ROOSEVELT STATES
NEW DEAL IS TO BE
PERMANENTNOWON
(By The Associated Press)
WARM SPRINGS, Georgia, Nov. 19—President Roose
velt, with the pronouncement that all is well and that the
New Deal is progressing in line with the present program
particularly for cheaper power, settled down here for his
Thanksgiving visit.
He said yesterday in two significant talks, that the New
Deal is permanent. He called for the cooperation from the
known obstructionists, although few in number, and ex
pressed confidence that “we are coming back.”
The experiment for cheaper power and human reha
bilitation in the Tennessee Valley, he said, “Is going to be
copied by every State in the Union, before we get thru.”
This was interpreted to mean that Roosevelt in his talk
at Tupelo, Mississippi, endorsed the municipal power plants
such as exists there and gave an ultimatum to private power
' companies to cooperate for cheaper power rates.
