taonal, for the problems Of welfare
lessons the need for the many services
Of the private agencies.
Tho need continues and can only be
met with generous support from those
who are fortunate In their ability to
give, even though the gift be rela-
lively small one.
Again this year, Community Chests
representing these agencies IN your
own community, will appeal to you fol
moral and financial support 80 tina,
these needs may be met. All Of VI
have an obligation to face this need
honestly and then 10 give - gener-
ously Is our individual means will
permit.
To help oar neighbors Is . part oi
the best American tradition. For Us
the long view of life has included at
every turn the principle Of mutual aid
The Federal Government with the
return Of prosperity must more and
more narrow the circle Of its relief
activities and reduce the amount OF
Federal revenue to be expended in the
amelioration of human want and dis
tress in the various communities OF
our land.
I say this because We all agree that
unless Federal taxes are to be greatly
increased the expenditures have to be
brought within the existing tax re-
ceipts.
Local Work Must Increase.
Although Federal Government relief
activities have to be curtailed, there
must needs be no abatement OF State,
local and individual relief work. In
deed, local and private activities must
be increased.
would, therefore, make an especial
appeal that Federal officials and our
Government employees wherever they
are found ought to take leading part
in cooperating with local and COM
munity relief workers in carrying for
ward their unremitting campaign for
the alienation of the want and suf-
fering that still stalk the land
The whole-hearted cooperation OF
Federal workers will not only aid the
work Immediately in hand, but it will
also afford an excellent and practical
example of the right community spirit
And as dwell upon the practical
force of good example in well ll-doing
there comes to my mind the example
of the city of Denver, which now for
half century has given to the other
cities of the country. Denver, 1 am
informed, is observing tonight the 5Oth
anniversary of joint financing. The
Denver beginning was forerunner of
what has been developed into the 45O
Community Chests of the country.
Burden Being Assumed.
State and local governments are as
suming an increased responsibility for
those unable TO work. for those who
are i'll, for the provision of adequate
educational and recreational opportu-
mites for all
In every American community the
generosity of private giving makes
possible the never-ceaSing campaign
waged by private welfare agencies to
bring opportunities otherwise denied !;
to render needed services not other
wise available, and to pioneer in new
fields that widen the horizon of us all.
This work can only go forward with
the generous cooperation Of all of us.
The Community Chest offers us once
again the opportunity to express our
f.,>~ A.
on which our democracy was founded
by the generous, whole-hearted and
spontaneous giving Of our money and
our good will. I ask. you to help even
more greatly than ever before.
