HOPKINS DEFENDS
SPENDING PLAN
Tells Selected Group It Is
Only Salvation for the
Country.

Harry Hopkins. chief Of the Works
Progress Administration, today said the
country's economic salvation lay in
granting the White Houses request for
$4,000, 100000 as a pump-primer.
Industry now has the greatest in
ventories in history" Mr. Hopkins said
"The spending program will clear the
shelves and move these goods"
While the Methodist Bishop Of
Omaha took down his talk in Short
hand, Mr.. Hopkins told IS selected edu-
Gators, clergymen, social workers,
writer's and public speakers here for
week to find out how the Federal Gov
ernment operates:
The national income dropped from
s68, 600, ,000, 900 to s56. .00O, ,000, 900 in the
past six months. Three million men
and women have been thrown out of
work since October. But now the w.
P. A. Is ready to spend $l70, 0,000, 900 a
month. If private industry can't give
employment, I believe in the Govern
, ment's providing unemployment inSur-
{ ance or work"
opposition Meaningless.
Newspaper opposition to the spend
Ing program is meaningless, Mr.. Hop
,kins said. He added:
The newspapers don't represent
public opinion. Opinion comes from
the people themselves
Every dollar of our relief program
flows right back into our economic
stream. Nobody can stop this pro-
gram"
The throng of men and women whom
Mr.. Hopkins addressed at the Dodge
Hotel was brought here by Sherwood
Eddy, author and lecturer, as men,
bers of the American Seminar To-
morrow they will have completed an
eight-day stay.
They come from % States, including
California and Oregon. They are all
adults who pay $40 besides their
travel and hotel costs for a personally
conducted tour of New York City, in
six days, and Washington.
