New Markets

For many years we have all
known that the executive and
administrative departments are
a higgledy-piggledy patchwork
Of duplicate responsibilities and
overlapping powers. The reor-
ganization Of Government ma
chinery which I proposed to the
Congress last winter does not
conflict with the principle Of the
democratic process, as some PEG
pie say. It only makes that
process work more efficiently.
On my recent trip many peo-
pie have talked to me about the
millions Of men and women and
children who still work at insult
ficient wages and overlong
hours.
American industry has
searched the outside world to
find new marketS-but it can
create on its very doorstep the
biggest and most permanent
market it has ever had. It needs
the reduction of trade barriers
to improve its foreign markets,
but it should not overlook the
chance to reduce the domestic
trade barrier right here-right
away-without waiting for any
treaty. A few more dollars a
week in wages, a better distribu-
ton Of jobs with a shorter
working day will almost over
night make millions Of our low
est-paid workers actual buyers Of
billions of dollars of industrial
and farm products. That in
creased volume of sales ought to
lessen other cost Of production
so much that even a consider
able increase in labor costs can
be- absorbed without imposing
higher prices on the consumer.
The Washington times., 1937-10-13
First-HGnd Knowledge

Anyone charged with propos-
ing or judging national policies
should have first-hand knowl"
edge of the nation as a whole.
That is why again this year
I have taken trips to all parts
of the country. Last spring I
visited the Southwest. This
summer I made several trips IN
the East. Now I am just back
from a trip all the way across
the continent, ana later this
autumn I hope to pay my an
nual visit to the Southeast.
For a President especially it
is a duty to think in national
terms.
He must think not only Of
this year but Of future years
when someone else will be Presi-
dent.
He must look beyond the
average Of the prosperity and
well-being Of the country. for
averages easily cover up danger
spots Of poverty and instability.
He must not let the country
be deceived by a merely tenn
porary prosperity which de-
ponds on wasteful exploitation
Of resources which cannot last.
He must think not only Of
keeping us out Of war today,
but also Of keeping us out Of
war in generations to come.
The Washington times., 1937-10-13

I saw bare ana burned Mill
sides where only a few years
ago great forests were growing.
They are now being planted to
young trees, not only to stop
erosion, but to provide q lun1-
Der supply for the future.
I saw CCC and WPA workers
building check-damS and small
ponds and terraces to raise the
water table and make it possible
for farms and villages to remain
in safety where they now are.
I saw the Harvesting Of the tur-
bulent Missouri, muddy with the
top soil OF many States. And I
saw barges on new channels
carrying produce and freight
athwart the nation.
Let me give you two simple
illustrations Of why Government
projects Of this type have a ma
tional importance for the whole
country.
In the Boise Valley in Idaho
saw a district which had been
recently irrigated to enormous
fertility so that a family can
now make a pretty good living
from 40 acres Of its land. Many
of the families, who are making
good in that valley today, moved
there from a thousand miles
away. They came from the dust
strip that runs through the mid
die Of the nation all the way
from the Canadian border to
Mexico-a strip which includes
large portions Of 10 States.

Mclaughlin Tells
Plan For Plains

CASPER, Wyo.. Oct. 10 GN.S0
Concentration Of the population
of the Great Plains along the
water courses, and return Of the
greater areas of plowed land to
sod and grazing, and not depopu-
Iation of the plains, was advocated
today by w. W. Mclaughlin, CHIEF
of the division Of irrigation Of
the Department Of Agriculture. He
told the National Reclamation
Congress:
"Instead Of trying to turn the
clock back by attempts to re.
store some former system Of
farming and alnd use, coordi-
mated efforts should be made to
devise a new pattern Of land
use, in which water, soil and
human activities are given pro-
per emphasis"

"Thy People go"

Out Of that process, we have
learned to think as q nation.
And out Of that process we
have learned to feel ourselves
a nation. AS never before In
our history, each section Of
America says to every other Sec
ton, "Thy people shall be my
people"
For most Of the country this
has been a good year-better in
dollars and cents than for many
years-far better in the sound
ness Of its prosperity. And every
where I went, I found particular
optimism about the good effect
on business which is expected
from the steady spending by
farmers Of the largest farm in
come in many years.
But we have not yet done all
that must be done to make this
prosperity stable. The people
Of the United States were
checked in their efforts to pre-
vent future piling up Of huge
agricultural SURPRISES and the
tunbling prices which inevitably
follow them. They were checked
in their efforts to secure reason

Job Placements
Here Increase

Increase in employment by pr.
vate industry permitted the Dis
trict Of Columbia Employment
Center to step up its job place
ments 1877 per cent the first nine
months Of this year as compared
with q like period Of 1896, &C
cording to q report issued today
by C. e. Larnson, director.
Beginning in January Of this
year each month showed an in
crease In the number Of private
placements over the correspond.
ing month Of last year. The
years high was reached in June
when positions were found for
2,6O6 applicants. The greatest
gain has been in the placement
of commercial and professional
employees, Director Lamson said.

FOLLOWING Is the complete tert
of President RooSeUelts radio
address to the nation last night:
This afternoon I have issued
a proclamation calling a special
session Of the Congress to con-
vene on Monday, November IS,
1887.
I do this in order to give to
the Congress an opportunity to
consider important legislation
before the regular session in
January, and to enable the Con-
gresS to avoid a lengthy session
next year, extending through
the summer.

The World Outside

AS we plan today for the ere
alton of ever higher standards
of living for the people Of the
United States, we are aware
that our plans may be most
seriously affected by events in
the world outside our borders.
BY a series Of trade agree
ments, we have been attempt
ing to recreate the trade Of the
world which plays so important
a part in our domestic pros
perity: but we know that if the
world outside our borders falls
into the chaos Of war, world
trade will be completely dis
rupted.

Bare HilLsides

Our land use policy is a diff
ferent thing. l have just visited
much of the work that the Ma
tional Government is doing to
stop soil erosion, to save our
forests, to prevent floods, to pro-
duce electric power for more
general use, and to give people
a chance to move from poor land
on to better land by irrigating
thousands of acres that need
only water to provide an oppor-
tunity to make a good living.
The Washington times., 1937-10-13

able minimum wages and maxi
mum hours and the end of child
labor. And because they were
checked, many groups in many
parts of the country still have
less purchasing power and a
lower standard of living than
the nation as a whole can per-
manently allow.
Americans realize these facts.
That is why they ask Govern
ment not to stop governing, sim
ply because prosperity has come
a long way.
They do not look on Govern
ment as an interloper in their
affairs. On the contrary, they
regard it as the most effective
form Of organized self-help.
The Washington times., 1937-10-13

Nor can we view with indiffer-
ence the destruction Of civilized
values throughout the world. We
seek peace, not only for our gen.
Grafton but also for the genera
ton of our children.
We seek for them the contin-
uance of world civilization in
order that their American civili-
cation may continue to be invig-
Grated by the achievements Of
civilized men and women in the
rest of the world.

"FIRESIDE CHAT"
SPURS talk OF
ANOTHER Term
Democrats Eye Plan to
Draft" Roosevelt
By EARL GOODWIN

1Il0 EIG6BACk1b . 40S0AAS SAA0S
last night means to Democratic
politicians that If the Roosevelt
program is not completed before
next election he will be practically
forced into q third term candi-
dacy by an ever7sohdifying aggre-
CATION If New Dealers.
To the Democrats in the field,
so it Is reported today, the fireside
chat meant:
Let's finish the New Deal
program NOW"
ENTHUSIASTIC BACKING
And if this coming special ses-
sion anf its following brief regular
session don't do the trick then the
so-called court house politicians"
through the country are reported
to be rarin' to send enthusiastic
third term Roosevelt delegations
to the next Democratic nominating
convention.
Never has there been a more
completely enthusiastic graSs-root
feeling for President in q second
term than there seems to be for
Roosevelt among his own crowd
at the present moment.
Reason: His Western trip and
last nights fireside chat in which
he calmly reminded the country
Of the things yet to be done to
complete the New Deal program.
MAY DRAFT PRESIDENT
Today's enthusiastic New Deal
comment can be translated like
this:
IF we finish the New Deal
program, Wen let Franklin go
back home; If not-Wen draft
him again"
But almost everyone has appar-
emily forgotten that the Presl-
dents No. 2 pet plan is the So
called REORGANIZATION Of Govern
ment"-so important personally to
tens Of thousands Of Washing
tonians in Government service
here.
The Presidents two closest prof.
ects for this term have been
FIRST, the Supreme Court reform;
second, the reorganization OF the
administrative end Of the Federal
Government.
Few people realize the President
feels that il he can put the Coy
eminent set-up on a twentieth
century, efficiency basis he Will
leave office satisfied he has maze
one of ten greatest contributions
to national welfare.
PRESSURE AVAILABLE
This plan, presented within a
wear after a report on months OF
study by Louis Brownlow, Luther
Gulick and Prof. Charles Merriam
has been kicked about in Con-
eress-but apparently White House
pressure is still available to force
it through. .
The plan is for the addition OF
one or two more departments OF
government, welfare particularly;
re-grouping of duties and func-
lions: putting all independent
commissions under cabinet Of
ficers-for personnel and budget
purposes largely.
washington has been interested
particularly in the move to abolish
the Comptroller Generals job;
and to substitute a single head
for the Civil Service-in place OF
a commission. The President wants
more help at the White House,
including his now famous six
assistants with a passion for
anonymity"

Proposed Florida
Canal Remains
Object OF Fight
Two Representatives and
One Senator VIII Press
for Completion

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. (UP).
Two Florida representatives and
one senator rallied to the defense
of the proposed $l20,0OO,OOO
trans-Florida ship canal last night
after statements attributed to
Senator John Townsend, r., Del,
that the canal might cndanger the
fresh water supply III the region
through which it would pass.
Rep. Joe Hendricks said he in
tended to press fight in congress
for construction of the canal. He
said army engineers had main
tanned repeatedly that the sea-
level canal would not endanger
the water supply. lie said he was
elected on 4 mandate from his
district to fight for the canal and
hiatt he intended to carry it out.
Sen. Claude Pepper and Rep.
K. a. Green also defended the
canal and issued statements eX-
planning their stand.
Senator Pepper said:

called To- an interview given out

fellow members of the senate

ator says. in substance. that re-

than the special board of army

thorough personal examination of
