The question has not changed its aspects because the times are not normal. Our policy; will not be for an occasion. It will be conceived as a permanent and setled thing, which we will pursue at all seasons without haste and after a fashion perwith - th,e fectly consistent peace of the world, the abiding friendship of states and the unhampered freedom of all with whom we deal. Let there be no misconception. The country has been misinformed. We have' not been negligent of hatural defense. We are, not unmindful of the great responsibility resting upon us. We shall learn and profit by the lesson of every, experience and every new circumstance; and what is needed will be adequately done. Duties of Peace. I close, as I began, by reminding you of the great tasks and duties of peace which challenge our best powers and invite us to build what will last, the tasks to which we caii address- ourselves now and, at all times with freehearted zest and with all the finest gifts of constructive wisdom we possess. To develop our life and our resources; to supply our own peo-- l pie of the world as their need arises, from the abundant plenty of our fields and our marts of trade; to enrich the commerce of our own states and of the world with the products of our mines, our farms, and our factories, with the creations pf our thought and the fruits of our character this is what will hold our attention and our enthusiasm steadily, now and in years to come, as we strive to how in our life as a nation what liberty and the inspirations of an emancipated spirit may do for men and for sofor cieties, for individuals, states and for ihankind.
