Congress completed action yester-

$4,000 and five years for any one who
makes a worker turn back part of his
regular wages under threat Of being
fired.
Ickes wrote Chairman Summers Of
the House Judiciary Committee that
this was "a very prevalent evil in the
construction industry, which to the
extent that 1t exists on public works
projects, defeats the purpose OF Title
II of the N. 1. A. r. and the success

Text of the Message
Of Recovery First and Reconstruct
ton Afterward.'

private money for sound housing
projects; and the Congress, in q
measure now before you, can stimu-
late the lending of money for the
modernization of existing homes and
the building Of new homes. In pur-
suing this policy we are working to-
ward the ultimate objective of max
ing it possible for American families
to live as Americans should.
Resources Program Needed.
In regard to the second factor, eco
nomic circumstances and the forces
of nature themselves dictate the need
of constant thought as to the means
by which a wise government may
help the necessary readjustment of
the population We cannot fail to
act when hundreds of thousands of
families live where there is no rea-
sonable prospect of living in the
years to come. ~This is especially a
national problem. Unlike most of the
leading nations of the world, we have
so far failed to create a national
policy for the development of our
land and water resources and for
their better use by those people who
cannot make a living In their pres
ent positions Only thus can we per-
manent1y eliminate many millions of
people from the relief rolls on which
their names are now found.
The extent of the usefulness Of our
great natural inheritance of land and
water depends on our mastery of it..
We are now SO organized that science
and invention have given us the
means of more extensive and effective
attacks upon the problems of nature
than ever before. We have learned
to utilize water-power, to reclaim
deserts, to recreate forests and to re-
direct the flow Of population. Until
recently we have proceeded almost at
random, making many mistakes
There are many illustrations of the
necessity for such planning. Some
sections of the Northwest and South
west, which formerly existed as graz
ing land, were spread over with a
falr crop OF grass. On this land the
water table lay a dozen or twenty
feet below the surface, and newly ar
rived settlers put this land under the
plow. Wheat was grown by dry farm
ing methods But in many of these
places today the water table under
the land has dropped to so or 60 feet
below the surface and the top soil
in dry seasons is blown away like
driven snow. Falling rain, in the
absence of grass roots, filters through
the soil, runs off the surface, or is
quickly reabsorbed into the atmos-
phere. Many million acres of such
land must be restored to grass or
trees If we are to prevent a new and
man-made Sahara.
Crops Threatened.
At the other extreme there are re-
gions originally arid which have been
generously irrigated by human en-
gineering. But in some of these
places the hungry soil has not only
absorbed the water necessary to pro-
duce magnificent crops but so much
more water that the water table has
now risen to the point of saturation,
thereby threatening the future crops
upon which many families depend.
Human knowledge is great enough
today to give us assurance OF success
in carrying through the abandonment
of many millions of acres for agri-
| cultural use and the replacing Of
