ATLANTA, Ga, May 0.-Reassertion
of initiative on the part of local and
State government and comprehensive
study of the Nations method of admin

an address before the Atlanta Bar

Immediate steps must be taken, he
said, to enable the administration of
justice to keep pace with changing con-

his opinion, must be made more uniform
and there must be a general tightening
of administration methods. But most
important of all, he said, was study
of procedure as affecting the basic needs
of the country's administrative system.
There has been a growing conviction
that the administrative methods have
not been keeping pace with changing
conditions, Mr.. Roosevelt asserted.
