But it is most regrettably true that in our foreign | relations we have suffered incalcul- | ably from the weak and vacillating course which has been taken with re- | gard to Mexico—a course lamentably { wrong with regard to both our rights and to our duties. We interfered without consistency; and while seek- ing to dictate when we were not con- cerned, we utterly failed to appreciate and discharge our plain duty to our own citizens. At the outset of the administra- tion the high responsibilities of our | diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations were subordinated to a con- | ception of partisan requirements, and we presented to the world a humil- iating spectacle of ineptitude.

It is in this spirit that we demand adequate provision for national defense, and we con- demn the inexcusable neglect that has in this matter of first national importance.

Our severest tests will come after the war is over. We must maké a fair and wise readjustment of the tariff, in accordance with sound protective principle to insure our economic in- dependence and to maintain Ameri- can standards of living. We must conserve the just interests of labor, realizing that in democracy patriotism and national strength must be root- ed in even-handed justice. In pre- venting, as we must, unjust discrim- inations and monopolistic practices, foundations of honest business. Par- ticularly should we seek the expansior of foreign trade. We must not throttlf American enterprise here or abroad, but rather promote it and take pride in honorable achievements. ‘We must take up the serious prob- lems of transportation, of interstate and foreign commerce, in a sensible and candid manner, and provide an enduring basis for prosperity by the intelligent use of the constitutional powers of congress, so as adequate- 1y to protect the public on the one- half, and, on the other, to conserve the essential instrumentalities of progress.

Al ’! .The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette Tuxedo is the favorite tobacco of the majority of critical smokers in this country. It is smoked and publicly endorsed by thousands of famous Americans —lawyers, doc- tors, athletes, statesmen, scientists, singers and business leaders. The “Tuxedo Process” of treating the finest, ripest leaves of selected Burley tobacco has never been successfully imitated. Tuxedo positively cannot “bite”—it soothes the most sensitive throats and tongues—and has a delightful mz/dness, fragrance and flavor that afford complete enjoyment. There is no other tobacco like Tuxedo — as a trial will prove to you. YOU CAN BUY TUXEDO EVERYWHERE 5¢ Convenient, glassine-wrapped, moisture-proof pouch .
