and social structure of the nation
 The president then compliment ed the overwhelming majority of | the component parts of industry in adhering to the administration g program.
 Concerning the national recov- cry act itself MT Roosevelt ex- plained that it was drawn with the greatest good of the greatest num- Der in mind.
 Its aim was to increase the buying power of wage earners and farmers so that industry. labor and the public might benefit through building up the market for farm and factory goods" Employer, wage earner and consumer groups are all represent edo n its boards with the govern ment: all three groups with tho government must have the inter ests of all the people as their main responsibility.
 Balance Is Sought l What we seek" the president told his audience, "is balance ir | our economic system-balance be- tween agriculture and industry and balance between the wage earner, the employer and the consumer. We seek also balance that our in- .ernal markets be kept rich and large. and that our trade with other nations be increased on both sides of the ledger.
 You and I are now conducting Pick up gal take Urged People q great test to find out how the business leaders in all groups of industry can develop cauacity to operate for the general welfare. Personally I am convinced that with your help the test Is succeed | ing.
 The very conception of MIRA | follows the democratic procedure of our government itself. It's the | ory of self regulation follows the | American method rather than any cf the experiments being tried in other nations. The very fact that you have been in Washington to criticize and to discuss the way NRA is working out is sufficient proof of this point" ., Mir Roosevelt asserted "the critic is patriotic whether he be a busi-
  politician if he says, I cont like the methods you are using to solve the problem: I believe 1t would be | far better if we were to use the | following alternate method.' and .hereupon outlines for the benefit of his neighbor and his govern rnent a helpful proposal" In conclusion the president gave | fIynr %P vvtV I.ao IL nificantly:
 Can't Tolerate Abuses We cannot tolerate abuses of labor, abuses against employers or abuses against the consuming pub | lie, whether they persist either with the aid of codes or despite l their prohibitions.
 This does not mean that we can at once make perfect many hun dred codes covering the major trades and industries of the nation TOT that we can get a mark of per lection in day or month. Tt does mean that we have ar rived at the time for taking stock, for correcting manifest errors, for roofing out demonstrated evils. l "One year ago we were suffering and shrinking under economic pressures so intolerable that col lapse was at hand. We had arrived at the day to make our choice. We made that choice. The American people responded to the call for action with eager enlistment-en- ,istment in the struggle against ruthless. helf-seeking, reckless greed and economic anarchy.
 We undertook by lawful, con- stitutional processes to recrganize a disintegrating system of produc- tion and exchange"
 Must Be Permanent
 The president pointed out meth ods and details of that reorganiza- ton will change from year to year, but the reorganization most be permanent as a guard against the return of social conditions which permitted vast sections of the population to exist in an un-Amer ican way and which also permitted maldistribution of wealth and power.
 The president in conclusion lief, this thought in the minds of his listeners:
 Think back exactly one yea, ago today. You know where the banks stood at that time: yol know where your own business stood. Let us consolidate oul gains and let us resolve that tn. consolidation shall be for the con tinued progress and especially fol the greater happiness and well be ing of the American people,"
