political and economic demo
cracy.
1t will take courage to let our
minds be bold and find the ways
to meet the needs of the ma
ton. 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, someone
else will.
Here is one-third of a nation
ilI-nourished, ill-clad, ill-housed-
now!
Here are thousands upon
thousands of farmers wondering
whether next years prices will
meet their mortgage interest
now!
Here are thousands upon thou
sands of men and women labor
ing for long hours in factories
for inadequate pay-now!
Here are thousands upon thou
sands of children who should be
at school, working in mines and
millS-noW!
ave Must Act-NOW"
Here are strikes more far
reaching than we have ever
known, costing millions of dol
larS-noW!
The Washington times., 1937-03-05

we do will not be nullified as
unconstitutional.
During the course of the
past four years the nation has
been overwhelmed by disaster Of
flood and drought.
Modern science knows how
to protect our land and our
people from the recurrence OF
such cataStrophes, and knows
how to produce as by-product
the blessing of cheaper cleo
trio power.
With the Tennessee Valley
Authority we made a begin
ming of that kind of protection
on an intelligent regional basis.
With only two of its nine pro-
iected dams completed there
was no flood damage in the
valley of the Tennessee this
winter.
But how can we confidently
complete that Tennessee Valley
project or extend the idea to
the Ohio and other valleys while
the lowest courts have not
hesitated to paralyze its opera
tions by sweeping injunctionS?
The Ohio River and the dust
bowl are not converSant with
the habits of the interstate COM
merce clause. But we shall
never be safe in our lives, in our
property or in the heritage OF
our soil until we have somehow
made the interstate commerce
clause conversant with the
habits of the Ohio River and
the dust bowl.
In the campaign of 1895, 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. 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 de-
featist lawyers. Let them try
that advice on sweating men
piling sandbags on the levees at
Cairo.
But I defy anyone to read the
opinions in the T. V. A. case, the
Duke power case and the AAA
case and tell us exactly what we
can do as a National Govern
ment in this session of the Con-
gress to control flood and
drought and generate cheap
