NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK Oct. 1. uP/—The se-
curities markets drooped Monda;
I Allowing Pres. Roosevel.vs “fire-
side" talk to the country and the
inauguration of governmental con
i trol of speculation.
Just what influence these- two de-
velopments had on trading seuti-
i ment was a matter of conjecture
Opinions In the boardrooms *er<
mixed as stocks sagged 1 to 2 oi
more points and grains cotton and
moat other commodities pointed low
er. Bonds also displayed a moder-
ately downward drift. The dol.a:

exchanges sterling lasing more that
3 cents at one time.
While the activity in equities wai
somewhat more pronounced than ir
recent sessions it still was far be-
low what is regarded as normal
Alter the intial selling leadmj
stocks came back slightly but the
pace slow appreciably.
Shares of National Biscuit and

In view of the fact that stock*
have shown an advancing trend for
the past week or so various nar-
ket analysts were inclined to attri-
bute Monday s reaction partly tc
technical factors.
It was not so much what the pres-
ident said but what he left un-
said that seemed to bring disap-
pointment to some In the financial
district: Hopes had been expressed
that the chief executive would give
some clue as to the extent of gov-
ernment spending the methods to
be used as balancing the budget and
the eventual steps which might be
taken toward currency stabilization.
At the same time it was pointed
out by some commentators that Mr.
Roosevelt probably was unable to
give any information at this time
• bout the questions which hav? been
perturbing the financial commun-
ity. The budget it was argued will
depend upon the lightening of the
national relief burden while mone-
tary stabilization cannot be effected
pending clarification of conditions
both at home and abroad.
The president's plan for a labor
truce was described as “mors buU-
;h than otherwisa" by several
roker*.

CAHTATAND
(Continued From Page Onei
National Association of Manufac-
turers will “take the president’s
request to heart.”
The president accounting for his
stewardship for the first time since
June assured the business world
that the New Deal Is out to protect
‘Individual initiative and the In-
centive of fair profit."
Without mentioning Herbert
Hoover or other critics who see
“regimentation” and dangers to lib-
erty in present governmental trends
he said:
“1 am not for a return to that
definition of liberty under which
lor many years a free people were
being gradually regimented into tha
service of a privileged few.
"I prefer and I am sure you prefer
that broader definition of liberty
under which we are moving forward
to greater freedom to greater se-
curity for the average man than he
has ever known before in the his-
tory of America."
To Seek Agreement*
As lor the industrial armistice .he
president said:
“From those willing to Join in
establishing this hoped-for period
of peace. I shall seek assurances of
the making and maintenance of
agreements which can be mutually
relied upon under which wages
lours and working conditions may
9e determined and any later adjust-
ment*. through the mediation or
irbitratkm of state or federal agen-
:les.”
He said he would not ask either
>mployers or employes permanent-
ly to lay aside the w eapons common
0 industrial war.” but he will re-
quest them to give a “fair trial ' to
peaceful methods.
Of NRA the president declared
:hat “substantial gains” had been
made u.ider it. As it moves into its
second phase he said it will be
nod if led where necessary. Congress |
will be asked to make permanent
MRA functions “which have proved
heir worth."
He saio there may be serious
luestion of the wisdom of many
levices for control of prices of pro-
luction.
On the unemployment question
dr. Roosevelt said he would “stand
>r fall by my refusal to accept as
1 necessary condition of our future
i permanent army of unemployed.
‘‘To those who say that our ex-
lenditures for public works and
►ther means for recovery are a waste
hat we cannot afford.” he said. “I
tnswer that no country howew
kth. can afford the waste of its j
mman resources.”
Critics Are Chided
He chided those critics who
complain that all we have done
if you tire easily-
Why not reason out the cause of
this unnatural condition?
Your first thought may he “I
must cat more.” That’s not alL You
should enjoy what you do eat. Fre-
quently the blood cells are low...
and this perhaps is what make*
you feel weak. If this is your trou-
ble the stomach may not be callingi
for sufficient food. Zest to eat may
be lacking. But what a difference
S-S.S. makes when taken just before
meals. Just try it and notice how
your appetite and digestion improve.
S.S S. stimulates the flow of
trie juices and also supplies the
precious mineral elements so neces-
sary in blood-cell and bemo-glo-b’m
up-budding. Do try it. It may be'

The executive also struck at '4k.se
woo object to some New Deal steps
as unconstitutional.
“We are not ingutened oy reac-
tionary lawyers or political editors
he said. "All of these cries rtave
o.en heard before.
Promises NR A Changes
He said the administration nad
avoideu the theory that business
should and must be taken over uito
an all-embracing government • «*< j
also the "equally untenable theory
that it is an mtenerence witn lib-
erty to offer reasonable help vnen
private enterprise is in need 01
iielp.”
Aiicr declaring changes would Ot
made in NKA as needed the pru-
dent said the recovery aei had given
business men the opportunity uiey
nad sought for years to improve
conditions through seh-government.
He indicated that If codes have «o.ie
I 100 far in such matters as price-
axing and limitation ol product; m
trade and mdustry should bear part
of the biam« because Uvey were per-
mitted to write their idee# mto uc
codes.
“It is now tune to review ihe*e
actions as a whole" he said “to de-
termine through deliberative means
in the light ol experience from *4ie
standpoint of the good of the *u-
d us tries themselves as well as the
general public interest whether tht
methods and policies adopted in the
emergency have beep best calculat-
ed to promote industrial recovery
and a permanent Improvement of
business and labor conditions
“There may be serious question as
to the wisdom cf many of those de-
vices to control production or to
prevent destructive price cutting
which many business organizations
have insisted were necessary or
whether their effect may hav« bean
to prevent that volume of produc-
tion which would make possible
lower prices and Increased emp.by-
mem.
"Another question arises as to
whether in fixing minimum wages
mi the basis of an hourly or weekly
wage we have reached Into the heart
of the problem which Is to provide
such annual earnings for the low-
est paid worker as will meet h:»
minimum needs.
"We also question the wisdom of j
extending code requirements suit-!
ed to the great industrial centers
and to large employers to the *reat
number of small employers in the
smaller communities.”
