it down over his ears, to protect
his head while riding through cold and rainv weather.

FDR Tells—
(Continued from page Ii
"1 know that the effect of our
present difficulties has been
uneven: that they have affected
some groups and some locali-
ties seriously but that they
have been scarcely felt in oth-
ers. But I conceive the first
duty of government is to pro-
tect the economic welfare of all
the people in all sections and in
all groups.
To Take l'|i Slack
"I said in my message open-
ing the last, session of congress
that if private enterprise did
not provide jobs this spring,
the government would take up
the slack —- that I would not
let the people down.
"We have all learned the les-
son that government cannot af-
ford to wait until it has hist the
power to act."
The president then reviewed
the relief-recovery message he
sent to eongreos noon Thursday
proposing a 84,512.000,000 attack
on the depression. lie told how
he had analyzed causes of the
1929 collapse, finding that it was
due primarily to over-produc-
tion, and the remedial measures
the New Deal had put in effect
to put the country back on its
feet.
"I went on to point out t.o
the senate and house." he con-
tinued. "that all the energies of
government and business must
be^directed to increasing the nat-
the brush.
All the other articles of cloth-
ing usually associated with cow-
hoys have their practical uses
and are not worn just because
they are picturesque, Royrl goes
on to say.
The bright-colo: cd nec ker-
chief. knotted tighily around
the neck, keeps diet and grime
from sliding down the cow-
box's neck. When riding be-
hind cattle, the cow-puncher ties
his neckerchief around his
mouth and nose to keep out
dust. The cowboy's 'high-heeled
boots enable him to ke.ep hold
of the stirrups white riding at
break-neck pace down steep can-
yons: his chaps protect a cow-
boy's clothing while riding
through briars and brush, and
serve as leg-prote, •:v>rs din ing
ional income, to putting more
people into private jobs, to giv-
ing security and a feeling of
securit yto all people in all
walks of life.
I a inconstantly thinking of
all our people—unemployed and
employed alike—of their human
problems of food and clothing
and homes and education and
health and old age.
Security (Jreatest, .\'ee<l
"You and i agree that securi-
ty is our greatest need—the
chance to work, the opportuni-
ty of making a reasonable pro-
fit in our business—whether it
be a very small business or a
large one—the possibility of
selling our farm products for
enough money for our families
to live on decently. I know
these are the things that decide
the well-being of all our peo-
ple.
The federal government has
set out to lick the recession—
and here are the men who are
tackling the tremendous job. At
the extreme left is President j
Roosevelt in a characteristically I
vigorous pose. lie has launch-1
ed a spending drive to cost SI.- j
500,(MM),000 (maybe even more) |
which he hopes will prime the
pumps of recovery and inject j
new impetus into business. But '
the president cannot accom-
plish the gigantic and compli-
cated task alone, and the first,
men he must turn to for as-
sistance are the "Big Four" in
congress—Vice President John
Nance Garner, president of the
senate: Speaker William B.
Bankhead of the house; Major-
rity Leader Allien Barkley of
the senate, and Majority Lead-
er Sam Rayburn of the house.
After these aides have pushed
the gigantic appropriations and
authorizations through con-
gress—and they promised to
do just that—money must be
raised to cover the grants. I
That's where Secretary of Trea-1
surv Henry Morgenthau and J
Budget Director Daniel Bell.
come into the picture. It is as-!
sumed they will borrow money I
on the government's credit to j
foot the bill. With the appro-j
priations approved and money
provided, the men shown at I

will supervise spending of the
SI .250.000,000 contemplated for j
WPA relief. Others who helped
the President plan the drive—
and who may help spend part j
of the money—are Housing Ad-
ministrator Nathan Straus;]
First Assistant Secretary of In-1
terior Kbet't K. Burlew Secre- j
tary of Interior Harold likes,
and Federal Housing Adminis-
trator Stewart McDonald.
"Therefore. I am determined j
to do all in my power to help]

lack of buying power. It is
up to us to create an economic
upturn."
Mr. Roosevelt said he then
asked congress "how and when
can and should the government
held to start an upward spiral?"
Three (Groups Measures
He said he proposes three
groups of measures, all of which
he reviewed for the radio lis-

of the government, and three-

board.

of relief needs and adding to
