Here to Attract Wide Attention.

and listens to their childish pleas for
the toys and gifts which they antici-

With thoughts of this gay Christmas
party still lingering in their minds, the
children turn to their native way OF
celebrating the holiday. Away from

Government, acting collectively for
its citizens, was successful in lifting
the annual income of the people to
the point where many believed the
back of the depression had been
broken.
Unfortunately, this led to cur
tailment of the Governments pro-
gram beginning Immediately after the
election in the Fall of 1886. In the
ensuing months the Government was
responsible for the largest discharge
in history when it deprived approxi-
mately million people of employ
ment on w. P. A. The reduction in
governmental expenditures, after we
take into account the payment of the
soldiers bonus, was approximately
three billion dollars in this fiscal year,
as against the expenditures in the
preceding one. This reduction of cap
ital expenditure and purchasing power,
accompanied by rising prices and the
building up Of huge inventories, has
produced the crisis within the crisis
which we now experience"
SENATOR LA TOILETTE believes
that we have a vast reservoir of
work opportunities upon which the
Government may draw in meeting this
problem. To restore and build up
the resource base upon which the
security of prosperity and impregna-
bility of the United States rest, is

In today's plea for relief of unem-

his efforts of 1929 to bring about
Federal aid for the thousands who
were then shutting through the
breadlines Of almost every American
city. He was known in that period as
