The bill provides that only 40 per | ‘cent shall be distributed to the states |for relief, while the rest shall remain jas a reserve fund. This would give only $200,000,000, and even assum- ing that every cent of this is spent in actual relief, with fully 45,000,000,- unemployed workers and their de- pendents, this would giye only about $4.50. to each of these starving mil- lions.
