Introducing Governor munity of the Norwich Rotary club. its courtesy in releasing the governor ‘tg the Chamber of Commerce for this bane quet, when the governor had previotsly, been engaged to appear before the Rot: rians. Toastmaster Brown referred to Governor Lake as a native of Woodstock and a one-time resident of this city on Laurel Hill at the age of 4, and said that- the governor had now come into his own at a time when he was fitted by experi- ence for the position he holds in the state. Rising to his feet amid thunders of applause, Governor Lake held aloft a glass of water with the words “Mr. Toastmaster and fellow camels,” which provoked another outburst of applause. He referred humorously to the timé Wwhen he and Charlie Woodaruit thought they were running for governor 10 yearw ago, but were only pushing a democrat into, office. The epirit that America should have today should be the &pirit that was shown by those boys that I saw at Brest, one of whom carried a flag with the words on It: We've paid our debt to Lafayette. Who the hell else do we owe? We are living in the best times the world has ever known, times that will be bright marks in American history.

But liberty is continued with | HON. GUY A. HAM the good things.of opportunity unless we face the responsibility. The great spec- tacular periods have always been those that followed struggle. Speaking of his attitude towards the 18th amendment, Governor Lake said that he did not belleve the policink la: hould be put into amendments to the Constitu- tion, but as long as this had now been put into that document, we have got to obey and enforce and-revere it. He thanked Mayor Lerou for Norwich being one of the bright spots in the state that is ‘trying to live up to the Constitution on this point better than most any other. Liberty has been given its great birth in our day. Our country has proved self, but we do not yet know what has been the justification for our sacrifice. One of the lessons that has come out of that has been the realization of law and order. Perhaps the lesson of the Boston natine cirita been just as valuable as the battle of Lexington. We nuve received a new idea of philan- thropy in the past four years. If we formerly gave something once in two years we used to pat ourselves in the back, but now if they don't come around once a week with a drive we feel as if we had been abused.

We must consider both adverse and favorable in- fluences In amiving at our verdict. There ate many circumstances that in- evitably delay a speedy recovery, and of which we must of necessity take account. nl the first place, there is the desolation occasioned by the world war.

As opposed fo the adverse conditions above outlined. there are favorable cir- cumstances which point unmistakably to a gradual improvement of business in America. and offset to. a certain degree the unusual Tonditions confronting us to- day. For the first time in the history of eur country, we are a creditor nation.

It is sufficiently elastic likewise to care for legitimate husiness demands, and create additional facilities to further interests. not alone in the ~United States, but throughout the world. One further element we should con- sider in reviewing the present conditions, is the faet that depression through which we have been passing, has been occasi-n- ' #d by under-demand rather than over. production—an exact reverse of condi- tions that have been prevalent ' during other periods of depreseion.
