NEW YORK. April 23.-In Ma
tion-wide appeal for tolerance. POST
master General James A. Farley said
! tonight private business would have
to admit that except for some Of the
reforms adopted by this administra-
ton, we would be faced with a condi-
ton that would make the present re-
cession in business look like a pink
tea party"
This country was in for a house.
cleaning one way or another" he said
In an address prepared for delivery
at = banquet celebrating the l95th
birthday anniversary of Thomas JET
ferson.
1T was coming from government
or 1t was coming without government.
No matter what the enemies of this
administration may say, the troubles
that afnict us now are far less ugly
than those which menaced the United
States in 1888"
Declares Roosevelt Conciliatory.
Mr.. Farley said President Roosevelt
had issued at least 20 specific friendly
invitations to private business to join
forces with the New Deal program
to revive business and stimulate en-
ployment and he added:
If business pouts and sulks and
holds back, it may we'll know that
it will not retain the good will and
majority opinion of the American
people. We are more than blind if we
do not realize that the mind of the
American people is made up. 1t is
going places and it will not
allow any group of people to lead it
back into those primitive days that
are done and gone forever"
Commenting on President Roose-
velt's latest "fireside" chat, Mr.. Far
ley declared:
The President made it plain that
the biggest problem in all government
is the human problem-and that more
important at the moment than a bal
anced budget is a balanced stomach"
"Must Not Be Political"
Mr. Farley predicted business would
become real partner in the deter
mination to overcome the forces of
deflation, and not wait, but become
a partner without delay"
Continuing, he said: LAS we go
forward, we must not be sectional, we
must not be class, we must not be
political, we must not let ourselves
believe that our Government is our
enemy and we must convince our
Government that we are not its
enemy. Our Government must be
our friend. Our Government must do
its part. It should take the lead.
1t has taken the lead. It should have
program. It has program, but
we must remember that our Govern
ment cannot do everything.
You and I have got to do our
part. but the one thing to remember
is that nothing is going 10 be left
to chance as long as our President is
Franklin D. Roosevelt"
Mr.. Farley said the finest thing in
the Presidents recent message vas
his spirit of tolerance.
Il say to you that what we need
in this country today is a broader
oAAA AAAoAS SCAOAAC dppllCdIlOO OF
tolerance to the political, economic
and social life of this country" he
concluded, and we must remember
also that hate is the acid that cor
rodes the human heart"
Wagner Defends New Deal.
United States Senator Robert F.
Wagner, Democrat, of New York. de-
Tending the New Deal regime, de-
clared that THE critic who merits a
hearing must do better than call
names"
The frontiers of social response
bility have been enlarged in a manner
which will endure" he said.
"A great nation will not return
to the day when the solution for
unemployment was the bread line.
when the answer to the distressed
home owner was foreclosure, when
finance was the product of the blue
sky. when the wonders of electricity
were denied to the bulk of our agri-
cultural population, when the slums
were no ones responsibility, when
old age was not a blessing but
curse"
