PARTICIPATION

Recognizing the grave sit
uation abroad where the sit
uation is virtually the same
as in 1914, the President
said, LET no man speak of
American armies going to
Europe" But, he warned
that conflicts in any quarter
of the globe indirectly affect
other quarters and that "ev-
cry battle fought does affect
the Americas"
Mr.. Roosevelt warned the peo-
pie concerning the discrimination
OF news and rumors. He said the
most dangerous enemies of the
American people in our own quar-
Ter are those who talk in assumed
tones and generalities.
II HATE WAR"
Asserting that I hate war;" the
President admitted that he could
not prophesy as to the turn of
events abroad, or as to possible
economic changes in America due
to the conflict. He did say, how
ever, that he thought no American
has the moral right to profiteer on
The war events abroad.
A proclamation of American
neutrality is being prepared, the
President asserted and will be
ready for presentation to the peo-
pie at an early hour. It was stated
this proclamation would have
been prepared even if the larger
nations of Europe had not declar-
eel war on Germany.
PRESERVE IDEALS
The President said that the
Americans 'have certain ideals of
safety" which 1--WE must act to pre-
serve.'
Calling for national unity and
the abandonment of partisanship
and other opposition, Mr., Roose-
velt said, "This nation will remain
neutral He said however, that
even a neutral cannot be asked to
close his mind to war The Pres
ident said it is the duty of the
American people as a whole to
keep war cut of the country.
RECOGNIZES SITUATION
At the outset, the Chief Exec
utive recognized the gravity of the
war situation and reminded the
people of the efforts of the Gov
eminent to stave off the European
| conflict.
President Roosevelt's address to
the American was broadcast over
the principal radio chains.

itures or drastically increasing taxes.
On the contrary, it is to be sought
by employing every effective device
we may have at our command for
promoting a steady recovery, which
means steady progress toward the
goal of full utilization of our re-
sources. We can contribute very ma
terially toward that end by wise
tax program.
I am recommending the re-enact-
ment Of the excise taxes which will
expire In June and July of this year,
not because I regard them as ideal
components of our tax structure. but
because their collection has been per-
fected, our economy is adjusted to
them, and we cannot afford at this
time to sacrifice the revenue they
represent. If the Congress should at
this session adopt new taxes more
scientifically planned to care for the
defense and agricultural programs,
1t is quite possible that the exist
ence of these new taxes will enable
us in later year to give considera-
ton to abolishing some of the pres
ent excise levies.
