They realize that In. "a months
we have built up new instruments
OF public power. In the hands OF
. peoples Government this power
is Wholesome and proper. But in
the hands Of political puppets Of
an economic autocracy such power
would provide shackles for the lib
critics Of the people. Give them
their way and they will take the
course Of every autocracy Of the
past-power for themselves, en-
slayement for the public.
Their weapon is the weapon Of
fear. have said-"the only thing
we have to fear Is fear itself" That
is as true today as 1t was in 1888.
But such fear as they distill to-
day Is not a natural fear. a nor
NAL fear; it Is a synthetic. man
ufactured. poisonous fear, that Is
being spread subtly. extensively
and cleverly by the same people
who cried in those other days
save Us, save us. else we perish"
I am confident that the Con-
gress of the United States well
understands the facts and Is ready
to wage unceasing warfare against
those who seek a continuation of
the spirit of fear. The carrying
out of the laws Of the land as
enacted by the Congress requires
protection until final adjudication
by the highest tribunal of the land.
The Congress has the right and
can find the means TO protect its
own prerogatives.
We are justified in our present
confidence. Restoration Of ma
tional income, which shows con-
tinuing gains for the third sue
cessive year. supports the normal
and logical policies under which
agriculture and industry are re-
turning to full activity. Under
these policies we approach a bal
ance Of the national budget. Ma
tional income increases; tax re-
ceipts, based on that income, in
crease without the levying of new
taxes. That is why / am able to
say to this, the second session of
the Seventy-fourth Congress, that
based on existing laws 1t is my
belief that no new taxes, over and
above the present taxes, are ad-
visable or necessary.
Sees Reduction in
Relief Expenditures.
National income increases, en-
ployment increases. Therefore, we
can look forward to a reduction
in the number of those citizens
who are in need. Therefore. also,
We can anticipate a reduction in
our appropriations for relief.
In the light of our substantial
material progress. in the light of
the increasing effectiveness of the
restoration of popular rule. I rec
ommend to the Congress that we
advance; that we do not retreat.

ROOSEVELT MESSAGE
POSTED IN BERLIN

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January 4.-Excerpts from
President Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress we're prominently displayed in
Berlin newspapers today, with en-
phasis on what was interpreted as
1.-The end of dollar diplomacy"
Although officials had made no
public comment, opinions heard in
high circles we're to the effect that
the mutual desire of Germany and
the United States to keep out Of war"
was resulting in similar neutrality
policies.
Roosevelt's references to autocratic
governments were assumed to apply
to Italy and Japan, whose armies are
operating actively.

to its foot Such sentiments. how
ever, will find sympathy and UNDER
standing in those nations where
the people themselves are honestly
desirous of peace, but must con-
stantly align themselves on one side
or the other in the kaleidoscope
iockeying for position character
istic OF European and Asiatic rela-
tions today. For the peace-loving
nations. and there are many Of
them, find that their very identity
depends on their moving and NOV
ing again on the chess board OF
international politics
Nations Willing
to Reduce Arms.
I suggested in the Spring Of 1888
that IS or 90 per cent of all the
people in the world were content
with the territorial limits of their
respective nations and were willing
further to reduce, their armed forces
if every other nation in the world
would agree to do likewise.
That is equally true today, and
it is even more true today that
world peace and world goodwill
are blocked by only 10 or Is per
cent of the worlds population.
That is why efforts to reduce armies
have thus far not only failed, but
have been met by vastly increased
armaments on land ana In the air.
That is why even efforts to continue
the existing limits on naval arn1a-
ments into the years to come show
such little current success.
But the policy of the United
States has been clear and con-
sistent. We have sought with
earnestness in every possible way to
limit world armamentS and to at
tain the peaceful solution of dis
putes among all nations.
We have sought by every legit-
innate means to exert our moral
influence against repression. dis
elimination, intolerance and au-
tocracy and in favor Of freedom Of
expression, equality before the law.
religious tolerance and popular
rule.
In the field of commerce we
have undertaken to encourage a
more reasonable interchange Of the
worlds goods. In the field OF in
ternational finance we have, so
far as we are concerned, put an
end to dollar diplomacy, money
grabbing and speculation for the
benefit of the powerful and rich.
at the expense Of the small and the
poor.
As a consistent part of clear
policy, the United States Is fol-
lowing a twofold neutrality to-
wards any and all nations which
engage in wars not of immediate
concern to the Americas. First,
we decline TO encourage the prose-
cution of war by permitting bellig-
erents to obtain arms, ammuni-
ton or implements of war from
the United States; second, we seek
to discourage the use by belliger-
ent nations Of any and all Amer
ican products calculated to facil-
itate the prosecution Of a war in
quantities over and above our nor
NAL exports to them In time of
peace.
Trusts Neutrality
Policy Be Continued.
I trust that these objectives
thus clearly and unequivocally
stated will be carried forward by
cooperation between this Con-
gress and the President.

primary, definite responsibility for
jeopardizing world peace-what
hope lies? To say the least, there
are grounds for pessimism. 1t is
idle for us or for others to preach
that the masses of the people who
constitute those nations which are
dominated by the twin spirits of
autocracy and aggression are out
Of sympathy with their rulers, that
they are allowed no opportunity to
express themselves, that they
would change things II they could.
That. unfortunately. Is not so
clear. It might be true that the
masses Of the people in those ma
tions would change the policies Of
their governments If they could be
allowed full freedom and full ac-
cess to the processes Of Demo-
cratic government as we UNDER
stand them. But they do not have
that access: lacking it, they fol-
low blindly and fervently the lead
Of those who seek autocratic power.
Nations seeking expansion, seek

seeking outlets for trade. for popu-

that patience necessary to attain
reasonable and legitimate objec-

an appeal to the finer instincts Of
world justice.
They have, therefore, impstiently

Of the sword, or to the fantastic
conception that they. and they
alone, are chosen to fulfil q mis-
sion and that all the others among

USEFUL AUTO TIPS
GIVEN FCR WOMEN
Weak Fuel Pump Can Cause
Lot of Trouble in Start
ing Motor.
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

It's all right to read the road like a
book, if you remember that every high
way is a mystery story.
A weak fuel pump can cause quite
lot of trouble in starting. especially
if the carburetor leaks. Allow the car
buretor to go dry and the chances are
that the engine will not be cranked
fast enough to make weak fuel pump
lift up sufficient gasoline for a start.
The remedy in such a situation is to
remove the air cleaner and pour some
gasoline into the air intake while
some one presses on the starter button
with the ignition switched on. A little
gasoline is enough, because the idea
is not to fill up the float chamber of
the carburetor, but to send some gas
into the engine intake. Just as soon
as the engine fires and spins over
rapidly few times the fuel pump will
fill UP the float chamber automatically
and the engine will restart normally.
It begins to look like race between
the home and the automobile, with
home conveniences having something
of the edge on motor car design. With
the coming of air conditioning, home
heating costs have been cut in half.
while gasoline mileage for the modern
automobile is no better than it has
been for years. Look at the mess on
the garage floor under the automobile
and then compare this with the tidy
flooring of the recreation room of the
modern homes basement.
Only the other day a friend Of mine
was locked out of her new car because
she happened to snap on the lock con-
trolls when getting out. In her new
home it is impossible to be locked out
of any of the bed rooms due to use OF
special knobs, which, through needing
no key, can lock the door from the in
side of the room only.
Most motorists probably figure that
the hot water heater Is nothing they
need worry about during the Summer
months. This belief can lead to lot
of trouble, because of many installa-
tions the heater pipes are where they
can make trouble for the engine.
