John Stewart Bryan, Richmond, Va,

presided ct the meeting. Praising Presi-
dent Roosevelt's courage. initiative and
hopefulness In his handling of . des-
perate situation, Bryan said the first
and supreme objective. the restoration
Of the confidence Of America IN itself,
had been achieved.

who is Ill.
The greatest obstacle" said Kellogg,
"is the widespread belief that the Gov
eminent will furnish the means and
that there Is no necessity for private
subscriptions and aid Nothing Is FUR
ther from the fact. The aid rendered
by the Federal Government and the
State and local governments Is limited
in Its scope and does not and cannot
cover the ground where the private
organizations must carry on. The Gov
ernment aid Is largely limited to pub
care Of the unemployed.
I'VE must remember the demands
made upon the Federal Government
surpass anything ever attempted IN
times Of peace and cannot be indef-
nitely continued We must further
realize that the States, cities and coun-
ties are over.burdened with debt, many
of them to the limit Of their capacity
to pay, and that further taxation can
not be invoked for the purpose Of the
welfare services which the communities
Il am quite aware Of the necesdty
which probably required the Federal
Government to engage In activities
never before undertaken in times Of
peace But We are not wards Of the
Government. We are self reliant, ener-
getic and resourceful people, and the
idea that II business Is bad and incomes
are decreased everyone must turn to
the Government for help. is to my mind
not only false. but sooner or later we
will have to awake to the fact that
the American people must help them
selves.
I'VE appeal to every community to
thoroughly organize and carry on an
that in this crisis the American people
will fail. Is 1t possible that IN this
great, rich country with all its wealth
Of resources, we are going to allow peo-
pie in our midst to suffer for the aoso-
lutte necessities of life? We should
shrink from such q national disgrace"
