Roosevelt Speech Text
President, in address to Human Needs Conference.
Says Upswing Imposes Greater Duty
On Private Charity.

The text Of President Roosevelt's
address this morning to the NTH an
nual meeting Of the Mobilization for
Human Needs. follows:
Chairman Swope, ladies and gen.
tlemen:
Once more I greet the representa-
tives of our great annual Mobilization
for Human Needs.
We are all heartened by clear evil
dences Of returning prosperity. You
are here in spite of that fact and be-
cause of that fact. Returning pros
perity means that you have a right
to expect greater assistance for your
splendid work In every community
Returning prosperity means, however,
that q vast amount Of important work
which all Of US had to defer during
the depression years, can and must
be taken up anew.
AS told you in former years, when
human distress reaches the point that
Government assistance Is necessary.
Government up to the limit Of its
local, its State and its Federal re-
sources must and does act. Happily,
private organizations are now in q
better position to accomplish greater
things than for many years past. In

crease in prosperity heightens the OBJ
legation Of every individual to aid in
the relief of distress in his or her own
community.
Through you appeal to every man,
woman and child in the United States
for q revival throughout the length
and breadth of the land of the spirit
Of charity. But revival" is not ne
right word-for in the difficult years
which have passed that spirit of char
ity showed itself unselflshly and gen.
erously. Increase of the spirit Of
charity would be better way Of put
ting it-for am very proud Of the
support of the country's welfare serv-
Ices OF all kinds In the past seven
years.
I resent and you resent, am sure,
those supercilious and uncharitable
sneers which from a small element
among us have been directed against
those in need and against those who
were honestly seeking to help those In
need.
The cooperation given by the Fed
eral Government in social welfare ac-
tivities extends rather than contracts
the responsibility of private activities
for local relief.

sassination of one of their prominent
supporters in Madrid led their hot
heads to strike too soon
At any rate. their rebellion was
speedily crushed in Madrid. Barcelona,

completely successful in Spanish AZ
rica, and, for the most part, in
Navarro, which Is the Vendee of
Spain-Catholic and counter -revolu-
tionary.
The rebels, so they say, struck to
prevent revolution, although actually
the mild republican government of
Spain was far from revolutionary, and,
at most, was only attempting to avert
revolution by some curtailments, which
circumstances had rendered neces-
sary, Of the power of the ultra -privi-
legged minority.
Before the rebels struck, there was
no class war in Spain, but their action
precipitated it Immediately There
was no revolution or sign Of revolution,
but their action made q revolution.
And last, but not least, there was no
Spanish Lenin preaching revolution.
There Is q certain superficial COM
parisOn between the Fascist rebellion
in Spain and the action of Gen.
Korniloh in Russia in the Summer of
1917, when he tried to impose a mill
tary dictatorship upon Kerensky. who,
like the Spanish "Frente popular"
government, wished to avert a revo-
luton. But Lenin and his bolsheviks
we're far greater threat to demo-
cratic government, or, If one cares to
use the phrase, to capitalistic regime,
than the Leftist supporters of the
"Frente popular" The Spanish rebels
had no such excuse for action.
However much they may try to dis
guise it. their movement was a frank
attempt to restore or maintain the
special privileges previously enjoyed
by the military clique, the church, the
landlords and the barons of industry,
finance and business. In other words,
they were trying to set the clock back,
but, by curious paradox. their action
drove the clock forward helter-
skelter and brought into being the
very revolution against which they
professed to be fighting.

sion great and substantial progress
has been made. The national income
will soon be double what 1t was then.
Nearly six million more men and
women are now at work in private
industry. Three million others are en-
gagged in useful work provided or as
sisted by Government. Factory pay
rolls the first quarter Of this year
were more than $4,000, 900 greater
each week than they were in the first
quarter Of 1888. Systematic and sue
cessful efforts to raise the buying
power Of wage earners and farmers
have increased the business Of mer-
chants and brought orders to manu-
facturers. Confidence has returned to
the great mass of our people, CONF :.
dence on the part of all except a small
minority who seek to profit from the
preaching Of fear.
Personal and family insecurity-that
difficult problem Of past years-your
Government has undertaken at least
to dissipate in part by the enactment
Of the social security act, providing
for cooperative Federal and State
public welfare, public assistance, un.
employment compensation and old-age
benefits.
To the extent that local and State
and Federal Government helps in
these fields, to that extent private
welfare activities are freed from these
appropriately public responsibilities
and, therefore. are enabled more
effectively ana extensively to do those
things which private activities are
best fitted to carry out.

Hoffman Defends 3O-Day
Reprieve Granted Bruno;
City Comment Is Varied
Many Take Position New
Evidence in Case Has
Been Uncovered.

Professional men and women in
Indianapolis today revealed widely
divergent viewpoints on the action
of Gov. Harold Hoffman of New
Jersey in granting Bruno Richard
Hauptmann 30-day reprieve.
Lawyers, as group, seemed
slightly critical, while doctors and
ministers took the stand that the
Governor had every right to reprieve
Hauptmann while there still re-
mains even the faintest possibility
that he might not be guilty.
Comment from well-known local
persons follows:
Third Christian Church pastor: 81

mann case that under no condition

DIR. w. d. Catch, dean of the In

cine: II presume Gov. Hoffman
had sufficient evidence to warrant
delay of the execution"
Rabbi Morris M. Feuerlicht, Indi-
annapolis Hebrew Congregation: Gov
Hoffman has had heavy response
bility weighing on him in the Haupt-
mann case. Possibly he alone knows
the evidence and knows that nothing
else can be done in the name OF
merciful justice but to grant a re-
prieve. I assume he has sufficient
evidence to warrant his action. 1t
remains to be seen what that evil
dence Isl

thought Hauptmann would get re-
prieve. I have had a. 'hunch' all
along that the execution would be
stayed. Personally I think there
may be lot of merit to Gov. Hoff
mans action. He must have lot
of facts to do what he did"
John A. Royse, attorney: IT was
convinced that Hauptmann was
guilty. However, if the Governor
