CHIEF Mexican Newspaper Says Inaugu- ration Is of Transcendental Importance. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, March 4—The government party newspaper, El Naclonal, said editorially today the optimistic hopes of the entire world rest squarely on the shoulders of President Roosevelt. The newspaper asserted that almost as strongly as the people of the United States look to Mr. Roosevelt's leader- ship, the peoples of the world look to him for results in overcoming world difficulties. “His inauguration, therefore, is of transcendental significance,” the news- paper said. “ * * * Abundant improve- ment in the world may be expected under the new administration’s. jeader- ship. [ The retiring administration was praised by El Nacional for “its conduct and policy of quieting unrest and dis- trust * * * in Latin America * * *.” ‘The paper expressed the hope that the policy of “splendid isolation” of the United States has been definitely abandoned. FORECAST FAILS Perhaps the principal casualty of Inauguration day was the reputation of the celebrated Hagerstown Almanac. By tradition its forecasts are an ap- roximation of infalibility. But for arch 4, 1933, the almanac's predic- THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C, MARCH 5, 1933—PART ON Text of Inaugural Address DEFIES PRECEDENT) prereerzz full: I am certain that my fel- low Americans expect that on my induction into the presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situa- tion of our Nation impels. This is pre-eminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shirk from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me sssert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, name- less, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life the leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understand- 1ing and support of the people them- selves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. In such & spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difi- culties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunken to fantastio levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of in- come; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enter- prise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, & host of unem- ployed citizens face the grim prob- lem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment. Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our fore- fathers conquered because they be- lieved and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have muitiplied it. Plenty 18 at our doorstep, but s generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily, this is be- cause the rulers of the exchange of mankind’s goods have failed through thely own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have sdmitted their failure and abdicated. Prac- tices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. True, they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworm tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by ‘which to induce our people to follow their false leadership they have re- sorted to exhortations, pleading tear- fully for restored confidence. They know only the rules of & generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the peo- ple perish. The money changers have fled from their high seats in the tem- ple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the an- clent truths. The messure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit. Happiness lies mot in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. ‘These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true des- tiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellowmen. Recognition of the falsity of mate- rial wealth as the standard of suc- cess goes hand in hand with the sbandonment of the false bellef that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit; and there must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to & sacred trust the lkeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing. Small wonder that confidence lan- guishes, for it thrives only on hon- esty, on homor, on the ‘sacredness of obligations, on faithful protec- tion, on unselfish performance: Without them it cannot live. Restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. This Nation asks for action, and action now. Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no un- solvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be ac- complished, in part, by direct recruit- ing by the Government itself, treat- ing the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time through this employment ac- complishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our natural resources. Hand in hand with this we must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and, by engaging on a national scale In & redistribution, endeavor to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land. The task can be helped by definite ef- forts to raise the values of agricul- tural products and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities. It can be helped by prevent- ing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss through foreclosure, of our small homes and our farms. It can be helped by insistence that the Federal, State and local Governments act forthwith on the demand that their cost be drastically reduced. It can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered, uneconomical and unequal. It can be helped by na- tional planning for and supervision of all forms of transportation and of communications and other utilities which have a definitely public char- acter. There are many ways in never be helped merely by talking about it. We must act and act quickly, Finally, in our progress toward & resumption of work we require t safeguards & return of evils of the old order; there must be s atrict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people’s money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency. These are the lines of attack. I messures for their fulfiliment, and I shall seek the immediate assistance of the several States. Through this program of action we address ourselves to putsing our own national house in order and making income balance outgo. Our internatfonal trade relations though vastly important, are in point of time and neceasity secondary to the establishment of & sound national economy. I favor as & practical poliey the putting of first things first. I shall spare no effort to re- store world trade by international economio readjustment, but the emergency at home cannot wait on that accomplishement. ‘The basic thought that guides these specific means of national re- covery is not narrowly nationalistic. It is the insistence, as a first con- sideration, upon the interdependence of the various elements in and parts of the United States—a recognition of the old and permanently import- ant manifestation of the American spirit of the ploneer. It is the way to recovery. It is the immediate way. It is the strongest assurance that the recovery will endure, 1In the fleld of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor—the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and because he does so, respects the rights of others—the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors. If I read the temper of our people correctly we now realize as we have never realized before our interde- pendence on each other; that we cannot merely take but we must give as well, that if we are to go for- ward we must move as & trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of & common discipline, be- cause without such discipline no progress is made, no leadership be- comes effective. We aré, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline be- cause it makes possible a leadership which aims at & larger good. This I propose to offer, pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with & unity of duty hitherto evoked only in time of armed strife. With this pledge taken, I assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems. Action in this image and to this end is feasible under the form of government which we have inherited from our ancestors, Our Constitu- tion is so simple and practical that 1t 1s possible always to meet extraor- dinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement without loss of es- sential form. That is why our con- stitutional system has proved itself the most superbly enduring political mechanism the modern world’ has produced. It has met every stress of vast expansion of territory, of foreign wars, of bitter internal strife, of world relations. It is to be hoped that the normal balance of executive and legislative activity may be wholly adequate to meet the unprecedented task before us. But it may be that an unprece- dented demand and need for unde- layed action may call for temporary departure from that normal balance of public procedure, I am prepared under my consti- tutional duty to recommend the meagures that a stricken Nation in the midst of & stricken world may require. These measures, or such other measures as the Congress may build out of its experience and wis- dom, I shall seek, within my con- stitutional authority, to bring to speedy adoption. But in the event that the Con- gress shall fail to take one of these two courses, and in the event that the national emergency is still criti- cal, I shall not evade the clear course of duty that will then con- front me. I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis—broad executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe. For the trust reposed in me I will return the courage and the devo- tion that befit the time. I can do no_les: We face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of national unity; with the clear con- sciousness of seeking old and precious moral values; with the clean satis- faction t.at comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike. We aim at the assur- ance of a rounded and permanent national life. ‘We do not distrust the future of essential democraly. The people of the United States have not falled. In their need they have registered a mandate that they want direct vig- orous action. They have asked for discipline and direction under lead- ership. They have made me the present instrument of their wishes. In the spirit of the gift I take it. In this dedication of & nation we humbly ask the blessing of God. Mey He protect each and every one of us. May He guide me in the days to come. FINAL ‘LAME DUCK CONGRESS CLOSES Adjournment Takes Colorful | e and Prominent Figures Back to Private Life. (Continued From First Page.) reorganize the Government to cut costs, Philippine independence, and the bank- ruptcy reform bill, were achieved by the lame duck session. But the majority of the Democratic proposals failed, and even one appropro- priation bill, that for the District of Columbia, carrying $36,000,000, did not get through the House. Nine of the eleven annual supply bills carrying $2,- 922,991,000 for Government operation, and $1,259,070,321 for public debt re- quirements, were and signed Herbert Hoover before his term expired. The bill for independent offices was given a pocket veto, Mr. Hoover de- claring it appropriated too much money. Wrangling Blocks Action. Most of the Democratic legislative program outlined at the beginning of the session calling for a balanced budget, farm relief, beer, additional taxes and economy fell by the wayside. The Republican-controlled Senate, heavy with “lame ducks,” and the nar- rowly divided party strength in the House was largely responsible for the wrangl that blocked action. The mgoouvelt domestic allotment farm relief bill, the Glass banking re- form legislation, the Steagall guaranty deposit measure, the Wagner $300,000,~ 000 unemployment relief measure, all silver remonetization, medicinal liquor and the Smith cotton bills failed of enactment. Mr. Hoover pocket vetoed the Smith measure, but he signed the Jones bill reappropriating $90,000,000 | for_crop production loans. Both the new Senate and House are overwhelmingly Democratic. Vice President Garner administered: the oath of office to 34 Senators yesterday, in- cluding 15 new Democratic members. ‘The bare majority the Republicans held in the Seventy-second Congress Wwas shifted and the new standing is 58 Democrats, 36 Republicans, 1 Farmer- Labor and one vacancy. Among the prominent Democrats who make up the new Senate are William Gibbs McAdoo of California, former Gov. Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia, who was appointed to succeed Claude A. Swanson, the new Secretary of the Navy, and Nathan L. Bachman of Ten- nessee, who succeeded to the seat va- cated by Cordell Hull, the new Secre- tary of State. Democratic members-elect to the new House already have selected Represent- ative Rainey of Illinois as successor to the speakership vacated by Garner, and of Tennessee as floor leader. In that branch the Democrats have 313 seats, Republicans, 117, Farmer- Labor, 5. Hoover Signs Fund Bills. Mr. Hoover came to the Capitol to sign the last of the appropriation bills to become law. He sat in the presi- dential room and affixed his signature to the $349,840,000 War Department measure first. He then signed the sec- ond deficiency bil], calling for an outlay of $31,000,000, of which $28,000,000 is for tax refunds. Items in the deficiency bill included $300,000 for unemployment relief in the | National Capital; $150,000 for expenses | of the American delegation to the World Economic Conference; $227,000 | for payment of & judgment against the, Government in favor of the Pocono Pines Hotel Co. at Stroudsburg, Pa., and $35,000 for Senate and House. in- vestigations of utility holding com- ies. which it can be helped, but it can lp.n%.hmmmmea\umm- Bteagall bill designed to make credit accommodations of Federal Reserve banks more easily obtainable by farmers. It removes restriction on loaning money directly to individual farmers, provides for extension of re- ayments and for reamortizations of loans. It makes $50,000,000 in the Federal Reserve banks available for this purpose. In turning over his gavel to Garner, | Curtis delivered his final speech in the ate. “I know the new administration will do everything in its power to bring about the desired result,” he said. “I sincerely wish success to President-elect Roosevelt, to Vice President-elect Garner, and to the Democratic majority in Congress. Co-operation Urged. “In a few minutes they are about to assume the leadership in the difficult task confronting the Nation. The duties and responsibilities of their high | offices are great “Our new leaders are entitled to, and I am sure will receive, operation of every one, for the common good of all.” . Garner told the Senate he had ‘‘come to co-operate” in the manage- ment of the Senate, after he told his colleagues in the House that he re- by | gretted to leave the branch where he has served so long. “This is my first and possibly may be my last opporfunity to address the Senate. I am Knmcuhrly anxious to ingratiate myself into your favorable consideration. * * * I come as your presiding officer to co-operate, to be helpful, to do the best I can to help you conduct the proceedings of the Senate.” Some of the other legislation that became enacted was the extension fur one year of the Glass-Steagall currency expansion measure, the Couzens reso- lution to give the President power to suspend bank pavments in States that place this authority under their bank- ing commissioners, and the Jores bill whicih turned over the remaining of éhe Farm Board cotton to the Red TOSS. NORMAN THOMAS LIKES ROOSEVELT’S ADDRESS By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTE, N. C, March 4.— Norman Thomas, Soclalist candidate for President in 1932, viewed the in- auguration address of President Roose- velt today as “quite a fine talk as Democratic talks go.” “But, of course, talk amounts to very little,” he said. “It is what he will do about things that counts.” Themas addressed an audience here, | asserting that Socialism was the logical plan for operation of the American Government and urging a “republic of g‘eie citizens living together in fellow- the full co- | INAUGURAL CROWD EXCEEDS 300, Railroads Handle Bulk of Traffic From Every Section of Nation. All arteries of travel into the city were taxed to the utmost yesterday and the day before in the assembling of a host of more than 300,000 persons— enough to populate a city of very re- spectable size—who came to witness the inauguration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The bulk of the burden fell on the railroads, which brought crowds from all points of the compass tot: more than 200,000, at what was described by officials as a “conservative estimate” on March 2, 3 and 4. More than half of the arrivals ured through Union Station yesterday in the seven hours Immedllu}y &recede' the taking of the oath of office by the new President, and while throngs were still arriving to see the parade the exodus of those who left immediately after the oath-taking ceremony was in full swing. 43, Visiting Autos.

Esti- mating an average car load of more than two but less than three persons, the A. A. A. came to the conclusion that not less than 100,000 visitors reached the city by automobile.

It was easy to credit the estimate of railroad passengers by the seemingly never-ending mass of humanity which jammed itself through the enormous concourse, inched its way through the spacious waiting room and out onto the | nswly completed Capitol Plaza. By 6 | o'clock yesterday morning, all of the fa- |cilities of the station had be |swamped.

Two pocket vetoes remained behind | Herbert Hoover last night as his parting | thrust at the Congress with which he | had disagreed vigorously for months. One of the measures left unsigned was intended to help the cotton farmer | by giving him a share in & huge Gov- | ernment cotton pool in return for a in the main he thought it was & very tends to meet this situation, through reduction in acreage. The other would able speech, but ‘wanted to know “what Congress if possible, and, if not, through l have appropriated a billion dollars for | independent offices next fiscal year. ‘The retiring President issued a state- ment saying he was not signing the | independent offices bill because all ap- | propriations measures Congress had | passed this session were above budget that “wealth must be decentralized,” |lican, of Pennsylvania: “The President | estimates, if amounts that would have to be made available in deficiencies were considered. | Months of Argument. The budget argument had been car- ried on for months. President Hoover said Congress was appropriating 100 much: members of House and Senate, some Republicans as well as Democrats, insisted they were appropriating less than he had asked. Although Mr. Hoover gave no per- | sonal reason for withholding his signa= ture from the cotton bill, a report de- tailing objections of his Secretary of Agriculture, Arthur M. Hyde, vigorously assailed the bill sponsored by Senator Smith, Democrat, of South Carolins, 0 encourage acreage reduction. It would have pooled under An Agri- culture Department board cotton col- lateral held by the department on pro- duction and seed loans, as well as stocks of the American Cotton Co-operative Association. Growers agreeing to slash 1933 production 30 per cent or more would have received an option on & share of this cotten and benefit by any price increase resulting. Hyde said he was in hearty accord with the intent of the bill, but didn't think it would fulfill expectations. Smith's retort was to promise its re- introduction in the new Congress. His difficulties with Congress i less than a month after he took office. Before he calied the special session on farm relief, Capitol Hill leaders criti- cized him for delay. Finally he called the special session. Plan Called Unworkable. When the Senate approved the deben- ture, however, he called the plan un- workable. He demanded continuation of the flexible provision of the tariff, and the Senate nfll:d by voting it out of the law. He Ly got neirly the kind of farm bill he wanted and signed the tariff law that came to him, but he lost a lot of popularity doing it. One of his most potent supporters, for in- stance, Senator Borah of Idaho, left the Hoover fold in that special session. that_was not the end of Mr. Hoover's differences with Congress. Hs called “a serious blow to labor” and vetoed the Wagner relief bill passed in 1230. He tried to get Congress to econo- mize by asking the people to demand it. He vetoed the $11,000,000 Spanish War pension act, and it was passed over his veto; the same thing happened to the measure letting veterans borrow 50 per | cent on their compénsation certificates. Along about this time, too, there came the historic dispute over his nomination | of Judge John J. Parker of North Caro- lina to the Supreme Court. Although his advisers on C:pitol Hill frequently counseled him to withdraw it, Mr. Hoover refused. The fieht dragged along for months until the Senate rejected Parker in a breath-taking vote. Disagrees on Relief. ident Hoover disagreed vigorously with Congress last year on relief. His | general idea finally wis accepted after he had labeled the Democratic plan “pork.” but even then he had to take something he did not like—publicity for loans of the Reconstruction Corpo- ration. He acked Congress to give him power to reorganize the Government in the interest of economy. It gave him very little, and when he told Congress spe- cifically what he proposed to do Cone gress overrode him. Consequently, he charged Congresy with “virtual destruc- tion” of economy pPrograms. In recent months Mr. Hoover had continued to concentrate on economy. | And just before he left office he ap- proved a bill that will give to his suc- cessor the same power to reorganize that he had asked Annual Retreat March 11-13.
