(Copyrisht, 1935, by the Associated Press.) NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., December 9.—The 10 most outstanding women in this country in 1935 were named today by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, pioneer woman suffrage leader, with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt heading the ranks for the third time. Other women listed for achievement were: Dr. Florence Sabin, anatomist of the Rockefeller Institute, and recip- fent of a $5.000 award given by Bryn Mawr College for medical research. Mrs. Ogden Reid, vice president of the New. York Herald Tribune and winner of the 1935 American Woman'’s Association award for eminent achieve- ment. Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, the only woman cabinet member. Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, Btates minister to Denmark. | Federal Judge Florence Allen of | ©Ohio. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and author of “North to the Orient.” Mary Anderson, chief of the Wo- man's Bureau of the Department of | Labor. Amelia Earhart, aviator. Anne O'Hare McCormick, writer on foreign affairs for the New York ‘Times. notable United Three Leaders Die. Three women, who, in Mrs. Catt's opinion, “will receive a high place in American annals” died during the | year. They were Jane Addams, founder of Chicago’s Hull House; Charlotte Perkins Gilman, an early defender of woman's right to work and to be paid for it, and Dr. M. Carey Thomas, president-emeritus of Bryn Mawr College. “Even if Mrs. Roosevelt were not First Lady of the Land, she would be an outstanding American woman,” said Mrs. Catt. “In a manner that no other Presi- dent’s wife has ever done, she has contributed to the public good, through her advice, information and constant devotion to the needs of people who are in distress. Included for Position. “I include three women (Miss Per- kins, Mrs. Owen and Judge Allen) because they hold positions never be- fore occupied by women and are carrying on to the honor of their sex.” Mrs. Catt continued. She cited Mrs. Reid particularly for *“authorizing and directing the call of a national audience to a forum on current problems.” Of Anne Morrow Lindbergh Mrs. Catt said: “Her life has been heroic and she is unversally admired. “Her dignity in circumstances has been a credit to | American womanhood.” PENSION LAW MARCH | TO BE MADE ON D. C. Father Cox Plans to Come Here| With “Army” ‘When Con- gress Convenes. By the Assoclated Press. PITTSBURGH, December 9.—Father James R. Cox, who led “Cox’s Army” to Washington in 1932, announced last night he will head a “march” to the National Capital next month to urge passage of old-age pension laws as laid down in the Townsend plan. The priest, pastor of old St. Pat- rick's Church, said the march would start from Pittsburgh after Congress convenes, probably on January 10. He gaid: “Thirty years ago, at a mill behind our chapel, it took two men 10 hours to produce five tons of iron. Now a puddling machine produces 5,000 tons of puddled iron in five minutes. “Profits are greater than 30 years | 8go. Who gets the profit? Not the workmen who have been displaced. We must have some system to care for these unemployed. “We can’t do it with the dole. We ean't continue the dole. Old-age pen- sions will cut out the dole and cut down the unemployment. “Our cavalcade will go to Washing- ton January 10 to demand from the Senate, the House and the President the passage of the Townsend plan. “They told us we were crazy in 1932 when we demanded a $5,000,000,000 public works program. But that and every other demand we made has| since been granted and more than granted.” Dinner and Election. Warren G.

Roosevelt; No. 4, Miss By the Associated Press. | CHICAGO, December 9.—The text ! of the address delivered here today by President Roosevelt before the Amer- ican Farm Bureau Federation follows: Three years ago in addressing the farmers of the Nation I reminded them that the economic life of the United States is a seamless web. This was a means of illustrating the great de- pendence of each economic unit in the Nation upon every other unit. Farm prosperity cannot exist without city prosperity, and city prosperity cannot exist without farm prosperity. It is therefore especially appropriate | great metropolis of the Middle West— | here in Chicago where the interests of agriculture are interwoven with the interests of other industries serving the Nation's needs. Here is a common portation, industry and labor. Only a few generations ago inter- dependence between agriculture and industry was not in any way as great depends in part on what you in the country do and in large part on what people do in the cities as well. Things Out of Balance. Your own experience of three and four years ago doubtless brings all of this vividly to your minds.* Your suf- ferings—those sufferings of rural America were not because you were not producing—for your granaries and storehouses were bursting with the products of your labor—but because things in city and country had both gotten out of balance and purchasing power and declined to the point where people in the cities did not have the money to buy farm produce and people on the farms did not have the money to buy city products. Two things were at that time espe- cially clear. First, that because of almost unbelievable low prices for farm products, the growers of these products could not meet their in- debtedness, could not pay their taxes, and could not meet the living expenses of their families. cumulating surplus had reached such absurdly high levels that crop price levels could not possibly rise, until something was done to cut down to a reasonable level the bulging surplus which overhung the market. Recognized Emergency. For these reasons the recovery pro- gram that this administration pro- posed, and that Congress enacted, was a many-sided one. The administra- tion and the Congress that took office in March, 1933, recognized that the emergency they faced then came from many causes, and endangered the life Consequently, it put the power of government behind not only railroads and banks, but the in- dustrial workers of the Nation, the farmers, the small home owners, the unemployed and the young people who suffered from utter lack of opportun- ity. It was a great emergency, and it equired swift action. Mistakes were inevitable because it was a new field. It was inevitable, too, that time had to elapse before results were fully felt. ‘When the many cells of oun economic life were dying for lack of the blood of purchasing power, it tgok time, after fear had begun to sybside, for new, vital purchasing power to be dif- fused once more. But that life is com- ing back—buoyant, happy life—we need no evidence beyond what we see and hear around us. Knew of Problems. Justice and old-fashioned common sense demanded that in the building of purchasing power we had to start with agriculture. I knew enough of the problems of the men and women who were partners with the sofl to realize the depth of their suffering and the extent of their need back there in 1932 and early 1933. I knew the pangs of fear and moments of re- joicing that come to the farmer as the harvest frowns or smiles. And I realize the almost equally crushing sense of futility that comes to a farmer when, after months of toiling from morning to night, he reaps a | for you, as representatives of the farm- | ers of the Nation, to meet here in this | meeting ground of agriculture, trans- | as it is today; but now your welfare | The other fact, that| in most major crops a constantly ac- : able, and never will be able, to legis- as Outstanding Women of the Year Mrs, Carrie Chapman Catt,. pioneer woman suffrage leader, today named these women as the most outstanding in the Nation in 1935.

And vet, we have shrugged our | | shoulders when we have seen cotton |run up and down the scale between | | 412 cents and 28 cents, wheat run down and up the scale between $1.50 and 30 cents—corn, hogs, cattle, po- | tatoes, rye, peaches—all of them fluc- | | tuating from month to month and from year to year in mad gyrations, which, of necessity, have left the growers of them speculators against their will. Measures Urged by Farmers. The measures to which we turned | to stop the decline and rout of Ameri- | can agriculture originated in the as- pirations of the farmers themselves expressed through the several farm organizations. I turned to these or- ganizations and took their counsel and sought to help them to get these | purposes embodied in the law of the land. What you wanted and what you and I have endeavored to achieve was to put an end to the destructive forces that were threatening Ameri- can agriculture. We sought to stop the rule of tooth and claw that threw farmers into bankruptcy or turned them virtually into serfs, forced them to let their buildings, fences and ma- chinery deteriorate, made them rob their soil of its God-given fertility, deprived their sons and daughters of a decent opportunity on the farm. To those days, I trust, the organized pow- er of the Nation has put an end for- ever. I say “the organized power of the Nation” advisedly, because you and I as Americans who still believe in our republican form of constitutional gov- ernment know, as a simple fact, that 48 separate sovereign States, acting each one as a separate unit, never were late or to administer individual laws adequately to balance the agricultural life of a Nation so greatly dependent on nationally-grown crops of many kinds. Used Basis of Parity, As a first step, organized agriculture pointed out that it was necessary to bring agriculture into a fair degree of equality with other parts of our economic life. For so long as agri- culture remained a dead weight on economié¢ life, sooner or later the en- tire structure would crash. We used for temporary guidance the idea of parity between farm prices and in- dustrial prices. As you know, the figures that we used to determine the degree to which agricultural prices had fallen in relation to other prices were based upon the figures of 1909 to 1914, This was a fairly satisfactory way of measuring our efforts. Those five years preceding the beginning of the World War were years of fair prosperity in this country. They were the last vears before the widespread disturbance caused by the World War took place in our economic life. And measured by the figures built upon this standard, the relative purchasing power of the farmer had fallen to less than 50 per cent of normal in early 1933. I promised to do what I could to remedy this, and, without burden- ing you with unnecessary figures, let the record say that a relative purchas- ing power of below 50 per cent has now moved up today to better than 50 per cent. As I have pointed out be- fore, this rise in farm prices has meant a very substantial improvement in the farm income of the United States. The best available figures show that it has increased nearly $3,000,000,000 in the past two and one-half years. Buying Power Felt. This buying power has been felt in many lines of business, outstanding among these is the farm ‘equipment industry, in which employment jumped from 27 per cent of the average in Oc- tober, 1932, to 116 per cent in October, bumper crop, only to see the price fall so low that it scarcely pays him to take this crop to market. One of the greatest curses of Ameri- can life has been speculation. I do not refer’to the obvious speculation in stocks and bonds and land booms. You and I know that it is not in- herently a good thing for individuals in any nation to be able to make great fortunes by playing the market without the necessity of using much in the way either of toil or of brains; their tools are a little capital and a good deal of luck. Involuntary Speculation. 1935. In the motor car industry, which has found some of its best markets on farms and in small towns, over the same three-year span employment has increased from 42 per cent to 105 per cent. These simple figures show how industrial employment in the cities has been benefited by - the improve- ment in the farmers’ condition. Increasing pay rolls in the farm equipment and sutomobile industries in turn are stimulating other lines. Only a few days ago I noted an item in the papers which I thought very significant. It told of increased ac- tivity in the textile mills. Gne reason, The kind of speculation I am talk- ing about is the involuntary specula- tion of the farmer when he puts his TE & UNITED STATES Gall any time Bunday. Retwcen week. Columbia 0248-W. A crops into the ground. How can it be healthful for a country to have the price of crops vary 300 and 500 and 700 per cent, all in less than a gen- eration? If you invest your savings said the newspaper account, was the demand for textiles in the manufac- ture of automobiles. There you have the complete chain.

Anne O'Hare McCormick of the New York Times also was named. and these manufacturers in turn go into the market for more cotton. Goods are moving again, and as goods are moving, so is money rmoving once more, and as it flows, millions of farm and city families are getting a bigger share of the national income. I think it is safe to say that al- though prices for farm products show many increases over depression lows, the farm program instead of burden- ing consumers as a group has actually given them net benefits. There are in- dividuals whose incomes have not risen in proportion to the rise in cer- tain food prices, but at the same time the total net income of city dwellers is several billion dollars higher than | in 1932 and I think you will agree | with me that bargain prices for food | in 1932 were little consolation to peo- | ple in cities with no income whatso- ever. Food Prices Too High. ‘Though food prices in the cities are not on the average as high as they were, for example in 1929, yet they are in many cases too high. food crop over what he got three years ago the consumer in the city has to pay two and three and four times the amount of that increase. Lifting prices on the farm up to the level where the | farmer and his family can live is op- posed chiefly by the few who profited heavily from the depression. It is they | and their henchmen who are doing their best to foment city people against the farmers and the farm pro- gram. It is that type of political profiteer who seeks to discredit the vote in favor of a continued corn-hog program by comparing your desire for a fair price for the farmer to the ap- petite of hogs for corn. Yet I know that the great masses of city people are fair-minded They, like yourselves, suffered deeply from the depression, and I believe with all my heart that millions of these city people, struggling back toward better days, resent the attempts of poltical advantage seekers and profiteers to| heap ridicule upon the recovery efforts that all of us are making. Trying to Stir Up Farmers. Some of the same type of individuals and groups are also trying to stir up farmers against other phases of the broad recovery program. Dispensers of discord are saying that farmers have been victimized by the new reciprocal trade agreement with Canada and are painting pictures of a great flood of imports of farm products rushing across the border. Just as I am con- fident that the great masses of city people are fair-minded, so I am sure that the great majority of American farmers will be fair in their judgment of the new trade agreement. If the calamity howlers should happen to be right you have every assurance that Canada and the United States will join in correcting inequalities, but I do not believe for a single moment that the calamity howlers are right. Agriculture, far from being crucified by this agreement, as some have told you, actually gains from it. We export more agricultural products to Canada than we have imported from her. We shall continue to do so, for the very simple reason that the United States with its larger area of agricultural land, its more varied climate and its vastly greater population, produces far more of most agricultural products, includ- ing animal products, vegetables and fruits, than does Canada. In the case of the few reductions that have been made, quota limitations are set on the amount that may be brought in at the lower rates. Sees Benefit to Farmers. On the other side of the picture we believe, and most unbiased men be- lieve, that the general increase in our trade with Canada, including the ex- ports of our factories, will s0 add to the purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of wage earners that they will be able to spend far more than they do today for the products of our own farms, our own forests and our own fisheries. Greater trade is merely another word for more production and more employment. The proof of this particular pudding is in the eating, the best way to judge the new accord is to observe how it works out. Ana- lyze and remember the source and the motives of the objections. Remember, too, the old saying, “it all depends on whose baby has the measles.” But the success that has attended and is attending our efforts to stem the depression and set the tide run- ning the other way cannot blind us to the necessity of looking ahead to the permanent measures which are nec- essary to a more stable, economic life. We are regaining a more fair balance among the groups that constitute the Nation and we must look to the fac- tors that will make that balance stable. The things we all are seeking is justice in the commonsence interpre- tation of that word—the interpreta- tion that means “do unto your neigh- bor as you would be done by.” That interpretation mesns justice 4 | It is dif- | | ficult to explain why in many cases if the farmer gets an increase for his | —Copyright, A.

The Nation ap- plauds the efforts of its agencies of Government to deal swiftly with kid- napers, gangsters and racketeers. That is justice. The Nation applauds the efforts of its agencies of Government to save innocent victims from wildcat banking, from watered stocks and from all other kinds of “confidence games.” That is justice. The Nation applauds the efforts of Government to obtain and to maintain fair rewards for labor, whether it be the labor of the farmer or the labor of the factory worker or the labor of the white-collar man; that is justice. The Nation ap- plauds efforts, through the agencies of Government, to give a greater so- cial security to the aged and to the unemployed, to improve health and to create better opportunities for our young people; that, too, is justice. In this quest for justice we hnveI made progress. It is a lasting progress because the people of the Nation have learned more about effective co-opera- tion in the past 2'; years than in the previous 25 years. We understand more than ever before what that term, “the seamless web,” means. We seek to balance agriculture and we have made great strides. But in balancing agriculture we know that it must be in balance, not alone with itself, but with industry and business as well— that the producing public must give consideration to the consuming public. Many Problems to Be Solved. Year by year, as we go on, many details, many problems will need to be analyzed and solved. Agriculture and industry and business are in over- whelming majorities co-operating for a common justice as never before. In these present days we have seen and are seeing, not a rebirth of ma- terial prosperity alone; of greater sig- nificance to our national future is that spiritual reawakening, that deeper un- derstanding that has come to our land. ‘We who strive to dispel the bitterness and the littleness of the few who still think and talk in terms of the old and utter selfishness, we are working toward the destruction of sectionalism, of class antagonism and of malice.

CHICAGO, December 9 (#).—Presi- | dent Edward A. O'Neal of the Amer- ican Farm Bureau Federation today pledged continued support of his or- ganization to the New Deal's agri- cultural policies.
