Including many of the leading officials nnd business men of Ohio. While he had not written It out in advance, he had thought It over carefully. His theme was the "Statesmanship of Industry." The president told the business men that It was Impossible to separata thew and life. Ho declared that the two were inseparable.

Some business men, ho declared, sought foreign trade, but many disregarded it. . s.Tlie banking and currency law passed during the present administration was lauded by the president as a great aid to foreign commerce. Until It wus padt-ed there were hardly any foreign branches of American hanks, he said. He criti cised the policy of protection. Buslnn.ia. he declared, should bo efficient, but it whould not be organized In order to secure monopolies.

"I would not entrust the economic progress of the nation to a few trustees," .said the president. , Reserve Force of World. The European war. he declared, had put the United States In a new relation to the world. This nation will have to be the reserve force of the world, he as serted. "It U Imperative, therefore," he con- Inoed, "that no obstacle shall be put In the way of American business. , "Business has been set free by the new banking law," he added. He spoke of the opportunities of dem ocratic America. "I like to think of the boy In the gut ter," he declared, "who will some tiay stand up and speak the voice of Amer ica." Business, the president declared, should stand on Its own feet. American business men should not be afraid to match wits with any in the world, The typical Amer ican should be entirely independent. He added that business men do not need the help of official Washington as much as they think they do. ' "Too many business men," he said, "run down to Washington and. say, "It looks Ilka rain, for God's sake give us shelter."
