Great Appetites

Fondness for pickles seems to
have been a characteristic of famous
personages as well as of ordinary
mortals. Both ancient peoples were
especially fond of pickles, and his
tOrical records from antiquity down
to modern times tell US that Cleo
patra, Tiberius, Julius Caesar, Napo-
leon, and our own Washington and
Jefferson were among the world
celebrities who liked the familiar
appetizers that we moderns know so
well.
The cucumber, most popular form
of pickle, is one Of mankind's old
est foods, and was first cultivated
in northern India 5000 years before
Christ.

Other Legislation

I have placed various legislative
needs before the congress in pre-
vious messages, and these views re-
quire no implication on this occa-
sion.
l have urged the need for reform
IN our transportation and power
regulation, in the antitrust laws
as applied to our national resource
industries, western range conserya-
ton, extension of federal aid to
child-health services. membership
in the world court, the ratification
of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
seaway treaty, revision of the bank
ruptcy acts, revision of federal court
procedure, and many other press
ing problems.
These and other special subjects.
l shall where necessary deal with
by special communications to the
congress.
The activities of our government
are so great, when combined with
the emergency activities which have
arisen out of the world crisis. that
even the briefest review of them
would render the annual message
unduly long. therefore shall avail
myself of the fact that every detail
Of the government is covered in the
reports to the congress by each of
the departments and agencies of
the government.

Conclusion

1t seems to me appropriate upon
this occasion to make certain gen
eral observations upon the princi-
Piles which must dominate the So
luton Of problems now pressing
upon the nation.
Legislation in response to ma
tional needs will be effective, only
if every such act conforms to q
complete philosophy of the peoples
purposes and destiny.
Ours is a distinctive government
with a unique history and back
ground, consciously dedicated to
specific ideals OF liberty and to a
faith in the inviolable sanctity of
the individual human spirit.
Furthermore, the continued exist
ence and adequate functioning of
our government in preservation OF
ordered liberty and stimulation OF
progress depends upon the mainte-
nance Of state, local, institutional
and individual sense Of RESPONSE
bility.
We have builded system OF in

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Wheat opened

Rye was easy and barley reacted

something of a surprise.
Trade is rather slow in corn. The

have resources and credit, but I'M
less they have confidence progress is
hating and insecure.
Need Increased Prices
There are three definite directions
in which action by the government
at once can contribute to strengthen
further the forces of recovery by
strengthening of confidence. They
are the necessary foundations to any
other action, and their accomplish
ment would at once promote en-
ployment and increase prices.
The first of these directions of
action is the continuing reduction
of all government expenditures,
whether national, state or local
The difficulties of the country de-
mand undiminished efforts toward
economy in government in every
direction. Embraced in this prob
lem is the unquestioned balancing
OF the federal budget. That is the
first necessity of national stability
and is the foundation of further re-
coVery. 1t must be balanced in an
absolutely safe and sure manner if
full confidence is to be inspired.
The second direction for action
is the complete reorganization at
once of our banking system. The
shocks to our economic life have
undoubtedly been multiplied by the
weakness Of this system, and until
they are remedied recovery will be
greatly hampered.
Cooperate With World
The third direction for immediate
action is vigorous and Mhole-souled
cooperation with other govern
menUs in the economic fielu. That
our major difficulties find their
origins in the economic weakness of
foreign nations requires no demon
Stration.
,Tne tlrst need today is strength
ching OF commodity prices. That
can not be permanently accom-
pllShed by artlticialities. 1T must be
accomplished by expansion in con-
SUMPTION of goods through the re-
turn of stability and confidence in
the world at large, and that, in
turn, can not be fully accomplished
without cooperation with other ma
lions.
