WASHINGTON, March 4, 1929 (UP) - Highlights of Herbert Hoover's inauguration speech:
"The most malign of all these dangers, which confront this country today is disregard and disobedience of law."
"There would be little traffic in illegal liquor if only criminal patronized it. We must awake to the fact that this patronage from large numbers of law-abiding citizens is supplying the rewards and stimulating crime."
"Through liberation from widespread poverty we have reached a higher degree of individual freedom than ever before."
"Our whole system of self-government will crumble either if officials elect what laws they will enforce of citizens elect what laws they will support."
"Regulation of private enterprise and not government ownership or operation is the course rightly to be pursued in our relation to business."
"Progress is born of co-operation in the community, not from government restraints."
"We have need further to perfect the means by which government can be adapted to human service."
"The whole world is at peace. Thus the dangers to continuation of this peace today are largely the fear and suspicion which still haunt the world. No suspicion or fear can be rightly directed against our country."
"The animosities of elections should have no place in our government, for government must concern itself alone with the common weal."
