Show Comment On Fireside Chat BY UNITED PRESS Editorial comment on President Presi-dent Roosevelt's fireside chat: THE NEW YORK TIMES If there is work to be done, the ; sooner a start is made at it . . . The more opportunity afforded for congress to exercise its own independent judgment in assaying assay-ing and perfecting the plans of the administration, the better . . . More emphasis on the increasingly increasing-ly critical problem of balancing the national budget, and an assurance as-surance that erenerous and early consideration would be given to existing legislation which unnecessarily un-necessarily handicaps the expansion expan-sion of business, would have been welcome additions to the fireside fire-side talk ... THE NEW YORK HERALD TKIBUNJ: It will carry conviction convic-tion with those already convinced. Others will wonder whether the continued restatement of general objectives does not demand some more frequent discussion of the detailed practical method by which they are to be achieved; but such skeptics have at least learned by this time not to expect ex-pect that from the president. THE SORIPPS-HO WARD NEWSPAPERS We are glad that the extra six-week congressional congres-sional start has been provided by this call by the president . . . There has been too much bum's-rush bum's-rush legislation . . . Too little chance for study and debate on the part of those who, after all, are the law-makers . . . May it (Ithe congress) approach its tremendous tre-mendous task of writing into law the ideals of the president with a thoroughness and a sincerity and an efficiency that will bring forth not confusion of tongues and of language, but clarity and wisdom and lasting results. |
