asks:

can they b0 inscribed in the laws and what

Roosevelt hasn't told this, and his silence
justly gives rise to the fear that he thinks
Of shutting in commerce and industry in

perpetual threats of a vexatious debilh-
tating control. These weigh on the bust

The Temps expresses surprise that

he said:
IF We make progress We must get hold
Of hearts Of the people. We could not
