(President Franklin D Roosevelt's Speech) "The most far reaching and the most inclusive problem of all, is that of unemployment and the lack of economic balance of which unemployment is at once the result and the symptom. The immediate question of adequate relief for the needy unemployed who are capable of performing useful work, I shall discuss with the congress during the coming months. To that, that broader task of preventing unemployment is a matter of long range evolutionary policies and to it we must continue to give our best forward efforts. The statute of the NRA has been outlawed the problems have not, they're still with us. Means must be found to adapt our legal forms and our judicial interpretation to the actual present national needs of the largest progressive democracy in the modern world. The judicial branch also is asked by the people to do its part in making democracy successful. We do not ask the cost to call nonexistent powers into being, but we have a right to expect that conceded powers or those legitimately implied shall be made effective instruments for the common good. The process of our democracy must not be imperiled by the denial of a central powers of free government. Your task and mine is not ending with the end of the depression. The people of the United States have made it clear that they expect us to continue our active effort in behalf of their peaceful advancement. In that spirit of endeavor and service, I greet the 75th Congress of the United States at the beginning of this auspicious New Year".
