which develops them physically and
which restores their self-respect. They

nnd a better job a job which pays
more money than 81 a day and sus-
tenance, and it will not be much longer
until jobs which will pay more than
that will be available in greater num-
Der than for the last IL years of time
Perhaps, among all the bills we
have passed, first in Importance comes
the economy bill, under which we ex-
pect soon to balance the budget. It
was passed through the House three or
four days after the convening of the
House in extra session. Without this
bill our approaching national solvency
would be impossible, and it is to be
hoped that it will not be destroyed in
part by the Connally amendment.
Farm Bill Far Reaching.
"Of equal importance perhaps is the
farm relief and imitation act. This is
probably in its scope the most far
reaching measure ever passed by any
legislative body in all the Christian CEN
turies. 1t has for its object the resto-
ration of farm prices, and it has al
ready commenced to operate even in
advance of the PRONUNCIATION and en-
forcement of the regulations which are
now being prepared. This bill also car
fied with it the reorganization of our
entire farm loan system so as to elm
mate unnecessary overhead expenses.
to reduce the interest farmers pay and
to provide for necessary moratoriums
1t carried also the imitation act which
In brief authorizes the President to re-
valuate the gold ounce to coin silver
&EDn f@
bonds. He can adopt either one of
these measures, or he can adopt any
two of them, or all of them, as may
seem to him necessary in order to meet
she international economic war which
is being waged now against U.S.
Congress has not abandoned any of
Its functions. We have not created a
dictator. This is still representative
government and it will remain a rep
resentative government throughout the
ages. What Congress has done by its
constructive measures is to build
great economic machine and we have
authorized the President to take con-
troll. We have authorized him to be-
come the engineer in charge of the
operation of the machine, and this is
all. and no more competent engineer
could be found. A strong leadership
comes now from the White House. A
superman Is there, combining all the
1dealism and the initiative of a Wilson
with the energy of a Jackson and the
wide craftsmanship of Jefferson In
addition to all this, his powers of phys
tcal endurance are the marvel of all of
those of us who come in frequent con-
tact with him.
Have Passed Danger Point.
In our movement upward we have
passed now the danger point and if
the support and confidence of the peo-
pie of the United States will continue
and it will-we will soon be on a
direct and a broad road to a perma-
nent recovery. We must not expect
too much in too short time. This is
not an age of mircles We cannot
hurry too much national recovery, but
1t viii come, and it is coming Al
ready the rainbow of hope appears in
the cloudy skies ahead of us and with
q renewed confidence we journey to-
ward 1t, and perhaps in due time, if
We continue our advance and our sup
port OF the policies Of the administra-
ton, we will be able to find the treas
ures which lie at its foot.
Already our delegates are on the
seas proceeding to the London Econom-
&c Conference. 1t has been said that
we never win conference and we
never lose war, but the indications
are that we are going to win this con-
ference. Back here in the United
States while the conference is in prog
resS we have armed the President with
. battery of economic guns which he
can fire If occasion warrants We are
the strongest Nation economically in
the world.
THE hopeful thing for us is that
during the present administration of
Franklin D. Roosevelt in a short pc
r1od of time We have abandoned our
theories as to our own self-sufficiency
We are recognizing now that in order
to be prosperous ourselves the rest of
the world must prosper. From the
Pesident Of the United States comes
the statement with reference to the
London Economic Conference that it
must come to its conclusions quickly.
The world cannot wait deliberations
long drawn out I have just quoted
the Presidents language. In advance
of the conference came the Presidents
message to the heads of the 81 nations
OF the world
Quotes Coolidge.
Recently the late President Coolidge
announced with reference to our in
ternational relations that we must be
independent, detached and disinterest-
ed In the last few days we have ccm-
pletely separated ourselves as Nation
from that theory.
He also said in one of his mes
sages, Our financial favorS are wide
spread and he referred to our hu-
manitarian interests in the rest of the
world. Our financial favors have been
widespread, but they have been dis
Eibuted in a way which has crippled
Us and in way which has not bene-
fted the recipients. We have stopped
talking now about charity
Even after the panic of 1929 under
the administration then in control, we
still insisted that we were self-suffl-
Gent. We still insisted that we had
no need of the rest of the world We
still insisted that we could get out of
our troubles alone. and we proceeded to
build our tariff walls higher than ever
and persuaded ourselves that We were
protected and that We were completely
detached and that was not what we
wanted to be.
I'm his radio address Of four weeks
ago President Roosevelt said, and l
quote his language, The domestic sit
uation is inevitably and deeply tied in
with the conditions in all of the other
nations of the world and he contin-
NED by saying there can be no perma-
nent prosperity in this country unless
We get return to prosperity all over
the world
