RECALLS MESSAGE

self removes the underlying conditions. Should industry co-operative-ly achieve the goal bf re-employ-ment, the appropriation of $1,500,000,000, together with the unexpended balances of previous appropriations, will suffice to carry the Federal works program through the fiscal year 1937. Only if industry fails to reduce substantially the number of those now out of work will another appropriation and further plans and policies be necessary.”
Many private enterprises have co-operated and I hope that there will be further sustained efforts on the part of private employers. Great assistance can be given to the Government if all private employers in every part of the country will seek, in so far as they reasonably can, to obtain

tends toward the stepping up of
additional workers from the rvelief rolls.” In this connection it is worth noting that by far the larger part of those on the relief rolls fall into the category of unskilled workers.
As a result of the natural increase |
ir. our population, each year at least 400,000 new workers are seeking work, and this number of new jobs annually is necessary simply to prevent an increase of unemployment. Certain other facts are worth noting. The tendency toward a longer work week has had an extremely important effect on re-employment. Hours of work in manufacturing industries, as shown by the Bureau of Labor Statistics index, averaged 33.3 hours per week in September, 1934. That average has increased by 20 per cent, to more than 40 hours per week in October, 1936.
LONGER HOURS
While among most industries and most employers the maximum hours established under the National Recovery Act have not been greatly increased, it is worth noting that in some industries and among some employers the former maximum hours have been unreasonably increased. Every action of an employer along these lines obviously
production without an equivalent stepping up of employment. It is not unfair to say that these employers who are working their employees unreasonably long hours are failing to co-operate with the Government and their fellow citizens in putting people back to work. In March, 1936, more than 3,400,000 employable persons were provided for by the works program, not including the Civilian Conservation Corps. At the present time, as a result of an exhaustive review of the needs of the families of workers on the works program, we have found that it will be necessary, during the winter months, to provide employment for at least 2,580,000 workers, of which number 250,000 will receive employment from funds appropriated in the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 This represents a net reduction of
more than 800,000 since last March.
Further reductions will be made in the spring and summer, at the time of seasonal increases in private employment,
DROUGHT PROBLEM
An unforeseen factor in Federal expenditures for the relief of destitution has been the drought, which laid. waste large areas of the country, and brought disaster to hun-
dreds of thousands of farm families. ! During last summer and fall, an emergency program was developed | to provide employment for the des- |
titute of the stricken families. With
the advent of winter, about 250,000 |
of these families are being transferred from work projects to the Resettlement Administration, which will provide them with direct grants for subsistence through the winter, and make other provisions to get them started on an independent basis when the planting season arrives. Since the balance of the present appropriation of $1,425,000,000 for, relief and work relief will
. be barely sufficient to finance this
program through the month of January, I recommend that the *Congress provide a supplemental appropriation of $790,000,000 for this purpose for the remainder of the fiscal year 1937. We have promised that the men, women and children of America who are destitute through no fault of their own shall not be neglected. Before the end of this fiscal year I shall make specific recommendations to the Congress, defining in detail by views relative to the continuing problem of unemployment relief and its administration in 1938. Respectfully, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

Dr. Fishbein said that under socialized medicine it would cost a great deal more because there “would be two bureaucrats for every doctor.”
“In medicine,” | he said, “there should be mutual responsibility between doctor and patient, not between doctor and Mayor, or Governor or Commissioner of Internal Affairs. “Who really lacks medical care in this country? The real indigents do not, for from time immemorial doctors and hospitals’ have taken care of them without counting the
