The insurance of bank. deposits pro.
tects us against bank runs. Oul
controls over the marketing ano
exchange of securities prevent wilo
speculative sprees and stock market
crashes.
Because of these and other Gov
ernment policies, we have suffered
far less in this period of declining
prices than we ever have in similar
period before. These Government
measures, all of which were bitterly
opposed by selfish interests when
they were passed, have proved their
value in protecting the economy.
Furthermore, all groups in the
Nation have gained a better under
standing of economic problems since
the 1920's, and this understanding,
on the part Of businessmen, con-
sumers, and labor, has helped to
cushion the process of price change.
Positive Action Needed.
Now all of us-buSiness, labor,
agriculture, and Government-must
take positive action together to re-
store the upward trend. The de-
cisions we make in the next few
months can prolong the present de-
cline, or they can turn it into an
upSwing.
Our goal is maximum employment
and production. The only way to
reach this goal is to increase our
economic activity. The needs OF
our people are constantly growing.
Our Skills are increasing. Every
year brings forth new inventions
and techniques, new opportunities
for improvement and development.
The tools are at hand for con-
tinued economic expansion. All we
need is the courage to use them.
Businessmen should take advan-
tage now of opportunities for mod
ernizing their plants and for new
business investment, and together
with labor should cooperate in
achieving higher production and
employment Farm production
should continue at high levels.
The Government likewise must
direct its policies toward continued
economic expansion. The country is
growing and we need to preserve
and develop our natural resources
for this generation and the next
We must therefore press forward
with programs of soil conservation,
and river valley development, and
other public works.
Must Build for Future.
Economic expansion requires con-
stantly rising living standards for
our people. We must therefore ex-
pand our programs of social securi-
ty. education, health, and housing.
We must build, as we are building,
for the future
There are men of little vision
who say we ought not to 60 on
doing these things. They say they
cost too much. They say We are
wasting money.
The truth is that an investment
in the future of America is not
waste of money. The dollars we put
into our rivers and our power
plants will be repaid to us in fruit
full valleys and prosperous commu-
mites. Expenditures for the health
and education of our children will
yield us untold dividends in human
happiness.
But, say those who object, look
at the size Of the budget
All right, let's look at the budget.
f. The budget includes the cost of
almost everything. the Government
does. 1t is not simply the payroll
Iof Federal employees, as some people
appear to think. In fact, the pay of
Federal civilian employees is only
about II per cent of the budget.
The budget includes all Federal ex-
DenSes for national defense for in

Following is the tert of PreSi-
dent Trunlan'S radio address to
the Nation last night on the
country'S economic condition:
My Fellow Citizens:
I want to talk to you tonight
about our country, about its future
and about its importance to the
hopes and aspirations of mankind
1t is a good thing to stop and
think about where we are, where
we are going, and what our ma
tional aims and objectives should
be. The elected representatives OF
the people, and particularly their
President, have a duty to report
from time to time on these basic
questions.
On Monday I sent the mid-year
Economic Report to the Congress
Tonight I want to tell you some
thing about what was in that re-
port, and also about the Federal
budget, concerning which there has
recently been much discussion.
The history of the United States
is story of constant economic
growth and expansion. When I was
a young man, the population of the
United States was between 9o,000,-
900 and 100,000,000. Today it is
nearly 150,0O0,00O. Forty years ago
the national income-the total OF
all HE income received by all the
people in the United States-was
In the neighborhood of $50 1000, ,000,-
600. Today, the national income is
well over 5000, 900, 100000. 1t has in
creased more than 10 times as fast
Is the population.
These figures are a measure OF
our rising standard of living-our
increasing freedom from toll and
poverty. They are the result OF
constant expansion in agriculture
and industry.
Cannot Stand Still.
In fact, unless we do expand our
production steadily, we run into
economic difficulties. We cannot
stand still. We must expand if we
are to stay prosperous.
A little more than 10 years ago
President Roosevelt called for a
national income of 100000, 900
. year. This was a surprising figure
when he mentioned it, but we have
far surpassed it in the space of 10
years. Our national income last
year was 1925, 900, 100000.
If we could make such progress
in the past, we can go on making
1t in the future. Before long, our
national income should reach a
total of 100000, 100000.
But if we want to reach that
goal, we all have some hard work
ahead of us. We shall have to make
wise decisions about our national
policies. And we shall have to be
sure that the selfish interests do
not drive us into the ditch, as they
have done before.
At the present time, there is a
drop in employment and in produc-
ton in certain lines. I have been
concerned about this and l have
studied the facts carefully. I want
to tell you what these facts are.
AS to employment, we now have
more than 59,50o.OOO people work.
ing in civilian jobs. This is a tre-
mendous number, but last year at
this time we had little over
81 600, 900 employed. Furthermore,
there are more people looking for
jobs this year, because about 1,000,-
600 young people and veterans have
become available for employment
tor the first time. :
-Four Million Out of Work.
Consequently, although the num-
ber Of people with jobs is very high,

Census Bureau Asked
To Check Coffee Stock
AS Step in Price Probe
By J. A. O'leory

Senator Gillette. Democrat, of
Iowa asked the Census Bureau to-
day to find out Immediately how
much coffee is on hand in the
United States as the first step in
an investigation into recent price
rises following reports Of poor
crops In Latin America.
The Iowa Senator also requested
the bureau to resume regular pub
lication of coffee statistics, charg-
ing that Selfish trade interests
and spectators" persuaded the
Census Bureau and the Agricul-
ture Department to discontinue
the collection and publication of
these statistics in February, 1947.
A Senate Agriculture Subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Gil
lette. summoned Evan Clague,
commissioner of Labor Statistics,
to testify on living costs generally.
But before Mr.. Clague took the
stand, Senator Gillette announced
he has decided overnight the SUBJ
committee has authority to pro-
ceed at once with a coffee investi-
cation. because it affects the con-
sumers buying power. Yesterday
the Iowa Senator had said, he
thought his subcommittee might
have to wait for additional power
because coffee is an imported
product.
Insiders Have Facts.
with the facts before them the
American people are able to make
intelligent decisions" Senator Gill
lette said. But the recent wave
of scarce buying of coffee is an
example of the insiders having the
facts and not making them avail
able to the public.
Throughout the war years the
Census Bureau collected statistics
on stocks Of both green and roast
ed coffee on hand in the country
and currently made these statis-
tics available to the public.
Selfish trade interests and specu-
lators. however, were able to per-
suade the Census Bureau and the
Department of Agriculture to dis
continue the collection and pub
lication Of these statistics as of
the month of February. 1947."
Import Figures High.
Senator Gillette added that If
the figures for the whole year,
l949. follow the pattern OF the first
eight months when imports were
about S per cent higher than for
the corresponding top year Of
1948. 1949 will provide the United
States with the highest stocks on
record. while consumption will be
below the maximum. Apparently
the public has been mislead into
tremendous amount Of scarce
buying that has certainly been
good news to the SPECTATORS and
the foreign coffee interests"
Earlier, Senator Young, Repub-
lican, OF North Dakota, backed up
the proposed coffee inquiry. de-
claring there is no excuse for
dealers to raise prices on stocks
already on hand"
