security and material prosperity
and happiness of the entire people
of the United States. In effect, he
promised that the federal govern
ment would bring about a better
life for one-third of the nation now
underprivileged, and that the pro-
gram of planned economy would
be continued. For forty millions
who are not getting their share of
the nations material benefits the
government will provide homes,
food, clothing, education, recreation
and increased incomes.
The Presidents listeners inter
preted some of his phrases as
challenge to the Supreme court, as
when he said:
Nearly all of us recognize that
as intricacies of human relation
ships increase, SO power to govern
them also must increase-power to
stop evil; power to do good The
essential democracy of our nation
and the safety of our people depend
not upon the absence of power but
upon lodging it with those whom
the people can change or continue
at stated intervals through an hon
est and free system of elections.
The constitution Of 1887 did not
make our democracy impotent.
SIN fact, in these last four years,
we have made the exercise of all
power more democratic; for we
have begun to bring private auto
cratic powers into their proper SUBJ

invincible-above and beyond the
processes of democracy-has been
shattered. They have been chal-
