Iration and that, in many districts,
have entered into competition with
each other in promises for the fu
ture, serve to call attention to the
dangers which accompany this
kind of campaign. If elections are
to be determined on the basis of
the larger promises, and congress
men elected on pledges to distrib- j
«te funds, can readily see that it
will mean more and more spend
ing. In fact, an endless chain will
be in motion until a strong execu
tive stamps out the pernicious
In the present campaign, little
opposition has been heard front
responsible heads and only slight
protests from the opposing can
didates. In fact, one hears of no
important candidate, either for the
Senate or House, who is makirg a
serious issue of retrenchment and
economy.
It is probably too early to at
tempt to line up the probable
events of the next few months,
but many believe that as ia result
of the wild promises made in the
present campaign, the next Con
gress will try to swing radically to
the "left" and that President
Roosevelt, realizing that the gov
ernment cannot forever pour out
billions, will be forced to call a
halt and make a decided test.
Othtr issues than spending may
cause a showdown and force the
President to align himself more
definitely with one or the other
faction among his supporters.
The action of the American Le
gion, coupled with activity of other
veterans' organizations, indicate
that a concerted drive will be
made to force the bonus issue. If
veterans reject the advice of some
of their leaders who are urging
caution in this matter, the nation
will probably see another clash be
tween Congress and the Chief Ex
ecutive. It is taken for granted
that congressman will vote for im
mediate payment of the bonus if
veterans' organizations press the
issue and President Roosevelt's re
cent utterances seem to indicate
Unmistakably that he does not fa
vor such a step at this time.
Speaking recently at the dedica
tion of a new veterans' hospital,
the President did not mention the
bonus by name but, after drawing
a graphic picture of the under
privileged, the unemployed and
the millions without proper food,
housing, medical attention or edu
cation, he insisted that the plight
of these millions of persons must
be relieved before any bonus pay
ments should be made to war vet
erans, who are "better off" than
the average of any other • great
group of citizens.
Twelve rural industrial commun
ities, housing from 150 to 700
families each, will be constructed
immediately with relief funds, ac
cording to Harry L. Hopkins, Re
lief Administrator. Detailed plans
for about fifty projects of this
kind have been made but money
is not available now for all of
them. The relief-built homes will

be sold or leased to occupants'
"very cheap.'
The plan may be illustrated by
a project now in progress in
Arkansas, where two hundred
houses have been erected at a cost
of between $650 and S9OO each.
Ultimately, some seven hundred
homes will be scattered over 30,-
000 acres and each unit, including
from twenty to thirty acres of
farm land, is expected to cost
around SI3OO. A similar undertak
ing in West Virginia embraces 150
small houses, now being built, and
two hundred additional units. Here i
a house and a ten-acre tract of
land is expected to cost SI6OO.
These rural projects are built with
relief labor and relief funds and
will be subsequently occupied by
families taken from relief rolls.
Whie officials declined to dis
close the location of various pro
jects in order not to interfere with
the acquisition of the necessary
land, it wias pointed out that other
government-financed housing in
rural and suburban areas is being
undertaken by the Subsistence
Homesteads organization, a unit in
the Interior Department, which
has allotted $17,943,470 to 17 dif
ferent projects. Allotments for
these vary from SIOO,OOO to nearly
a million dollars and tentative
f lans include projects in Alabama,
Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticutt,
Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Mich
igan, Montana, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and
the Virgin Islands.
Along this line, it should be
pointed out that work relief is
likely to be the government's ans
wer to the threat of permanent
unemployment. Realizing that
there will be a large body of job
less people for years to come un
less the government makes jobs
by undertaking public works, some
officials are urging that the field
of public construction be widened.
At this time, among other things
relief workers are tearing down,
building and repairing homes, doc
toring and nursing the unemploy
ed canning meats and vegetables,
making mattresses, clothing end
furniture for relief use, conducting
diet and health campaigns and
working on schools, roads, sewers,
airports, public buildings, water
works, dams, irrigation ditches,
malaria control drainage systems,
swimming pools, levees, parks,
fish hatcheries, playgrounds and
hdspitals.
Bankers from large as well as
small institutions seem to be anx
ious to inaugurate a policy of co
operation with the recovery pro
