JORLESS ADHELD | OBLIATIONOF L. Senator Buckley, on Radio, Says Democrats Want Local Control. Democrats believe the unemployment situation is a national calamity and that the Federal Government has an obligation to help in relieving the dis- tress, Senator Bulkley, Democrat, of Ohio, declared last night in urging en- actment by Congress of the Democratic measure to appropriate $750,000,000 for unemployment relief—half for loans to States and an equal amount for road | construction. Senator Bulkley spoke during the National Radio Forum, arranged by The Washington Star and broadcast by WRC and a coast-to-coast network of associated National Broadcasting Co. stations. He cited four reasons for sponsoring _the Democratic _substitute for the La Follette-Costigan bill now be- | fore the Senate, which would set aside $375,000,000 for direct Federal relief.

Senator Bulkley also praised the ef- | forts of Senators La Follette, Republi- can, of Wisconsin and Costigan, Dem erat, of Colorado in showing the nece: ity for Federal aid and expressed a Dope that they would see the “futility” « supporting their measure and turn a=.that drafted by Democratic leade P “he text of Senator Bulkley's address agows Yhere is pending in the United States ate a bill presented by Senators La &;}IO[TP of Wisconsin and Costigan of | orado to provide for co-operation by | <he Federal Government in relieving the hardship and suffering caused by unem- ployment.

Favors Road Building. Of course, the true remedy for un-| employment ' is employment. The sub- stitute bill recognizes this by setting up a greatly expanded program of road construction, making Federal contribu- tions to the States for this p\nposci without requiring that they be matched | v State appropriations, and providing | that the work on highways thereby au- thorized shall be done in such manner as to use the maximum of human laber consistent with e and further providing that those now unemployed | chall be given preference in employ- | ment on such work.

It is obvious that the soundness of this proposed step, which is nothing more than making presently eflective & policy already declared and established in Federal law, will be strenuously at- tacked from two opposite directions. It will be contended that the expenditure of $375,000,000, even spread over a pe- riod of 18 months, will be an impossible strain upon the resources of the Fed- eral Treasury, and that it will be diffi- cult for the ‘Government even by the sale of bonds to realize the funds nec- essary to carry out the program now proposed. It may well be admitted that eral Government is to be deplored and that at the present time it is sufficiently difficult, even with the greatest to avoid a substantial deficit. be remembered, howeve: a sound distinction between expendi- tures for current expenses of Govern- ment, on the cne hand, and on the other hand expenditures for capita im- such as the highway pro- gram contemplates, Regarded as Assets. The present method of bookkeeping at the Treasury is such that the stated deficit will be enhanced by the amount spent upon th proposed road pro- gram. But the consoling fact remains that, however the Treasury books may be kept, the highways constructed will Temain as a valuable asset to the peo- ple for many vears after their cost may have been written off by the 1t should t in the operations of the Ped- | nomy, | that there is | for such applications in the future, and to that extent it will not result in direct ! decrease in the number now being cared for.

And besides there must still be a shortage of jobs for months to come. The need of greatly increased sums' to provide direct relief, and the danger | that such necessary amounts will not be secured through private or other local charity, or even State aid, has been abundantly demonstrated. ‘We believe. well justified the conclu- sion as to the extent of the emergency reached by Senators La Follette and Costigan and their committee, and sup- ported by the testimony of many reputable and well informed witnesses ! both before the committee and by correspondence. While we would not wish to discourag: or hamper any State or local effort made to meet the de- plorable conditions, we believe it is clearly shown to b2 unsafe to rest the whole situation on th: outcome of such efforts. The service performed by Sen- ators La Follctle and Costigan In as- sembling this important testimony and making the whole country conscious of | the dangers of the situations, is a notable one which will not be fcrgotten. It is much to be regretted that the able Senators whose splendid efforts have focus:d the country'’s attention upon this vital subject, which so well | deserves attention, should have insisted | upon making available the necessary relief in a manner contrary to the best American principles. Though we dis- agree with the method they propose, we think they should be commenced for the diligence and wbility with which they have assembled the mass of evi- dence which so clearly shows the | serlousness of our situation, and they | also deserve full credit for complete | sincerity in their beli>f that a new Fed- eral board, with the assistance of the Children’s Bureau, would be capable of instructing and leading into oetter methods all of the tried and experienced | State and local charitable welfare ad- mindstrations in the lind. Differs on Administration. No doubt thes: distinguished Senators | will have considerable support among sincere and well informed people for the view which they have expressed that our efforts to provide by a substitute bill for what we believe to be more sound and acceptable principles repre- sent nothing more than quibbling over technicalities. On our side we cannot admit that the differences are technical. To us it seems vital that the principles of local responsibility for direct relief and local authority in its administration must be preserved. There are Senators who sincerely de- sire to make Federal funds available | for this extreme emergency, who, never- theless, will not vote for the out-right gift provided in the La Follette-Costi- gan bill, believing as they do that it extends practically no help to the needy, but only finances a relaxation of local effort to perform & local duty. There are also Senators who can never | bring themselves to believe that a Fed- | eral Board should be empowered, as |it would be by the La Follette-Costi- | gan bill. to withhold relief from th starving in some locality because such | | board might disapprove the manner in which local agencies might function. | And there are many who believe so far in the sincerity of the President’s | reiterated statements in_opposition to Federal gifts for direct relief as to think |1t is a foregone conclusion that the | La Follette-Castigan bill as presented to the Senate must necessarily e- |toed.

The best opinion of politicians about ex-Gov. Smith’s action is that he does not expect the nomination himself, that by virtue of being the titular leader of the party he prcposes to take a strong hand in the coming convention both as respects nominee and platform, that for the furtherance of this purpose Smith hopes his friends will elect as many delegates as possible who will fol low Smith’s leadership, and finally that Smith is opposed to the nomination going to Gov. Roosevelt of New York, the last point is not put in words by Smith, but practically everybody at- tributes that position to him. As to whether Smiths present action | will prevent the nomination of Rocse- velt, the prevailing opinion s it will. By reason of the franchise Smith now gives to his friends, many delcgates will be elected favorable to Smith who other- wise would have been for Koosevelt. De- | cidedly the best qualificd judgment is that Smith's action renders impossible the nomination of either Roosevelt or | they mean the nomination of Ruoscvelt. [ lists, and he refused to Smith, and throws the neld wide open to all the other aspirants. Argument Is Convincing. The argument for this judgment Is pretty convincing. In Democratic con- ventions, one-third the delegates can vote a nomination. It is certain that Smith, with others who will co-operate with him, will have more than & third of the delegates, aud can thcreby pre- vent the nomination of Roosevelt. It is equally certain that Roosevelt will have more than a third of the dele- gates, and can_thereby prevent the nomination of Smith. From now on, according to an easily understood axiom of convention psychology, every Roqgse- velt delegate will have as his first pur- po of course, the nomination of Roosevelt. Failing that, he will have, as his second purpose, prevention of the nomination of Smith. It would seem as if Roosevelt and Smith are now both eliminated, and that the nomina- tion should go to some one of the re- maining rather large field. This is the immediate Smith’s action as of today. 10 be seen just how m: delegates will accrue to Smith as the result of his curiously worded expression of willing- ness to have delegutes elected in his behalf. It remains to be seen ju: how strong Roosevelt is. or more of w has been put behind the Roo evelt mcvement ma have gone decper than 1s now realized. It may be that many Democrats who are devoted to Smith will nevertheless be unwilling to elect delegates in Smith’s behalf for a mercly negative purpose. The test of all will come view about It remains in the primaries in the Eastern States | Hampthire on | which begin in New March 8. If in New Hampshire, Massa- chusetts and Pennsylvan:a, Roosevelt gets all or nearly all the elégates, then he will still be formidable, and Smith's action will have been largely in vain.

This wastefulness of work- ers’ time is far more than an economic loss; it must result in such dishearten- ment and impairment of self-respect as to constitute a real and irreparable moral loss to the Nation. To the extent that we succeed in justifying the increase of the public debt at this time to provide employ ment on public Works, we expose ou elves to the opposite criticism, namel that the amount proposed to be ex- pended will not be sufficient to provide employment for any considerable pro- portion of those who need it. It is no doubt true that the expenditure of 375.000,000 will not be sufficient, itself, to provide employment for all who are unemployed. Yet there can be no doubt that it will be a solution of the difficulty for many of those now idle, and no one can say how great may be the indirect benefits growing out of the increased purchasing power and moral encouragement of those who will be directly employed on the pro- posed works. It is impractical to dream of ending our unemployment crisis by any one measure, yet that should not cause us to fail in showing the courage to_do whatever will be substantially helpful. i There are limits to the possibility of planning the expenditure of vast sums on public works. and it would seem the part of wisdom to test the prac- ticability as well as the economic ef- fect of the expenditure of $375.000.000 before committing ourselves to any larger program which might unduly strain the already difficult position of the Federal Treasury. Predicts Big Benefits. The provision of a considerable amount of employment either on public or in any other manner, of course, relieves measurably the neces- sity for charitable relief to the hungry and destitute. It will diminish the numbzr of those needing relief, not only by but will take out of that to some extent, other relatives, as well as those whose business will naturally be improved by th> increased spending power of those employed. But we can- not hope that any such program will relieve the necessity for an unpre- cedented amount of help to the needy for many months to come. By no means all of the unemployed have.yet reached the stage of requiring charitable relief, an the provision of additional employm>nt may avert the necessity Indoors or Outdoors Which Are You Heating?
