And as governor of Washington, I had been compelled, with the approval of my state legislature, to care for the human needs of tens of thousands of the citizens of that state. Because I could get no assistance from Washington I was .compelled to create state deficits to put the state treasury into the red in order to feed the destitute and give work to the unemployed, in order to care for the thousands of people who had become dependent on New York for four years, because the state for food and shelter.

In the six years that have intervened, many of our- states, because of that help from the national government," have got back into the black again my own state of New York and your own state of Kentucky among them.
