Landon's speech last night . wimonight 1 want tc talk about Tfthe most urgent human problem #’that faces the American people #7.9¢"this hour. The problem of the millions of men and women of this #% dountry—our fellow citizens—who ¢ afé out of jobs, and the many more millions who are on relief. #47 7 am going to discuss our Gov- %ernment’s responsibility for the #iiprotection of these men and wom- e on relief until they can again P+'#d employment at real jobs, pay- ing the best of good wages. And at the very outset let me repeat a tigpredge I have made from Kansas to Maine. If I am elected Chief sw=Executive of this country, the Fed- , —eral budget is going to be balanced, but it is not going to be balanded at the expense of our needy unem- H loyed.

Our people want to stand on their own feet. I do not agree for a moment with those who say that a large group of our fellow citizens prefer relief to honest work. Every self-respecting American wants a recovery that will bring real jobs at real pay. We all know that his type is the only final solu- tion to the relief problem. After three years it must be ob- vious to every one that waste and extravagance do not make jobs. Cracking down on business and arousing class hatreds do not re- store employment. Recovery and re-employment will never come while honest business is forced to tip-toe through a series of breath- ing spells. The way to recovery is for the Government to stop trying to run the lives of 130,000,000 people. If the Government will do this, if it will give American {nitiative a practical, clear-headed planning. What a record for an administra- tion that wants to arrange the de- tails of the entire economic life of our people. After nearly four years this ad- ministration should have definite ideas on how to meet the relief problem. But it must be obvious to every one that it has none. Look at its record. In the Spring of 1933 an elabo- rate program was started. The F. E. R. A. was to help the States take care of actual need. The Public Works Administration’ and the N. R. A. were to provide work for millions. But by the time Au- tumn came around it was dis- covered that these plans had falled. And so another alphabetical agency was set up, the C. W, A, It ran for just four months, For the next 10 months the ad- ministration wént back to the old F. E. R. A, Then in January, 1935, the President told Congress: STAR, WASHINGTON and W. P. A. And so it has gone, men and women have been shifted from home relief, to work relief, and back to home reliel again. The plain fact of ‘the matter is they still don't know where they stand. 'All they know is they are in’ the grip of their political ex- ploiters. In this piling of program upon program there has been no prog- ress whatsoever. Men are still Jooking in vain for an effective plan of relief. Instead of getting that, there has been more red tape, and more politics. ‘This probably explains why the administration has deliberately kept the country in the dark. It has consistently refused to make available clear and adequate fig- ures on the use of relief funds. Even our Federal and State legis- lative bodies cannot get their ques- tions answered satisfactorily. Last Spring, the Pennsylvania State Senate appointed & commit- tee to investigate relief. At once, the non-political director of the W. P. A. instructed employes not to answer questions. . Next, the Department of Justice furnished lawyers to all the witnesses to help them carry out that order. Finally, an Assistant Attorney General ap- peared in person and obtained an injunction against the committee to prevent a highly proper investi- D. .C,. . TUESDAY, .OCTOBER 13, 1936. gstion. This is an incredibdle thing in free America. What figures have been ‘made public are strangely contradictory. For example, in May, 1933, the average cost of each relief casé was $15.15 & month. Twenty months later the cost had doubled. It was $30.45 per month. But why the cost doubled, they won't tell us. We are told that in 1935, the cost per case for relief in Nevada was $866 & year, while in the nearby State of Idaho it was only $454. Why? They won't tell us. We are told that under the P. Ii. R. A. the cost of administration— the overhead—in South Carolina was 18 per cent. But in Vermont it was only 5% per cent. Why? They won't tell us. 1t is time we demanded an an- swer. On January 3, 1934, the Presi- dent told Congress: “If we main- tain the course I have outlined, ‘we can confidently look forward to greater employment and a diminu- tion of relief expenser.” We did maintain the course he outlined, but did we get any reduc- tion of relief expenses? We did not. At present the administration is spending in the name of relief at an annusal rate of & billion and & Dbalf more than in 1934 And yet, less than two weeks ago in Pittsburgh the President- told us that we have had a more rapid re- covery than even he had antici- (8ee TEXT, Page A-9.)

And we have the duty of doing every- thing within our power to assist real recovery. That means to get real jobs for the unemployed. In both these duties the present administration has record of mis- erable failure. Reliet Money Devoted To Building Party Machine. .

But even that is not the worst that has happened under this ad- ministration. They may call it reform, they may call it national planning, but the ugly fact is the members of this administration have condemned one-sixth of our people to live in a separate eco- nomic world of their own. Isolated from the main stream of our na- tional life, they have been cata- logued, registered, regimented and controlled by a Federal bureau- cracy which promises them no fu- ture. All that they can hope for is the bare necessities of life. In this separate world they are de- prived of the hope and opportu- nity that is their birthright. Duty to Help Them Back to Independence.

Loss of Opportunity Held Theory of Despair. ‘We refuse to believe these mem- bers of this administration who say this Nation has passed its last frontier of opportunity — those prophets of despair who eclaim that never again will there be work in this country for every- body. This doctrine of despair has been preached time and time before. Always it has been given the lie by the inventiveness, the energy and the self-reliance of the American people. There is still work to be done in this country— plenty of work—far more than planners in Washington realize, or can ever provide. Common sense tells us-that com- plete re-employment cannot take place overnight. Our sense of duty tells us that until there are Jobs for all we must provide relief. Unlike the administration, how- ever, I view relief as a temporary Pproblem. The first step toward solving it is to forget about politics and fix our attention upon the needs of the unemployed. Everybody knows there is too much politics in relief. This has become a national scandal. The evidence of this playing of politics has been supported by gocumented and sworn testimony, published in every part of the land. It is & disgrace to the administration. It is more than that. It is a humilia- tion to the American people. I am dedicated to the proposition that henceforth no American citizen shall ever again be put in the po- sition where he has to sell his vote for bread. Relief Used as Vehicle To Ride Pet Theories and Fads. Now I am going to discuss the flagrant mismanagement of re- lief by this administration. It has diverted hundreds of millions of . dollars intended for relief to non- relief purposes. It has used relief as an experimental playground for every foolish fad and pet theory that came along. The whole pro~ gram has lacked - any sound, Get the jump on higher winter pr “The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of re- lief. I am not willing that the vitality of our people be further sapped by the giving of cash, of market baskets, of a few hours of weekly work, cutting grass, raking leaves, or picking up papers in the public parks.” He, therefore, asked Congress for & blank check of $4,- 880,000,000 to start a new pro- gram—the so-called program of work relief. So in May, 1935, the W. P. A. was introduced, and for the next few months we had both F. E. R.
