I do hereby exempt Miss Annie N. Travis from the provisions thereof and continue her in the service until March 1, 1936.

All applications for allocation of funds must be in the hands of the Division of Applications and Information of the National Emergency Council not later than Thursday, September 12, 1935.

Therefore, to the American youth of all parties I submit a message of confidence—Unite and Challenge!

We must learn that many other social ills can be cured.

I believe adequate data would be made available for a thorough understanding of the complex situation confronting industry and labor.

Your task, therefore, is not only to maintain the best in your heritage, but to labor to lift from the shoulders of the American people some of the burdens that the mistakes of a past generation have placed there.

The cruel suffering of the recent depression has taught us unforgettable lessons.

I say from my heart that no man of my generation has any business to address youth unless he comes to that task not in a spirit of exultation, but in a spirit of humility.

I am hopeful that such an effort will be successful, especially in view of the definite manifestation of interest by all in the solution of these problems.

I am also hopeful that in this way we can eventually bring about a complete coordination of the Government's activities in the health field.

I am directing this Committee to include within the scope of National Youth Administration Directors its work not only health activities, but closely related welfare activities as well.

I am, therefore, creating at this time an Interdepartmental Committee to give attention to this subject.

I am instructing this Committee to assume responsibility for the appointment of special committees to be composed of physicians and other technically trained persons within the Government service to study and make recommendations…

I am confident that this procedure will facilitate the consummation of a series of appropriate cooperative agreements between the various departments of the Government.

This social security measure gives at least some protection to thirty millions of our citizens.

Today a hope of many years' standing is in large part fulfilled.

It is, in short, a law that will take care of human needs and at the same time provide for the United States an economic structure of vastly greater soundness.

We can never insure one hundred percent of the population against one hundred percent of the hazards and vicissitudes of life.
