DECLARING THAT THE MACHINERY OF DEMOCRACY IN THE UNITED STATES HAD FAILED TO FUNCTION THROUGH INERTIA, PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT YESTERDAY MADE AN ELOQUENT APPEAL TO INDUSTRY TO REDUCE WORKING HOURS STILL FURTHER AS A MEANS OF EFFECTING RE-EMPLOY- MENT.

Mr. Roosevelt defended his recovery measures, and declared that never again could they permit social con- ditions allowing vast sections of the population to exist in a way which permitted maldistribution of wealth and power.

The President did not oppose reasonable profits, but when it came to a question of humanity, people in actual distress must first be considered.

BANK SYSTEM SOUND.

The President said he had just rocolved a telegram' from the Pro- eldent of the Ameripan Bankers' Association, expressing full con- fidence and a sincere desire to co-operate. The telegram stated "The banking structure of the United States la sound and liquid- and the banks have never been in a stronger position to function effectively."

President Roosevelt recalled the poaltion of the banks a year ago and added that the telegram was a living illustration of the pro- gress made by the Administration, He appealed to the officials to cou- solidate their gains and resolve that the consolidation should lead to continued progress, and especially to the greater happiness and well-being of the American people.

The situation in March, 1938, was so serious, he said, that remedies had to be applied to overy phase of the illness. Their objective had been and was to apply remedies in the American way and not to copy those tried by other countries,
