for the homes and on the farms Of
America. You and I owe it to our
selves individually, as party and
as a Nation to remove those doubts
and difficulties.
In this fight, as the lawyers
themselves say. time is Of the es-
sence. In three elections during
the past five years great matorities
have approved what we are trying
to do To me, and am sure to
you, those majorities mean that
the people themselves realize the
increasing urgency that we meet
their needs now. Every delay Gre
ates risks of intervening events
which make more and more diff
cult an intelligent, speedy and
democratic solution Of our diff
cultieS.
As Chief Executive and as the
head of the Democratic party,
am unwilling to take those risks
to the country and to the party
of postponing one moment beyond
absolute necessity the time when
we can free from legal doubts those
policies which offer a progressive
solution of our problems.
Floods and droughts and agri-
cultural surpluses, strikes and in

have another ambition-not so
great an ambition as that which I
have for the country, but an ambi-
ton which, as lifelong Democrat,
I do not believe unworthy. It is an
ambition for the Democratic party.
Required Courage to
Find Ways to Meet Needs.
The party, and its associates, have
had the imagination to perceive es-
sential unity below the surface Of
apparent diversity. We can, there
fore, long remain q natural rallying
point for the cooperative effort Of
all of those who truly believe in
political and economic Democracy.
It will take courage to let our
minds be bold and find the ways to
meet the needs of the Nation. But
for our party. now as always, the
counsel of courage is the counsel
of wisdom.
If we do not have the courage to
lead the American people where
they want to go. some one else will

ployed For all these things we
have only just begun to fight"
And here again we cannot af-
ford, either individually or as a
party, to postpone or run from that
fight on advice of defeatist lawyers.
Defies Any one to Find
Course Escaping Notification.
But I defy any one to read the
opinions concerning A. A. A., the
railroad retirement act. the ma
tional recovery act, the Guffey coal
act and the New York minimum
wage law, and tell us exactly what,
If anything, we can do for the in
dustrial worker in this session Of
the Congress with any reasonable
certainty that what we do will not
be nullified as unconstitutional.
During the course Of the last four
years the Nation has been over
whelmed by disasters of flood and
drought.
Modern science knows how TO
protect our land and our people
from the recurrence Of such catas-
trophies, and knows how to produce
as a by-product the blessing of
cheaper electric power. With the
Tennessee Valley Authority we
made a beginning of that kind of
protection on an intelligent region
al basis. With only two of its nine
projected dams completed there
was no flood damage in the valley
of the Tennessee this Winter.
But how can we confidently COM
plete that Tennessee Valley
project or extend the idea to the
Ohio and other valleys while the
lowest courts have not hesitated
to paralyze its operations by sweep
ing injunctions?
The Ohio River and the dust
bowl are not conversant with the
habits of the interstate commerce
clause. But we shall never be safe
in our lives, in our property or in
have somehow made the inter-
state commerce clause conversant
with the habits Of the Ohio River
and the dust bowl.
In the campaign of 1896. you
and I and all who supported us did
take cognizance Of the Ohio River
and the dust bowl. We said: "Of
course, we will continue our efforts
80 for drought and flood control
""'. For these things we have
only just begun to fight"
Here. too, we cannot afford,
either individually or as a party,
to postpone or run away from that
fight on advice Of defeatist lawyers.
Let them try that advice on sweat
ing men piling sandbags on the
levees at Cairo.
But I defy any one to read the
opinions in the T. v. A. case, the
Duke power case and the A. A. A.
case and tell us exactly what we
can do as a National Government
in this session of the Congress to
control flood and drought and gen.
crate cheap power with any rea-
sonable certainty that what we do
will not be nullified as unconstitu-
tional.
Doubts Of Future Progress
Must Be Removed to Garry On.
The language Of the decisions
already rendered and the wide

by the attitue Of the courts create
doubts and difficulties for almost
everything else for which we have
promised to fight-help for the
crippled. for the blind, for the

operation We will do all in our
power to end the piling up Of huge
surpluses which spelled ruinous
prices for their crops. We will per-
sist in successful action for better
land use, for reforestation for
better marketing facilities for farm
commodities, for definite reduc-
ton of farm tenancy, for encour-
agement of farmer co-operatives,
for crop insurance and stable food
supply. For all these things we
have only Just begun to fight"
Neither individually nor as
party can we postpone and run
from that fight on advice Of de-
featist lawyers. But defy any one
to read the majority opinion in
validating the A. A. A. and tell us
what we can do for agriculture in
this session of the Congress with
any reasonable certainty tina: what
We do will not be nullified as un-
constitutional.
The farmers were not the only
people in distress in 1892 There
were millions of workers in industry
and in commerce who had lost their
jobs, young people who had never
been able to find their first job,
and more millions whose jobs did
not return them and their families
enough to live on decently.
The Democratic administration
and the Congress made a gallant,
sincere effort to raise wages, to re-
duce hours, to abolish child labor,
to eliminate unfair trade practices.
We tried to establish machinery
to adjust the relations between the
employer and employe
And what happened?
You know who assumed the
power to veto, and did veto that
program.
The railroad retirement act. the
national recovery act and the Guf-
fey coal act were successfully out
lawed as the child labor statute
had been outlawed 20 years before.
Problems Robbed of Legal
Power in No Mans Land.
Soon thereafter the Nation was
told by a judicial pronunciamento
that although the Federal Govern
ment had thus been rendered pow
erless to touch the problem of
hours and wages, the States were
equally helpless; and that it pleased
the personal economic predilec-
tions" Of a majority of the court
that we live in Nation where
there is no legal power anywhere
to deal with its most difficult prob
lems-a no mans land of final fu-
tility.
Furthermore. court injunctions
have paralyzed the machinery
which we created by the national
labor relations act to settle great
disputes raging in the industrial
field. and, indeed, to prevent them
from ever arising. We hope that
this act may yet escape final con-

But so far the attitude and Ian
guage of the courts in relation to
many other laws have made the
legality Of this act also uncertain,
and have encouraged corporations
to defy rather than obey 1t.

I promised this to working men
and women:
''Of course, we will continue to
seek to improve working conditions
for the workers Of America-to re-

wages that spell starvation, to end
the labor of children, to wipe out

BREAD-AND-BUTTER LETTER
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il am planning to visit friend
whom I have only met twice. What
would be the correct thing to say
when leaving? expect to stay a
couple of days with them. When
return should 1 send letter OF
thanks?" "READER."
When we leave after a visit we
thank the hostess for the happy
time that we have had, thank her
for her hospitality, thank her for
inviting us. For instance, "Goodby
Mrs. Graham. Thank you for your
goodness to me. I've had such a
grand time being with you and
your family. You were so kind to
ask me-"
If the host is present when you
leave, you of course thank him too
1or your happy time and Tor MS
hospitality. Make your words
work. when you do this important
thanking hospitality is a pre-
ciouS thing, and our expression of
thanks for it shouldn't be casual.
Yes. this bread-and-butter letter
is most important, even for short
visit. And it is especially important
when a person whom we do not
know very we'll as in your case, eX-
tends hospitality to us.
Your letter of thanks-for-the-
visit should be sent to the hostess
of the home, and in it, besides
thanking her, you mention the
kindness of the other members of
the family, beginning with the

JUST A NOVELTY!
Dear Miss Fairfax:

NNoI 4fAASo
THE only objection / have to-
ward this girl, with whom have
been going for over year, is that
she smokes and drinks more than
a girl of her age should. When
l tried to kiss her the other night,
when we parked, she flatly re-
fused.
"At first l thought she was just
teasing me, but she made it plain
she was in dead earnest and said:
L think this necking and kissing
are so common; they're just a
novelty you fellows insist on
INA urally 1 felt hurt. On the
way home she said she was sorry,
but she had been brought up not
to trust fellows. didn't consider
this much of a compliment. It
looked to me as if she might not
trust herself, and / still think her
constant drinking and smoking
give her a more common appear
ance than if she had kissed an old
friend. PUZZLED.
Well, my dear. think kissing
is a pretty old novelty" and it
seems to me that you both mis-
understand each other. She
thinks it's common to kiss, and
you think it's common to smoke
and drink. According to the YER
dict of a past generation, you're
both right. If you're in earnest,
you may persuade her to give up
her incessant smoking and drink
ing, and she may reward you with
a kiss.

a little difficult to pick out
all the color news. but a few
things are outStanding-and
those we will repeat to YOU.
Beige is excellent, and YOU can
wear it with amber yellow ac-

or contrasted much with dar-
ing coIorS, but is used more
for its own beauty. 1t S most
popular in rather soft clothes
for afternoon. Hyacinth blue
seems to be grand, too, both
with navy and with pink.
Navy suits take hyacinth trim
mings and accessories, but
hyacinth suits take a pink
blouse. Of course, navy is of
first Importance, and every
wardrobe must have a navy
dress with a touch of white.
You can use almost any color
for contrast with navy, but if
you re wearing a suit, do try
carntlian. which is already
being shown in Washington.

We should definitely lean to the
side of not making introductions
when the meeting is so casual as
this. Such introductions usually
seem unnecessary, and usually
seem forced and pointless.
But, on the other hand, I realize
that many people feel hurt" or
disregarded when a friend with
them meets another friend and
doesn't make an introduction.
It's ridiculous point of view to
take, but it is true, nevertheless,
and there is always a quandary
as to whether or not the friend
with whom we are has this point
of view. But usually if we make
out greeting to the other person
brief, this introduction needn't
be made.
In Europe, where they take in
Productions far more Importantly
than we do, IN introduction made
in a casual meeting of this kind
is considered distinctly i'll bred,
and one doesn't expect such an
introduction. Indeed it is taken
for granted that it won't be made
