Text of Gainesville Address

GAINESVILLE, Ga, March 23 (U. P.).—The text of President Roosevelt's speech follows:

This celebration, the outward and visible commemoration of :the rebirth of Gainesville, is more than a symbol of the fine courage which has made it possible for. this city to come back after it was in the great part destroyed by the tornado of 1936. These ceremonies touch the interest and life of the whole nation because they typify a citizenship which is latent in the American character, but which too often remains quiescent and too seldom expresses itself. You were not content to clear away the debris which 1, myself, saw ‘as I passed through Gainesville a couple of days after the disaster. You were not content with rebuilding along the lines of the old community. You were mot content with throwing yourselves on the help which could be given to you by your State and by the Federal Government. On the contrary, you determined in the process of rebuilding to eliminate old conditions of which you were not proud; to build a better city; to replace congested areas with parks; to move human ‘beings from slums to suburbs. For this you, the citizens of Gainesville, deserve all possible praise.

RFC SPENT MILLION

It is true that in the planned work of rebuilding you received Federal assistance. Chairman Jesse Jones of the Reconstruction Finance Corp. tells me that they invested : one “million ~ dollars+in Gainesville with the objective of helping to rebuild the city and that he knows of no similar sum which has been used to better advantage, The Public Works Administration aided in projects for schools, for an almshouse, for a courthouse, for water works and for a jail, and the WPA assisted not only in cleaning up the wreckage and taking care of destitute people, but also in repairsewers and sidewalks, street lighting, repaving and parks and schools. But all of this would have beén wholly insufficient if you had hot provided far greater- help from your own ranks in the form of money and of. unselfish ‘co-opera-

-| tion.

In-the task there has been an essential unanimity in the gift of personal interest and personal service. Few among your citizens have held back. You had needs—great ‘needs. They were met in accordance with the democratic principle that those needs should be filled in proportion to the ability of each individual to helps. : tell you that this has a national significance and I want to give you a few illustrations of where and how the application of this principle to national problems would amply solve our national needs. :

Today, national progress and national prosperity are being held back chiefly because of selfishness on the part of a few. If Gaines-

ville had been faced with that type

Men's and Women's :

of minority selfishness your city would not stand rebuilt as it is today. The type of selfishness to which I refer is definitely not to be applied to the overwhelming majority of the American public. . J Most people, if they know both sides of a question and are appealed to to support the public good, will gladly lay aside selfishness... Buf we must admit that there are some people who honestly believe in a wholly different theory of Government than the one our Constitution provides. : ; You know their reasoning. They say that, in the competition of life for the good things of life, “soine are successful because. they have better brains or are. more efficient; the wise, the swift and the strong are able to outstrip ‘their fellowmen. That is nature itself, and it is just too bad if some get left behind.” It is that attitude which leads such people to give little thought to the one-third of our population which I have described as being illfed, ill-clad and ill-housed. They say “I am not my brother’s keeper” —and they “pass by on the other side.” Most of them are honest people. Most of them consider themselves excellent citizens.

NOT THEIR WORRY

But this nation will never permanently get on the road to recovery if we leave the methods and the processes of recovery to those who owned the Government of the

United States from 1921 to 1933.

They are the kind of people who, in 1936, were saying “Oh, yes, we want nobody to starve,” but at the same time ‘insisting ‘that the: balancing of the budget was more important than making appropriations for relief. And when I told them that I, too, ‘wanted to balance the budget, but that I put human lives ahead of dollars and handed them the Government estimates and asked them .just where they would cut the appropriations, inevitably they came back at. me

and said, “Mr. President that is

not my business, that is yours.”’

They <have the same type of mind as those representatives of

the people who vote against legislation to help social and economic

conditions, proclaiming loudly that they are for the objectives but do

not like the methods and then fail utterly to offer a better method: of their own. I speak to you of conditions this, my other state. The buying power of the people of Georgia and

of the people of many other states

is still so low today that the people of these states cannot purchase the products of industry. Therefore, industry itself is cut off from an outlet it ‘otherwise would have. People cannot buy at stores unless they have cash or

good credit. Stores cannot fill their

shelves unless they have customers.

South makes posible the highest kind of efficiency. : : And let us well remember that buying power means many other kinds of better things —: better schools, better health, better hos-

pitals better highways. These things |

will not come ‘to us in the South if we oppose progress—if we believe in our hearts that the feudal system is still the best system.

LIKE FASCIST SYSTEM

When you come down to it, there is little difference between the feudal system and the Fascist system. If you believe in the one, you lean to the other. With the overwhelming majority of the people. of this state, I -oppose feudalism. So do many among those who, by virtue of their cir= cumstances’ in life, belong to the most prosperous 5 per cent of the population. Men and women in the professions, the overwhelming majority of the small storekeepers, a growing number of the bankers and businessmen—they are coming more and more to see that the continuation of the American system calls ‘for the elimination of special privilege, the dissemination of the whole of the truth, and participation in prosperity by the people at the bottom of the latter, as well ge those in the middle and at the P. One thing is certain—we are not going back to the old days. We are going forward to better days.

We are calling for co-operation all along.the line-and the co~operation is. increasing because - more- and more people are coming to understand that abuses of the past ‘which have been successfully eradicated are not going to be restored. : To those in and out of public office, who still believe in the feudal system—and believe in ‘it honestly —the people of the United States and in every section of the United States are going to say “We are sorry, but we want people to represent us whose minds are cast in the 1938 mould and not in the 1898 mould.” : 2

ALL MUST CO-OPERATE

To those who come forward—and they are coming in increasing numbers day by day—we say “We want to co-operate for the good of the whole people and the whole nation.” To you we extend the hand of welcome, Go : Gainesville suffered a great disaster. So did the nation in those eight years of false prosperity followed by four years: of ‘collapse. Gainesville showed a united. front for the good of its whole population, rich and poor alike. It rose to-re-build on sounder lines. The United States is rising and is rebuilding on . sounder lines. We

Mills’ and factories cannot sell to stores who have no customers. I speak not only of the workers in the bottom third of our population—millions of them who cannot afford a suit of clothes.
