Twelve months ago the Amer-
ican people entered n new year.
They entered it with the pro-
found hope that it would witness
industrial recovery, that it would
prove the success or failure of
the governmental experiments
that were inaugurated in 1932,
that the great problems of un
employment, declining ptfrch&s
ing power, distressed agricul
ture, and uncertainty on the part
of property owners, investors
and industrial leaders would be,
to at least some extent, solved.
They hoped the year might be
the turning point of the long
period of depression—that it
would show where we were go
ing.
The greatest experimental
twelve months In the history of
our nation has ended and ,an
other year looms. During the
past year there has been pro-
gress in some directions—there
has been retrogression in others.
Some businesses have been stim-
ulated. some have sunk deeper
into lethargy. Whether there
has been any increase in regular
employment is questionable.
During the current winter close
to 21,000,000 are being sustained
by organized public relief. Re
ports from fact gathering organ
izations show that those in
dustries which sell perishable
goods to the consumer—shoes,
packaged foods, clothing, fuel
and so on—are doing better than
at any time since depression
But the reports likewise show
that our basic industries—tho^e
which employ the bulk of labor
in normal times and represent
the greatest amount of invested
capita), such as steel, railroads,
electric utilities — are either
static or are sinking back_tojsard
the abysmal levels of 1932. In
some instances, of which the
electric utilities are a case in
point, industries are doing a
greater volume of business—
but, due to higher taxes and
legislated increases in operating
costs, are earning less profit,
which results in growing hard
ships on millions of investors
who depend on earnings from
savings for living expenses.

recovery problem is this: There
can be no recovery without
Confidence, and ae yet uncertain*
ty, not confidence, remains
uppermost in the mlnde of
millions. People who have
money that would ordinarily be
invested in industrial under-
takings, who would create jobs,
buy supplies, build homes and
stores and factories and develop
farms, are frankly afraid. They
are afraid that their capital will
be taxed out of existence, or
regulated ont of existence, or
or condemned by legislative fiat,
or destroyed by governmental
competition with industries in
which they might place it.
This element of fear extends
down from the largest industries
and affects the whole industrial
structure. The railroads and
utilities, for sxample, face, on
the one hand, the very definite
problem of reduced business,
rising taxes and diminishing
earnings, while on the other
hand they are threatened with
the potentiality of government
ownership. Under such con
ditions, who Can be expected to
invest money freely snd without
fear, to develop industries and
bring back payrolls to normal
levels?
The security of banks, in-
surance companies and similar
institutions is absolutely de
pendent upon the security of
basic American industries, in
which their depositors’ and poli-
cyholder’s money is invested.
Anything which strikes at the
welfare of basic industries
strikes immediately at their wel
fare—and therefore at the wel
fare of every person who has a
dollar in the bank or is the owner
of an insurance policy.
To blame these conditions on
a man. a party, or a group would
be unjnst. National distress
naturally breeds experiment—
the need for alleviation is so
great that it seems as if any
thing were worth trying But
a great responsibility falls upon
those given high public office in
such times - namely the respon
sibility of protecting our con-
stitutional rights and privileges.
There can be no greater duty,
and no more necessary public
task. If mistakes are made,
they will be forgiven—but they
should be corrected, not con
tinued.
There are signs that this is
being done now—signs pointing
to a rapprochement between
political and industrial leaders.
If these groups honestly seek to
cooperate to iron out misuuder
standings and differences, onr
nation will make real progress
toward recovery—we will regain
the priceless ingredient of good
times, Confidence. Let it once
be known that investments will
be encon raged and protected by
government, tbst the honest
business has nothing to fear
from political influences, that
savings will be held inviolate by
those trusted with the manage-
ment of onr national afiairs, that
private property rights will be
held sacred, and the road to
prosperity will stretch clearly
ahead.
There shall be no despair on
the part of the people. Our
land is still fertile. Our In-
dustries are still great. Our
intellectual abilities have been
increased by the ordeal of de-
pression. Only that Intangible
element—Confidence, based on
the knowledge that our con-
stitutional Ideals will be main-
tained. not destroyed—is needed
now.
