COngratuIateS Congress

I congratulate this congress upon
the courage, the earnestness and
the efficiency with which you met
the crisis at the special session. 1t
was your fine understanding of the
national problem that furnished the
example which the country has so
Splendidly followed I venture to
say that the task confronting the
first congress of 1889 was no greater
than your own.
L shall not attempt to set forth
either the many phases of the
crisis which we experienced last
March, nor the many measures
which you and I undertook during
the special session that we might
initiate recovery and reform.
1T is sufficient that I should
speak in broad terms of the results
of our common counsel.
The credit of the government
has been fortified by drastic reduc-
ticn in the cost of its permanent
agencies through the economy act.
With the two-fold purpose Of
strengthening the whole financial
structure and of arriving eventually
at a medium of exchange which
will have over the years less
variable purchasing and debt buying
power for our people than that of
the past. I have used the authority
granted me to purchase all Amer
reproduced gold and silver and
to buy additional gold in the world
ma ~ketS.
Careful investigation and con-
slant study prove that in the matter
of foreign exchange rates, certain
of our sister nations find themselves
so handicapped by internal and
other conditions that they feel I'M
able at this time to enter into
sterilization discussions based on
permanent and worldwide objec-
tiveS.
The overwhelming majority Of
the banks. both national and state,
which reopened last spring, are in
sound condition and have been
brought within the protection of
federal insurance. In the case Of
these banks which were not per-
mi. ted to reopen, nearly 600 million
dollars of frozen deposits are being
restored to the depoSitorS through
the assistance of the national GOV
eminent.

welt let it be known that he was
not yet ready to discuss that prob
lem with congress. On the tariff,
however, he declared he would
project his position in special mes
sage.
1t was indicated clearly that in
the next several months the admin
istration would count strongly on a
close liaiSon between congressional
committees and the President to
map out much of the necessary leg
islation. In many cases, it was
added, the legislation would be
drawn up and submitted without
benefit of message.
Concerning the possibility of a
permanent NRA establishment, it
again was emphasized that the
wording of the message today con-
veyed the full meaning of the Presi-
dent. The White House pointed out
that certain detectives and purposes
of the NRA must be made perma-
nent if it was to succeed.

Such a structure includes
not only the relations of in
dustry and agriculture, and
finance, to each other, but
also the effect which all of
these three have on our indi-
vidual citizens and on the
whole people as a nation.
Now that we are definitely in the
process of recovery, lines have been
rightly drawn between those to
whom this recovery means a return
to the old methOdS-and the num-
Der of these people is small-and
those for whom recovery means
reform Of many old methods, per-
manent readjustment of many of
our ways of thinking and therefore
of many of our social and economic
arrangements.
Civilization can not go back; civ
lliZatiOn must not stand still We
have undertaken new methods. 1t
is our task to perfect, to improve, to
alter when necessary, but in all
cases to go forward. To consolidate
what we are doing, to make our
economic and social structure capa-
BILE of dealing with modern life is
the joint task of the legislative, the
judicial and the executive branches
of the national government.
without regard to party, the
overwhelming majority of our peo-
pie seek a greater opportunity for
humanity to prosper and find hap
piness. They recognize that human
welfare has not increased and does
not increase through mere mate
rialism and luxury, but that it does
.Fn-Cgress through integrity, unset
fiShnesS, responsibility and justice.
In the last few months. as a re-
suit of our action, we have demand
ed of many citizens that they sur
render certain licenses to do as they
pleased in their business relation
ships; but we have asked this in
exchange for the protection which
the state can give against eXplOita-
ton by their fellOw-men or by COM
binatiOnS of their, felloW-men.

CWA TO MODERNIzE

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. 3.-De-
velopment of the Purdue university
airport into modern landing field
will be started Immediately through
the civil works administration, it
was announced here today.
A landing field has been located
on the southwest section of the
campus for several years, but facili-
ties have been meager. According
to the new plans, the airport will be
improved to include landing lights,
proper drainage and establishment
Of regular landing equipment.

Sees National Plan

In this field, through carefully
planned flood control, power devel-
opment and land use policies, in the
Tennessee valley and in other great
watersheds, we are seeking the elm
ination of waste, the removal of
poor lands from agriculture and the
encouragement of small local indus
tries, thus furthering this principle
of better balanced national life.
We recognize the great ultimate
cost of the application of this
rounded policy to every part of the
union. Today we are creating
heavy obligations to start the work
and because of the great unem-
ployment needs of the moment. I
look forward, however, to the time
in the not distant future, when an
nual appropriations, wholly covered
by current revenue. will enable the
work to proceed with a national
plan.
Such a national plan will, in a
generation or two, return many
times the money spent on it; more
important. it will eliminate the use
of inefficient tools, conserve and in
crease natural resources, prevent
waste, and enable millions of our
people to take better advantage of
the opportunities which God has
given our country.
I can not, unfortunately, present
to you a picture of complete opti-
miSm regarding world affairs
The delegation representing the
United States has worked in close
cooperation with the other Amer
lean republics assembled at Monte
video to make that conference an
outstanding success. We have,
hope, made it clear to our neighbors
that We seek with them future
avoidance of territorial expansion
and of interference by one nation in
the internal affairs of another.
Furthermore, all of us are seek
ing the restoration of commerce in
ways which Will preclude the build
ing up of large favorable trade bal
anceS by any one nation at the ex-
pense of trade debts on the part of
other nations.

TRIPLE TARIFF

BIZ HifCd Press a.,
WASHINGTON. Jan. "a bill.
imposing triple tariff duties on all
imports from nations in default
more than 10 per cent on their
debts to the United States was in

Representative Harold Knutson

employment within the field of the
National Industrial Recovery Act.
We seek the definite end Of pre-
venting combinations in furtheranCe
of monopoly and in restraint of
trade, while at the same time we
seek to prevent ruinouS rivalrieS
within industrial groups which III
many cases resemble the gang wars
of the underworld and in which the
real victim in every case is the pub
lie itself.
Under the authority of this con-
gress, we have brought the compo-
nent parts of each industry together
around common table, just as we
have brought problems affecting la
Dor to a common meeting ground
Though the machinery, hurriedly
devised, may need readjustment
from time to time, nevertheless 1
think you will agree with me that
we have created permanent fea-
ture OF our modernized industrial
structure and that it will continue
under the supervision, but not the
arbitrary dictation of government
itself.
You recognized last spring that
the most serious part of the debt
burden affected those who stood in
danger of losing their farms and
their homes. I am glad to tell you
that refinancing in both of these
cases is proceeding with good sue
cess and in all probability within
the f1nncial limits set by the con-
greSs.
But agriculture had suffered
from more than it's debts. Actual
experience with the operation of the
agricultural adjustment act leads to
my belief that thus far the expert
ment of seeking a balance between
production and consumption is sue
ceedlng and has made progress en-
tirely in line with reasonable eX-
pectations toward the restoration
OF farm prices to parity.
/ continue in my conviction that
industrial progress and prosperity
can only be attained by bringing
the purchasing power of that por-
ton of our population which in one
form or another is dependent upon
agriculture up to a level which will
restore a proper balance between
every section of the country and
every form of work.
