II rejoice in the noble words
which he expresses in his mes
sages and in his addresses" he

has chosen to spell out noble
words and noble deeds.
Il am disturbed by the re-
dictionary attitude Of his Sec
rotary Of Agriculture, whose lack
Of sympathy or knowledge of the
real agricultural problem and
whose official acts in Implement
Ing that lack of sympathy have
contributed to the decline of
agriculture as, the fundamental
industry Of the nation"
