POINTS TO AIMS
81 could speak to no people
who better understand the inter.
dependence of modern economic
life.
81 have said that what the
present national Administration
tried to do was to adjust state.
craft to reality-the reality Of
4S States which have agreed to
live together in a machine age.
when this Administration
came to Washington March 4,
1888, the machine Of our ma
tiOnaI economy had completely
broken down. For IL years 1t
had been neglected by those who
believed that machines did not
need tending. We tried to re-
build that machine, to mOdernize
1t and to turn on the purchasing
power.
at was the biggest peace-time
Job ever attempted. 1t called
for energy in q hundred direc.
tons at once, for imagination,
for willingness to face facts.
Because it was q modern
machine it needed money in
circulation to get it going to
keep 1t going. Therefore, we
had to obtain purchasing power
for the farmer, work for the
unemployed, loans to industry,
safety and courage for banks.
How much did we spend?
Enough to get reSultS-enOugh
to be sure not to fail. There
would have been no second
chance If we had failed once.

And in these three and a half
years our venture has sue

prosperity measured in dol
lars is coming back. There are
none among you to deny it.
But there is a higher measure
for prOsperity-the measure Of
permanency-the measure of
security.
ASSURANCE OF SAFETY
1--WE seek not the prosperity
Of 1929 but the kind which
will mean to every American
family an assurance of safety
of the home, safety Of old age,
safety of savings, safety Of en-
plOyment.
"YOu have been told of
RECOMMENDATION. 1 am opposed to
the kind of Recommendation under
which you labOred and suffered
in the days Of the false
prosperity and in the days Of
the great depression.
1--WE believe that people are
even more important than ma
chimes. We believe that the
material resources Of America
should serve the human re
sources Of America.
INTEREST IN WELL-BEING
eve will not again allow
people to be regimented by
selfish minorities into bank
rEptcies and breadIineS.
81 wish that on this visit l
might stay longer. But I know
Rhode Island, its cities, its
farms, its waters and it's valleys.
I carry to you the same message
/ have given in the West and in
the SOuth-yOu are a vital and
necessary part of a united
whole. Your FederaI govern.

your own sake and for the sake
of your sister States"
