An emotional oration calling for the realisation of the Ident of the American people, but dealing largely with the promotion of peace in the world at large was delivered by President Hoover, after taking the oath of office as the Chief Executive of the United States at Washington yesterday.

After pleading for the nation's support in the enforcement of the prohibition laws, Presi- dent Hoover declared his determination to ap- point a National Commission to investigate, with a view to reform, the entire system of jurisprudence.

He went on to make an eloquent plea for the promotion of the ideal of the brotherhood of man.

"Surely civilisation is old enough and man- kind mature enough so that we ought in our lifetime to find a way to permanent peace,' he said.

ཅ

President Hoover also lightly criticised those "superficial observers who seem to find no destiny for our abounding increase in population, wealth and power except Imperialism." He declared that they did rot realise that the American people are engrossed in building now social systems the negation of Imperialism, and that they are moving towards stronger moral and spiritual life through the arts and sciences,
