Yet, because of the financial difficulties in which many states found themselves during the last few years, far more dependent children were receiving temporary emergency relief than were in receipt of this regular form of assistd ance. In 1934 less than the number of similar families on emergency relief were actually receiving the aid to dependent children for which they were eligible under state laws, and, less than lf the local units of government authorized to grant such aid were actually doing so. Many others were granting amounts Insufficient to protect the children inone-thir- one-ha- volved. I am hopeful, Miss Iloey de that state and local appropriations for the care of dependent children will increase rapidly now that Federal aid is available, am I would also urge those states which have not yet submitted plans for the care of dependent children to take the necessary steps so that the benefits of the Social Security act may be extended to children throughout the states and territor-is-e of the United States. Under the terms of the Social Security act the Federal government may not give assistance directly to dependent children, but grants financial assistance only to those states which have plans conforming with the provisions of the Federal act. The entire responsibility for initiating and administering aid to dependent children rests with the Miss Hoey states themselves, said.

The chamber has been meeting in Washington during the past week, vlts proceedings indicate that the business and industry represented by the chamber does not care about anything else but unbridled profits at the expense of Ametican workers and farmers. Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Uoper, the most conservative of President Roosevelts official family, appeared before the chamber and urged industry to cooperate with the administration in a program looking to the reemployment of 10 million idle men and women. The chamber reluctantly agreed to go along but attached its own terms which, stripped of their verbiage, constituted a demand for the restoration of the Old Order the order which is daddy of the very conditions which the Roosevelt administration is seeking to remedy. The profit incentive, still under attack and denounced as something reprehensible and to be held in leash by administrative regulations and penalized by statute must be recognized, and the nation must get back into full working order the American system of private enterprise. This was the ultimatum given by Harper Sibley, the chamber president, and backed by speakers whose language in attacking the New Deal was as intemperate as that of any communist soap-bo- x orator who ever attempted to inflame the passions of an audience. While denouncing the administration tax program they insisted that the budget must be balanced, and expressed no sympathy for the hungry, the needy and the unemployed. They demanded the curbing of the activities of such regulatory bodies as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. They opposed all effort by the government to safeguard the workers right to organize and to regulate wages and flours of Work. It is evident that the selfish, big business members of the chamber dictated its policies. Although their profits have been enormous under the New Deal, it seems they are not willing to pass any of it on to labor in wages. Their greed knows no limits. Hence their demands that reforms of all kinds shall be junked and that its profit incentive shall be permitted to run wild. The Utah Labor News believes that the American people will not approve the chambers destructive attitude. The people are not tirely satisfied with the workings of the New Deal, but they are too intelligent to go back to the Old Deal and the days of rugged VISIT Twaa she who knewthe joys of youth.
