nost in his planning, and forth- xi-ith declared that “this nation ‘asks for action, and action now"- and proceeded to act accordingly.

After quick confirmation oi his cabinet a few hours after the in- luguratlon Saturday, he today summoned the new congress into session for Thursday and it was indicated a decree closing all banks ‘ until March l3 and banning gold‘ exportswas to be expected Mon- day.

To the gala inaugural ceremonies, he gave himself with the usual smiling facility. But the while, too, l he was making ready for the stu- pendous trials impending.

In his inaugural address he avowed determination to iced tile “army of people" as though to voo- quish enemies oi war. There was no doubt the legislators had been impressed by the Democratic Roosevelt's forthright declaration the times must be considered like times oi war, and. that he intended to seek any drastic executive pow-
