By United Press HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 29.—The text of President Roosevelt's speech here today follows:

Pennsylvania is (at once a great industrial state, a great commercial state, a great mining state and a great agricultural state. The Pennsylvania farmer—unlike the farmer: in the West—can see his own city market within a few hours’ drive. And the Pennsylvania industrial worker and merchant know how important to their prosperity is the prosperity of their neighbors, the farmers, Pennsylvania rightly calls itself the Keystone State. Great tides of immigration have swept over it. Great routes of commerce have crossed it from the very beginning— famous wagon-roads and railroads and water routes from the East to the West and the North to the South and back again. Pennsylvania knows that American commerce transcends state lines and becomes interstate and international. But use Pennsylvania has these gredt problems of commerce and of industry it has, also, great human problems,

The, machine) age has served well the men and women who use its excellent products. The new problem is to see to it that the machine age serves equally well the men and women who run its machines. This is a problem not for Pennsylvania alone—not even for industry alone. It is a problem for the nation—and for |all kinds of enterprise within the nation. If modern government is to justify itself, it must see to it that human values are not mangled and destroyed.

SOUND MORALITY

You and I know that is sound morality and good religion. You and I know that it is also good business. The simple fact of our dependence upon each other was either unknown or entirely ignored by the Republican leaders of the postwar period. Their doctrine was to give definite help to the top and to utter pious hopes for the bottom. Twelve years of that brought the inevitable crash. When in 1933 we came to Washington it was our belief that faith without works is dead. We acted— not for a few of us but for all of us. That program worked. But the Republican leadership is still the same. It still preaches the same heresy—class against class and region against region. You do not need me to tell you this. They say it thamselves, loudly in their market-basket campaign. In the cities they make promises which they are careful to hide from the farmers. In the rural districts they make promises which they are careful to hide from the city dwellers. In the cities they promise to reduce food prices for the woman who carries the market-basket. In the country they promise to raise food prices for the man who grows the contents of that market-basket on the farm.

PRICES, WAGES UP

That is a nice fairy story. But you and I know that you can’t eat your cake in the city and have your cake on the farm. You and I know that after 12 years of that policy there wasn't any cake and there was very little bread. The American people are through with that kind of emptiness. The pricas of farm products have risen since 1932. It's a good thing for all of us that they have risen. We set out deliberately to raise them. It was their rise that helped to start all of us on the road to recovery again. Every home in America has benefited by that. The prices the farmer was receiving in 1932 were so low that he had no cash income to buy industrial goods made in the cities. That threw people out of work ‘in the cities. Today the farm's products bring more to the farmer. Here in Pennsylvania cash income “from farm production was 47 per cent higher in 1935 than in 1932. That is typical of what has happenel to farmers throughbut the East and throughout the nation. The farmer is able to buy more from the city. That means more people are at work in the cities, and that in turn means that the city dwellers buy more farm products. That is why the consumer's pocketbook has filled up faster than the price of food has gone up. The housewife pays more money for what she buys, but she has more money to buy it with—and she has niore money left over after she has bought. Nation-wide facts and figures prove this. Let us take a look at these figures.

COMPARES PRICES

From 1920 to 1932 food prices dropped 35 per cent, but understand this: Factory pay rolls in the same period went down 58 per cent. That made a large hole in the workers’ market-basket. The average city family paid less for what it bought. But that family had still less with which to buy. Some retail food prices have risen

It is true that there is often top wide a spread between what the farmer gets and what the consumer pays. For that neither the farmer nor the consumer is responsible, . and both the farmer and the consumer suffer. We are engaged in solving that difficulty.
