No Perfect Relief Plan

Never In the countly's history has it been nee

those put in force during the past three years in the
face Of worthy and widespread distress. .
They have been carefully organized, generously
financed, but the plan Of administering relief on a
basis as near perfect as may be still is TO be devised.
The Red Cross probably attained the best ad-
ministration method. 1t was not perfect.
Meantime relief has bred mendicancy and In
extreme cases 1t has increased suffering rather than
alleyiated II. Today it has become a commanding
social problem.
How to relieve worthy distress, keep political
considerations out OF relief problems, and discourage
outright and shameless mendicancy, may be broadly
defined as the relief problem.
It IS most apparent the most effective relief
