The President outlines a six point plan aimed at jobs for the able bodied, elimination of the dole, local transfer of relief, unified public works, replacement of the federal relief agency with an emergency works body, and establishment of old age and unemployment insurance plus aid for children and the disabled. He forecasts Congress will enact the program while stressing labor driven, self liquidating projects and limited private competition.
The piece discusses social security funding debates with various schemes, employer and government burden splits, and a potential veto of the bonus bill. Inflation pressures loom, devaluation talk rises, and tax increases for high earners are debated. Roosevelt is expected to push agendas, while Congress may gain independence.
President Roosevelt used his annual message to Congress to stress renewal and clarification of the National Industrial Recovery Act as a key topic for consultation with Congress. He reiterated NRA as integral to American business life and highlighted a continued profit motive balanced by limits on private power, urging support for private enterprise under fair competition codes.
Ambitious new lawmakers arriving in Washington faced immediate limits on debate as Democratic leaders pressed strict rules. Speaker Burns and aides blocked votes without Administration endorsement, quashing proposals like the 30‑hour week, immediate bonuses, and Frazier‑Lemke style mortgage reforms. The President seeks restraint on broader social legislation.
The article surveys Speaker Burns as a rising force promising practical leadership while opposing extreme bills. It notes General Hugh S. Johnson’s recent public stance via the Saturday Evening Post on recovery, advocating swift monetary and budget actions to restore confidence. It also discusses possible recall to public works leadership, Johnson’s White House closeness, and the President’s circle including Louis Howe and Raymond Moley shaping political strategy.
Trade analysts and Washington officials say recovery has advanced beyond common estimates. President Roosevelt’s message trimmed idle employables, predicting a strong 1935 rebound. Steel output, auto production, farm income, and highway work signal a swift climb in capital goods, while reform bills may slow the recovery.
The piece argues motorists bear the tax burden as gas taxes rise. It cites 1933 figures with refinery output valued at 759 million dollars and total gas taxes of 700 million, mostly state levies. It notes states divert gas tax revenues to schooling unemployment relief oyster propagation and other uses.
The text argues gas tax funds should fund road work only and should not be diverted to other projects. It urges motorists to oppose diversions and support using gas tax revenue for road development, noting broad opposition and past acceptance of the tax for roads.
Announcement by John H. Fahey, chairman of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, states the government will foreclose on property for unpaid interest. It rejects undue leniency and warns delinquents to meet obligations. The note defends emergency relief as relief for distressed debtors, not a giveaway.
J L Markham, GM of the Butte Standard, argues that the most important news in a newspaper is often found in advertising columns. He cites egg and dress prices, quality and value as vital to households with limited budgets, and says ads save time and money for both buyers and sellers.
Speaker Joseph W. Burns pledged that Congress will take no steps impairing or delaying recovery. He warned that raids on the treasury and burdens on private industry would be blocked or modified to remove fear of harmful effects. The stance aims to reassure during unsettled months.
The New York Times notes that 1934 export and import gains show progress toward recovery in U S foreign trade though the overall picture remains incomplete. It cites improvements under Roosevelt including currency stability and reduced embargo fears, with exporters and importers optimistic about 1905 volumes. Roosevelt’s good neighbor policy revived trade with 20 Latin American republics, while Britain, its dominions, France and others move to reduce trade barriers.
A financial editorial credits improved statistical data on world commerce and currency as aiding American business, notes Roosevelt era steps for better bookkeeping, and applauds progress in foreign trade under George N. Peek. It suggests private bankers lacked such data during earlier financial imperialism fears, while calling for continued recovery of U S commerce and industry.
The piece argues that federal agents keep crime in check as local police falter, contends Europe faces tensions despite a Franco Italian accord aimed at stabilizing Central Europe, and calls for old age security and thrift to sustain a nation facing economic collapse and unemployment.
