NEW PRESIDE THOUC Inauguration Address Str( United States as Countr; struction to Problem Most Vital of Mai Hand Pressi Washington, Alarch '4.-Piesideni Hiardinir in his inaugural addres said: My Countrymen. When one survey the world about him after the grei storm, nothing the marks of destru( tion and ye. rejoicing in the rugge( ness of the things which withstood i if he is an American, he breathe the clarified atmosphere with strange mingling of regret and ne' hope. We have seen World passio spend its fury, but we contemplat our republic unshaken and hold ou civilization secure. Liberty- libert within the law-and civilization ar inseparable, anid though both wer threatened we find themI now securt and there comes to Aniericans th profound assurance that. our repre sentative governint is the highes expression and surest guaranty o both. Standing inl this presence, mindft of the solemnity of this occasion feel ing the emotions which no one ma know until he senses the great weigh of responsibility for himself, I m1u utter my belief in the divine inspirv tion of the founding fathers. Surel there must have been God's inten in the making of this new world rC public. Ours is an organic law whie had but one ambiguity ,and we sm that effaced in a baptism of sacrific and blood, with union maintained, th nation sulpemie and its concord in spiring. We have seen the world rive its hopeful gaze on the great truth on which the founders w~rought. W have seen civil, human and religiou liberty verified and glorified. In th beginning the old world scoffed a our experiment, today our founda tions of political an(d social belie stand unshaken, a precious inheri tance to ourselves ,an inspiring ex ample of freedom and civilization to all mankind. Let us express renewe, and strengthened devotion, in grate ful reverence for the immortal begin ning, and utter our confidence in th supreme fulfillment. Progress Proves Wisdoi The recorded progress of our re public ,materially and s)iritually, in itself proves the wisdom of the inl herited policy of non-involvement i old world affairs. Confident of ou ability to work out vur osvn destin and jealously guarding our right t (10 so, we seek no part in directini the destillies of the old world. We (I not mean to be entangled. We will ac 'e(pt no responsibility except as ou own conscience and judgment in eac instance may determine. Our eyes never will be blind to developing menace, -*ur ears neve deaf to the call of civilization. W recognize the new order in the worh with the closer contacts which pro ress has wrought. We sense the ca of the human he:rt for fellowshit fraternity and cooperat ion. We cravI' friendship) and harhor no hate.

Because we cherish ideals of justice and peace, because we appraise international comity and helpful relationship n 1(ss highly than any people of the world, we aspire to a high place in the moral leadership of civilization > and we hold a maint.ined America, the proven republic, the unshaken temiple~ of representative democracy, to be not only an inspiration and ex ample, but the highest agency of .strengthening goodl wil land pironmot . inr accordl on both continlenits.

While it uncovered our portion of hateful selfishiiess at - home, it also revealed the heart of America as sound and fearless, and beating iin confidence unfailing. Amid it all we have riveted the gazxe of all civilizatioin to the unself ishness and the righteousness of rep) resentative dlemocracy, where onr freedom never has madle offensive wvarfare, neveir has sought territorial aggrandlizement through force, never has turned to the arbitrament of arms until reason had been exhaust edl. When the governments of earth. shall have established a freedom like our own and shall have sanctioned the pursuit of peace as we have prae ticedl it., I believe tihe last sorrow and the final sacrifice of international warf-arte wvil have been written.

Unity of Spirit and Purpose Out of much universal service will come a new unity of spirit and pur pose ,a new coifidence and consecra tion which would make our defense impregnable, our triumph lasured. Then we shoul have little or no lis organization of our economic, i ndus trial and commercial systems at home, no staggering wvar debts, no( swollen fortunes to flout the sacrifices oIf ol' soldiers, no excuse for sedli tion, .io pitiable slackerism, no out rages of treason. Envy and jealousy wVouldl hav'e no soil fo" their menacing developiment and revolution wvould be' without the passion which engendlers it. A regret for the mistakes of yes terdlay must not, however, hind us to the tasks of today. War never left such an aftermath. There has been staggering loss of life, and measure less wastage of materials. Nations are still groping for return to stable ways. D iscouraging indebted ness con fronts us like all the wvar torn na tions, and those obligations must be priov'ided for. No civilization can suir vive repudliation.
