Areas and Talks With
People There

President Roosevelt took 50-mile
motor swing the latter part of the
week through drought-withered ag-
ricultural lands and then told a
crowd in the North Dakota capital,
What I have seen confirms me in
the belief I've had for long time
that were going to win on this prob
lem"
Attired in an old gray suit, mend
ed at one elbow, the President made
a dusty tour of inspection of several
WPA projects and dropped in at two
farm homes to chat with the overall
clad farmers, their wives and chill
dren, and to discuss problems Great
ed by skinny rainfall.
Before starting he received from
the Great Plains drought committee
lengthy report recommending
plans for making the plain States
permanently habitable" instead of
allowing them to become all ''eco-
nomic desert"
Crowd Applauds
Standing on the rear platform of
his special train after his initial
glimpse first-hand of ravages of the
drought, the President drew burst
of applause when he remarked:
Back in Washington there have
been reports of dependency and a
general atmosphere of gloom out
here, but I had bunch, and found
it right when I got out here, that you
people would have your chins out"
Another cheer welled up when he
concluded: "I'm quite sure you're not
licked yet"
