The Relief Report

The unfortunately hostile tone of
the summary of the investigation
OF public relief in the District of
Columbia, published in the news
papers on Sunday, materially reduces
the value of a study which might
have been of distinct benefit to the
taxpayers, to Congress and to the
Board of Public Welfare. Mr.. Bur
dette G. Lewis, the investigator and
author of the report, writes more as
a salesman of a new and complicated
relief setup than as an impartial
finder of facts. And facts, more than
Mr.. Lewis rhetoric, are necessary in
any helpful effort to study the Dis
trict's tangled relief situation.
While the hostility of Mr.. Lewis
and his insistence on making a case
for waste and ineficiency resulting
from incompetent personnel weaken
his own report, the welfare officials
will be guilty of poor strategy if they
permit themselves to respond in
kind They should attempt, on the
other hand, to submit facts in re-
buttal which will analyze the charges
and permit the public and the appro-
priations authorities to judge as to
where the fault really lies.
In the matter of fraud and chisel-
ing, for instance, the Lewis report
indicates that both are widespread.
The report suggests that details will
be made public later on. What are
the details? Here is a charge which
should easily be run to earth. There
are, naturally, many cases of petty
fraud. But what is important is the
number of cases which the United
States Attorney or the Corporation
Counsel are willing to accept for
prosecution in the courts What are
the facts regarding duplicated
sources of relief to single families?
Is this the fault Of duplicated laws,
or OF incompetent and wasteful
relief administration? 1t should be
Cdoy w ollOW UllS 1dCLo.
The waste, inefhciency and petty
fraud which may exist in local
relief administration is more apt
to be the result of insufficient
administrative personnel, resulting
from arbitrary limitations on funds
usable for administration or the
failure to provide any administrative
funds, than incompetence When
you crowd case workers with one
hundred and eighty-five cases per
worker, the average in the District,
the opportunity for careful pains
taking investigation is materially
reduced and the relief machinery is
begged down. That has been the
situation in the District and no
doubt is easily demonstrable.
What the public wanted to know
from Mr.. Lewis was whether too
much money is being spent on public
relief in the District. The figures,
compared with the recent past, are
staggering. But the nature of the
demand for relief is also staggering.
Mr.. Lewis does not say that too much
money is being spent for relief. He
proposes an organization that would
cost as much, if not more, than the
present machinery. And his argu-
ment in behalf of the reorganization
is so weakened by lack of particulars
and a fondness for high-powered
rhetoric that it leaves the reader
unconvinced.

The LowIy Road
God comes along q lowly road son,

And we can scarcely realize It's He,
So apt we are to think Of God as a king
Bending to earth in distant majesty;
Yet now He beckons from the lowly road
And whispers, Let me guide you, fol-
low me-"
The road leads down the valley. Whsro
It leads
We cannot tell. We only know that He
Beckons us on q road Of lowliness
And that we follow Him in ecstasy.

Nuzi Submarine Piuns

Berlin Is not supposed to be in a
mood to promote the rearmament
plans Of the Roosevelt administra-
tion or in any other way to give the
United States aid and comfort. Yet,
on the eve Of the greatest defense
program in American peacetime his
tory, 1t would be difficult to conceive
OF more effective foreign support for
such legislation than is forthcoming
this week from the Reich. The Ger
man government has chosen this mo-
ment to proclaim its intention not
only to demand submarine parity
with Great Britain under the Anglo
German naval pact Of 1898, but to
construct U-boats capable of cross
ing the Atlantic to American shores.
If the anti-preparedness elements
in Congress, which are preparing to
snipe at impending rearmament pro-
poSals, are not moved by this latest
evidence of Nazi purposes to increase
Germany's striking power, particular
ly in our direction, the mind fails to
grasp the sort Of argument that
could convince them OF the necessity
of Strengthening our defenses at
every possible point. In New Year
Eve message from Berlin, epitomizing
the sentiments animating the Reich
in the closing hours Of 1888, the As
sociated Press reports that "Nazi de-
termination to grow stronger in 1899
was expressed on every hand" as
Germans made inventory Of the
breath-taking year which, in the
words of Fuehrer Hitler, brought
realization of dream of centuries"
Obtaining of a foothold in the
Western Hemisphere has not been a
German dream Of centuries. But it
has been dream of the present and
the Immediately past generation II
Hitler's people. For thirty years and
more they have indulged in the
vision of German colonies" in Brazil.
They were prepared in Theodore
Roosevelt's day to use naval force to
impose settlement Of a quarrel with
Venezuela. The Monroe Doctrine
has always been Objectionable to
them. Since the dawn of the Nazi
era, totalitarian propaganda and in
trigue have been rampant through
out Central and South America. Our
delegation at Lima last month had
to combat them at every turn And
now Germany plans to build super
submarines that can traverse the
Atlantic!
1t is said the Nazis hope by this
means to impress" the United States.
If their expectations run so far as
to imagine that this country can be
impressed" into modifying its atti-
tude of unyielding hostility to the
policies which led to the present
grave strain in American
relations, Herren Hitler, Goering,
Goebbels g. Co., are pursuing phan-
tom. Their plans to make the Nazi
Reich still more terrible on land and
on sea-and under the sea-and in
the air do undoubtedly impress" us.
Congress should lose no time in
proving, by enactment OF every aug
mentation of the national defense
warranted by the international sit
uation and by our demonstrated
needs, that the lesson of Germany's
armament program has not been lost
on the representatives OF the Ameri-
can people.
