defective, and without permanent
foundation, and that programs to be-
come effective must be OF far reach
Ing consequences.
In the present crisis Of unemploy-
ment, business depression, and low
farm prices, the problems Of solution
are not alone national. They are in
t~ernational. To be solved 1t will take
more than the adjustment OF our
American markets, more than the
employment Of our idle people. n
more than the operation. of all OF u
places Of business.
And while as you have pointed out.
| we may give temporary relief to those
| who must need relief. we must also
| remember that philanthropy Is no
substitute for justice. A bowl OF
! soup, a meal here and there, or even
| more in the form Of donations does
| not and will not cure the evils that
| 60 with unemployment.
Since the problems confronting our
nation are Observation-Disclosures
all Of nations of the world, criticing
our president or individuals will not
| remedy the situation. We are suf-
fering, as are other peoples of the
world, from the aftermath of the
| World war.
It - going to take more than just
the cooperation Of our public spirited
| citizens Of the ~ states of the Unit
ed States to solve this world wide
problem. The entire world must CO.
operate In q real effort to make such
economic adjustments as are neces-
sary to q more permanent program
Of s~tabliSation Of business, labor and
the farm.
The same spirit, humanitarian or
otherwise, that makes us dislike to
know that we have children in the
United States, who are hungry and
without proper clothes and shelter,
should also cause Us to regret that
similar conditions exist abroad in
Europe, Asia and elsewhere.
There are millions Of people in for
eign lands, who have. come to realize,
as many In the United States realize,
that the suffering Is world wide. This
international knowledge should lead
the nations of the world around a
common table, where through an in
ternational understanding, ways and
means may be worked out 50 that the
chaos Of the world may be changed
to better times, to the employment of
the idle. to the Sterilization Of bust
ness and farming.
Any program which may succeed in
the endeavor to bring the desired re-
Lief must be formulated without
thought Of profiteering-or personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to individuals. It
must be mutual and entirely recipro-
cal In spirit and operation.
Since lately we have heard much
about the nations OF the world desir-
Ing to end war and to bring about
permanent peace. even though all the
nations continue to spend more for
war preparation than at any other
time In the history of the world, ex-
cept the World war, would 1t not be
. good plan to discontinue the larger
part of such war appropriations and
to use such, money In making internal
improvements within the respective
~nations?,
aeTe IN the UnlCeQ STATES, we spend
almost IS cents out Of every dollar
taken into our public treasury at
Washington. d. O. to maintain U
army and navy and to eliminate U
war Indebtedness. The percentage in
foreign nations equals and often sur
passes our war expenditures.
The world will never approach a
real friendly basis, in an internation-
al sense, until every nation has dis
continued the made race for military
preparedness supremacy.
Once the nations Of the world have
agreed to cut down their military
program, say IS per cent, and at the
same time agree to the use Of such
money In programs Of internal I'm
provements, such as paved highways,
public parks. bouleyards from coast
