In view of lack of information on how the publican nominee proposes to bring about at good wages,” of Representative William B bama on what actually has been that end by the present Administration gressman said: The spectacle of 15,000,000 or more em- ployable people in this country without funds, without work, and without a chance to earn a livelihood was one of the grave problems to confront this country asfew years ago. It was no time to preach musty dogmas about the responsibility of local taxing units and private charity to care for these unfortunate people. The only agency in the country big enough to meet the emergency and do the job was the Federal government and we proceed- ed to the task without shirking Under this administration, Congress has enacted a whole series of measures to help the destitute and the unemployed but, of course, the outstanding measure was the $4,800,000,000 relief bill. The purpose of that great measure was to end the dole, to end the practice-of handing grocery slips -to menh and women who wanted work, and to make cer- tain that in return for funds expended the country got a construction program of needed public works. The policy embraced in the Work-Relief Act is now the subject of spirited controversy and it is not my purpose to ex- plore at this time the reasons which impelled us to adopt the policy which we did But there are two outstanding things for us to remember about the Work-Relief Act. The first Is that it provided employment for millions of men and women in the great cities and centers of population where they needed work. I think it is to the lasting credit of the President and Congress that we got through the greatest depression in the Na- tion’s history with a minimum of civil dis- orders and industrial disturbances. The spirt of the country was on a high plane because men and women were given sumething to do. There were no idle mobs of men and women congregating in city squares and on street corners to brood over their fate and to give the needed spark for those unfortunate street riots and disorders which bave happened all too frequently in the past The work-relief program, also has helped hundreds of municipalities 'and itowns from going into bankruptey., It ;hay helped them carry on neéded’ improvements and necessary civic work at a, time when the cities were unable to perform such work for themselves. No one who knows the record need be ashamed of what the works program has accomplished and in this connection it is well to remember Bankhead of that it was unanimously approved by the United States conference of mayors. Another great factor in promoting re- covery has been the fine program of pub- lic works authorized by Congress for the country as a whole. As we go about the coumry we are impressed by the fact Re- “real work it is interesting to read the remarks Ala- omplished toward |indicated their aim, The Con-|In puzzling. have ‘beenn- made a thousand one, years,|names are not things.

This is an auspicious configura- tion for building plans for carry- ing out ambitious enterprises. Commerce should improve suddenly next month. Death of a national leader is prog- nosticated. Editors will close their careers and many older persons who have been much in the public eye will die before election day, a Lon- don astrologer prophesies. Club women are warned that they must prepare for an eventful year that will bring them into govern- mental activities. Many reforms will engage attention. Excitement over disclosures re- vealing growth of communistic pow- er in the United States is prog-| nosticated for the early autumn when sensational activities will be! investigated in Washington.
