President Hoover Mister, Chief Jtice, y Friends,
I a certa that y fellow Aris expect that on y du to the Presidency I will address the with a dor and a decision which the present situation of our Natiohis is preeently the ti to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly.Nor need we shrk fro holy faditionsour untry today.This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.So, first of all, letassert y fir belief that the only thg we have to fear is fear itself—naless, unreasong, unjtified terror which paralyzes needed efforts toretreat to advan every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has t with that uandg and support of the people theselves which is essential to victory.I a hat you will aga give that support to leadershipthese critical days.
In such a spirit on y part and on yours we face our on difficulties.They n, thank God, only aterial thgs.Vaes have shruo fantastic levels, taxes have risen, our ability to pay has fallen, governnt of all kds is faced by serio curtailnt of e, the ans of exge are frozenthe currents of trade, the withered leaves of dtrial enterprise lie on every side, farrs fd no arkets for their produce, the savgs of any yearsthoands of failies are gone.

True they have tried, but their efforts have been castthe pattern of an ouorn traditiohey know only the rules of a geion of self-seekers.They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.
The oney gers have fled fro their high seatsthe teple of our civilization.We ay now restore that teple to the aruths.The asure of the restoratiohe extent to which ly social vaes ore han re oary profit.
