I will invite them to Washington in order that the whole problem may be put on a national basis.

Several of them have written to me and stated that if they are still alive that they would not serve on such a body because they do not believe it has any constructive purpose and they do not believe there is anything to be accomplished by it.

I am today a strong exponent of the desirability of committees which are created for some specific purpose or some specific duty where there is some definite and positive goal that can be set and methods by which it can be arrived at.

I have therefore requested the Secretary of the Interior to convey this message of greetings to the Conference and to express my earnest hope that its deliberations may bear fruit in the well-being and advancement of the colored race in our country.

Item 26 is amended by deleting the words 'Form No. 39.'

The administrative officials of the Government are cooperating with the special Economy Committee in the House in a general drive to bring about very drastic economies in Federal expenditure

The loans so far undertaken to banks, trust companies, building and loan and other financial institutions, as provided in the act, amounts in round numbers to $61,800,000

The bill should accomplish two major purposes.

We can not afford to lose any ground in education

There have been discussions, as is reported, between myself and other officials of the administration with officials of the New York Stock Exchange on the question of bear raids.

This order is issued upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture.

In the present crisis the absolute necessity for the most drastic economy makes the problem of governmental reorganization one of paramount importance.

It will be necessary also to authorize changes in titles of some officials and to create a few new positions in order to permit grouping and consolidation not now possible.

The need for reorganization is obvious.

It is proposed to do this without disturbing any of the great major activities of the Government and independent agencies such as the ICC [Interstate Commerce Commission], Federal Trade, Federal Reserve, or any other major activities.

It is an economy measure, one that is long overdue.

So much of the order of July 13, 1911, creating Power-Site Reserve No. 190, as affects the lands hereinafter described, is hereby revoked:

Shaking hands with literally thousands of people in the course of a season constitutes a demand would impair proper consideration of matters of the greatest moment to the Nation.
