TIP until the time of the senate

the country could name more than
two or three of Wall Streets lead

now are familiar to almost every
one-a few not very favorably So.
Most of them always were friendly
TO newspaper men, though, and
usually talked quite freely. but sell
dom we're they willing to talk for
publication. The reported was
obliged to preface their statements
with 1t IS understood" or 1t is re-
ported in responsible quarters" or
refrain from publishing their re-
marks at all.
Not infrequently, also, newspaper
men have spent considerable time
interviewing people of importance
IN the Street only to be told before
leaving. You understand. Of course,
that I have been talking to you in
confidence" AT such times they
have been burned up" and lIually
they have not returned soon again.
They seldom had much personal in

say. They wanted a story they
could print. That is what they were
being paid for.

Employment Provided for
100000 Persons
Since March.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press staff Correspondent

Copyright 1884 by United Pressl
WASHINGTON, June 25-The
Roosevelt recovery program to date
has cost the United States s4,311,-
-597 ,238 CD or about $1,000 for each
of the nearly 100000 persons who
have been re-employed in some way
since March 4, 1888, official gov
eminent figures showed today.
In the fifteen months since Presi-
dent Roosevelt took office, the
treasury reports expenditures ex-
elusive of the normal $4,000, 900 900
annual cost of running the govern
ment, of S4311, 597 ,238, or slightly
more than 100000 for every day
President Roosevelt has been in
office.
Nearly a third of this huge sum
went for direct relief of the needy,
either through civil works ex-
penditureS or other direct means
The remainder went to recovery
purposes Of a more indirect nature.
Small Amounts Divided
More than a billion dollars was
poured into the banking structure
and hundreds of millions poured into
various government recovery and
credit agencies.
Smaller amounts have been dis
bursed to such agencies as the MIRA,
the Farm Credit Administration and
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration. Hundreds of millions
of the recovery" money were not
strictly spent, however. Much Of it
represents investments" of gov
eminent money in various banks and
credit agencies and is expected to
be recovered when various loans are
repaid.
The relation between the govern
ment money spent and the number
of persons re-employed can not be
accurately determined because a
large part of the recovery money
has been spent indirectly. Its effect
on reducing unemployment can not
be ascertained. Most of the re-
hired workers We taken by private
businesses only indirectly affected by
government expenditures.
AS to whether the 100000 in re-
employment is in direct relation
to the amount of relief money
poured out of the federal treasury,
it was pointed out that government
experts used as ''yardstick"
months ago the belief that every
ST 900 of recovery money spent by
the government would put one man
back to work.
Spending Program Studied
If this same ratio could be applied
to the 100000 persons estimated
