Chicago, May 26.—UP—The most critical days of national emergency have passed, President Roosevelt told thousands gathered tonight at the opening oC the 1934 Century of Progress Exposition.
The President transmitted an In¬ spiring message ot confldcnce through a sound picture address seen and heard in halt ,a hundred places wilhin the Fair grounds. He was cheered for several minutes.
From his lonely igloo in Little America, Hichard Ilyrd sent h|s greetings and pres.seii a key releas¬ ing an impulse thut set off a multi¬ colored tireworks display. Admiral Bird's voice boomed across 9,500 miles from the ice-bound Antarctic.
President Roosevelt lauded tho Fair as "pointing the way along that upward ii:illi on which we, as a nation. li,i\e .^i t our feet." He pressed a lii;. iii W'a.'^^hington to Il¬ luminate the fc;i'uunds into a won¬ derland of mazdas, nenns and giant rays of myriad-colored lights.
The President saw in the 1933 Fair an "inspiring demonstration ot courage and conliileiiee." and in the reopcnin.g "linw ahundanlly that courage and conlldeiue were justi¬ fied."
"Tho most critical days of a na¬ tional emergency have tor the most part passed," he said. "The un¬ sound structures have been and are bein.g torn down. A rebullil- ing trom the bottom up is ir progress."
The now World's Fair, tlie Presi¬ dent pointed oul, is the result ot a plan, ami ,i iKlinue objective. Likewise, lie .-.ml. a delinlte ob¬ jective Is being followed by those to whom have been entrusted the administration   ot   national   affair.!.
"The individual parts ot this planned program of national affairs are by no means inllexihle or In¬ fallible," ho said. "As I often have said, wo may, In some respect.^, change methods, while the objec¬ tive remains tiie same. Time and experience will determine. "
The big olijectlve, tho President said ,1s constantly before us. "It is the restoration of our national well-bein.g aiul the providing ot a grealer opportunity for hiimaiiiiy from the bottom up lo prosper und find   happiness."
lie praised llie Fair as a "dc- .-iiahle me.iiis of bringing our people into closer contact." aud in the "sliengthening of nation,il mo¬ rale." It will, he said, create a de¬ mand for the latest products of >eiejiei. ;iii(i iif in.liisliy and "add 1 ¦   (ieneral   eiijnyini nl."
