SPEECH MONDAY
To ASK HELP
Of PUBLIC
Nationwide Appeal Scheduled
In Drive for Cooperation
For Revival Program

President Roosevelt saw the
foundation work of his great ma.
tlonal recovery program nearing
completion today and set to work
on a speech in which he will call
on the American people for
whole-hearted cooperate on in
carrying it out.
The President will go on the
air over nationwide radio
hookup at $50 p. m. eastern
standard time, Monday night.
His speech will be designed to
give powerful initial impulse to
what he announced in his in
augural address would be drive
against depression prominently
military in its characteristics.
Planned for Some Time
Monday nights speech has been
planned by the President for
some time. He sought the psy-
Geological moment to deliver it,
as smashing spearhead for the
drive to prosperity.
A quiet trip down the Potomac
In the yacht Sequoia was ex-
pected to provide the President
with the opportunity to put the
finishing touches to his 30-minute
speech. The press of routine
duty here may prevent the trip
at the last moment, but barring
unforeseen circumstances the EX
ecutive hopes to leave for the
river trip late this afternoon and
jeturn tomorrow.
The President probably will
touch on the recent violent fluc-
tuations in the stock market and
on commodity exchanges, but he
does not feel that they have i'm
perilled the nations economic
stability. He is pursuing a policy
of watchful waiting with regard
to the stock market, and does not
at this time intend to interfere.
Supports Sec. Wallace
The policy of "pitiless pub
licity" which Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace adopted with re-
gard to commodity exchanges
has the Presidents fullest SYM
pathy. The President feels this
policy will be effective, too.
Progress thus far made by re-
covery Administrator johnson and
Public Works Administrator and
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
on the recovery program has
pleased the President greatly. He
feels that industry has fallen in
line with the program, and is
confident that from now on the
march to better times will pick
up speed.
In this connection the Presi.
dent feels the blanket code for
all industries will provide a much
needed stimulus to business during
the next month.
