The premier's declaration recalled

ship. In return Hitler was promised

"What he really needs is less pow

ton that will force him to take the
advice and counsel of other men of
both parties-men whose hearts also
are in the right place, but men who
have had more experience and who
know more about the practical ap-
plication of government than he
does"
1t is up to the Republicans, he
said, to curb Mr.. Roosevelt in his
demands. He also discussed the
war talk prevalent after the Presi-
dents Chicago speech and said:
'We are faced with a situation
where he may make mistake that
would indeed be tragic, that might
lead to war. Close observers have
increasing doubt if he thought his
recent declaration through to its
logical conclusion"
In conclusion Mr.. Landon said:
"We have had a New Deal. Now
what we most need in America is a
new yardstick-a yardstick to meas
ure the ability and the accomplish

r. D. R. on Farm Bill

RESIDENT ROOSEVELT, re-
turning to his Hyde Park home,
was giving especial attention to the
farm legislation which he wishes
passed by congress in the extraordi-
nary session. He sent duplicate let
tiers to Chairman Ellison D. Smith
of the senate agriculture committee
and Chairman Marvin Jones of the
house committee urging them to
speed up the legislation, but warn
ing that it must be kept within
budgetary limits unless congress
was prepared to impose new taxes.
"The new national farm act
should safeguard farmers income
as we'll as their soil fertility" the
President wrote. sit should pro-
vide for storage of reserve food sup
plies in an ever normal granary,
so that if severe and widespread
drouth recurs consumers will be as
sured of more adequate supplies
with less drastic increases in price
than otherwise would be the case.
''It should provide for control of
surpluses when and if necessary
but at the same time it should pre-
serve the export markets that still
are open to our farmers.
''It should protect both farmers
and consumers against extreme ups
and downs in prices of farm prod
ucts. 1t should be financed by sound
fiscal methods. Local administra-
ton should be kept in the farmers
hands,"
Urging sound fiscal relations, Mr..
Roosevelt said that it is important
not to interfere with the expected
balancing of the budget in the fiscal
year 1938-'39.
Experts in Washington figure the
new farm program may cost as
much as $1,000, O0o,0 900 in the first
year.

Credit System Praised

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, speak
ing at the opening of the new
Federal Reserve building in WASH
ington, gave full praise to the fed
eral reserve system as most i'm.
portant part of the governments
plans for economic stability and Sc
curity. He said disastrous depres-
sions and booms could be avoided
only by the development of the
credit and monetary machinery OF
the nation.
That machinery, he continued,
"must be steadily perfected and CO.
ordinated with all other instruments
| of government to promote the most
productive utilization of our human
and material resources. Only in
that way can we hope to achieve
and maintain an enduring prosper
| ity, free from the disastrous ex-
tremes of booms and depressions.
Only in that way can our economic
system and our democratic institu-
tions endure"
Mr.. Roosevelt avoided mention Of
the jittery condition of the stock
markets, but before delivering his
address he had seen Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau and
| learned that the market was recov-
ering, due to heavy buying by bar
gain hunters and perhaps to recov-
cry of confidence by investors.
Among the many notable persons
on the platform with the President
was Senator Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia, who fathered the federal re-
serve system during the Wilson ad-

of 60 cents a bushel on corn to i'm

Mr.. Roosevelt warned that crop
loans should not be pushed so high
that the drain on federal revenues
would become too heavy; and that
he intimated that the budget would
not permit great extension of loans
at this time.
However, Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace subsequently told a press
