 ''To the congress.
 'T come before you at the opening of the regular session of the 73rd congress, not to make requests for special or detailed items of legislation; I come, rather, to counsel with you. who. like myself, have been selected to carry out a mandate of the whole people, in order that with out partisanship you and I may cooperate to continue the restora- ton of our national well-being and, equally important, to build on the ruins of the past a few structure designed better to meet the prob- lems of modern civilization. A THREEFoLD STRUCTURE
 "such a structure includes not only the relations of industry and agricultureJ and finance, to each other, but also the effect which all of these three have on our in- dividual citizens and on the whole people as at nation.

 "In the past few months, as 8 result of our action, we have demanded of many citizens that they surrender certain licenses to do as they pleased tn their busi- ness relationships; but we have asked this in exchange for the protection which the state can give against exploitation by their fellow men or by combinations of their fellow men.
 1T congratulate this congress upon the courage, the earnest ness and the efficiency with which you meet the crisis at the special session. It was your fine under- standing of the national problem that furnished the example which the country has 50 splendidly fol- lowed. venture to say that the task confronting the first congress of 1789 was no greater than your own. t
 ''I 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 dur ing the special session that we might initiate recovery and re- form.
 "It is sufficient that should speak in broad terms of the re- suits of our common counsel.
 NATIONAL CREDIT
 FORTIFIED
 "The credit of the government has been fortified by drastic re- duction in the cost of its perSna- nent agencies through the econ omy act.
 with the two-fold purpose of strengthening the whole financial structure and of arriving even-
