Therefore, he consideration, does not for a moment believe that the majority which has supported him in full measure, in three national elections shares the feeling that he has exceeded his permission. Nor does he consider that the American majority expected him to have been able, in what he views as a shifting and perilous time, to chart in detail and in advance the measures he might finally employ to achieve the end stated and, as he is certain, desired by the people. Furthermore, the President by no means discards into finality a clarifying amendment as mentioned in the Democratic platform. Such an amendment, he argues, would be necessary if the problems cannot be disposed of otherwise. He takes the view that the great majority of both houses of the congress, including many Republican members, believed in passing the New Deal bills of the past four years and that these bills were constitutional. He holds, as he stated in this years annual message to the congress, that the Constitution definitely permits the congress to legislate in regard to the production of crops and the production of manufactured articles which enter generically as products into commerce between the states. It is his contention that the constitution does not forbid regulation of railroads or communication or trade practices and that, if the same rules were applied in the case of commodities of all sorts, unwieldy crop surpluses, starvation wages, and unfair trade practices could be eliminated with the objective not only of improving social conditions but also of averting future panics. If newer and younger blood in the Federal courts does not result in decisions which accord with the views of the majority of the members of the legislative branch and the views of the President, he is then wholly willing to admit that a clarifying amendment to the Constitution will be necessary.
