Chicago and the 5000 men engaged in
fabr1cating materials for that building,
and the families Of all these men. and
the purveyors of food and clothing and
other necessities for these people must
be grateful for this Federal expendi-
ture. And so in equal proportion are
the benefits spread through every State
In the Union.
Workers Are Protected.
During periods Of depression 1t Is too
often the case that the worker suffers
through q reduction Of wages. Under
the Federal building program the
worker has been protected to the ut
most, and In every contract let since
the Bacon-Davis law the contractor Is
required to pay the prevailing rate for
wages. This policy has been Of 1nesti-
mable benefit to the worker throughout
the country. and 1t Is hoped that the
attitude taken by the President and
Congress in this respect will be Of last
ing help in the present situation. Both
the manufacturer and his factory help
have also benefited by the policy Of the
Government which favors the use of
local materials wherever possible on the
projects to be constructed In that
locality.
While this enormous building program
has come at time when labor and In
dustry will derive the most good, we
must not overlook the fact that the
Government will likewise benefit in
many ways. Federal building construc-
tion, delayed for 13 years after the
World War, will be current within the
next few years. Construction will have
been accomplished at prices far below
normal. Unsatisfactory working 'condi-
tiors will have been considerably i'm
proved. New and modern buildings will
have been built, providing better work.
ing facilities for many years to come.
The cost Of renting commercial space
for Government activities will have been
reduced to minimum. Through the
construction of large working post
Offices at the principal railroad termi-
mails throughout the country thousands
of dollars will be saved by the elimina-
tion OF motor vehicle services between
depots and terminals and by improved
operating facilities planned by the most
expert technicians employed by the
Government.
On July 81, 1892, the emergency con-
struction and relief act became q law.
This legislation, building on a founda-
ton already established by some Of the
activities I have just mentioned, pro-
vides, among other things, that $780,
000, 900 Is appropriated for the use of
the Treasury Department in prosecut-
ing the Federal building program 1t
provides that this 500, 900 900 shall be
applied to projects which were recon-
mended under legislation previously
mentioned, and places the responsibility
for the choice Of location of projects on
the Secretary of the Treasury and he
Postmaster General. This program
should not be confused with the pork
barrel legislation proposed in one of
the relief bills which was opposed by
the President. The Presidents action

activities In all departments have been
enlarged wherever possible and the
work expedited.
Including the Treasury Building pro-
gram, the expenditures for public works
Of the Federal departments during the
fiscal year 1929 Appropriated $261,
00O, 900. This total was increased to
$3.50. 900 900 during the fiscal year 1882,
and will be further increased to nearly
$500, ,000, 900 during the current fiscal
year. In addition to this amount, the
proposed expenditures under the relief
act Of 1882 will represent the maximum
amount to be expended under plans
which are we'll under way IN the sew
eral departments concerned. The larg-
est classes of construction under the
Federal works program relate to ma
tional defense, hospitals for veterans,
road, river and harbor work, flood con-
troll and the Hoover Dam.
Program Progresses Rapidly.
BY the end Of the fiscal year 1888 the
Government will have under contract
practically 90 per cent Of all public
works coming within the scope Of pres
ent plans The taxpayers Of the coun-
try may well expect the budget for the
fiscal years 1894 and 1885 to show a
considerable reduction In the abnormal
expenditures required during the pres
ent and preceding fiscal years, which
were brought about to provide better
Government facilities and aid the un-
employment situation during the period
Of the depression.
Through these trying years wherever
Government could help unemployment
without q waste of the taxpayers money
the Government has helped. Never
were such preparations made for stem
ming the tide OF economic reaction.
Never in all the history OF organized
society have such efforts been put forth
to ward OF the effects OF grim economic
adversely. Building public buildings
building roads. dredging rivers and har-
bors, constructing great public works
none Of these activities, even though all
the present requirements are met and
future requirements anticipated, can
cure the unemployment situation As II
has developed during the depths OF
post war depression. All possible forces
in times such as we have been going
through must be marshaled. All the
reserves must be called up, as they have
been. Nothing has been left to chance
The magnificent work of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation Is per-
haps the greatest example of organizing
the resources of nation. that they may
be made available for the assistance OF
people as they march through the
valley of distress.
The wisdom Of the President In pro-
viding the agencies which made possible
all that has been done and all that Is
being done is becoming more apparent
each day. The employment of 100000
men on Federal buildings. with perhaps
300, 900 more employed in fabricating
and material plants, will not cure the
unemployment in the building trades
But certainly the 1000 men working
today on the huge new post office al
Evening star., 1932-09-13

In this case undoubtedly prevented an
unjustifiable expenditure Of public
money.
No Delay In Action.
There has been no delay by the Gov
ernnient in inaugurating the construc-
ten program authorized by the relief
of the passage of the act Treasury and
Post once officials have been working
night and day analyzing the 900 projects
which are eligible for consideration.
Every department in the Government
has been called upon to furnish justifi-
cation for space requests in these build
ings. New estimates Of cost have been
prepared In all of these cases. based
upon current prices, in order that ex-
cessive limits Of cost win not be au-
thorized by the Secretary and the Post
master General. In some cases the
ONCE of the Supervising Architect Of the
Treasury has already started plans for
additions to buildings where land is
owned and where space requirements
have been fully justified.
Having accomplished all Of the pre-
liminary restudy and surveys necessary.
the two departments are now prepared
to assign all available experienced site
agents to the task Of inspecting sites
offered In response to advertisements
which action is required by law. These
advertisements will be sent out as rap
idly as possible, and within 80 days it
Is expected that proposals for sites at
more than 300 places will be printed in
the respective local papers.
As have told you what has been ac-
complished and is being accomplished
under the old program. will tell you
how the additional 500 900, 900 will be
utilized. It will build upward of 400
Federal buildings, comprising post
Offices, courttU1ses, marine hospitals
and offlce buildings. These viii be
placed where the governmental needs
are greatest, or where leases expire
prior to July /. 1884. and the benefits
Of the expenditure will appear in every
part Of the United States. With the
contracts already in force and with
those about to be let, plus this addi-
tional Federal expenditure, we are as
sured Of hopeful beacon for the build
ing trades for the next two years.
Districts Program Speeded.
The much-needed housing of execu-
tive departments in the District of Co.
lumbia, planned for many years, is fast
becoming a reality. The steel for the
great structures to house various de-
partments is now being placed, and soon
the insanitary temporary buildings,
crowded almost to the point Of suffoca-
ton, will give way to this beautiful
group about to adorn the Nations Cap
ital Within two years the rental cost
of commercial space in the District of
Columbia will be reduced by more than
81 10000 per annum. This ccnstruc-
ton has been done at the most fortu-
nate time for the Government, both
because of the cost and because Of the
assistance to labor scattered throughout
the country As the President has said.
We cannot squander ourselves into
