About This Book

A commemorative address reflects on the Declaration of Independence and the founders' beliefs, linking those principles to contemporary national and international concerns. It affirms arbitration and major infrastructure projects while warning against militarism and lawlessness and urging efforts to maintain peace. Domestic tensions between labor and capital are examined, acknowledging unions' protective role but cautioning that coercion and concentrated power on either side threaten individual rights and public order. The speaker argues that revolution grew from a general desire for self-government rather than isolated grievances and appeals for patriotic societies to foster civic responsibility.
