President Roosevelt Rises to
The Emergency
lMinneanolis Trihunel

President Roosevelt did not wait
long to make good his inaugural
pledge Of bold and vigorous action.
Less than 48 hours after he had as
stunned office, he had issued q call for
9 special session Of congress and had
taken . firm hold on the banking
situation with his proclamation Of .
four-day holiday. The emergency de-.
manded resoluteness and decision and
speed. and to Mr.. Roosevelt,s credit.
that was exactly what he brought to
1t. Had he temporized with the situa.
ton or displayed the slightest he
sttancy In dealing with It, there Is
little doubt that an unreasoning and
paralyzing fear would have gripped
the nation: but now. with one daring
stroke. he has inspired confidence and
set the stage for calm re.ordering
Of the country's troubled finances.
A more timorous president might
have hesitated. in such an emergency
as developed with stunning sudden
ness on Saturday. to clothe himself
with war time authority and emerge,
almost overnight, as virtual dictator
Of the nations currency. A president
more sensitive to criticism might
have hesitated to take drastic step
which he knew would be widely inter-
preted as an abandonment Of the gold
standard. But Mr.. Roosevelt, appar-
emily, saw only that an emergency
existed, that quick and decisive action
was the need Of the hour, and that .
leadership which did not falter in the
crisis could do more than any single
thing. to rid the country Of its doubts
and fears.
We do not know where President
Roosevelt could have devised q better
solution to the problem which con-
fronted him, but considering the
premium that the situation placed on
speed, We feel that he has acted with
courage and intelligence. No newly
inaugurated president In the history
Of the country has ever been called
upon to face such unpleasant and
pressing realities @ Mr.. Roosevelt
faced on Saturday. Virtually every
hank Ia the country had been closed;
the nation was plainly II at ease. and
plainly fearful, even though the CIR
ounstances did not warrant It. Of tho
immediate future. It was such IN
atmosphere. heavy With unwholesome
rumof and speculation. Ia which Mr..
Roosevelt became president. and It y

has suddenly created q spirit Of con-
1sdence and trust.

Roosevelt Heard 20 Times
Within 10 Months;
First Lady, II.

w YHEN the radio curtain rings
| down on 1888, all records for
wv radio appearances by Fed
eral officials, including the
President of the United
States, will have been shattered.
Statistics compiled by the National
BroadcaSting Co. disclose that the
Roosevelt administration Is making
greater use of the microphone in reach
ing the people than any previous ad-
ministration. The President himself has
been heard 20 times in less than 10
months. Mrs. Roosevelt has appeared
II times, establishing a radio record
for First Ladies of the Land. During
her four years at the White House, Mrs.
Hoover spoke only 10 times, while Mrs.
Coolidge made even fewer microphone
appearances.
President Roosevelts cabinet has fol-
lowed in his footsteps in the use OF
radio. All told, lot radio addresses
have been made by cabinet members
over N. B. c. alone, many OF them on
the National Radio Forum, arranged by
The Washington Star. Secretary Of Ag-
riculture Wallace leads the cabinet
group with 21 speeches. Postmaster
General Farley is runner-up with 16:
Secretary of War Dern, Secretary of
Commerce Roper and Secretary of the
Interior IckeS are credited with l3 each.
Vice President Garner has spoken
into the microphone only once. and
that was when he took Office March A.
Chief Justice Hughes has been heard
only twice.
In the Senate, So members have made
a total Of 112 talks, and AZ Representa-
tives have spoken 65 times. Thirty-four
Ambassadors, Ministers and other high
officials of foreign governments spoke
over N. B. C. networks from Washing
ton during the l0-month period.

although there are some who can still

thousand Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska farmers in a protest meeting
yesterday adopted resolutions urging a
halt in direct buying and feeding OF
live stock by packers. and pledging sup
port of the Roosevelt administration in
forcing packers to comply with A. A.A.
regulations and the packers and stock
yards act.

packers was urged to reduce market
costs and bring return of competitive
buying, while cessation Of packers feed
ing live stock was asked ito halt COM

Other resolutions advocated curbing
Of imports in cocoanut oil. hides, canned
beef and other agricultural products

The resolutions will be forwarded to
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
The farmers heard Lieut.. Gov. Nels
Kraschel of Iowa declare that solution
Of the live stock situation which
threatens to engulf the cattle, sheep,
dairy and poultry markets, means
more to Iowa farmers than any other
question now under discussion by the
Iowa Legislature"

having torn asunder the red tape that
has heretofore restricted Government
efficiency" and referred to the packing
industry as the last stand of Eastern

She had left last night, Tenn-Og

inquired sardonically, who led those

Tenn-Og admitted leading the ca

whites were killing the other Klosohees.

1t was the most impassive face he had

Curt inspected the craft. 1t was a

brought three extra paddles, sleeping

two large roasted fish wrapped IN
