yond the daily demand; that in itself
only stirs up future difficulty.
Program Approved.
I am glad to report that such a
program has met with universal APP
proval of all those in responsible
positions. Our railways and utilities
and many of our larger manufac-
turers have shown a most diStin-
guished spirit in undertaking to
maintain and even to expand their
construction and betterment pro-
grams. The State, county and mu-
nicipal governments are responding
in the most gratifying way to the re-
quests to cooperate with the Federal
Government in every prudent ex-
pansion of public works. Much con-
Struction work has been postponed
during the past few months by rea-
son of the shortage of mortgage
money due to the diversion of capi-
tai to speculative purposes, which
should soon be released.
1t is to make this movement syS-
tematic in all branches of the in
duStrial world that we are here
that is the task. I beblieve that
with the great back logs which are
already assured by the public service
institutions and the governmental
works you will be able to build up
the construction and maintenance
activities for 1880 to a higher level
than that of 1929, and that is what
we require.
Another of the great balance
wheels of stability is our foreign
trade. But in stimulating our ex-
ports we should be mainly interested
in development work aboard, such as
roads and utilities, which increase
the standards of living of peoples
and thus the increased demand for
goods from every nation, for we gain
in prosperity by prosperous world,
not by displacing others.
All of these efforts have one end
to assure employment and to remove
the fear of unemployment.
Business Cooperation.
The very fact that you gentlemen
come together for these broad pur-
poses represents an advance in the
Whole conception of the relation
ship OF business to public welfare.
You represent the business of the
United States, undertaking through
your own voluntary action to con-
tribute something very definite to
the advancement of stability and
progress in our economic life. This
is far cry from the arbitrary and
dog-eat-dog attitude of the business
world of some 80 or 40 years ago.
And this is not dictation or interior
ence by the Government with BUSH
ness. 1t IS a request from the Gov
ernment that you cooperate in pru-
oent measures to solve a national
problem. A great responsibility and
a great opportunity rests upon the
business and economic organization
OF the country. The task is one
htted to its fine initiative and cour-
age. ~
Beyond this, great responsibility
Ior stability and prosperity rests
WIN the whole people. I have no
oeslre to preach. I may, however,
mention one good old word-work

had not been elected and that Ware
had received a majority of the votes.
Late yesterday the Senate privileges
and elections committee decided by a
strictly party division, to 4, that Ware
had been elected in 1926.
The committee was unanimous in de-
claring that Wilson had not been
elected. The Democratic minority,
however, will submit a supplementary
report declaring Wilson was not elected,
but that Wares election was void be-
cause of fraud.
The following seven Republicans ap-
proved the report submitted to the
committee by the subcommittee: Short
ridge, California; Watson, Indiana;
Waterman, Colorado; Moses, New
Hampshire; Steiwer, oregon; Glenn,
Illinois, and Hastings, Delaware.
The following four Democrats voted
against the report declaring Ware
elected: Caraway, Arkansas; George,
Georgia; Bratton, New Mexico, and
Connally, Texas.

of the future of the United States,
would cure 1t instantly. The cure for
such storms is action; the cure for
unemployment is to find jobs.
Revenue System Effective.
We have. fortunately, since our
previous crashes established the Fed
eral Reserve System. The first step
in recovering confidence was made
by the powerful effectiveness of that
system, and the strong position of
the banks, the result of which has
been steadily diminishing interest
rates, with smooth and rapid re-
turn to the channels of business of
the money previously absorbed in the
speculative market. This is a re-
versal Of our historic experience and
is a magnificent tribute to the sys-
tenn. Capital is becoming more
abundant in all parts of the country.
the bond market is growing stronger
each Gay and already public issues
held back for months have begun to
appear.
The second action necessary to
maintain progress was the standard
set by leading employers that SO far
as they were concerned there would
be no movement to reduce wages, and
a corresponding assurance from the
Leaders OF labor that not only would
they use their utmost influence to
allay labor conflict, but would also
cooperate with the employers in the
present situation. These assurances
have been given and thereby we not
only assure the consuming power of
the country, but we remove fear from
millions of homes.
The third line of action has been
TO undertake through voluntary or
ganization of industry the continuity
and expansion of the construction
and maintenance work of the coun-
try, so as to take up any slack in
employment which arises in other
directions. The extension and or
ganlzation of this work are the pur-
pose OF this meeting. The greatest
TOOL which our economic system af-
lords for the establishment of stabil-
lty is the construction and mainte-
nance work, the Improvements and
bettermentS, and general cleanup of
plants in preparation for cheaper
production and the increased de-
mand of the future. It has long
been agreed by both business men
and economists that this great field
OF expenditure could, by its accelera-
ton in time of need, be made into a
great balance wheel of stability. It
is agreed that its temporary speeding
up to absorb otherwise idle labor
brings great subsequent benefits and
no liabilities. A very considerable
part of our wage earners are en-
ployed directly and indirectly in con-
Struction and the preparation and
transportation of its materials. In
the inevitable periods when the de-
mand for consumable goods increases
and labor is fully employed, the con-
Struction and maintenance can slack
en- and We actually again gain in sta
bility. No one would advocate the
production of consumable goods be-
