I paint it for\nyou in hope - because the nation, seeing and understanding the injustice\ninit, proposes to paint it out. We are determined to make every American\ncitizen the subject of his country's interest and concern; and we will\nnever regard any faithful law-abiding group within our borders as super-\nfluous. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the\nabundance of those who have much; it is whether we provile enough for\nthose who have too little.\nIf I know aught of the spirit and purpose of our nation, we will\nnot listen to comfort, opportunism and timidity. We will carry on.\nOverwhelmingly, we of the republic are men and women of good will\nmen and women who have more than warm hearts of dedication - men and\nwomen who have cool heads and willing hands of practical purpose as well.\nThey will insist that every agency of popular government use effective\ninstruments to carry out their will.\nGovernment is competent when all who compose it work as trustees for\nthe whole people. It can make constant progress when it keeps abreast\nof all the facts. It can obtain justified support and legitimate critic-\nism when the people receive true information of all that government does.\nIf I know aught of the will of our people, they will demand that\nthese conditions of effective government shell be created and maintained.\nThey will demand 8. nation uncorrupted by cancers of injustice and, there-\nfore, strong among the nations in its ecample of the will to peace.\nToday we reconsecrate our country to long cherished ideals in a\nsuddenly changed civilization. In every land there are always at work\nforces that drive men apart and forces that draw men together.

Then political leadership can voice common ideals, and aid in\ntheir realization.\nIn taking again the oath of office as president of the United States,\nI assume the solemn obligation of leading the American people forward along\nthe road over which they have chosen to advance.\nWhile this duty rests upon me I shall do my utmost to speak their\npurpose and to do their will, seeking divine guidance to help us each and\nevery one to give light to them that sit in darkness and to guide our\nfeet into the way of peace.\nFROM PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS\n\"I see millions lacking the means to buy the products of farm\nand factory and by their poverty denying work and productiveness to\nmany other millions. I see one-third of the nation ill-housed, 111-\nclad, ill-nourished.\n\"It is not in despair that I paint you that picture. I paint\nit for you in hope, because the nation seeing and understanding the\ninjustice of it, proposes to paint it out --- The test of our pro-\ngress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have\nmuch. It is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.\"\nThroughout the address ran a central home - the President's\ncontention that the processes of democracy are capable of meeting\nand conquering the nation's social problems; that the Constitution,\nas it stands, provides a power of government increasing as the\nintracacies of human relationships increase.\"\nContrary to precedent, Vice-President Garner received the oath\nof office as part of the ceremony of inaugurating the President.\nSenator Robinson of Arkensaw, the Democratic leader, recmited the\noath of office to him and he responded with a drawled and resounding\n\"I\ndo.\"\nna President Roosevelt stepped forward on the arm of his son and\nsecretary, James Roosevelt. He was met at the front of the scantily-\ncovered inaugural platform by Chief Justice Hughes, gowned in the\nrobes of his office. Hughes recited the oath while the President\nlistened, his right hand upraised.\nAs he did four years ago, Mr. Roosevelt repeated the oath in\nfull after him. His head bobbing with the rhythm of his\nphrases, he weighed every word with obvious care and raised his voice\nperceptibly at the pledge to \"support and defend the Constitution.\nThe word \"defend\" he accented heavily.\nado launched upon his address.\nThen he turned to the dripping crowd before him and with no more\nthen made to\"drive from the temple of our ancient faith those who\nHe recalled the circumstances of his first inaugural, a pledge\nunited of purpose to solve for the individual the ever-rising problems\nhave profaned it,\" to \"find through government the instrument of our\na complex civilization.\"\nfare to be solved by the winds of chance and the hurricanes of disaster!\n\"We refused,\" he said, \"to leave the problems of our common wel-\nadequately to meet modern problems.\nin his recent message to Congress, that it equips the government\nTurning to the Constitution, he reiterated his belief, expressed\nimpotent.\" \"The Constitution of 1787,\" he said, \"dúd not make our democracy\nThe a review of the accomplishments of four years.\nhe been said. \"Vitality has been preserved.

The times were on the side of progress.\"\nOF\nFLORIDA\nyou\nMr\n-2-\nA warning followed:\n\"To hold to progress today, however, is more difficult. Dulled\nconscience, iresponsibility and ruthless self-interest already re-\napper. Such symptoms of properity may become portents of disaster;\nprosperity already tests the persistence of our progressive purpose.\"\nAnd in conclusion:\n\"In taking again the oath of office as President of the United\nStates, I assume the solemn obligation of leading the American people\nforward along the road over which they have chosen to advance.\n\"While this duty rests upon me I shall do my utmost to speak\ntheir purpose and to do their will, seeking divine guidance to help\nus each and every one to give light to them that sit in darkness and\nto guide our feet into the way of peace.\"\nIn the spirit of the closing phrases of his address, the\nPresident's day began. With members of his family, Vice President\nGarner and his cabinet officers, the chief executive first of all\nproceeded to St.John's Church, tiny and ancient, B. block from the\nWhite House.\nThere were private devotions and special prayers for his\nguidance, led by the President's old schoolmaster, the Rev.Endicott\nPeabody of Groton, Conn.\nFrom A W.

MILLER\n236 HOMEWOOD AVENUE\nWARREN, OHIO\n2/10/380\nJan. 28, 1938\nbank\nHon. Franklin D. Roosevelt,\nPresident of the United States,\nWashington, D.C.\nDear Mr. President:\ngueint\nHaving heard you announce that the door of the White House\nis open to anyone who has an idea that would help along a new\ndeal for the people of our country (and perhaps the whole world),\nand taking forgranted that such an invitation also applies to\nyour mail-box, for the reception and consideration of a suggestion\nInno\nmade in writing, I venture this missive.\nIt may be that I have been one of your most severe critics,\nafter having looked forward to your first election, as president,\nfor the attainment of a new deal for all those who seek to be\nrighteous, but I have notived, according to newspaper reports,\nthat another new deal is being considered and so I again enter-\ntain some hope that a new deal will be revealed that will satisfy\nthe masses. Perhaps you can use some suggestions from my book,\n\"The Gift of Grandeur,\" copy of which I forward under separate\ncover. You may regard it as a birthday gift, if it pleases you\nto do SO. I have the idea, and have had it for several years,\nthat the best new deal of all is one that takes into consider-\nation, not only the living, but also those, now supposedly dead,\nwho sought to merit the heavenly life, - and where is there a place\nthat should be more prepared as heaven (or the first one) than\nthis earth itself? \"Thy kingdom come\" applied to the earth, as\nit is in heaven.\nWith a view to aiding a new deal, I have, as you will note\nin my book, assumed the role of the one who takes and punishes\nthe sinners, and I give some authority for assuming such a role.\nNo one who seeks to avoid sin need fear the Old Serpent, and co-\noperation might help rid the earth of sin and sinners. Sinners\nhave had enough time to mend their ways.\nSo, for a new deal, why not plan for a heaven on earth?\nAny other new deal is only a temporary remedy. A new deal for\nsuch infants as are born with infantile paralysis requires a\nstudy of sex problèms, and, after all, perhaps such plague and\nother ills, as well as the need for a new deal, were inflicted\non mankind on account of sexual and other sins.\n00\nin\nfaid\nMONROE E. MILLER\n236 HOMEWOOD AVENUE\nWARREN, OHIO\n-2-\nAs for my book, please read it in the right light, if you\nfind it of interest. I am not satanically satirical for no good\nreason at all. Sooner or later all sinners will bremble. Perhaps,\nto go farther, there would be no sinners if mankind knew what sin\nled to. It may be worse than the way of the cross or being cruc-\nified. Moreover, I did not criticise, without cause, the idol of\nChristians, and, in criticising the head of one great Christian\nChurch, in such book, I referred to the titles that he was given,\nand not to his pleasing personálity or to his efforts to do good.\nNo one should be called Holy Father who is not God himself.\nReminded of Proverbs 3:27, I offer my hand for whatever good\nI may be able to do, and I hope to add to your birthday annivers-\nary joys, and to the joys of all afflicted with infantile paraly-\nsis, or any other ailments, who seek the paths of righteousness.\nNo man was ever made to sin, nor did anyone ever have a monopoly\non will-power.\nYours very truly,\nMomor Shiller\nP.S.
