‘Text of Roosevelt's Address at Barnesville, (

- BARNESVILLE, Ga., Aug. 12 (U.

P.) ~Following is the text of President Roosevelt's address here yes terday:

Fourteen years ago a Democratic Yankee came to a neighboring county in your state in search of a pool of warm water wherein he might swim his way back to health. The place—Warm Springs —was a. rather dilapidated small summer resort. His new neighbors extended to him the hand of genuine hospitality, welcomed him to their firesides and made him feel so much at home that he built himself a house, bought himself a farm and has been coming back ever since. And he proposes to keep to that good custom. I intend to keep on coming back. There: was only one discordant note in that first stay of mine at Warm Springs: When the first of the month bill came in for electric light for my little cottage, I found that the charge was 18 cents per kilowatt hour—about four times as much as I paid in Hyde Park, New York. That started my long study

. of proper public utility charges for

electric current and the whole subject of getting electricity into farm homes throughout the United

So it can be said that a little cot-

~ tage at Warm Springs Georgia was

the birthplace of the Rural Electrification Administration. Six years

ago there was much talk of the

more widespread and cheaper use of electricity, but it is only since March 4, 1933, that your Government has reduced that talk to practical results. Electricity is a modern necessity of life and ought to be found in every village, every home and every farm in every part of the United States. ‘The dedication of this Rural Electrification Administration project in Georgia today is a symbol of the progress we are making— and we are not going to stop.

One month ago I invited a group of distinguished, broadminded Southerners to meet in Washington to discuss the economic conditions of the South. I said to them: “My intimate interest in all that concerns the South is, I believe, known to all of you; but this interest is far more than a sentimental attachment born of a considerable residence in your section and of close personal friendship for so many of your people. It proceeds even more from my feeling of responsibility toward the whole nation. It is my conviction that the South presents right now the nation’s No. 1 economic problem — the nation’s problem, not merely the South’s for we have an economic unbalance in the nation as a whole, Sue to this very condition of the u “It "issan unbalance that ean and must be righted, for the sake of the South and of the nation.” Yesterday I received the report and the recommendations based on their advice—and these will be made public in the course of the next day or two. I commend a careful reading of this document to all of you. It is well said that this report “presents in only a small degree the manifold assets and advantages possessed by the South”. because the report is concerned primarily not with what the South has, but with what the South needs. It is a short report divided into 15 sections and it covers in a broad way subjects of vital importance, such as economic resources, soil, water, population, private and public income, education, health, housing, labor, ownership and use of land, credit, use of natural resources, industry and purchasing power. The very fact that it. is necessary to divide the economic needs of the South into 15 important groups— each one a problem in itself —proves to you and to me that if you and I are to cover the ground effectively there is no one simple answer. It is strue that many obvious needs ought to be attained quickly —such as the reduction of discriminatory freight rates, such as putting a fleor under industrial wages, such as continuing to raise the purchasing power of the farm population. But no one of these things, no combination of a few of Shem will meet the whole of the problem. We cannot capture one hill and claim to have won the battle because the battle front extends over thousands of miles and we must push forward along the whole length of its front.

NOTES UNBALANCE

CITES 2 DANGERS

That is why the longer I live the more am I convinced that there are two types of political leadership which are dangerous to the continuation of broad economic and

social progress all along the long battle front. y The first type of political leadership which is dangerous to progress is represented by the man who harps on one or two remedies or proposals and claims that these one or two remedies will cure all our

ills. The other is represented by -the man who says that he is in favor of progress but whose record shows that he hinders or hampers new measures. He tells his friends that he does not like this, that or the other detail and, at the same time, he utterly fails to offer a substitute that is practical or worth while. The task of meeting the economic and social needs of the South, on the broad front that is absolutely necessary, calls for public servants whose hearts are sound, ‘whose ‘heads are sane—whose hands are strong, striving everlastingly to better the lot of their fellow men. This, then, is the synopsis, a clear listing of the economic and social problems of the Southland, it suggests the many steps that must be taken to solve the problems. Some of these steps, it is true, can be taken by state governments, but you will readily realize that atcion by the states alone, even if such action could be simultaneously and immediately obtained, would be wholly inadequate. The reason is that most of these problems in-

only between the states of this region, but between each and all of these states and the rest of the nation, It is not an attack on state sovereignty to point out that this national aspect of all these: problems requires action by the Federal Government. I do not hesitate to say {from a long experience that during the last five years there has been a closer and more effective peacetime co-operation between the Governors of the 48 states and the President of the United States than at any other time in our whole national history,

You are familiar enough with the processes of government to know that the Chief Executive cannot take action on national or regional problems unless they have been first translated into acts of Congress passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives. 8uch action by the Congress, it is equally clear, must be vigorously supported by the Senators and Representatives whose constituents are directly concerned with Southern economics and Southern social needs. Senators and Congressmen who are not wholeheartedly in sympathy with these needs cannot be expected to give them vigirous support.

‘FIGHTING’ CONGRESSMEN

Translating that into more intimate terms, it means that if the people of the State of Georgia want definite action in the Congress of the United States, they must send to that Congress senators and representatives who are willing to

volve interestate relationships, not

stand up and fight—fight night and day for Federal statutes, drawn to meet actual ~needs—not something which serves merely to gloss over the evils for the time being but laws with teeth in“them which go to'the root of the problems, which remove the inequities, raise the standards and, over a period of = years, give constant improvement to the conditions of human life in this state. You, the people of Georgia, in the coming Senatorial primary, for example, have .a perfect right to choose any candidate you wish, I do not seek to impair that right— but because Georgio has been good enough to call me her adopted son and because for many long years I have regarded Georgia as my “other state,” I feel no hesitation in telling you what I would do if I could vote here next month. I am strengthened in that decision to give you my personal opinion of the coming Senatorial primary by the fact that during the past few weeks I have had many requests from distinguished citizens of Georgig—f{rom people high and low—from the Chief Justice of the highest court of Georgia and from many, many others. Let me preface my statement by saying that I have -personally known three of the. candidates for the United States Senate for many years. All of them have had legislative or executive experience as Ciovernment servants. We may justly, also, seek to determine for ourselves what is their inward point of view in relationship to present and future problems of Government. It has been pointed out by writers and speakers who do not analyze public questions very deeply, that in passing through the State of Kentucky a month ago I gave as a reason for the re-election of Senator Barkley that he had<had a very long and successful service in the Congress of the United States and that his opponent did not have that experience. In Kentucky, there was no clear cut issue between a liberal on one side and a died-in-the-wool conservative on the other. Neither gentleman on his record could be classified sas a reactionary, therefore the criterion of experience, | especially that-of the majority leadership of the Senate of the United States, weighed heavily in favor of Senator Barkley.

many evils of the past and of the present; to work for a wider distribution of national income, to im-.

ially, among those who need it most and, above all, to use every honest effort to keep America in the van of social and econumic progress. To the Congress I make recommendations—in most cases recommendations relative to objectives— leaving it to the Congress to’ trans late the recommendations into law. The majority of the Senate and House have agreed with those objectives and have worked with me and I have worked with them to translate those objectives info action. Some have given “lip service” to

years. As long.as I live you will find me fighting against any kind of dictatorship—especially that kind which has enslaved millions of our people for more than a half century. : What I am about to say will be no news to my old friend Senator Walter George because I have recently had personal correspondence with him. As a result of it, he fully knows my views, . Let me make it ‘clear that he is, and I hope always will be, my personal friend. He is beyond question a gentleman and: a scholar—but so also are other gentlemen for whom I have an affectionate regard but with whom I differ heartily and sincerely on the principles and policies of how the Government of the United States should be directed. For example, I have long acquaintance and great personal friendship for people like Senator Hale of Maine, Representative Wadsworth of New York and the minority leader, Representative Snell. All of these life-long Republicans are gentlemen and scholars—but they and I learned long ago that our views on public questions were as wide apart as the poles.

ISSUE IS DIFFERENT

CO-OPERATION NEEDED

Here in Georgia, however, my friend, the senior Senator from this state, cannot possibly. in my judgment be classified as belpnging to the liberal school of thought—and, therefore, the argument that he has long served in the Senate falls by the wayside. Here in Georgia the issue is a different one from that in Kentucky. I speak in terms of liberal and conservative for the very simple fact that on my ‘shoulders rests a responsibility to the people of this

country. Twice I have been chosen

Therefore, I repeat that I trust that Senator George and I will always be good personal friends even though I am impelled to make it clear that on mest public questions he and I do not speak the same language. To carry out my responsibility as President it is clear that there should be co-operation between members of my own party and myself. That is one of the essentials of a party form Government.

WOULD VOTE FOR CAMP

Therefore, answering the requests|

from many citizens of Georgia. that I make my position clear, I have no hesitation in saying that if I wen able to vote in the September primaries in this state, I most assuredly would cast my ballot for Law-

rence Camp. JIn dedicating this project, I want to express my abiding faith that we as a nation are moving steadily and surely toward a better way -of living for all of our people. This electrification project is a symbol of our determination to attain that objective. But it is only one symbol; it is one hill out of ten thousand which must be captured. You and I will never be satisfied unil all economic inequalities are corrected, until every one of us, North, East, West and South, has the opportunity so to live that his education, his job and his home will be secure. In many countries democracy is under attack by those who charge that democracy fails to provide its people the needs of modern civiliza- | tion. I do not—and you do not— subscribe to that charge. I believe that democracy today is succeeding but that a necessity for its future success is the fighting spirit of the American people—their insistence thal we go forward and not back.
