"I believe it will." * The second step to restore j normal business, he continued, was "to clean up thoroughly unwholesome conditions in the field t of inv istment.” In that connection he observed: “Only a very small minority of the people of this country believe ; in gambling as a substitute for the old philosophy of Benjamin Franklin that the way to wealth is through work." The President discussed frankly the problems of the national recovery administration, told how it was to be reorganized and paid tribute to the able and energetic leadership of General Hugh S. Johnson, recently resigned as re<wver? administrator. He admitted that the heavy industries had not progressed as tapidly as general business, but

said there was no magic formula 1 nor economic panacea which could revive, them overnight. "N’evertheless the gains of trade and industry, as a whole, have been substantial,” he said. “We count, in the future as in | the past, on the driving power of ’ individual initiative and the in- | centive of fair private profit, ■strengthened with the acceptance i of those obligations to the public I interest which rest upon us all. ' he added. “We have the right to l expect that this driving power | will be given patriotically and I whole heartedly to our nation.” It is time now, he said, to review the works of the NRA to determine whether its emergency decisions "have been best calculated to promote industrial recovery and a permanent improvement of business and labor conditions." Mr. Roosevelt defended heatedly the expenditures of the public works administration in putting men back to work. “To those who say that our expenditures for public works and other means for recovery are a ■ i waste that we camtot afford. I | answer thaj no eountry, however rich, can afford the waste of its | human resources." he said. “DeI moralization caused by unemployj ment is ■ our greatest extravagance. • Morally it is the greatest menace to our social order. Some people try to tell me that we must

make up our minds that for the future we shall permanently have millions of unemployed, just as other countries have had them for a decade. What may be necessary for those countries is not my responsibility to determine. “But as for this country, I stand or fall by my refusal to accept as a necessary condition of our future a permanent army of uncra- | ployed, x x x I do not want to

The President said it was fortunate that "tho.se who are frightened by boldness and cowed bv the necessity for making decisions." are few in number. “Nor that these, people are coming out of their storm cellars, j tliey forget that there ever was a ' storm,” he said. “They point to ' j England.

The President concluded his address with an ironical observation ' of his own. saying that he was not favorable to a "return to that definition of liberty under which for many years a free people were being gradually regimented into the service of the privileged few.” "I prefer.” he said, “and I am

He advocated the es- , tablisliment of 12 great banking ( center* which would loan government money to small business concerns. “This." he said, "would return prosperity in a few months.” He also advocated the increase of $300,000,000 in pensions and bonuses to veterans and their dependents. David Hogg discussed briefly the farmers' problems under the present administration. He claimed . the former was paying a sales tax through the processing tax.

It’s Time To Take Down The Screens MOST of us hate to set? Summer go. We miss the freedom that comes from being out-of-doors. We dread being bottled up in heated houses — wearing heavy clothes—fighting cokls and all impositions of Winter. Since we have to live indoors, let’s be gay and make indoors attractive. A new rug will brighten the livingroom and the one it displaces can go upstairs to cheer up a bedroom. Some colorful curtains will accentuate the pale winter sun. A new kitchen range or sink will take the gloom out of that much-used workshop. Some comfortable chairs will help you relax during the long evenings. !A little money will go a long way today in renovizing your home. Just watch the advertisements in this newspaper—there are amazing bargains in furniture, lamps, curtains, rugs and kitchen equipment. You're always more certain to get full value for your money when you buy products advertised by dependable merchants and manufacturers.

Pointing to the progress of American religion in the last century, the National Committee for Religion and Welfare Recovery foresees a continuation of this gain io the future. The Committee, working from the offices of the Golden Rule Foundation at 60 East 42nd Street, New York City, is stressing the importance to the nation of our religious character-huildmg agencies, and will mobilize the adherents of a'l faiths try urging attendance at worship on Loyalty Day, October 6th and 7th. Following this it will conduct an educational program for the better stewardship of life and resources,

period extends from October 1 to 15. Money received by farmers thr.ugh contracts under wiucli they agree not to produce crops on a certain portion of their land, it was explained, is considered payment as rent. Rental money received from the Federal government is not exempt under the grass income tax law, which provides cnly for exemption of "proceeds from the sale to, or emoluments paid toy, the United States government,” the regulation held. Rental payment was held ,to be neither a sale nor an emolument. Money received from the Federal government er its agencies on ac-

designed to encourage belter support of these vital organizati ons in the present crisis. The church, though handicapped by the effects of five years of depression and drastically cut income, is still efficiently providing the nation the spiritual guidance and support never more necessary than today. The Committee finds reason to commend the support given by loyal members to their congregations in recent years, for a survey made of thirty-five Protestant denominations. including most of the larger bodies, indicates that the income of religious bodies has declined about 40% from 1926 to 1933. In

' count of livestock Contracts, however, is exempt from gross income tax. the regulation said. Receipts from livestock contracts are considered benefit payments as the sales price of livestock and there- ; i fi re exempt as a sale to the govi ernment.

view of the decline in national income, this was not unexpected, but demands and opportunities for service have increased rather than declined. The churches, which have carried on their funetions under growing financial difficulties, now face a period of rising prices in which these hardships will be multiplied. That the churches have met the challenge of the depression is demonstrated by their devoting in 1933 approximately the same proportion of their income to benevolences as in 1926, in spite of the decreasing amount available for local expenditures.
