PRESIDENT WILSON'S

ADDRESS.

**MUOR FINE GOLD HAR BEEN CORRODEN>,"

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, APRIL 1ør, 1918.

The inaugural address of Dr. Woodrow Wilson, who was installed as the new Pre- sident of the United States on the 4th inat, contained the following:-

There has been a change of government, It began two years ago, when the House of Representatives became Democratie by a decisive majority. It has now been completed. The Sonate about to assemble The offices of will also be Democratic. President and. Vice-President have been

It means much more than the mere success of a par The success of a party means little excapt when the nation is using that perty for a large and definite paru No one can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Democratic party. It socks to use it to interpret: a change in its own plans and point of view.

Odol penetrates the cavities of the teeth and impregnates the whole mucous membrane of the mouth, and its refresh. ing antiseptic properties are felt at every breath that is drawn, a most useful and agreeable antidote to a stale mouth in the morning.

Earvice, Author of "The Myin Flowery Land," etc.).

things, as we look frankly upon them, willing to comprehend their real charne ter, have come to assume the aspect of things long believed in and familiar, stuff of our own convictions. We have been refreshed by a new insight into our Gan life.

GREAT AND YET EVIL.

We see that in many things that life is very great. It is incomparably great. in its material aspects, in its body of wealth, in the diversity and sweep of its energy, in the industrica which have been conceived and built up by the genius of individual men and the limitless enter- prise of groups of men.

It is great also, very great, in its moral force. Nowhere else in the world have noble men and women exhibited in more striking forms the beauty and the energy of sympathy and helpfulness and counsel in their efforts to rectify wrong, alleviate suffering, and set the weak in the way of strength and hope.

But the evil has come with the good. and inch fine gold has been corroded. With riches has come inexcusable waste, We have squandered a great part of what we might have used, and have not stopped to conserve the exceeding bounty of nature, without which our genius for enterprise would have been worthless and impotent, scorning to be careful, shamefully prodigal as well as admirably efficient.

We have been proud of our industrial nchievements, but we have not hitherto stopped thoughtfully enough to count the human cost, the cost of lives snuffed cut, of energies overtaxed and broken. the fearful physical and spiritual cost to the men and women and children on whom the dead weight and burden of it all has fallen pitilessly the years through.

The great government we loved has too. often been made use of for private and selfish purposes, and those who used it had forgotten the people.

At lust a vision has been vouchsafed us We see the bad of our life as a whole. with the good, the debased and decadent With this with the sound and vital. vison we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purity and humaniso every pro- cess of our common life without wanken- ing or sentimentalising it.

There has been something crude and heartless and unfeeling in our haste to succeed and be great. Our thought has "Let every man look out for him. been. self. let every generation look out for itself," while we reared giant machinery which made it impossible that any but those who stood at the levers of control should have a chance to look out for them- selves.

THE WORK WAITING...

We have come now to the sober second thought. The scales of heedlessness have fallen from our eyes. We have made up our minds to square every process of our national life again with the standards wo so proudly set up at the beginning and have always carried at our hearts. Our work is a work of restoration.

We have itemised with some degree of particularity the things that ought to be altered, nad here are some of the chief items:

A tariff which cuts us from our proper part in the commerce of the world, violates the just principles of taxation, and makes the Government a facile instrument in the hands of pri- vate interests.

A banking and eurrency system based upon the necessity of the Government to soll its bonds fifty years ago and por- fectly adapted to concentrating cash and restricting credita.

An industrial system which, take it on all its sides, financial as well as ad- ministrative, holds capital in leading strings, restricts the liberties and limits the opportunities of labour, and exploits without renewing or conserving the natural resources of the country.

A body of agricultural activities never yet given the eficiency of great business undertakings or served as it should be through the instrumentality of science taken directly to the farm, or afforded the facilities of credit. best suited to its practical needs.

waste undeveloped, Watercourses places reclaimed, forests untended,. fast disappearing without plan or pro pect of renewal, unregarded waste heaps at every mine.

The firm basis of government is justice, not pity. These are matters of Justice. There can be no equality or opportunity, the first essential of instico in the body
