One swallow does not make s summer nor does one statement, even though from a high official, make a condltlot absolute. .. . But one state- Keltef meat from a high Problem official under the present New Deal relief setup comes rather close to disclosing - the transcendent im portance of the nation's relief problem prob-lem In American economy at this time. I refer to the recent testimony by Harry A Hopkins, Works Progress Administrator snd professional reliever, re-liever, before the bouse committee on appropriations. He told that group a few days ago that 8,853,000 heads of famines or unattached persons per-sons were receiving a livelihood for themselves and their families from the federal government on March first of this year. If this be true, snd it can hardly be disproved, there are nearly fifteen million persons dependent entirely upon Federal as slstance. And the condition appears even worse when It la shown that about ten million others are receiving receiv-ing assistance from state, , county and city relief or charitable organizations. organ-izations. In short, the Hokplns testimony tes-timony reveals that about 20 per cent of all of our people are living on relief money. These figures are astounding? They are mads the mors amaxlng when one considers' that ths condition condi-tion exists area after ths New Deal has expended approximately twenty-one billions In Its three years of government management, ths bulk of ths outgo being directly chargeable to what Mr. Roosevelt has consistently 'maintained was an emergency. I have reported to you Intermittently Intermit-tently heretofore tbs various stsges through which Reliever Hopkins has gone In search for means to solve the- relief problem. I hsvs been among those observers here who have felt that even though Mr. Hopkins lacks practical experience In commercial Ufa and even though be casts aside every consideration except those Inherent In the mind of a man who has devoted his life professionally to relief work, that ha should bs given time to solve the problem, It seems to me, how ever, that be has had ample time to find the answer if he is going to provide a solution. Neither he nor President Roosevelt has given any Indication yet that they know the snswer or even hsve a clew to It The net result of their efforts to date has been the expenditure of money la-unprecedented amounts and ths piling up of a debt, the like of which this country never has known. Mr. Hopkins has gone about his Job smugly snd with that apparent complacency that characterizes the official who is convinced that he alone is equipped to do a particu lar Job. By his attitude, he has created In congress a feeling that he thinks be is a superior being. and if anything makes a congressman- hot under the collar, it is to see a member of the executive branch exhibit a pose that the con gressmen are dumbbells, some of them are, of course, but that Is not true of all and it is fast doing Mr. Hopkins no good at all to show ar rogance toward the men who go out and campaign directly for the votes of the people. I jiald that the relief problem was of transcendent importance In ... . governmental af- Vtnonary fairs at This Uroe. Policy This la true be-canae be-canae I believe the conviction is growing that the whole New Deal policy on relief Is Impractical and visionary; that, It is founded upon a wrong psychology; psychol-ogy; that It is creating in this nation na-tion the greatest mass of panhandlers panhand-lers snd "the world owes me a living" liv-ing" type or class of Individuals that has ever existed anywhere and that, In addition ths men who are doing the Job for the federal government gov-ernment lack the ability to understand under-stand its whole significance. As proof of the observations I have Just stated, let me point out how the demands for vast expenditures expendi-tures of money and wholesale methods of relief for the destitute bsve subsided In congress. Time was when a half dozen so-calfed welfare workers, college professors or organization leaders could get a hearing by the simple crook of a finger before a congressional committee. com-mittee. Such men as Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, and Senator Costlgan of Colorado, and the, late Senator Cutting of New Mexico, to mention only a few, would weep salty'tears In senate speeches; tbey would call for ten billions for this and five billions for that and other' ?rovIde for the prohlftn, I hsve a hunch that the silence of such men as those .through -the last year can menn only that tfiey were off on the wrong foot Tliey cannot help but realize that their Bruckirt WMhlastoa, D. C theories were all wet because Mr.. Hopkins certainly bss disproved the value of their plans. Another Indication of how congress con-gress feels is the movement to dl vide the billion snd a half relief fund, which President Roosevelt asked, between Mr. Hopkins snd Public Works Administrator Ickes. The President demanded that congress con-gress give the whole fund to Mr. Hopkins. It probably will work out that way eventually but tbs feeling against Mr. Hopkins cannot be denied. de-nied. It Is violent and only a small part of It has come to the surface. The congressmen cquld not afford to see the flow of money cut off In so election year so tbey maneuvered to spank Mr. Hopkins by seeking to give a portion of the money to Mr. Ickes. Now, It is currently rumored that Mr. Ickes, who never has liked Mr. Hopkins, has done some lobbying In the fine underground manner of which he is capable. He sincerely believes that ths use of funds In ths construction of permanent things like buildings, roads snd bridges gives the- government and taxpayers taxpay-ers st least something for their money. But be that as it may, tbs ground swell sgalnst Mr. Hopkins is very powerful and If Mr. Hopkins Hop-kins possessed sny understanding of ths science of the times ha would see It Thus far he has given no Indication In-dication that bs understands what It means. Where will it all end) The answer to this relief proo-lem proo-lem is not now IVnars near enough to th Answer? bazard a guess. " Let as go back for a brief review. When President Roosevelt took hold of the relief problem early In his administration, bs advanced two theories. They were to solve our problems and solve them quickly. Hs urged the NRA and the PWA, which with the AAA, formed the first battalion of the alphabetical army. Tbs NRA was designed to regiment business and Indirectly force reemployment by the shortening of hours and the spread of work. The PWA waa to provide s lot of construction Jobs immediately, giving work to those not absorbed tn private commerce and industry and thus take up the Slack until buying power of Individ uals had been restored. By November, 1933, It became quite evident to unbiased observers that NRA and PWA were falling short of the mark. So, out of the Presidential hat came the CWA. Congress promptly provided funds so the Civil Works administration and here is where professional reliever, re-liever, Mr. Hopkins, came on ths scene co ild hire such unemployed as had not been absorbed by PWA or had not been restored to Jobs In commerce and Industry by NRA. It was not long until CWA was as much In disrepute as the original orig-inal schemes for providing employment employ-ment I believe It was in even greater disrepute because ordinary citizens could see the utter waste snd the reckless expenditures of money occurring under CWA for Its relief raking and stone gathering and other nonsensical Job-creating results. CWA went the way of any unsound proposition. Forward then came FERA. It was a proposition of emergency relief. Washington writers were deluged with speeches and statements that none should be allowed to starve. Thsjffilgotj, of the treasury were opened wide and $4,830,000,000 gushed forth. In every section of the country, federal money was distributed dis-tributed and distributors In Washington Wash-ington were none too careful of how they passed it out In parallel lines with FERA. the politicians formed to the right They saw the money and from precinct to pinnacle pin-nacle of politics, tbey were on the Job snd they have been on the Job ever since. Last year ttye President became convinced that. there was too much waste; that FERA Too Much was building up a Waste clientele of millions mil-lions who were saying, both publicly and privately, that it was no use to work when the government would feed them and he ordered a quick change In course. With this change In course came a locking of boms between Messrs. Hopkins and Ickes. Mr. Ickes was licked by the simple expedient of a new federal agency. Bounding forth came Mr. Hopkins' own brain child, WPA. While It stands for Works Progress administration, a different name, the Initials, to those who have studied the situation, spell FEllA snd CWA combined. The President announced to the country that "this business of relief re-lief must end." Those who could not be employed ' must be taken care of by the states and local governments gov-ernments and those who were employable em-ployable would be taken off relief nut. tney must tio worlt for the funds which the federal government passed out to them.
