KT-:i , ^ - ■ VJ Barnwell radio listeners again had the oppcitunity Sunday night .... hearing President Ri osevelt talk his address directly to the American people and, among other things, he announced the creation of a government 'market for gold and an easing of the gold embar go in telling the nation of his recovery polities with a film asertion that “we are on our way.” Standing firmly by his recovery pre- giam, the president* rapped the “chiselers” of the national recovery ad ministration; assured an increase in agriculture prices with the words, “If we cannot do it one way. we will do it another’Y promised a maintenance of government credit anti “.-ound cur rency”; announced the dollar would be revalued after a restoration of the price level. The president’s speech was broad cast and was carried over the National and Columbia systems. Mr. Roosevelt put the operation of the government market for newly mined gold under the administrat of the Reconstruction Finance poi ation." “Whenever necessary to the end in view,” he disclosed, “we .-hall aho buy or sell gold in the world market.” Managed Currency Goal. “This is a policy and net an ex pedient. It is not to be used merely to offset a temporary fall in price.-. We are thus continuing to move to wards a managed currency. “My aim in taking this step is to establish and maintain continuoa- control. “Government credit will he main tained and a sound currency will ac company a rise in thy American com modity price level.” Mr. Roosevelt authorized the Re- (onstruction Finance corporation tc buy gold newly-mined in the United States “at prices to !»e determined frrm time to time after con-ultation wih the secretary of the tieasury and the president.” “Our Doubles will not be eve*, to morrow,’ the presidont ~^id afC*r rur erhau'tive review of his program; “but we are cn out way and we r. e headed in the right direction. “Obviously, and heeau-e hundred* of different kdmls of crvps •and imluir. trial*occupati ns in the huge territory that makes up this nation are involv ed, We cannot reach the goal in a few month-. We may take one year or two years or thiee years.” Citing accomplishments, the pre.-U dent told the people that unemploy ment had been reduced by 40 per sent, with the ie-em.pl yment of 4.- 000.000 idle; that the average farmer WQuld receive one-third more money for his crops this year than in 1932. He^made no direct reference to the situation in the farm area, but he did •ay: “1 do not hesitate to say hv- the simplest, cleare-t .language of which i am capable, that although the prices cf many products of the farm have gone up and although many farm families are better off than they were last year, I am not satisfied either with the amount cr the extent of the lise, and that itiis definitely a part of our policy to increase the rise and to extend it to those products which have as yet felt no benefit. “If we cannot do thw- one way we will do it anottfer. Do it, wc will.’’ Revalued Dollar. Gr ing into the erynplcx monetary problem, he assertml that when the price level had /been restored, “we shall seek to establish and maintain a dollar wh^h will not change its purchasing, and debt paying power during the uiceeding generation.” C ..nrpfjrinirrg of the susceptibility of the American dollar to inter na- () fltion;rl influence-, Mr. * Roosevelt ih from the White House enSphasized, “The United State- must take firmly into its own hands the control of the gold value of our dollar —this is necessary in order to pre vent dollar disturbances from .-way- ing us away from our ultimate goal, namely, the continued recovery ; f our cr mmodity prices.” The government-controlled plan for purchase of newly mined gold and sale or purchase of gold in the world market were named as mcve.s in thL direction. Strongly backing the national re covery administration, the president declared, “In the vast majority of oases, in the vast majority of locali ties—the NRA ha- been given support in unstinted measure.” “We know that there are chiselers,” he said. “At the bottpn cf every case of criticism and obstruction we have found some selfish interest, some ivate axe to grind.” lashed out also at the “petty ho seek to make undue profit cn untrue statements’” and re minded his hearers, further, “Even in the field of buriness and industry, NBA doe# not apply to the rural com munities or to towns cf under 2,500 population, except in so far as those trwns contain factories or chain store- which come under a specific code.” Mr. Roosevelt spoke at 10 p. m. from the ground floor study in the White House, where he had made his other talks to the nation. He spent the day in a last minute review with hi- recovery chieftains and then wrote his lengthy address which he concluded with: “I have told you tonight the story of our steady hut sure work in building our common recovery. In my prom ises tc you, both before and .after March 4, I made two things plain. Fir t, that 1 pledged no miracles and, second, that I would do my best. “I thank you for your patience and vou: faith.” •-* ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel INSURANCE IRE WINDSTORM PUBLIC LIABILITY ACCIDENT - HEALTH SURETY BONDS AUTOMOBILE , — THEFT Calhoun and Co.
