Presidenl Asks New Legislation in Message To Congress
WASHINGTON. Nov. 15— (HE)—
President Roosevelt warned congress today that there has been a “marked” industrial recession and proposed that it be combatted by quick action on his legislative program and by revising tax laws, particularly to aid small business men but also to remove inequalities to all.
He said in a message to the legislators as they assembled in special session that the business decline has not reached “serious proportions” and cautioned that with the exercise «f "ordinary prudence” there is no reason why “we should

Campaign Today
IN PHILOSOPHY FORUM
“Religion is the most natural vehicle for the expression of the higher emotions,” said Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director of the school of philosophy, in commenting on “The Significance of Religion,” the lecture he will give this afternoon at 4:15 in the Bowne room. Mudd Memorial hall of philosophy.
This lecture is the third in a * called “The Survival of the
series,
West.”
‘‘Pear has been incorrectly taken as a source of religion,” stated Dr. Flewelling. “The true source is awe and reverence for that which we think is greater than ourselves,” he continued, “because fear is psychologically an inhibition and has no power to create religion.”
The lecturer contends that religion rids the human spirit of con-flictive influences of fear and makes it conscious of a new freedom in which it can find loving self-expression. He explained that it is exactly in this release from fear and inhibitions that religion becomes the greatest inspirer of the creative imagination. Dr. Flewelling

But, the chief executive emphasized. the slump has had the effect of decreasing the national income—“and that is a matter of definite concern.” The immediate task is to try to increase employment by the use of private capital, he said, adding:
“Obviously, government cannot let nature take its course without regard to consequences. If private enterprise does not respond, government must take up the slack.” He appealed to congress and the nation as a whole to cooperate.
Mr. Roosevelt reaffirmed his determination to balance the 1938-39 budget and insisted that while | there should be revision of the tax | laws there should be none which

“Perhaps the best evidence that man has found to show that fear is not a source of religion, is the fact that religion has inspired the best and most enduring art,” continued the director. “Religion provides for wide understanding and general communication of ideals,” he concluded.
