President Roosevelt Voices Appeal Of
Administration For Nation Help Relief
fBy The Associated Press)
Washington, Oct. 25, —
President Roosevelt told the
nation that relief “furnished
by funds received from taxa
tion should decrease as rapid
ly as human needs will al
low,” in appealing over the
radio to the nation to parti
cipate in the 1935 mobiliza
tion of human needs.
The president reported pri
vate industry “was taking up
the slack” of unemployment.
He asserted that the Septem
ber employment gain was
three hundred and fifty thou
sand, according to private in
dustries’ reports to the De
partment of Labor—“the lar
gest of any single month in
the past year and a half.”
But the pickup, the presi
dent said is all the more rea
son to give charity, in addi
tion to decreasing govern
ment relief.
The executive said it was
of greater importance to pri
vate charity, that they should
take over the duty complete
ly of providing means for
those physically unable to
work, “but we do not want
to emphasize that work, neith
er private charity nor govern
ment relief wants to help
people who can work, but
who won’t work. There’s on
ly one legitimate excuse for
unwillingness to work and
that’s bad health or advanc
ed age.”
Speaking from Detroit on
the same radio program Ger
ald Swope, chairman of the
mobilization suggested “good
neighbor” policies as the key
note of the drive to raise se
venty-five million dollars for
private relief agencies.

the day when he meets Louis,
he told members of the De

Braddock’s manager, said the

hard knocks in his life, “in

would retain his title, “Louis
or no Louis.”
