1. That the world outside our
hemisphere Is “In really bad
shape.” He said that this fact Is
so big that few people have grasp
ed Its meaning and so big that
“our little partisan squabbles are
shameful in the light of It.”
“Great Gains” Made
2. That the nation has made
“great gains” in our economic
prosperity and the security of In
dividual citizens.
"These gains must not be
chipped away; they must be only
a foundation on which to build
further gains,” he said. “Behind
us lies accomplished a really big
job. It was the creation out of the
funk of the early thirties of a new
spirit with which we can now face
the forties.”
Although his remarks were
good-humored, Mr. Roosevelt’s
warning that the Democratic par
ty must continue to earn the
support of liberal Republicans,
progressives and others who
flocked to its standard in 1932
and remained there in 1936, was
blunt and forceful.
It was an unmistakable decla
ration that Democrats can not
win with a conservation candidate
for the White House.

Federal Security Adminis

In Raleigh
Raleigh, Jan. 8.—^Paul V. Mc
Nutt, Federal Security adminis
trator, told North Carolina Dem
ocrats tonight that “the things
for which Franklin D. Roosevelt
has given his best must not be
allowed to perish.”
McNutt is a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomina

seek re-election. He spoke at the
Democratic Jackson Day dinner
here.

ing Andrew Jackson as “one of
the giants of democracy” and
President Roosevelt as another
great Democrat.”
“Under Republican administra
tions,” McNutt said, was “a rec
ord of wasted resources, of finan
cial bubbles, of a government that
refused to take care of American
land and American people.
“Under the New Deal, a record
of 'building, ot fighting against
fire and flood, against poverty
and disease—a record of youth
and courage fighting its way to
ward a sound and solid prosper

strong. Democracy rfiarches on.”
“The plain peo,ple of today
adore Franklin Roosevelt.” as
serted McNutt. “And why should-

siren.gth, every thought of his
waking hours is dedicated to their
service. No wonder the American
people are reluctant to have the
President relinquish his high of
