PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Offers No Budget Balance And Holds To New Deal Policies Washington, Jan. 3._j*?i(,eiu Roosevelt told Congas t,od that the 1938^9 budget cannot be balanced, disclosed new plans to a tack monopolist and . business abuses, aud ca?e(, for prompt ^ actruent of his (recovery-reform jm.g.am, including a wages-hour Cheers, applause and rebel veils greeted him as he appeared in the House chamber Hll(1 read ^ 4,000 word messaie o? (.he "Stale of the Union" which put the sec ond regular session of the 75th Congress to work. The message was transmitted over more than ?i00 radio stations to listeners in this country and abroad Contrary to earlier reports which whetted interest abroad. Mr. Roosevelt devoted only nine Paragraphs to world unrest. He restated this nation's desire for peace and forecast the likelihood of an expanded navy building Program by warning that all peace-loving countries must be strong enough to force peaceful solution of conflicts which threat en civilization. He added that we must keep loui-selves ade quately strong in /self-defense . " No Retreat He whs equaljyi frank in discus ?i?*K domestic problems. He hit berly assailed a small minority of business men whom he accused of seeking to thwart New Deal obpec 'Vj8 c I*8. aMac'{ed monopolists and financial domination by the few He rejected substitution of the dole for work relief, and pro claimed that there will be no retreat from New Deal obpectives ?and principles. Reminiscent ?f charges made last week by Secretary of the In ferior Harold I.~tckes and As sistant Attorney General Robert Jackson that, capital is on a sit-down strike against govern ment to force liquidation of the New Deal, Mr. Roosevelt conceded that capital and reasonable earn ings on capital are essential in a democracy. But, he added: "Misuse of the power of capit al or selfish suspensioh of the em ployment of capital must be en ded, or the capitalistic svstem will destroy il?elf through Its own abuses." ?The President *aid h? would ; '.other special message lo Congivss on revisit, ()f |lllsllu.ss laws, btr< niidsiiimu he Mit.' there are numerous business . radices which most believe should l?a en d' d. ? Among them, he said, are: Tax avoidance, excessive capitali sation. investment, wrltHn;,. security manipulation-; pric, rin ging and collusive bidding in de fiance of the spirit of anting, laws; high pressure salesmanship he use of patent law? to enable ??r?gr corporations to maintain high prices; unfair competition intimidation of local or state gov ernment to prevent the enactment of .laws for Hie protection of la bor." Gets Applause A roar of applause went np as Mr. Roosevelt entered the cham ber shortly before 1:30 p. m. Senators, Congressmen, govern ment dignitaries and crowded gal leries stood and gave him a noisy ovation. There was a rattle of ap plause when he demanded farm legislation, when he called for a wages-hour bill to balance the in cronsed purchasing power to ac crue to the farmer and when he whip-lashed monopolists. But, tonight, it did not appear that the President's message, re garded by some as more concilia tory toward business than those of t-be past, would heal the breach between conservative Democratic members and the New Deal. Sena tor Royal S. Copeland, (D.-N. Y.), complained that the President gave no assurance that tlie govern ment will not interfere with hon est' endeavors of business. He said he was "disappointed in what the message did not say." Senator Carter Glass, (D.-Va.). one of the New Deal's critics, said it was "a very agreeable message? from his viewpoint." P *A flock of white leghorn hens averaging 84 in the flock for the year paid Frank Freeie, of Sylva, Jackson County, a net profit of $262.62 above feed cost.
