Reason for Market. All of this market has been made possible because we in the West have pushed on in our determination that at least to the extent of our reclama- tion and irrigation work we would make proper use and development, of | the natural resources with which we | were endowed. There is another reason why the people of the East should be interested | in the development of these projects; | that is the fact that on the projects | themselves a very large percentage of | the money at once returns to the East for the purchase of materials and | We are building in the State 2ton a great dam at the| ulee, which will develop | power which can be sold to | ply.

It this Nation is to keep faith with civilization, its Government must fulfill that obliga- tion in order that these resources may be handed down from one generation to another not merely undiminished, but strengthened and preserved. Remembering the quotation from | the National Resources Board, which | I read at the outset, and reallzing that our very institution of Govern- | ment itself depends for its existence | and permanence upon the fulfillment of this obligation, there comes to my mind the concluding words of Story in his commentaries, which I quote: “The future is that which may well awaken the most earnest solicitude, | both for the virtue and the perma- nence of our Republic. The fate of other republics—their rise, their prog- | ress, their decline and their fall—are | written but too legibly on the pages | of history, if indeed they were not continually before us in the startling | fragments of their ruins. They have perished, and perished by their own hands. Prosperity has enervated | them, corruption has debased them and a venal populace has consum- are the melancholy lessons of the | past history of republics down to our | own.” | We have paused today to pay grate- ful tribute to the Nation's military heroes. May I ask you to remember | that no military force has ever| wreaked more destructive or devastat- | ing ruin than that which may be! turned upon a people and a country by nature when its wrath has been in- | voked by the wasteful and profligate | —Star Staff Photo. r on's who com. | factured automobiles which were pur- | e of the me by ex- | chased with the wages received by | it should real that | employes on the project.
