Individually, I do not quite understand why the administration should I SAS ES sagas y? been different now. As I remember, I commented at that time upon the new Presidentat-sremark. Subsequently, I called tention to the conditions of administration policy under the New Deal that were necessarily causing continuation of that fear of fear instead of calming the- nation s nerves. As Mr. Roosevelt closes his term and begins his second tenure, I believe it is entirely proper again to advert to his. significant and truthful observation of 1933. We can look at this picture only in retrospect, regrettable as it is that we cannot see into the future. It would then seem to be an entirely permissible thing to do to examine the basis of Mr. Roosevelts observation and see what has been done to correct the condition about which he complained. I shall not attempt to go into the various phases of the four-yeterm. Indeed, I think it is neither advisable nor necessary to analyze conditions beyond those that are basic, fundamental, in our national economic and political structure. For that reason, and because of recent developments of administrative policy, I am writing something about money hi this report to you. The Scripture quotation is: The love of money is the root of all evil." In treating of the subject of money from our practical standpoint, the love of money takes on quite an unusual definition. For, may I point out in candor, there never has been a national administration, so far as my research goes, that has so thoroughly loved the spending of money. I believe Mr. Roosevelt himself enjoys it but Mr. Roosevelt is not the chief offender of his administration in this regard. The two men whose records stand out with an absurd willingness to throw money around as I used to throw pebbles when I was a boy on a Missouri farm are Harry Hopkins, Works Progress administrator, and Secretary Wallace, of the Department ef Agriculture, I am quite convinced that Mr. Hopkins is the worse of the two. My conclusion is based on a conviction that Mr. Hopkins s the more wasteful. I am afraid that when the history of this great depression is set down in the cold light of facts as they will appear a quarter of a century from now, Mr. Hopkins will have a place in that spotlight that will not do credit to the hundreds of people who have the real welfare of the poor at heart.
