Text OF President Roosevelt's
Address NatiOn On Birthdav

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-R-
Following is the text Of President
radio address tonight,
as distributed in advance to the
press:
My hearty greetings to all the
nation.
I wish that everybody within
sound of my voice could capture
something Of the Joy I feel on this
birthday. 1t is a joy whose keen
ness is enhanced because in the
larger sense these far flung cele-
brations are wholly impersonal. At
least, that is the way I like to
view them.
A recent writer put it this way:
1T is an expression of III great
est political asset-the enormous
fund of tolerance, good will, good
humor and simple human kindli-
ness which underlies our public
life.
Here is no trace of partisanship,
no taunt of social disunity, of eco
nomic controversy. There is not
any, has never been, the slightest
attempt to play politics with the
various efforts - the march C
dimes, the birthday balls-to raise
money for a worthy national pur-
pose So the effect of this great
celebration is to keep political dis
cussion and partisan passion with.
in the bounds of that neighborly
good temper, which is still the
chief quality that distinguishes the
American electorate from the po-
litical masses Of the old world.
"In sending a dime and in
dancing that others may walk, we,
the people, r striking a powerful
blow in defense of American free
dom and human decency. For the
answer to class hatred, race hatred,
religious hatred is not repression.
criticism or opposition. The answer
is the free expression of the love
of our fellow men, which is the
real thing we celebrate or January
80, 1940."
And this morning a very old
friend Of mine sent me a note OF
congratulation which embodied a
new and, I think, a very useful
Thought.
He said, 1.-THE compassionate pur.
pose to which our national tradi.
ton now dedicates this day has a
profound symbolism. For in a way
we are all crippled children. And
we are the more poignant in our
disabilities than the immediate bene-
