred Taylor of Tennessee.

Yet in ths neat of sirife they kept in mind the advice of that good mother who had admonished her two stalwart sons never to forget the tie of brotherhood. It is in that spirit I wish to discuss the problems that concern our country and the methods I believe necessary to obtain their sclution. Entirc’y New Era. Our country has entersd upon an entirely new era For 14 years cur al tention in public life has been mainly given to the Great War and reconstruc- tion from it. Those 14 years have wit- nessed a revolution in our world rela- tions. in many phas*s of our economic life, and our relations of government to them. Due to .the ingsnuity and hard work of our people Bnd the sound policies..in .government e have. come since the war to be the greatest reser- voir of ths world’s. weall W2 have transformed ourselves from a couatr: borrowing capital from abroad to th2 foremost lender of capital to foreign countries. Our people, growing in ef- ciency and productive power, are pres: ing for expension of world markets. Competition for these markets -grows keener each year. Our increasing for- eign trade has penetrated into every country in the world. Political dis- eases arising from the war misery of foreign countries have at times dis- turbed us by thejr infection of certain of our people.. The poverty of Europe presses huge immigration toward us. We still have unsettled debts due to us from the war, For al these reasons our international relations have vastly increased. By our growth o. wealth and power we have a great burdsn of responsibility for the peace of the world. Abolition of the liquor traffic has ba- come a part of our fundamental law and great problems of enforcement and obedience to law. have arisen from it. From the violence of the war we have inherited increase in crime. Techni. used to defeat justice and to aid law violators.

I wish to remind you of som: which may sound humble and common- place, but it vibrates through every hope of the future. It is this—the unit of American life is the family and the home. It is the economic unit as well as the moral and spiritual unit. But it is more than this. It is the beginning of self-government. It is the throne of our highest ideals. It is the source of | the spiritual cnergy of our prople. For the perfecting of this unit of national life must #cnd all of our material and scientific ingenuity. TFor thz at- tainment of this end we must lend every energy of the Government. I have before emphasized that the test of our Government is what it does to insure that the home is secure in material benefit and comfort; what it does to keep that home frec from bu- reauc:alic domination; what it does to | open the door of opportunity to every | boy and girl within It; what it docs |in" building moral saleguards and strengthening moral and spiritual in- spiration. From the homes of America must emanate that purity of inspira- tion only as a result of which we can succeed in self-government. 1 speak of this as a basic principle that should gtide our rational life. I speak of it as the living action of government in the building of a nation. I speak of it as the source from which government must itself rise to- higher and higher standards of perfection from year to year. |” I cannot within the limits of time | discuss in detail the policles of our Gov- | ernment or the solution of the multi- | tude of issues that confront us and the attitude of my party and myself toward them. I shail mention shortly these which hava more particular interest to the South. Discusses Tariff. As never before does th> keeping of our economic machine in tune depend upon wise policies in the administrative side of the Government. And from its stability do we assure the hom= against unefaployment and preserve its secusity and comfort. I advocate strenzthening of the pro- tective tariff as Henry Clay of Ken- tucky advocated: not as an abstract economic theory but as a practical and definite policy of protecting the stand- ards of living of the American family. The purpose of the tariff is not to bal- ance the books of business corporations but to safeguard the family budget. With the increasing pressures fom countries of lower standards of living it has become the fundamental safeguard of the American workmen and the American farmer. I wish to see com- plete protection tor the farmer of our home market. It is vital to the South as well as to other parts of the country. Tt would produce a needed further di- versification on Southern agriculture. A retreat ‘to the schedules on farm produce would ruin milllons of our farmers today. Ard likewiss the great manufactur- ing industries of the South are de- pendent upon it. Your vast spinning industry, your iron and steel industries are the product of it. No more bene- ficient exhibit of the result of the pro- tective tariff act passed in 1922 exists than in this very city. Here factories | are in courss of erection and expansion wh establishment within the United States is due solely to that tariff act. Directly and indirectly they will provide an improved livelihood to more than 15,000 homes. -If it were not for that protection these goods would b> im- plnmbor today as the product of foreign ‘We' must continue our endeavor to restore cconomic equality to thoss farm families who have lagged behind In the march of progress. Tells ‘of Farm Relief. In the past seven and a half years Cornigress has passed more than a score of consuructive acts in direct aid of the farmer and the improvement of his mearketing system, ~ They have con- tributed greatly to strengthen the agri- cultural industry. Cur party has under- | taken to go farther than this and to still furiher reorganize farmers’ market- ing systems, placing them on a basis of greater stability and security. I may repeat these proposals. We stand spe- cifically pledged to creatz a Federal Farm Board of men sympathetic with the problem, to be clothed with powers and_resources with which not only to further aid farmers’ co-opsraiives and assist generally in solving the multitude of different farm problems which arise from all quarters of our Nation, but in particular to build up with initial ad- vances of capital from the Government farmer - ovned and farmer - controlled stebilization corporations which will protect the farmer from depressions and the demoralization of Summer and periodic surpluses. ~ Such an instru- mentality should be able to develop as years go on the constructive measures necessary to solve the new farmers' fproblems that will inevitably arise.

It is a to assist the farmer onto his own feet into control of his own destinies. This is not a theoretic formula. It is.a business proposition designed to make farming more profitable. No such far-reaching and specific Eroml has ever been made by a political party on behalf of any industry in our history. It marks our desire for establishment of farm- er's stability and at the same time maintains his independence and indi- viduality. I do not favor any increase in immi- gration. Restriction protects the Ameri- can home -from widespread uriemploy- ment. At the same time we must humanize the laws, but only within the present quotas. Touches Prohibition Briefly. The purpose of the eighteenth amend- ment is to protect the American home. A sacred cbligation is imposed on the President to secure its honest enforce- ment and to eliminate the abuses which have grown up around it; I wish it to |y, succeed. I believe in continued development of good rozds. They bring the tarmer's produce to market more cheaply, and | by them we gain in neighborly contact and uplift of spirit. I advocate the enlarged and vigor- ous development of our inland water- ways because they tend to diversify industry, they cheapen the transpor- tation of farm produce and they bring larger returns to the farm home. 1 rejoice at the enactment of legis- lation authorizing the construction of flood control works of the Mississippi and other rivers for they give protec- tion to thousands of homes and open the opportunity for new homes. We should complete these works with the utmost | energy. Begcaun thres million of our homes obtain their support from manufacture of articles which we import and ex- port, we must continue to promote and defend our foreign trade. ‘We must assure a sound merchant marine to safeguard our overseas trade against foreign discrimination. We must inexorably pursue the present policies of economy in ment, for thi every tax reduction we leave more in every home. Egual Opportunities. To our veterans who gave freely of their all in times of danger we must continue to be not only just but gener- ous in enacting and interpreting the laws for their relief. To our people from violence at home we must revise our court pro- cedure to produce swifter and surer justice, and we should begin with the Federal Government. 1 believe in the merit system of the civil service, and I believe further that appointive offices must be filiéd by those who deserve the confidence and respect the communities they serve.

All legislation, all administrative ac- tion, must stand the supreme test that it rrtmde equal opportunity for all our citizens, not for any grou; I do not favor any general extension of the Federal Government into the op- eration of business in competition with its citizens. It is not the system of Lin- coln or Roosevelt. It is not the Ameri- can system. It not only undermines initiative, but it undermines State and local self-government. It is the de- struction ‘of State rights. Democracy, however, must be master in its own house. It can assure the conservation of our governmentally controlled nat- ural resources in the interest of the people. It has demonstrated that by the power of regulation it can prevent abuse; it can and must’ control natural monopolies in full public interest. It can do so without abdicating the very. principles upon which our Nation, hasi been founded and through which we! have reached a standard of living and! comfort unparalleled in the world.

There are local in-' stances where the Government must enter the business fleld as a by-product of some great major purpose such as improvement in navigation, flood con- trol, scientific research or national de- fense, but they do not vitiate the gen- eral policy to which we should adhere. ‘The President has primarily the great task of administering the biggest busi- ness in the world—the Unitea Statas Government. It is a business involvlng‘ an ex&e‘ndimre of $3,500.000.000 a year | and the employment of hundreds of | thousands of people.

From my experience in government in the years, both in war and peace. 1 have been profoundly impressed | with the fact that we have increasing need to replace dictation by law to the fullest extent possible by co-operation betweea the administrative side of our Governxent and the forces in the com- munity. Scores of activities organized in these years through co-operation with voluntary bodies, both on the eco- nomic and welfare side, have convinced me that far more of the problem of progress can be accomplished by voun tary action, assisted with co-operatio: by the Government, than has been| suppesed. | One test of our economic and soctal | 8 is its capacity to cure its own 2l . .

This perhaps stands out larger in my mind than in most men, because under similar conditions of great emergency I have had the duty to organize popu- lations abroad. And in no country does there exist the intelligence, devotion. the probity, the ability to rise to a great emergency that exists in the Main Street of the American town and village. I do not with to disparage th uscfulness of Broadway. Pennsylva avenue or State street, but it is from Main Street and its countryside that the creative cnergies of the Nation must be replenished and restored. Rejoices in Development. I rejoice with you at the wonderful development in the South not alone be- ause of the benefits which it has rought but because it represents some- thing more fundamental. Many of éur most difficul problems in national Hife have come because of the extraordi- mfl of our. cities.

To me came the “opportunity of service during the long months of greatest disaster which has ever come to our own country out- siC> of war—the Mississippi flood. In that service I ¢ .ae to even more fully appreciate not only the character and devotion of the Southern people but I found proof of a phass of our American life that I _had long believed existed but was difficult of demonstration. with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticiem of American life, the stature and char- acter of our people. More particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.” When t' came to the or- ganization necessary to meet that great catastrophe the pressure of time alone made it neeessary to rely wholly upon the leadership, intelligence, the devo- tion, the sense of integrity and service | of hundreds of towns end villages on the border of the flood. It was they who must undertake the instant work of rescue, the building of gigantic camps, the care of children, the provi- sion .of food, the protection of health of three-quarters of a million of home- less people.

They hold the hope of the final abolition of poverty. They make for better homes. They make for more individuality in life. They open | the door of opportunity to boys and | girls of town and counfry as well as | of the great cities. From these accom- plishments comes the lift of moral-and spiritual life. From them comes an America greater and-higher in-purpose. Ledgemen to Hear Sermon. | Spectal Dispatch to The Star.
