President Roosevelt
at Charity Meeting
(Coniinued from Page One)
the work that has been done, the pres
ent state of their charities activities
and their plans for the future.
His Eminence Patrick Cardinal
Hayes, Archbishop of New York, who
also addressed the closing session, told
his hearers the country must be re
constructed cm a new basis, since the
older order was “built upon a founda
tion of selfishness, unrestricted com
petition and a craving for economic
power.”
“Our able-bodied citizens," His Em
inence said, “should be assured #f t a
family wage, decent hours, safe work
ing conditions and steady work. No
one. can assert that they are beyond
the resources of the land if properly
managed. The days that face us are
days of uncertainty, of change, but
nevertheless, days of hope.”
A glowing tribute to President
Franklin D. Roosevelt was paid by
Cardinal Hayes, who invoked the
blessing of Heaven on the Chief Ex
ecutive in his address. His Eminence
said: “We are all deeply indebted to
our beloved President, who in his at
tendance at this dinner, has given us
another evidence of his strong and
abiding consecration to the public
good which has characterized his
whole life. Tonight at the close of the
first seven months of his administra
tion. the American people are proud of
him, have confidence in him, and aTe
following loyally his inspiring leader
ship out of the darkness and into a
new and better day.’ 4
“May our Heavenly Father whose
Providence watches lovingly over the
children of men, bless you abundant
ly. Mr. President, especially in view
of vour own turning in your exalted
office to the Father of Light for guid
ance and benediction. May your ser
vice to country and all mankind be as
lofty and as enduring as a Cedar of
Lebanus.”
The physical, ethical, and econom
ic aspects of the National Recovery
Act were presented to the delegates
by Postmaster-General James A. Far
ley. who outlined the various means
by which the Government is coordi
nating industry. In an address, Mr.
Farley paid tribute to Cardinal Hayes,
who was present, referring to him as
the “Cardinal of Charity,” and to His
Excellency the Most Rev. Amleto Gi
ovanni Cicopani, Apostolic Delegate to
the United States, who also attended
the session.
REV. FRANCIS E. KEENAN. S. J.,
of Brooklyn, has been named Rector
of Woodstock College, Maryland.
