I shall." he said, "move to organise a body representative of business, economics, labor and agriculture to undertake it. "I do believe that our experi ence shows that we can produce helpful and wholesome effects in our economic system by voluntary cooperation through the great as sociations representative of bust ness, Industry, labor and agricul ture, both nationally and iocauy. "And it is my view that in this field of cooperative action outside of government lies the hope of intelligent information and wise planning, the government can be helnful in emergency, it can be helpful to secure and spread in formation." Difficulties Not Yet Entirely Passed, Word The president warned, however, that any such action "must adhere steadfastly to the very bones of our economic system, which are the framework of progress." "We are not yet entirely through the difficulties of our sit uation," he added. "We have need to maintain every agency and every force that we have placed in motion until we are far along on the road to stable pros perity. "He would be a rash man who would state that we can produce the economic millenium, but there is great assurance that America is finding herself upon the road to secure social satisfac tion, with the preservation of pri vate industry, initiative and a full opportunity for the development of the individual."
