Mr.. Cochrane speaks highly
of the work of SchoolbOy Rowe,
Goose Goslin, Marvin Owen

current discussion of the club.
These four boys have done better
than was expected of them and, in
the opinion of Mr.. Cochrane, provide
the club with it's margin of improve
ment. Mr.. Cochrane, does not men,

roughly two-thirds of that margin.

tons Of the world, we have so
far failed to create a national
policy for the development Of our
land and water resources and for
their better use by those people
who cannot make a living in
their present positions. Only
thus can we permanently elimi-
nate many millions of people
from the relief rolls on which
their names are now found.
The extent of the usefulness
of our great natural inheritance
OF land and water depends on
our mastery of it. We are now
so organized that science and in
vention have given us the means
of more extensive and effective
attacks upon the problems of ma
ture than. ever before. We have
learned to utilize water power, to
reclaim deserts, to recreate for
eStS and to redirect the flow of
population. Until recently we
have proceeded almost at ran
QOm, making many mistakes.
Deserts Being Made
There are many illustrations Of
the necessity for such planning.
Some sections of the Northwest
and Southwest which formerly ex-
listed as grazing land were spread
over with a fair crop of grass.
On this land the water table lay
a dozen or twenty feet below the
surface, and newly arrived settlers
put this land under the pillow.
Wheat was grown, by dry farming
methods.
But in many of these places to-
day the water table under the
land has dropped to so or 60 feet
below the surface and the top
soil in dry seasons is blown away
like driven snow. Falling rain, in
the absence of grass roots, filters
through the soil, runs off the sur
face, or is quickly reabsorbed into
the atmosphere. Many million
acres of such land must be re-
stored to grass or trees if we are
to prevent a new and man-made
Sahara.
At the other extreme, they are
regions originally arid, which have
been generously irrigated by hu.

Government to adopt as q clear
policy to be carried out over a
long period the appropriation Of
large, definite annual sum, so
that work may proceed year after
year, not under the urge Of tenn
porary expediency, but in pursu-
ance of the well-considered,
rounded objective.
Security to Be Provided
The third factor relates to Sc
curity against the hazards and
vicissitudes Of life. Fear and
worry, based on unknown danger,
contribute to social unrest and
economic decentralization. II, as
our Constitution tells us, our Fed
eral Government was established
among other things Ito promote
the general welfare" it is our
plain duty to provide for that Sc.
curity upon which welfare de-
ponds.
Next winter we may we'll under
take the great task Of furthering
the security of the citizen and his
family through social insurance.
This Is not an untried expert
ment. Lessons of experience are
available from States, from in
dustries, and from many nations
of the civilized world. The va
rious types of social insurance
are inter-related and I think it
is difficult to attempt to solve
them piecemeal. Hence, 1 am
looking for sound means which
can recommend to provide at
once security against several of
the great disturbing factors in
life-eSpecially those which re-
late to unemployment and old
age.
I believe there should be a
maximum of cooperation between
States and the Federal Govern
ment. I believe that the funds
necessary to provide this insur-
ance should be raised by contri-
button rather than by an in
crease in general taxation.
Above all. am convinced that
social insurance shuld be national
in scope, although the several
States should meet at least a
large portion of the cost Of man.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-06-08

the making Of q better living out
of the lands that we have.
So also, security was attained
in the earlier days through the
interdependence Of members Of
families upon each other and Of
the families within q small com
munity upon each other. The
complexities of great communities
and of organized industry make
less real these simple means of
security. Therefore, we are com.
PEELED to employ the active inter
est of the nation as whole
through government in order to
encourage a greater security for
each individual who compoSes it.
With the full cooperation Of the
Congress we have already made a
serious attack upon the problem
of housing in our great cities. Mil
lions of dollars have been appro-
priated for housing projects by
Federal and local authorities,
often with the generous assistance

begun must be pursued for many
years to come.
There is ample private money
for sound housing projects; and
the Congress-, in a measure now
before you, can stimulate the
lending of money for the modern
ization of existing homes and the
building of new homes. In pur-
suing this policy we are working
toward the ultimate objective of
making it possible for American
families to live as Americans
should.

In regard to the second fac

thought as to the means by
which a wise government may
help the necessary readjustment

fail to act when hundreds Of

there is no reasonable prospect

This is especially a national
problem.

agement, leaving to the Federal
Government the responsibility Of
investing, maintaining and safe
guarding the funds constituting
the necessary insurance reserves.
Studies Under Way
I have commenced to make,
with the greatest Of care, the
necessary actuarial and 9th e r
studies necessary for the formu-
lation of plans for the considera-
ton of the Seventy-fourth Con-
These three great objectives-
the security of the home, the
security of livelihood, and the
security Of social insurance are.
it seems to me, a minimum OF
the promise that we can offer to
the American people. They con-
stitute a right which belongs to
every individual and every family
willing to work. They are the
essential fulfillment of measures
already taken toward relief, re-
covery, and reconstruction.
This seeking for a greater
measure of welfare and happiness
does not indicate a change in
values. 1t is rather a return
to values lost in the course of
our economic development and
expansion.
Private Initiative Retained
Ample scope is left for the
exercise Of private initiative. In
fact, in the process Of recovery, I
am greatly hoping that repeated
promises that private investment
and private initiative to relieve
the government in the Immediate
future of much of the burden
it has assumed will be fulfilled.
We have not imposed undue re-
strictions upon business: we nave
not opposed the incentive Of rea-
sonable and legitimate private
profit. We have sought rather to
enable certain aspects Of business
to regain the confidence of the
public. We have sought to put
forward the rule of fair play in
finance and industry.
It is true that there are a few
among us who would still go back.
These few offer no substitute for
the gains already made, nor any

man engineering. But In some OF
these places the hungry soil has
not only absorbed the water neces-
sary to produce magnificent crops,
but so much more water that the
water table has now risen to the
point Of Saturation, thereby threat
ening the future crops upon which
many families depend.
Success Assured.
Human knowledge is great
enough today to give us assurance
of success in carrying through
the abandonment of many mil.
lions of acres for agricultural use
and the replacing Of these acres
with others on which at least a
living can be earned.
The rate Of speed that we can
usefully employ in this attack on
impossible social and economic
conditions must be determined by
buSiness-like procedure. 1t would
be absurd to undertake too many
projects at once or to do q patch
of work here and another there
without finishing the whole of an
individual project. Obviously, the
Government cannot undertake ma.
tional projects in every one Of the
435 Congressional districts, nor
even in every one of the 48 States.
The magnificent conception of
national realism and national
needs that this Congress has built
up has not only. set an example
of large vision for all time, but
has almost consigned to oblivion
our ancient habit of pork barrel
legislation. To that we cannot
and must not revert. When the
next Congress convenes I hope to
be able to present to it a care
fully considered national plan,
covering the development and the
human use of our natural re-
sources of land and water over a
long period of years.
In considering the cost Of such
a program it must be clear to all
of us that for many years to come
we shall be engaged in the task
of rehabilitating many hundreds
of thousands Of our American
families. In So doing we shall! be
decreasing future costs for the eli
rect relief of restitution. I hope
that it will be possible for the
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-06-08

hope for making future gains for
human happiness. They loudly
assert that individual liberty is be-
ing restricted by government, but
when they are asked what individ-
ual liberties they have lost. they
are put to it to answer.
We must dedicate ourselves
anew to a recovery of the old and
sacred possessive rights for which
mankind has constantly struggled
homes, livelihood. and individ-
ual security. The road to these
values is the way Of progress.
Neither you nor will rest content
until we have done our utmost to
move further on that road.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-06-08


as we may look to the past Il
months with reasonable Satisfac
ton.
On the side Of relief we have
extended material aid to millions
of our fellow citizens.
Recovery Cited
On the side Of recovery we have
helped to lift agriculture and in
dustry from a condition Of utter
prostration.
But. in addition to these i'm
mediate tasks of relief and re-
covery we have properly, neces-
sarily, and with overwhelming
approval determined to safeguard
these tasks by rebuilding many
of the structures Of our economic
life and of recognizing it in
order to prevent a recurrence OF
collapse.
It is childish to speak Of re-
covery first and reconstruction
afterward. In the very nature OF
the processes Of recovery we must
avoid the destructive influences
of the past. We have shown the
world that democracy has within
it the elements necessary to its
own salvation.
Less hopeful countries where
the ways of democracy are very
new may revert to the autocracy
of yesterday. The American peo'
pie can be trusted to decide
wisely upon the measures taken
by the Government to eliminate
the abuses of the past and to
proceed in the direction of the
greater good for the greater num-
Der.
Must Regain Ideals
Our task of reconstruction
does not require the creation OF
new and strange values. It is
rather the finding of the way
once more to known, but to some
degree forgotten, ideals and
values. If the means and details
are in some instances new, the
detectives are as permanent as
human nature.
Among our detectives I place
the security of the men, women
and children of the nation first.
This security for the individual
and for the family concerns itself
primarily with three factors. Peo-
pie want decent homes to live in;
they want to locate them where
they can engage in productive
work, and they want some safe
guard against misfortunes which
cannot be wholly eliminated in
this man-made world of ours.
Frontiers Are Gone
In a simple and primitive civil
cation homes were to be had for
the building. The bounties Of ma
ture in a new land provided crude
but adequate food and shelter.
When land failed, our ancestors
moved on to better land. 1t was
always possible to push back the
frontier, but the frontier has now
disappeared. Our task involves
