any thing which the west can suggest the contempt poured on the efforts of the lytton commission has puzzled europe and given rise to the idea that the far east must got itself out of its own muddle

of tariffs an appeal for some bold atroka of international action has been made by sir john atrd one of the leading bank ers of canada he suggests an early reduction of 10 per cent in every cus toms tariff a general cut in tariffs is however not the most effective ap proach to the problem high tariffs have hampered international trade the paralyzing obstacles have been such emergency measures as prohibi tive quota restrictions and embargoes neither of these is amenable to such proportional reductions a3 sir john ard suggests the only method of dealing with them is to abolish them as rapidly

address im mediately after taking his oath satur day told the united states he would a3k for war time powers if necessary to meet the national emergency the text of president roosevelts inaugural address follows i am certain that my fellow ameri cans expect that on my induction into the presidency i will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our nation impels this is preeminently the time to speak the truth the whole truth frankly and boldly nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today this great na tion will endure as it has endured will revive and will prosper so first of all let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear it self nameless unreasoning unjusti fied terror which paralyzes needed ef forts to convert retreat into advance in every dark hour of our national lifo a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory i am con vinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days in such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties they concern thank cod only material things values have shrunken to fan tastic levels taxes have risen our ability to pay has fallen government of all kinds is faced by serious curtail ment of income the means of ex change are frozen in the currents of trade the withered leaves of indus trial enterprise lie on every side farmers find no markets for their pro duce the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone problem of existence more important a host of unem ployed citizens face the grim problem of existence and an equally great number toil with little return only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment yet our distress comes from no failure of substance wo are stricken by no plague of locusts compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid we have still much to be thankful for nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it plenty 13 at our door but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankinds goods have failed through their own stub bornness and their own incompetence have admitted their failure and abdi cated practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion rejected by the hearts and minds of men true they have tried but their efforts have beer cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership they have resorted to exhortations pleading tearfully for restored confidence they know only the tules of a generation of selfseek ers they have no vision and when there 13 no vision the people perish tho money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization we may now restore that temple to the ancient truths tho measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which wo apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit creative effort happiness lies not in the mere pos session of money it lies in tho joy of achievement in the thrill of creative effort recognition of the falsity of ma terial wealth as tho standard of suc cess goes hand in hand with the aband onment of the false belief that public office and high political position are to bo valued only by tho standards of prldo of placo and personal profit and there must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too of ten has given to a sacred trust tho likeness of callous and selfish wrong doing small wonder that confidence languishes restoration calls however not for changes in ethics alone this nation asks for action and action now our greatest primary task is to put people to work this is no unsolvable problem if wo face it wisely and cour ageously it can bo accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the gt- ernmont itself treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war but at tho samo time through this em ployment accomplishing greatly need ed projects to stimulate and reorgan ize tho uso of our natural resources hand in hand with this we must frankly recognlzo tho ovorbalanco of population in our industrial centros and by engaging on a national scale in a redistribution endeavor to pro vide a better use of the land for those best fitter for tho land tho task can bo helped by definite efforts to raiso the values of agricul tural products and with this tho power to purchase tho output ot our cities it can be helped by preventing realis tically the tragedy of the growing loss through foreclosure of our small homes and our farms it can be help ed by insistence that the federal state and local governments act forth with on the demand that their cost be drastically reduced it can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered un economical and unequal it can be helped by national planning for and supervision of all forms of transpor tation and ot communications and other utilities which have a definitely public character there are many ways in which it can be helped but it can never be helped merely by talking about it we must act and act quick ly supervision of banking finally in our progress toward a resumption ot work we require two safeguards against a return ot tho evils ot the old order there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments there must bo- an end to speculation with other peoples money and there must be pro vision for an adequate but sound cur rency these are the lines of attack i shall presently urge upon a new con gress in special sesson detailed mea sures for their fulfilment and i shall seek the immediate assistance of the several states through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order and making income balanceoutgo our interna tional trade relations though vastly important are in point of tlmo and necessity secondary to the establish ment of a sound national economy i favor as a practical policy the putting ot first things first i shall spare no effort to restore world trade by inter national economic readjustment but the emergency at home cannot wait on that accomplishment the basic thought that guides theso specific means of national recovery is not narrowly nationalistic it is the insistence as a first consideration up on the interdependence ot the various elements in and parts of the united states it is the way to recovery it is the immediate way it is the strong est assurance that the recovery will endure in the field of world policy i would dedicate this nation to the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and because he does so respects the rights of others the neighbor who re spects his obligations respects the sanctity ot his agreements in and with a world of neighbors must give and take if i read the temper of our people correctly we now realize as we have never realized before our interdepend ence on each other that we cannot merely take but we must give as well that it we are to go forward we must move as a trained and loyal army will ing to sacrifice for the good ot a com mon discipline because without such discipline no progress is made no leadership becomes effective we are i know ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline because it makes pos sible a leadership which alms at a larger good this i propose to offer pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in time of armed strife with this pledge taken i assume unhesitatingly the leadership ot this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems it is to be hoped that the normal balance ot executive and legislative authority may bo wholly adequate to meet tho unprecedented task before us but it may be that an unprecedent ed demand and need for undelayed ac tion may call for temporary departure from that normal balanco of public procedure i am prepared under my constitu tional duty to recommend the mea sures that a stricken nation in the midst ot a strlckou world may require emergency measures these measures or such other measures as the congress may build out of its experience and wisdom i shall seek within my constitutional authority to bring to speedy adoption but in tho event that the congress shall fall to take one of these two courses and in the event that the na tional emergency is still critical i shall not ovado the clear course of duty that will then confront mo i shall ask the congress for tho ono re maining instrument to meet the crisis broad executive power to wage a war against tho emergency as great as tho power that would be given to mo if we were lu fact invaded by a foreign foe wo do not distrust the future ot essential democracy the people of tho united states have not failed in tholr need they have registered a maa- dato thatthey want direct vigorous action they havo asked for discip line and direction under leadership they have made mo the present in strument ot their wishes in tho spirit ot the gift i tako it la this dedication ot a nation wo humbly ask tho blessing ot god may he protect each and evory ono ot us may ho guldo me in tho days to
