The supreme emphasis OF the pres-
dents message is placed as was expected.
on tho relations OF tho government 10

ject are discussed al great length and
with many characteristic expressions OF
sociological and moral convictions. From
the point of view OF those who seek In n
message merely a chronicle OF progress

seems academic and superfluous. Presi-
dent Roosevelt. however. Is not making
merely conventional recommendations. He
evidently feels that he has issues 10 deal
