January. I have already made one
trip through some Southern States,
and now I'm going out to the Coast
for the third time since I have been
President, not counting campaign
trips; going out to get 'look-see,' to
try to tie together in my mind the
problems of the Nation"
He said the greater part Of the
emergency was over, but lot of prob
lens remained.
Defends Reclamation Work.
Touching on p. w. A. projects, he
said:
We have to come to an end of
that program some time, and just the
other day we allocated the last of the
money for public works projects"

ing the Government had wasted
money on a certain project, the Presi-
dent said. engineers were human and
could not make home run every
time they came to bat"
He denied reclamation projects we're
waste of money, saying many fami-
lies have had to leave their farms lin
the drought area to escape starvation,
and it was the duty of governments to
provide them with good lands so they
can make a living.
All the Government undertakings,
he said, had served very useful
purpose"

talks to as many Iowa depot audiences
behind him, as he travelled toward
Wyoming, asserting he was mot in
love with any particular methods" so
long as he achieved the objectives of
his program.
