MISS SCHAIN WILL SUPPORT
 DEMO TICKET
Will Assist in Campaign for Reelection of Pres.
 Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, June 18. = Miss Josephine Schain of Minnesota and New York, Chairman of the Ma tional Committee on the Cause and Cure of War and internationally known peace worker, announced to- day that she will support President 1 Roosevelt for reelection and volun- unteer her assistance in his cam i paign.
 | Miss Schain, who is not enrolled in any political party, has never before in her career publicly de- clared for any presidential candi- date.
 In announcing her support, Miss Schain said that she was speaking as an individual and not for the Ma tional Committee on the Cause and Cure of War, which represents the peace work of eleven of the na- tional women's organizations.
 Miss Schain gave the following statement as her reasons for sup porting the President.
 President Appreciated
 "As a person working for better international relations I appreciate the Presidents and MT Hulls ef- forts to employ the good neighbor policy as the foreign policy of the United States.
 President Roosevelt represetns, also an understanding as we have never seen it before, of the great rank and file of the people and the duty of government to represent them. Born in Minnesota, I am fla miliar with the agrarian situation. In New York later as social work er, I became aware of that other great rank and file group, the in- dustrial workers. n
 High-Powered Industry
 AS we do not allow high-pow- cred car to run down a pedestrian we cannot let high-powered indus try disregard the economic lives of the rest. Regulation of social in- terests in developing civilization is an important as traffic rules to highway With the development of civilization, the more necessary becomes a government, like that under President Roosevelt, which serves the interests of the whole peo- pie and not special groups.
 As 8 social worker I have seen what the New Deal has meant to the rank and file of the people. It has banished the ghastly fears aris- ing from unemployment and the vanishing of savings The govern ment has taken an interest in the rank and file with relief, WPA,n PW.A.. and other socially progress sive measures.
 New Deal Praised
 "The New Deal has taken care of this emergency and it has a plan for the future in social secur- ity plans.
 "The drift toward tenant farming in the Middle West since the war has shown a serious fault in our economic life. If it had not been for the New Deal hundreds of thou sands would have lost their homes 1 and joined the rank of the tenant farmers"
 Miss Schain, who has served in many important capacities in Amer ican women's groups. was the head of the American delegation and chairman of the peace committee for the Congress of the Internation- al Alliance for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship in Istanbul, Turkey, last year. In 1881 she was one of two delegates from the United States to meeting at which the Women'S Disarmament Committee at Geneva was formed. She has attended sev- eral sessions of the Assembly of the League of Nations, and was a mem Der of the deputation of women sent to the London Naval Conference in 1S3O.
