But this year when the industrialist and the cotton | picker agree times are better, things are going ahead,! this year when there is once again a chance for every- one to earn a good living and look forward to a future for himself and his own people, there is the more cause for festivity. It is a time for thanksgiving and a time | for further strengthening and consolidating the na- tional well-being. That is why the national commit- tee is not surprised at the early and enthusiastic res- ponse for the 1937 parties. Thirty per cent of the funds obtained will be used to forward the work of the men of science who are courageously and persistently seeking methods to! strike at the heart of poliomyelitis, to stamp out th‘ enemy of children, and to help those who have been its victims. But seventy cents out of every dollar collected, will be spent locally for the relief of infantile paralysis sufferers resent the spirit of the good neighbor and good Ameri- can, first benefiting friends ‘and acquaintances and | afterward contributing toward the general good.

Mr. Roosevelt’s first message to ”‘L Seventy-fifth Congress is, in effect, a schedule of future public busi- Immediate action by Congress is necessary in two matters. One is the strengthening of our neutrality laws so as to cover the unhappy civil war in Spain. The other is the decision what tem- porary agencies, with what powers, are to be retained after their authorization by law expires, as it will very | oon. This particular question the President leaves for determination to Cong alone. Doubtless he | will assist it to make up its mind, but at present he offers no recommendation whatever. His budget mes- age will be sent to Congress separately. Mr. Roose- velt also announces that he will before long send a me ge detailing his plans for the reorganization of Then, after his inaugur tion for a second term, he will address Congress from ime to time on subjects concerning which he thinks \legislation needful. To this general outline of future effort the message is almost purely preliminary. Yet its tone and treatment are such as to give the country added reassurance. The President does not speak like a man thinking of new experiments and new crusades. His attitude is rather that of a com- nander who desires mainly to consolidate gains al- ready made, and to enlarge them slowly and prudent- {ly. The President’s reference to the National Recovery Act is significant. He refers to it as having been made an “outlaw” by the courts, but admits that it was rapidly breaking down of its own weight because we undertook to do too much at once by the same agency. That mistake must not be repeated. Yet the pirit of cooperation which underlay it must be clung | Roosevelt asked the Congress and the country | fullest sort of cooperation in the years to | The struggles of the nation in and out of the depr n have shown that democracy can be made to work. hey have also shown that the Constitution of the United States is a fully adequate instrument of It may need more liberal interpretation | of some of its parts, and in this the judicial branch of the Government may be expected to give aid, but it does not require any radical amendment. Thus the President’s trumpet in his message to Congi does mnot give forth an uncertain sound. But, happily, it is not a summons to battle. It is,! rather, a note appealing for peaceful cooperation in securing those national and international blessings | which are the heart’s desire of all the American people. | They will take this first public announcement of policy | end hope by the President as an augury and guaran- ! e of many good things to follow.
