Mrs. Roosevelt
Continued From First Page.)

garding the Receiving Home was
authorized by Mrs. Roosevelt:
Il should say the people at the
Receiving Home are trying to do a
good job under very adverse cir
cumstances.
There is no space for segregation
and it is all wrong to have 18-year-
old boys and little boys of in the
same place. There also is no planned
recreation or occupation and the
length of time they are kept there
is a very unfortunate factor in the
situation.
Moreover, the percentage of re-
peaters-49 per cent for the last
two years-shows that there is some
thing wrong with our whole system
of care for children and our efforts
at rehabilitation, because for a great
many Of those young people it is
simply a graduation from the Re-
ceiving Home eventually to prison.
1.-THE most pitiful feature of the
home seems to me to be the small
dodgers who are brought in simply
because their families are destitute
or in some emergency. They, Of
course, should be separated from
juvenile offenders.
ut did seem to me the home is
making an effort to give the children
as good food as possible"

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-01-31

there were tables and benches
available, but a lack Of real recrea-
tional facilities. There were two
children playing pingpong in one
recreational room-and these were
locked III behind a screened parti-
ton to keep other children out, SO
that a game could be possible. The
playground" it was noted, was
blanketed with the heavy snow. A
lack of clothing which would be
adequate If the children were en-
abled to play out of doors in such
weather also was observed.
At the time of the visit there were
80 boys and IA girls housed at the
home. Mrs. Roosevelt and her COM
panions looked over the schedule of
those confined at the home and
found that one had been sent there
Is times and another 10 times, and
that practically none of the group
was there for the first time; that
some of the wards are kept at the
home as long as four weeks while
their cases were investigated and
adjudicated by Juvenile Court.
In her concluding remarks on the
Receiving Home, Mrs. Roosevelt
said:
II should think the assembly hall
might be used as recreation room,
in order to separate the children.
I also think there should be a reg
ular program of recreation and edu-
cation. Even though some of the
children are there only for a few
days, this should be beneficial"
Prefers Cottage Type Institution.
In her comments on the Industrial
Home School Mrs. Roosevelt said:
Il feel that while an institution
of this kind should, If possible, be
outside the city limits and of the
cottage type, the staff seems to be
doing the best they can to make
good home for the boys and girls
there, and giving them as good
training as can be had under the
circumstances.
IT believe the personnel should be
classified and perhaps increased to
some extent and that perhaps the
dietary should be improved at least
a little"

Five Moves to Raise the Spiri,
of American Business.

Whatever may be done this year
outside Congress to encourage business
in efforts to help itself, the prime
mover will be the program Congress
should enact. The new year is nearly
a month old, Congress has been in
session for most of that month and
people are watching it's activities for
signs of it's determination to take posi-
tive steps that will raise the hope of
business for a good year. On such
steps depend the future of millions of
families now living on public charity
or on artificial stimulants of govern
ment which are costing the people an
appalling sum. In it's Voice of Bush
ness. issue on January THE SUN said:
Congress can remove oppressive and
unjust restraints, block further tax
raids, meet new threats to venture
capital, and reduce the sources of fric-
ton in labor and of fear in business"
Here are some of the specific actions
that Congress can take in compliance
with such desirable detectives:
/. Oppressive restraints should be
removed from the financing of new
enterprises and the expansion Of ex-
listing business. The Securities Ex-
change Act and the securities act
of 1888 should be revised to that
end, perhaps by raising the limit
of securities exempt from registration;
by simplifying the prospectus required
in the distribution of new issues, and
by eliminating the waiting period after
the filing of registration statements.
The discretionary powers of the SEC
should be reduced. Other basic
changes in the securities acts have
been proposed, and deserve study in
this session of Congress. The flow of
capital into commerce, industry and
transportation should be increased.
2. Congress can reduce friction in
labor relations by adopting amend
ments to the Wagner Labor Act which
would accomplish substantially the re-
suit that Senator BURKE had in mind
when he introduced his amendments in
April, 1888. The Burke amendments
deserve immediate consideration.
3. Congress could encourage business
by adopting an intelligent scheme to de-
centralize unemployment relief. Though
work relief under WPA was made less
attractive by the act which Congress
passed last June, the WPA itself
should be eliminated and State and
municipal relief promoted.
4. Congress could stimulate residen-
tial building throughout the country
by rejecting all proposals to pour more
money into tax-exempt, subsidized
housing through the USHA. Faced
with unfair rivalry by State and Fed
eral government, private capital is
timid, despite the need for dwelling
construction.
S. Congress can reduce the chances
of foreign ENHANCEMENT by insisting
that the Senate ratify all foreign trade
pacts, and by preventing the renewal
Of existing pacts, for they threaten
farmers and industrialists with intense
foreign competition.
