The depression was worldwide,

"All of the rest Of the world has

this uncertainty of the public mind
that enabled professional and pO-
lftical quacks to intrigue. with their

THE first essential requisite in
the correction of this situation is
courageous action in stopping ex-
travagance, enforcing economies,
and in reducing taxes, so that the
industries, particularly the smaller
ones, may survive. 3"

at Winchester, Va, and in nearby

ANY person on relief who refuses
a job" said Lawrence Westbrook,
assistant relief administrator, will
be cut off Immediately.
I'VE have instructed all state ad-
ministrators to purge relief rolls as
rapidly as possible"
Announcing that he was "debunk-
ing" assertions that numerous Bal
timOre relief recipients had rejected
jobs, Hopkins recently made public
a study asserting that only four peo-
pie turned down jobs without good
reasons. Similar complaints also
have been numerous in the berry
picking area of New Jersey, but
Hopkins investigators insisted that
they were not justified.
Relief officials said State admin
istrators frequently had resOrted to
cutting off whole counties from the
dole at harvest time, but that South /
Dakota marked the first time this I
had been done to an entire state.
Complaints that those being sup
ported by relief money demanded
high wages were especially frequent
under the CWA. 1t was begun with
he PWA minimum wage of 40 cents
an hour in the South. ranging up to
80 cents in the North. but the mini

'ause of southern protests that it

According to officials of the Agri-

sufficient, but as a further attrac-
