Emphasizing the strides that can

"Tonight la the eve of a new
administration.' he said. "To-morrow
we ahail have new
management In government. I

it will be different from
what we have endured In more

and hope—ll will be a change
from that wblcb existed a long
time ago under the Grand Old

The speaker, former president of
the Pennsylvania, Bankers' Associa-tion,
continued:
"I mention this, not with the In-tent
of Injecting a political note,
but because It Is essential. In giv-ing;
thought to future developments
