Text of RooseveIt's Relief MESSAGE
President Makes Plea to Congress for Increased
Fund for Needy Unemployed

people can be employed from the
waiting list"
am of the opinion that States
counties and municipalities are
doing, in the overwhelming majority
of cases, all that their finances will
permit to meet the situation.
I further believe that, with few
exceptions. those who are employed
are actually in need and are not
receiving more than they should
in the form Of Federal assistance
1t is the obvious duty of the Chief
Executive to point out the need
which exists and to give all possible
factual information. This 1 have
attempted to do in order that the
legislative branch of the Govern
ment, In which the final decision
and full responsibility necessarily
rests, may act.
Because 1t has been alleged that I
would be satisfied II no further an
preparation were made for the
coming three months, I feel that
In justice to myself 1 must make it
clear that am not sending this
message to the Congress merely for
the purpose Of going through mo-
tiOnS.
Pleads for Policy.
For more than six years it has
been the definite policy of the Presi-
dent and the Congress that needy
persons, out Of work, should not be
allowed to starve; that it was an
obligation of the Federal Govern
ment to give work to those able to
work and an obligation of State
and local government and of private
charities to take care of those needy
persons who are unable to work.
That policy, am more than ever
confident. Is right. 1t should not
be abandoned now.
1t is wholly within the right of
any and all Of us to study and work
for the greater efficiency of Gov
ernment. For several years infinite
study has been given to the prob
lens OF relief in all its forms; ad-
ditional studies are proper.
>~e wan ASVSA AAAASAit VI VIC
States is faced today with con-
dition and not theory. The in
sufficiency of the money appro-
priated will compel the admins
traitor to discharge about a million
and a quarter actual workers in the
immediate future.
I cannot bring myself to believe
that these discharged men and
women will contribute to the pros
perity Of the United States, nor do
1 believe that the merchants and
landlords they are now dealing with
will become more prosperous when
their trade ceases.
Therefore. the responsibility for
the situation in which all of these
people will find themselves during
the coming three months rests of
necessity within the decision of the
Congress OF the United States.

preparations Subcommittee, said he
believed there was mo justification
whatever for a supplemental fund.
M0rgenthau Position Approved.
Although the relief battle over
shadowed other developments in the
general congressional discussion of
Government spending, many legis-
lators were quick to approve Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau's
decision against asking Congress at
this session to increase the national
debt limit from $45 900, 100000 to
$50 0,0O0, 100000.
He said this could wait until next
year, because the debt is not ex-
pected to reach s45, 900 100000 until
after June 80. 1910.
However, Secretary Morgenthau
said, the administration will seek
to lift the 100000 100000 bond limit.
Current financing plans will exhaust
this maximum by September /, he
explained. and unless the limit is
raised the Treasury would have to
stop selling bonds.
Mr.. Roosevelt discussed the relief
situation with two groups of legis-
lators yesterday. The first included
his congressional lieutenants.
The second consisted of four first
term Senators expressly desirous of
preventing any curtailment of New
Deal activities at time when the
administration, with its major So
cial recommendations enacted, Is
emphasizing business improvement.
The four were Senators Ellender
OF Louisiana, Schwartz of Wyoming
Lee of Oklahoma and Mead of New
York. all Democrats. Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama was i'll and
unable to attend.
The quartet assured Mr.. Roosevelt
they were 100 per cent behind a
$3.50 100000 appropriation for re-
lief" They advised him that in
stead of wanting New Deal curtail-
ment, they favored more stimula-
ton by Government to business II
necessary in order to keep up the
work that has been started by this
administration"
Further support for a new relief
appropriation came last night from
a group Of about 80 self-styled
progressive" Democrats In the
House. One Of their number said
they agreed at dinner to support
the Presidents recommendation.
Representative Boland of Penn
sylvania. the Democratic whip, said
House leaders had not yet decided
how much pressure would be re-
quired to assure passage of addi-
tional w. P. A. funds.
One Republican leader said the
minority members could not afford
to vote against relief bill as a
party matter because we've got
relief problems in our own districts. :"

Vatican Considers
beatification Of
Mother Duchesne
Frenchwomon Founded
American Society
Of Sacred Heart
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, March 1.-THE
congregation of rites took under con-
sideration today the miracles at
tributed to Mother Philippine Rose
Duchesne, founder Of the American
Society of the Sacred Heart, pre-
liminary to her beatification.
At the same time Pope Plus XII
and Papal Secretary of State Luigi
Cardinal Maglione gave their full
attention to the many problems
facing the Vatican, all formalities
attending the pontiffs coronation
Sunday having been concluded.
Outstanding Is the situation In
Germany, where many churchmen
fear new difficulties may be in the
offing for the church. The holy
fathers interest in affairs concern
Ing German Catholics was indicated
by the fact that among the first
cardinals granted audiences after
his election March 2 were four Ger
man cardinals.
MoSt OF the cardinals who elected
Plus XII were homeWard bound to-
day or preparing to depart shortly.
They were carrying with them the
pontiff's fervent appeal that they
work for peace.
They will take this plea for "that
peace which is the fruit of charity
and justice" to the Catholics of the
16 nations they represent.
The church already has decreed
that Mother Duchesne Is worthy of
veneration as having Exercised
Christian virtues to heroic degree"
She was FrenchWoman who Joined
the Visitation Nuns as young girl
and saw their dispersion in the
French Revolution. Afterward she
gathered some Of the nuns and
tried to re-establish a convent near
Grenoble, but In the face of difficult
ties took her followers into the So
ciety Of the Sacred Heart, a con-
gregation of teaching sisters.

Mayor Hogue's Son
Takes Oath to
AppeuIs Court

TRENTON, N. j., March IA.
Frank Joseph Hague, jr., "a
year-old lawyer-son of the vice
chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, took the
oath today as member of the
Court of Errors and Appeals,
New Jerseys highest law tri-
bunal.
Admitted to the bar in 1896,
Judge Hague became the young
est member of the court, which
will convene on March %. He
was nominated by Gov. A. Harry
Moore, Democrat, on February

cal public relief agencies until actual
vacancies exist to which needy per-
sons can be assigned.
1t is my belief that improvement
in business conditions between now
and June will result in substantial
increase in employment. However,
based on the experience Of the past,
1t cannot be expected that this in
crease will absorb more than 800, 0,000
of those who are now on the Works
Progress Administration rolls or who
have been certified as in need and
awaiting assignment
That means that the present total
of these two categories. $3.50, 900 per-
sons, would be reduced to $3.50, 900.
10000 Adults Dropped.
In accordance with the require
ments of the recent appropriation
law, approximately 10000 aliens
have been removed from the rolls.
The current investigation of the &C
tual need of relief employees will
shortly be completed in the field. but
1t Is already clear from preliminary
reports that the number who will be
eliminated will not exceed 5 per
cent of the total and may be con-
siderably less.
All possible economics in admin
istration and operation are being
sought and will be constantly check
ed, but here again the cold facts,
which have been given insufficient
emphasis, require restatement.
Out of every 500 Of Federal funds
expended by the Works Progress Ad-
ministration only $3.50 is for ad-
ministrative overhead; $l050 Is
spent for materials. equipment and
supplies; $86 is paid out directly in
the form of wages. AS a business
proposition, 1t occurs to me that
some modicum of commendation Is
in order.
If no additional appropriation is
made. the Works Progress Admin
istration must of necessity issue in
Structions, within the next week,
to reduce the number employed.
The plan proposed by the adminis-
traitor Is to effect reduction of
approximately 100000 in the first
week in April. and further reduc-
ton Of 100000 in the first week in
May. This will reduce the total en-
ployed to 1000 900 persons.
However. even these drastic cuts
will not be sufficient to make the
available fund last through to June
30, and still comply with the re-
quirements Of the statutes. There
fore. still further reduction of
more than 100000 will have to be
made early in June.
This plan has been recommended
as being preferable to a program Of
Week-to-Week reductions because.
under the latter, more persons would
lose their pobs.
Result Of Proposed Plan.
Under the proposed plan the num-
Der OF persons who will be thrown
out OF employment In the near fu-
ture Is 1000, 0,0O0-growing to over
/ 200 900 before June 80. The num-
Der OF persons, including depen-
dents. affected by this reduction
Will be 4,000,0 900 within the next few
weeks and nearly a million more
later on.
To these must be added the wait
ing list category-because it is
obvious that while people now on
the rolls are being discharged no
