The Grange belongs to the class of people whom I like to call builders in America.
It does not matter whether the issue is our commitment in Vietnam, or a tax increase to head off the costly tax of inflation, or import quot...
This has been the history of the Grange through all of its hundred years of responsible citizenship of constructive, affirmative leadership.
Another thing that we have in common is a concern about farm income, and my concern about that is perhaps even greater than yours.
Having accepted this responsibility, how well have we done in meeting it?
This country owes a lot to the farmer.
I shall be counting upon your strong support to see that these attacks do not prevail.
With your help and with your support, I believe we can succeed.
You have provided the largest, single contribution to world trade of any single segment of our economy.
I am pleased and honored to be privileged to take part in your centennial convention.
I think we had better do that a little later.
