urges Appropriations
That adequate funds be provided
by appropriations for this purpose
and provided as promptly as possible,
is one of the means Of greatly ameli-
Grating the present distressing con
ditions of living that I have come to
urge in this attempt to concert with
you the best ways to serve the
country in this emergency. It ia
one of the absolutely necessary
means, underlying many others. and
can be supplied at once.
There are many other ways. Ex-
listing law Is inadequate. There are
many perfectly legitimate methods
by which the government can exer-
else restraint and guidance.
Extend Food Control Act
Let me urge. in the first place,
that the present food control act
should be extended both as to the
period Of time during which it shall
remain in operation and as to the
commodities to which it shall apply.
It's provisions against boarding
should be made to apply not only to
food but also to feedstuffs, to fuel.
to clothing. and to many other COM
modities which are indisputably
necessary. As 1t now stands, II Il
limited in operation to the period Of
war. and becomes imperative upon
the formal proclamation of peace.
But should judge that it was clearly
within the constitutional power of
the Congress to make similar per-
manent provisions and regulations
with regard to all goods destined for
interstate commerce and to exclude
them from interstate shipment II the
requirements Of the law are not
complied with. Some such regula-
ton is imperatively necessary. The
abuses that have grown up In the
manipulation Of prices by the with.
holding Of foodstuffs and other neo.

I'VE can not hastily and over
night revoiutionize all the processes
OF our economic life. We shall not
attempt to do 80. These are days Of
deep excitement and of extravasant
speech: but with us these things are
on the surface. Everyone who il in
zeal touch with the silent masses Of
our people knows that the old strong
fibre and steady self control are still
there. Arm against violence or any
distempered action that would throw
their affairs into confusion. am

But what We can do we should do
and should do at once. And there is
a great deal that we can do, provi-
sional thought may be. Wheat ship
ments and credits to facilitate the
purchase Of our wheat can and will
be limited and controlled in such a
way as not to raise but rather lower
the price Of -four here. The govern
ment has the power. within certain
limits. to regulate that. We cannot
refuse to send wheat to foreign peo-
pies who are in dire need of II. and
we do not wish to do so: but. for
tunately. though the wheat is not
what we hoped 1t would be. IL is

care. The price of wheat Is lower in
