VIEWS ON RELIEF Tells Women’s Clubs Leader Nation Must Unite to End Suffering. @y the Associated Press. Mrs. Herbert Hoover does not grant interviews, but her idea on the unem- ployment emergency—war-time ways #r peace-time needs—was voiced in the | AJubwoman, issued today, through Mrs. ¥&hn P. Sippel, president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Sippel set down curring in talking with Mrs. Hoover the other day on economic conditions throughout the world.” She made the conference in the White House the basis for an appeal to clubwomen “not only to do our share in the present crisis, but to be more ready to;meet peace-time emcr- gencies.” Knows Problems Well. The article was given point here by ‘Washington’s knowledge of Mrs. Hoo- ver's intimate acquaintance both with the public welfare machinery of the World War and with the present unem- ployment, situation. Mrs. Hoover was in the thick of things when the Herbert Hoover food conservation ideas went from Washing- ton into every part of the country through the work of volunteer groups. She. it is who now recejves the Na- tion’s tales of woe. In a peculiar way the problems of the American people are ever poured upon the President’s wife, perhaps becausg she is often pic- tured in the role of Lady Bountiful. Mrs. Sippel pictured Mrs. Hoover's idea on relief as follows: An America “more keenly alert to the needs of the people in our com- munities.” “‘Organized social groups marshaling forces to meet emergencies which may arise during the coming months in an effort to prevent want from lack of em- ployment. or from other causes, just as :e met emergencies in the years of the val Points 10 Responsibilities. “Those in distress reileved by which- ever group—visiting nurses, playground association, family service societies, parent - teacher associations, etc.—is there to help them “Great organizations taking on, not only responsibility for the coming sea- £on of distress, but responsibility for re- lieving suffering year after year.” The article pointed out that many people do not know how to reach out for assistance to societies organized to help them. The example cited was the organizations for preventjon and con- trol of tuberculosis—a subject close to Mrs. Hoover's heart, her own son hav- ing benefited by prompt treatment. It was urged that those who need it be put in touch with “trained workers who recognize the signs of that dread dis- ease before it has often a real grip.” By such community co-operation, the article said, “we could help largely to prevent the circumstances of having in our midst undernourished children, girls and boys who could not go to school for lack u( clothing, old men and ‘women in need To the women of the land the Mrs. Hoover-Sippel _conversation put _the question: “While the financial stress in such times seems overwhelming, would not the humanizing touch of those in- terested help in keeping up the morale?"

Flat fallure of President Hoover’s ef- forts to lead the Nation out of depres- sion was charged yesterday by Repre- sentative Nelson, Democrat, Missouri, attacking the recent speeches by Re- publican spokesmen. Nelson, in a state- ment issued through the Democratic Nll.lnnAl Committes, sald the President is “strangely silent” on recent acts of the Farm Board and the presidential veto of the Wagner unemployment bill. James L. West, publicity director of the Republican National Committee, was taken to task by Nelson for a re- | cent address at Sedalia, Mo., on Lhc‘ Preident’s endeavors to_combat-the de- | ~|pression - and relieve - unempl nt. | Describing West as the "sz mouthpiece,” the Missourian added: ! “These efforts have not—as far as has been able to observe— helped business or prevented unemploy- | ment from increasing steadily until l” now has reached an tppll g figure | unparalleled in our history. Assalling another lmnlnn of West | that the depression is due to the | “inevitable backwash of the Great War,” Nelson blamed reduction of operating schedules of industry on the Hawley- Smoot tariff act, saying foreign nations had gone elsewhere for their goods. “‘The backwash of the Great War’'" | he continued, “has no more to do 'flh\ this subtraction from American industry | than with the financing by the Repub- | lican party of the intolerance phase of | the 1928 campaign.” FACULTY PROMOTIONS AT G.
