PRESIDENTS SPEECH,
President Roosevelt began by SAYING
the problems Americans have to face
today are very serious but after all
they are only part Of the price they
have to pay for the trumphs thev
have won for the high position they
have attained. He cautioned them
against displaying a foolish optimism
but warned them also To beware of
drifting into blind pessimism in their
view OF the future. In this connection
the president said
EVILS ARISING FROM WEALTH
Undoubtedly the growth of wealth
IN this country has had some very un-
fortunate accompaniments but il seems
to me that much the worst damage that
people Of wealth can do the rest of US Is
not any actual physical harm, but the
awakening In our breasts Of either the
mean vice OF worshipiug mere wealth
and the man Of mere wealth, for the
wealth's sake or the equally mean vice
OF viewing with rancufDus envy ana
hatred the men Of wealth merely be-
cause they are men Of wealth"
In referring TO the question Of gov
eminent supervision Of the great cor
poratlons, the president characterized
them as the most efficient business
implements and further said:
CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE.
THE corporation is the creature OF

countable ~ some sovereign, and this
accountability should be real and not
sham, Therefore in my judgment. an

ness and this means the great majority
of the largest corporations should be
held accountable TO the federal govern
ment because their accountability
should be co-eXtensive with their field
OF action, But most certainly We should
not strike to prevent or limit corporate
activity, We should strive 90 secure

power OF regulation over Il, az TO enable
