the routing or deteatiSm to revive industry and prosperity.
 "1f here we can rout defeatism, If here we can regain courage and un- bounded activity, if here we can unite industry and agriculture and labor for an invincible America, then, and only then, can we con tribute to the peace of all the worlds people"
 Those problems, he said, were massive and acute" They can not be wished away by singing Happy Days Are Here Again"
 Increasing Costs 10 Farmers He spoke of the increasing costs to farmers and dwindling crop prices and urged farmers to get into poli. tics "so that these inequalities can be adjusted"

 He repeatedly referred to the "un- solved" unemployment problem, re- marking that "one person out of every five employable persons in this country is out of work"
 T have been asking" he contin- ued, what keeps the unemployed man out of a job? Here is one of the answers. This New Deal repair crew does not believe in this machine,

One Of the quotations was: "Our task now Is not .. necessarily producing more goods. It is the soberer. less dramatic business of administering resources and plants already in hand. ." t.

 He concluded:
 Our first task is to sweep away the obstacles to that fulfllment. There is only one source of real money in any free country and that is private enterprise; the enterprise of the farmer, the worker and the business man. It is our first. our primary task to create the conditions under which this enterprise can SO to work"
