President Sees Celebrations as
Willingness to Halt Scourqe

Here Is the text of President
Roosevelt's address last night on
the campaign to stamp out infantile
paralysis:
like to think that the celebra-
tions being held from one end of
the country to the other tonight
are an indication of the national
determination to wage unending
warfare against national peril.
We are all engaged in campaign
which, because of special circum-
stances, requires that our effort shall
be Nationwide, unified and con-
tinuous. Infantile paralysis is an
enemy which neither slumbers nor
sleeps. 1t turks in hidden places
and strikes without warning wheth-
er the victim be child, or youth, or
man or woman of mature years.
Corporation Needed for Control.
I emphasize the importance of
Nation wide, continuous campaign
because experience tells us that
epidemic diseases can be stamped
out only through carefully directed
work on a Nationwide scale. We
need, therefore, the cooperation of
every State and county, every city
and town, every hamlet and cross
roads community in this work. Only
by such cooperation has tubercu-
losis been brought under control in
our lifetime. Only by the same con-
certed action will the scourge of in
fantile paralysis be stamped out.
I should like to say just a word
about the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis. Not yet years
old, it is mature and efficient Or
ganization working inGustriously to
performits functions with but one
bjective-the banishment of infan-
tile paralysis. Last year the ma
tional foundation received all of the
net proceeds of the birthday parties
for its national work.
This year so per cent of the net
proceeds of tonights parties will go
to the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis. But the remain
ing so per cent will be spent in the
communities where the money is
being raised The funds will be ad-
ministered through county chap
ters of the national foundation.
These chapters will be composed of
those chairmen who have worked so
hard to make this years drive the
success we all anticipate, and those
other members of the communities
whose association with medicine,
public health activities and other
agencies, give them special equip
ment to supervise infantile paralysis
relief work in local communities.
While the county chapters extend
local assistance to victims, especially
those who are without funds, the

South America Leans
To Democracy, Says
Father Sheehy
Finds Sentiment Against
Permanent Trade
Ties With Nuzis

Democracy needs no apologies In
South America, according to the
Rev. DR.. Maurice S. Sheehy, head of
the department of religion at Cath
olic University.
Father Sheehy returned here yes
terday after an 18,0O0-mile airplane
tour of South America in company
with the Most Rev James H. Ryan,
bishop of Omaha Their mission was
to try to find a cultural apd spiritual
basis for understanding between
the North and South American con-
tinents.
THE leaders are already sold on
democracy" he commented today,
especially the Catholic leaders"
Father Sheehy says there is gen.
eral underestimation of the amount
Of Nazi German propaganda in the
South American countries and a
general overestimation of its ef-
fectiveness. He said he also found
general sentiment skeptical to a
permanent trade alliance with Ger
many.
Derides Press Attacks.
"They know Germany hasn't any
word of honor any more" he said.
DR.. Sheehy derided attacks made
on him and Bishop Ryan by Der
Angriff, press organ of the Nazi
propaganda minister. Joseph Goeb-
bells. He said he and Bishop Ryan
were described as paid propaganda
lists" of President Roosevelt. Certain
German agencies were inquisitive
about their program, he said.
However. we do not claim any
credit for the growing unpopularity
of Nazi zi-isn in South America" he
declared. Mr.. Hitler and MIR. Goeb-
bells deserve entire credit for that"
Father Sheehy said he Was guilty
of telling everybody he met in South
America what he thought of Nazi-
ism, but was still strictly anna
teur."
The two prelates left here Decem-
ber 20 after a conference with the
President at the White House, and
dspite the official character of their
trip, will report to both the rIesi-
dent and Secretary Hull Their
journey took them to Venezuela,
Trinidad, Brazil, Argentina, Chile,
Peru and Ecuador They also
stopped briefly in Panama and
Colombia.
Haven for Refugees Seen.
They discovered unanimous popu-
larity of President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Hull and Alt NJ Landon and
great praise of the good neighbor
policy. Interest also was expressed
in the golden jubilee celebration of
the Catholic University, Father
Sheehy continued. Bishop Ryan, he
said, favors a Pan-American Cath
olic conference at least biennially
Father Sheehy feels that South
America can be a haven for the
refugees of the world, but pointed
out that some countries are specific
in the types of refugees they want.
Father Sheehy will be interviewed
over the Columbia Broadcasting
station Thursday at 10:30 pm.

Roosevelt Health Plans
Deemed Unconstitutional
BY the Associated Press

Representative Thorkelson, Re-
publican, of Montana, physician,
told the House yesterday that Pres
ident Roosevelt's proposals for an
expanded public health program
were not only unconstitutional but
will in the end destroy the medical
profession and the ambitions of
men who have unselfshly given ev-
erything within them to aid suffer-
ing human kind"
The Montanan described the
health proposals as another at

national foundation must carry on
with equal persistence the work OF
tracking the germ of the disease to
its source.
We believe that this basis of the
division of funds will also afford a
well-balanced division of activity
between the central organization
and the far-fung county commune
ties. Thus while the central orzani-
zation directs the broad work OF
research and care and treatment
local relief will be carried out
through county chapters in accord
with the American principle of local
self-determination.
In thanking all who have made
possible the widespread celebrations
being held tonight am informed
that some $4,000 events are being
carried oW-may I, in passing, speak
of one phase of this campaign which
touches me personally. I refer tc
the fact that these celebrations tC
raise funds are being held on my
birthday. I consider that as only an
incident and not a very important
incident at that.
BY this I do not mean that I am
insensible of the honor which the
selection of my birthday for this
effort implies. I am deeply appre-
ciative of that honor and feel in
my heart Joy greater than I can
express that in this year, as in pre-
vious years beginning with 1884, my
birthday should be chosen as 9
pivotal date around which this splen-
did campaign should move.
Work Itself Important.
The point I wish to make Is that
the really important thing is the
work itself. For that noble work
one day is as good as another. The
ideal we strive for is to work every
day in the task which is ours t
achieve.
Again, as in previous years, I must
take this means of thanking the vast
army who have worked for the sue.
cess of this campaign. Their very
number, greater than ever will be
known, precludes individual &C.
acknowledgement. My thanks go tt
all who have made contributions
either directly or indirectly, whether
through patronage of the parties, ir
contributing to the March of Dimes
or aiding this great work by Other
means. And I desire, also, to ex.
press my heartfelt appreciation tt
the thousands and thousands Of
friends who have sent birthday
greetings.
With my thanks to all of my coun-
trymen goes from the depths of my
soul prayer that God will bless the
work and the workers. The gooc
cause must 60 on.

BORROW Limit
NOT YET REACHED
BY THE TREASURY

The Treasury, after analysing its
debts and this weeks large borrow
ings found today it could borrow ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000 more be-
fore reaching the statutory debt limit.
Half billion dollars of the Treas
ury's borrowing power was used up

per cent 9 to II year old bonds, an
operation which Secretary Henry Nor
genthau acclaimed as success be-
cause bidders for the bonds asked for
more than $4,000, 100000 worth.

rowing power was left was necessitat-

ELECTS NEW EDITOR

A change of considerable import
ance to the Record Observer, Centre
vile, was the resignation of Sterling
G. Harris as editor. Mr.. Harris ex-
planned that his absence in South Caro-
lima, where he has developed fac
tory for canning crab meat, made it
impossible for him to give to the
newspaper the attention it required.
He agreed, however, to remain as a
director of the paper, and to continue
as member of the Executive Com
mittee, together with the Chairman,
Leon A. Andrus, and J. Hall Barton.
Roy H. Wilson who has been the adj
vertising manager since the CONSOLE
dation was made business manager.
The editor of the Record Observer
will be John A. Thayer, formerly of
Ridgefield, Connecticut. He assumes
the editorial duties of both Mr.. Har-
ris and Mr.. Theodore E. Shea, former
ly assistant editor and now editor and
treasurer of the Queen Anne's News.
Mr.. Thayer is amply equipped for
his job. A graduate of Dartmouth
in 1918, he has since achieved out
standing success in the country news
paper field.

DEFINITE TREND
TOWARD MUCH
MILDER WINTER

Weather Bureau records over the
past several years indicate definite
tendency toward milder winters. These
records show that the mean tempera-
lures in recent years have been above
normal. But while the weather out
side has been changing only slightly
for the better, inside the new cars it
has become tremendously better.
For example, say the temperature
outside is 25 degrees above zero, an
average winter temperature in most
northern states. Inside new 1910

increase the debt limit, levy new tax
es, or cut down expenditures.
Whatever the decision, Mr.. Morgen-
thau told reporters, the Governments
credit seems to be as good as it was
before the war administered severe
shock to financial markets.
He pointed that although the Treas
ury borrowing had increased the sup
ply of Government securities in the
markets, factor normally causing
price declines, the bond market had
gone up since the financing was an
nounced Tuesday of last week.
That the revival of financial con-
fidence was even broader, he said, was
shown by the fact that Colorado util-
ity company successfully floated a
$50, 100000 bond issue on the same
day as the Treasury offering.
Becaue the bidders for the Treasury
bonds asked for several times the a.
mount of bonds the Treasury wanted
to sell, they will be awarded pro
rata share.
First, however, the Treasury will
fill in full the subscriptions of spec
ial elias of small investors, who were
promised 100 per cent allotments if
they. aked for less than $4,000 and
were willing to wait 60 days for bonds
The waiting period was designed, Mr..
Morgenthau said, to make sure that
real investors, rather than spectators
would get this preferential treatment.

that $613,869,597 of the present debt
represents pre-1917 obligations which
are not involved in the $45,000,000,-
900 limit. Subtractting this amount
from the $41,296,5O5,674 debt the
Treasury owed before last weeks half
million borrowing, the Treasury still
had S4,317,363,923 of unusued bor-

From this figure must be subtract

sales of Baby Bonds. The Baby
Bonds grow in value every six months

part of their borrowing power to take
care of this growth.
