AMERICAN PROGRESS
FEW WHO RETARD IT
DENOUNCED BY PRESIDENT
(Received March 24, 10.40' aon.)
GAINESVILLE (Georgia), March 23. President Roosevelt slashingly denounced the selfishness of a few citizens for retarding. national progress and prosperity* and asserted that there was still too little consideration for a third of the population who were ill-fed, ill-clad, and ill-housed. "Those who believe that such feudalism is the best system," he said, "lean towards Fascism and towards a Congress that has not' been enthusiastic about my legislative programme."
President Roosevelt gave a warning that he has not given up the fight for social and economic reforms, and denounced legislators . who voted against legislation for better social and economic conditions and then failed utterly to offer a better method of their own. He condemned people for saying that they did not want anybody to starve and simultaneously insisting that balancing the Budget was more important than making appropriations for relief. ■ ■ '
