If tu be true, and It can hardly be millproved, there are nearly fifteen ion persons dependent directly upon federal assistance. And the condition Is shown appean even worse when it feat about ten million others are receiving assistance from state, county and city relief or charitable organizations. In short, the Hopkins testimony reveal that about twenty per cent of all of our people are living on relief na-'tto- appro--flfHn- C oney. These figures are astounding. They are made the more amazing when one considers that the condition exists even after the New Deal has expended apbillions In Its proximately twenty-on- e three years of government management, the bulk of the outgo being directly chargeable to what Mr. Roosevelt has consistently maintained was in emergency. I have reported to you Intermittent lj heretofore the various stages through which Reliever Hopkins has gone in his search for means to solve tbs relief problem.

It seems to me, however, that he has had ample time to find .the answer If he la ever going to provide a solution. Neither be nor President Roosevelt has given any Indication yet that they know the answer or even have a clew to It The net result of their efforts to date has been the expenditure of money In unprecedented amounts and the piling up of a debt, the like of which this country never has known. Mr. Hopkins has gone about hla Job smugly and wltb that apparent complacency that characterizes the official who is convinced that he alone Is equipped to do a Ms attitude, he has particular Job.

It probably will work out that way eventually but the feeling agulnst Mr. Hopkins cannot be denied. It Is violent and only a small pnrt of It has come to the surface. The congressmen could not afford to see the flow of money cut off in an election year so they maneuvered to spank Mr. Hopkins by seeking to give a portion of the money to Mr. lekes. Now, It Is currently rumored that Mr. lekes, who never has liked Mr. Hopkins, has done some lobbying In the fine underground niunner of which he Is cnimble. He sincerely believes that the use of funds In the construction of permanent things like buildings, roads and bridges gives the government and taxpayers ut least something for their money. But, be that as it may, the ground swell against Mr. Hop-kin- a Is very powerful and if Mr. Hop- ing the mummified remains of that lovely Egyptian princess they found the other day that daughter of some early Tharaoh, she who died nearly 5,000 years ago and yet wn still to beautifully preserved.
