US Presidency
1932

His real interest in the Nation's children may be gained by his re corded effort to emasculate and disrupt the Children's Bureau. The bunk of the Home Loan Bank. Governor Roosevelt implies his endorsement of these calumnies by repeating these implications in his speeches when he speaks of what he calls .. attempts that have been made to cut appropriations for child welfare. And again when he states that: the United States Public Health Service has said that over 6 million of our public school children have not enough to eat; many of them are fainting at their desks; they are the prey of disease; and their future health is menaced. In another speech he uttered a slur on the Home Loan Banking System created by this administration largely through the leadership of your Senator. These things have importance only as indicating the desperate attempts to mislead the American voter. No woman in the United States believes that I am called upon to defend my interest in children over the past score of years.
