food supply will be given special
consideration in the new farm
program. ....-
This end will be sought by en-
couraging farmers to improve
their land and to produce suffi-
cient supplies of staple agricul-
tural commodities to meet con-
sumer demand at prices tair to
both producers and consumers.
) The soil conservation and do
nestle allotment act prohibits che
use of its authority u reduce
production below the amount
needed to maintain normal con-
sumption, said Dean l. O. Schaub,
of State college.
The secretary of agriculture
has been directed to ascertain the
quantity of food and fibers need
ed annually to supply the coun-
try's needs. 90. e..
A committee of the State. col
legc agricultural extension SER
vice staff has been appointed to
determine the amount of food

ed in North Carolina this year,
the dean pointed out. ".
The committee is expected to
make recommendations soon re-
gardipg the production of food

ers who wish to participate in
the new program. ....
The dean called attention to
the fact that under the new pro-
gram, soil conservation grants
will not be paid farmers who re-
duce their food and feed crops
below the amount needed on the
farm.
Assurance of an adeuate sup
ply of food and other farm com

RELIEF F. R,
Yesterdays Message to
Congress on Relief Is
Sharply Worded
By ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent Mt

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10. UP)
President Roosevelt asked. con-
gress yesterday for $1,5OO,0OO TO
continue work-relief another wear
and bluntly warned industry that
unless it coOperatcd to reduce I'M
employment more money would
be needed TO aid the destitute
and further plans and policies"
initiated.
In a sharply-wordcd message
declaring that 100000 families
and persons today arc obtaining
federal or state relief, Mr.. Roosc-
welt estimated the treasury's share
of the burden during the 1886
fiscal year ending July l., at APP
proximately $3,500,000,00O. The
chief executive said unexpended
appropriations totaling more than
81 ,000,000,000, the additional
81 ,500,000,00O requested today
and $600,000,000 voted the CCC
and various public works would
be utilized to meet relief needs
in the 1897 fiscal year.
This amount, he said, will be
sufficient only if substantial en-
ployment gains are made through
combined efforts of various indus
tries. Appealing to private enter
prise to accept "this responsible
ity," Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"The ultimate cost of the Fed
eral Works program will be de"
termined by private enterprise.
Federal assistance =. can be ter
minated if industry itself remov-
ed the underlying conditions"
The Chief Executive did not
elaborate on the further plans
and policies" which he said might
follow failure of industry to co.
operate but in the last paragraph
of his message he said:
"ThoSc who believe that Gov
eminent may be compelled to as
sumo greater responsibilities in
the operation of our industrial
system can make no valid objec-
ton to a renewed effort on the
part of private enterprise to in
sure a livelihood to all willing
workers. Those, on the .,thcr
hand, who believe in complete
freedom of private control with
out any Government participation
should earnestly undertake. to
demonstrate their effectiveness by
increasing employment" -"
Anticipating possible attempts
in Congress to increase the APP
Mr.. Roosevelt flatly
instructed Democratic leaders that
new taxes must be imposed to
meet all additions to the 81 ,5OO,-
100000 estimate, according to
speaker Joseph W. Byrns. Byrns

ing the new relief grant, but &C

would be made in the lower house
to "earmark" part of the money
for continuation of CCC activi-
ties at. their present status. The
President is determined to trim
Gee personnel from 100000 to
100000 and abandon temporarily
several hundred camps scattered
throughout the country.
The proposed relief appropria-
ton was attacked vigorously by
Republicans in both Houses. Sen
ate minority leader Charles l..
McNary of Oregon, said the
amount sought is "tob much for
the essential needs" He predicted
that the upper chamber would not
approve another "blank check"
appropriation similar to tho $4,-
800,00 work relief grant and
would specify what uses were to
be made Of the money.
House Minority Leader Bcr-
trand H. Smell, of New York, said
the relief proposal is "a last grab
at the Treasury before the cleo
ton" He pointed out the March
Is Treasury statement shows an
unexpended balance of $5,9O7,-
600 in emergency and relief APP
preparations and added:
"The Presidents message can
not obscure the frightfnl middle
into which the whole relief pro,
gram has degenerated."
Shortly before Mr.. RooSGvelts
message was read, it was disclos-
ed that Administrator Harry IT,
Hopkins had written all state WPA
directors prohibiting political actl-
vity. on. all Federal projects Hop
kins wrote that no WPA employe,
was to be permitted to solicit con-
tributions for any political party,
was required to make any contril-
buttons or was to. have his loo
imperilled by failure to contribute
to polical war chests. The letter
grew out of widespread criticism
that political pressure was being
brought upon WPAA employees TO-
swell Democratic Golfers.
President Roosevelt Informed
Congress that there are no accu-
rate figures OH the total unem-
ployed in the nation today. AT
least 100000 more persons
were at work in December 1885
than in March 1888, he said. And
the trend of employment is up
ward. The present rate of prog
ress, the President added, is in
adequate and there is little evil
dence that large numbers OF idle
can be reemploycd through unco-
ordinatcd and individual action
by large and small employers.
Although antitrust laws will
be fully and vigorously enforced,
Mr.. Roosevelt said there was no
thing in these laws to prevent
managers Of private business
from working together to increase
production and employment.
: at is my belief that if the
leaders in each industry will or
ganize a common effort to increase
employment within that industry,
employment will increase sub
the message said.
The President sharply crltIclz-
cd those who charge that Federal
have encouraged states,
counties and municipalities to
shirk their relief responsibilities.
He pointed out that state and To-
cal Governments spent S466,OOO,-
600 for emergency relief in 1885.
This, he explained, was l3 per
cent more than the same units
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-03-19

spent in 1884 and 40 per cent
more than they spent in 1888.
Constitutional limitations, h e
President added, prevent many
states today from assuming evcC
greater responsibilities oward
their destitute. However, he en-
phasizcd, some states, "fortunat-
ely few, have taken an undue ad.
vantage of Federal appropriations
at is not desired in the next
fiscal year to encourage any stat
es to continue to shirk," the mes
sage said. At the same time, Mr..
Roosevelt reiterated that the Fed
eral Government Cannot main
tain relief for uncmployablcS in
any state"
