WITH OPTIMISM
RECOVERY PLAN
WASHINGTON, July 25. — Ex
cerpts from the address made by
President Roosevelt last night to
the nation are self explanatory and
are in a language which everyone
can understand.
The President spoke on his in
dustrial recovery program and said
“It is obvious that if we can great
ly increase the purchasing power
of the tens of millions of people
who make a living from farming
and the distribution of farm crops,
we will greatly increase the con
sumption of those goods which
are turned out by industry.
“I expressed my faith that we
can make possible by democratic
self-discipline in industry general
increases in wages and shortening;
of hours.
“Abolishment of child labor!
makes me personally happier than'
any other one thing which I have;
been connected with since I came
to Washington.
“We are not going through an
other winter like the last.
“It is my purpose to keep posted!
in the postoffice of every town a{
roll of honor of all those who join'
with me.
“You can look on every employer
who adopts the plan as one who is
doing his part, and those em
ployers deserve well of everyone
who works for a living.
“If I am asked whether the Am
erican people will pull themselves
out of this depression, I answer,
they will if they want to.”
