territorial integrity of China. It is
our purpose to assist in finding So
luticns sustaining the full spirit Of
those treaties.
I shall deal at greater length with
our foreign relations in later mes
sage.
THE DOMESTIC SITUATION
Many undertakings have been Or
ganized and forwarded during the
past year to meet the new and chang
ing emergencies which have con-
Stantly confronted us.
Broadly the community has CO.
operated to meet the needs of honest
distress. and to take such emergency
measures as would sustain confidence
in our financial system and would
cushion the violence Of liquidation in
industry and commerce, thus giving
time for orderly readjustment Of
costs, inventories, and credits with
out panic and widespread bank
ruptcy. These measures have served
those purposes and will promote re-
covery.
In these measures we have striven
to mobilize and stimulate private ini-
tiative and local and community re-
sponsibility. There has been the least
possible government entry into the
economic field. and that only in tenn
porary and emergency form. Our
citizens and our local governments
have given magnificent display Of
unity and action, initiative and pa
triotism in solving a multitude Of
difficulties and in cooperating with
the federal government.
Activities Are Reviewed
| For a proper understanding of my
recommendations to the congress il
Is desirable very briefly to review
such activities during the past year
The emergencies of unemployment
have been met by action in many di-
rections. The appropriations for the
continued speeding up of the great
federal construction program have

employment upon a large scale. Bs

The economic depression has con-
tinued and deepened in every part
of the world during the past year.
In many countries political instabil-
ity, excessive ornaments, debts, gov
ernmental expenditures. and taxes
have resulted in revolutions, in un-
balanced budgets and monetary col
lapse and financial panics, in dump
ing Of goods upon world markets. and
in diminished consumption of COM
modities.
Within two years there have been
revolutions or acute social disorders
in 10 countries. embracing more than
half the population of the world. Ten
countries have been unable to meet
their external obligations. In IA
countries, embracing q quarter of the
worlds population. former monetary
standards have been temporarily
abandoned. In q number Of countries
there have been acute financial pan
ics or compulsory restraint upon
banking. These disturbances have
many roots in the dislocations from

Cooperation Necessary
AS our difficulties during the past
year have plainly originated in large
degree from these sources, any effort
to bring about our own recuperation
has dictated the necessity OF coopera-
tion by us with other nations IN rea-
sonable effort to restore world con-
tidence and economic stability.
Cooperation OF our federal reserve
system and our banks with the cen
trail banks IN foreign countries has
contributed to localize and ameliorate
number OF serious financial crises
or moderate the pressures upon US
and thus avert disasters which would
have affected us.
The economic crisis IN Germany
and central Europe last June rose to
the dimensions OF a general panic
: from which 1t was apparent that
without assistance these nations
must collapse. Apprehensions cf
such collapse had demorahzed our

which Is much below the cost of
production, according to d. f..

The low price is due to a surplus
of eggs, but the surplus was not
produced by American hens, but by
Chinese hens. and was shipped to
this country in the form of frozen
and dried eggs.
California poultrymen are asking
the bakers and confectioners. many
of whom have been using imported
eggs, to now use California eggs
and they are further asking the
housewife to check on the products
that they buy and demand pro-
