It was a far cry from the message which President Roose- velt delivered to the congress on Wednesday to that fighting speech with which he greeted the final session of its predecessor. Then, it will be recalled, the president was as a man em- battled against his enemies. In terms which even his friends thought somewhat bitter, he threw down the gage of battle. It is a milder, more philosophic tone which he now evi- dences. He is as a soldier looking back upon the wars and } feeling a marked lessening of antipathy for his late opponents. ' "Then he obviously sought to rouse the people, call them to arms /| on the side of what he felt to be the principles of true democ- racy. Now he obviously seeks to heal old wounds, to unite the nation for a march toward better times. M4 Even in his dealing with the problem of the supreme court, ‘| which surely must have irked his soul during the last two years, |) tthe president takes a temperate tone. He feels that the nation can function within the framework of the present constitution if the court will only interpret it in the spirit of those who | brought it into being. _ In this the president speaks for the farmers of North Da- kota and for millions of others who, without losing respect for ; the court or reverence for the constitution, have felt that the members of our highest tribunal have themselves been guilty of partisanship in the performance of their duties. The nation obviously has entered upon calmer waters and ‘there is every reagon to believe that the court will encourage ’ this condition. The president’s attitude should do much to still i the turbulent waves of passion and prejudice. The court may = confidently be expected to follow his example. 4 On one point the nation will agree whole heartedly with the 3 president. That is in his contention that the advancements of ? our times have made the states incapable of coping with certain 4 problems; that the “no man’s land” which lies between state and federal authority must be conquered and the right to deal current problems given to one agency or the other, which || ¢ evel’ is best fitted to deal with matters as‘they arise. { This position gives hope to North Dakota farmers and others :who recently have been bending their energies toward a revision of the federal law governing agricultural adjustment. At present the statute provides that. the states must co-operate in this endeavor, that the problem will be handed back to them. ‘ This the farmers of North Dakota do not want. frecognize’the fact that such division of enterprise and of au- thority would create only immediate inefficiency and eventual chaos.. The president evidently agrees with them, It is not a matter of state’s rights or of enlarging the powers of the federal i goverriment, but one of‘common sense. ; The speech to congress was, of necessity, ‘general in its ‘| frature. It did not deal in detail with many problems which still Face the nation. It was merely a statement of general policy. fo come from the pen of Franklin. D..Roosevelt.

Of Interest to Us While North Dakotans are watching with interest the activ- ities of their own legislature, they also will be keeping a weather ye on the unicameral body which met Tuesday for the first { time to make state laws for Nebraska. ~ : q It is an avowed experiment but one which interests other ptates tremendously for a variety of reasons. _ The common indictments against the bi-cameral system i} pre that it permits buck-passing between the two houses; costs 7 boo much money; is unwieldly in its method of operation; floesn’t pay a high enough salary to attract the best class of ‘$men and makes it difficult for the public to fix responsibility.

With Nebraska’s select ‘Fauch in the public eye and it will not be a difficult job to check how any one member voted. Nevertheless, North Dakota’s interest might properly stop with keen observation. If it proves a success in Nebraska we try it here, but there is no reason why we should crowd in the laboratory of its political experiment. : The Chinese ‘Cure’ Whatever else ‘their own way of doing things. you may say about the Chinese they have Recently the government issued an order that drug addicts ‘must reform by New Year's or face execution.

Adherents of Fund Cut Opposed by Rival Faction in Wash- ington. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 8—In the im- pending struggle over the amount of appropriations for federal work-re- lef, it is worth noting that extrem- ists on both sides are committed to certain theories and principles which | y The World Revolutionist they do not care—or dare—to express in_public, No one need espouse either extreme view. There's plenty of room between. Each fringe is represented in con- gress, which must decide whether WPA is to continue on present sched- ules from February to June, inclu- sive, at @ cost of $750,000,000 or be Tadically curtailed to a cost of per- haps oinly $300,000,000, as suggested by such conservatives as Senator King of Utah. The first extreme theory, also held by certain important’ administration officials, includes a belief that the “masses” will insist on getting a larger share of the national income and that they'll get it. Such issues as tariff, gold stand- ard, and budget-balancing no longer count with millions of “underprivil- eged” voters, who are in a position to raige the devil and ideas on politicians. impress their Living Standard Cut Fought ‘The New Deal has given millions of destitute urban unemployed and poverty-stricken farmers or farm tenants a higher standard of living than they ever had before, accord- ing to this point fo view, would be just too bad to retreat from that standard. : and it Furthermore, such a retreat is politically impossible, anyway.
