West quoted figures used b
President Roosevelt in urging
$15OO,OOO,OOO relief appropriate
for the next fiscal year. He ais
pointed out that the 100000 o
federal work relief are not a
drawn from relief rolls and tn;
many on relief rolls are NJ
reached by federal aid at all. r
garding the 100000 "unemlpo.
abIeS,", whom the President d
clared the states and localiti,
must care for, West said that z
100000 was the truer figure. T
objected to the use of the wo.
" "unemplOyables" because he sal
that implies social uselessne
and nobody over 8 or under L
Is socially useless"
West also pointed out that
take care Of the 100000 who c.
look only to the states and
caitieS for care, $1,2O0,000,0
would be needed if F.E.R.A. sta
aards Of relief were to be mai
famed. When relief budgets we
highest in 1886 only $46Oy000,O
Was spent for these people,

nave legal bars which prevent

Security.
