Increased Government Employment. .Washington.--With Impressive cere- ^ awniei Franklin Delano Roosevelt ^wa« * inaugurated as President of - the United States on Saturday, March, 4 The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Hughes in the Inau . fare) stand on the fast steps of the Capitol at 12:3(1 p. m„ following which the new P- >sldent delivered his inaugural address. When the address was completed former President Hoover and Mrs. Hoover were driven to the atation to take the train for New York and President and Mrs, Roosevelt were driven to the White House where they received some 500 specially Invited jptiests and reviewed the inaugural parade. Just previous to the 'inauguration of President Roosevelt. Vice President i^hn Nance Garner had taken the oath 'of office In the jtenate chamber. The President's In augural address -was as follows: "I am certain that ray fellow Americans expect, that on my induction Into the presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our nation Impels. S "This Is pre-eminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions In our country today. This great na tlon will endure as it has endured. Will revive and will prosper So, first I VICE PRESIDENT GARNER of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to feat is fear Itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes neeued effort* to convert retreat into advance. -In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support^ of the people them selves which is essential to victory. 1 am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. What Nation Faces. "Jn such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God. only materia! things. Values have shrunken ,to fantastic levelsi taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; termers find no markets for their produce; the savings- of many years - |a thousands of families are gone. "More Important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problems of existence and an equally great number toll with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark real! ties 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 forefathers conquered because they believed and Were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have aiultiplied it Plenty Is at our door- •tep, but a generous use of it Ian fUishes In the very sight of the supply. Indicts Money Changers. "PHmarily. this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's . foods have failed through their own Stubbornness and their own Incompe- ' - tence, have admitted their failure and , abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted ID the court of public opinion, re- • Jected by the hearts and minds of "Recognition of the falsity of am terlal wealth as the standard of sue cess goes hand In hand with the aban donment of the false belief 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 a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrong: doing. Small wpnder that confidence languishes, for It thrives only on honesty. on honor, on the gacredtiesa of obligations, on faithful protection, on unselfish performance; without them It cannot live. ' . '" ^ Nation Asks for Action. ;' "itestprajipn calls, howev^, ibt •fdfr' changes in ethics alone. This nation asks for action, and action nqw- Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direc* recruiting by the government itself-, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time through this employment accomplishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the tise 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 a redistribution, endeavor to pro- •idr a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land. Quick Action Necessary. 'The task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the values of agricultural products and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities. It can be helped by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss through foreclosure Of our small homes am' our farms. It can be helped by insistence that the federal, state Jnd local governments act forthwith on the demand that their cost be dras tically reduced. It can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered, uneconomi cal and unequal. It can be helped by national planning for and supervision of ail forms of transportation and of communication? and other utilities which have a definitely public char-1 acter. "There are many ways In which It can be helped, but It can never be helped merely by talking about It. We must act and act quickly. ' "Finally, In our progress toward a r sumption of work we require two safeguards against return of the evflf of fhe old oTder; there must be a strict supervision of all] banking and credits and Investments; there meet be an end to speculation with other people's money, and there must be prevision for an adequate but sound currency. Lines of Attack. These are the lines of attack. I shall presently urge upon a new congress in special session detailed measures for their fulfillment and I shall seek the Immediate assistance of the several states. "Through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order and making income balance outgo. Our International trade relations though vastly important, are in point of time and necessity secondary to the establish ment of a sound national economy. I favor as a practical policy the putting of first things first, I shall spare no effort to restore world trade by International economic readjustment, but the emergency at home cannot wait on that accomplishment "The basic thought that guides these specific means of national recovery is not narrowly nationalistic. It Is the Insistence, as a first consideration, upon |he Interdependence of the various elements In and parts of the Unit ed States--n recognition of fhe old MRS. ROOSEVELT and permanently important manifestation of the American spirit of the pioneer. It is the way to recovery. It is the immediate way. It is the strongest assurance that the recovery will endure. Policy of Good Neighbor. "In the field 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 Interdependence on each other; that we cannot merely take, but we must give as well; that if we are to £o forvyard we must move as a tralneff'snd loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no progress Is KiHde, r.o leadership necomes effective "We are, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline because it makes possible a leadership which alms larger good. This I propose to pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon urs all as a sacred obligation yrith a unity of duty hitherto evoked only In time of armed strife. Assumes Leadership. "With this pledge taken, I assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great nrmy of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems. "Actlop In this Image and to this end h feasible under the form of government which we have inherited from our ancestors. Our Constitution is so simple and practical that it is possible always to meet extraordinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement without loss of essential form. That Is why our constitutional 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 la to be hoped that the normal balance of executive and legislative authority may be wholly adequate to meet the unprecedented task before us. But it may be that an unprecedented demand and need for undelayed action may 'call for temporary departure/from that normal balance of public procedure Prepared to Do Duty. "I am prepared under my constltu tional duty to recommend the measures that * stricken nation in the midst O' a stricken world may require These ^measures, or such other measures as the congress may build out of Its experience and wisdom, ( shall seek, within my constitutional authority,, to bring to speedy adoption. "But in Lhe event that the congress shall fail to take one of these two courses and In the event that the national emergency Is still critical, I shall no* evade the clear course of duty that will thin confront 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 gi^en to me If «ve were in fact invaded by a foreign foe. < , "For thr trust reposed In me 1 will return the courage and the devotion that befit the time. I can do no less. People Have Not Failed. "We face the arduous days that lie before us In the warm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness of seeking old and precloiis moral values; with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike. We aim at the assurance of a rounded and permanent national life. "We do not distrust the future of essential democracy. The people of the United States have jiot failed. In tbelr need they bare registered • matdate that they want direct vigorous action. They have asked for dlsd» pllne, and direction under leaderships They have made me the present Instrument of their wishes. In'tbe spirit of the gift I take It "In this dedication of a nation we humbly ask the blessing of God. May he protect each and -every one of as. May be guide me In the days to come."
