The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-03-03

ing Roosevelt's inaugural address, George Creel today in Golfers out lines "What Roosevelt Intends To Do," covering the president-elect's -four year plan" for practically ev- cry important department of gov ernmental activity.
 MT Greet, as chairman Of the committee on public information under Woodrow Wilson, worked side by side with Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy Roosevelt throughout the war, and their re- lations both personal and official were necessarily close. MT Creel gave ardent support to Roosevelts presidential candidacy" said Will liam l.. Chenery, editor of Golfers to-day, "and both during the cam paign and since the election has enjoyed an intimate contact. It is out of this association, permitting insight and understanding of the man and the candidate-his hopes, purposes, ideals, mental and emo- tional processes-that he has drawn the conclusions presented in this article"
 Summary of Policies
 MT Creers summary of Roosevelt policies covers the following points:
 GOVERNMENTAL ECONOMY: "One of his first tasks will be to give the United States a real bud get. The democratic platform pledged reduction a 25 percent in federal expenditures, and Roosevelt will keep that pledge though the heavens fall"
 VIE TERRAIN EXPENDITURES: "He is well aware that even the most drastic economies in govern nent will fall far short of meeting the pledge of a 25-per cent reduc- tion: the principal retrenchment must come from the $92S,0O0,000 allotted to the Veterans Admins tration. Some abuses can be cor rected with 8 large resultant sav- ing, but the important retrench- ment must come from the $452,- 100000 now paid in disqualification and disability allowances for ail- ments that have not the slightest connection with military service"
 UNEMPLOYMENT: "He knows, as does every other fhinking man, that unemployment is no longer periodic, but chronic. The machine, of course, is largely responsible, but back of the machine is insane competition that has resulted in a criminality of overproduction. In- dustry must be permitted to con- stitute itself into self-controlling, self-governing organizations. In no other way can production be brought into line with consump- tion, unemployment needs estimat- n1 Uitt of waste of natural resources stopped, and some self-sustaining system of unemployment insurance brought into being.''
 FARM RELIEF: "He will launch drive for the purpose of restoring the buying capacity of the farmer by guaranteeing him 6 price for his products above the cost of production. The method he has in mind is the domestic allot- ment plan"
 BANKING: "He will doubtless favor abolition of the dual system by which the federal government and the several states are in de- structive competition. Trust com panies and savings institutions may remain, under state laws, but all others should and must be under the federal control. Branch bank ing may be urged, but only on a statewide scale."
 RAILROADS: "The railroads can count on being Roosevelt's im- mediate and deep concern, but this concern will not be as tenderly uncritical as that of Coolidge and Hoover. Every railroad is going to be called on to face realities. At present about half the total mile- tonnage is carried on one-tenth the total mileage of line. What more obvious than the necessity for eliminating mileage operated at a loss. Dead wood must go. Prop critics must be cleared of waste and extravaganza.
 WAR DEBTS: "Cancellation is a thing that has no place in his mind. This does not imply Shy loclism. Every nation that owes is entitled to a hearing and will re- cieve the hearing from President Roosevelt. Individually, however. If postponement is proved neces- sary. postponement will be granted. If concessions are deserved, conces- sions will be made. Only with re- spect to interest, however. The principal is sacred. It is not to be doubted that debt negotiations will be handled from the White House."
 POWER ONTROL: "The Roosevelt position is miles removed from that of Hoover and Coolidge. He stands unreservedly for devel- opment under government owner- ship and control of the nations fo,r great power resources-Mus- cle Shoals, St Lawrence, Boulder Dam and Columbia river"
 LABOR: "The shorter work day is likely to be urged. Surely it is better to have everybody on a job for six hours a day, or even five, than having millions supported in unhappy idleness by public funds or charity"
 FOREIGN AFFAIRS: America first will be- the Roosevelt policy, but by no means is this to be construed in terms of isolation"
 PUBLIC WORKS: 'It is fairly certain that a public works pro- gram will be a feature of the Roosevelt administration. He is strongly opposed to the dole, but has stated repeatedly that 1t is a social duty to care for those who
