the most dishonest dollar evercna, -
ed That indicates how party hnet

stroke at Savannah in defence of his
policies, scored what he called “Tory
critics” and found mounting appl
ause from his audience. The Roose
veltpersonality is as potent as ever
and personal popularity means much
to Presidents.
That’s where matters s^and at this

make or break the recovery program,
and make or break the Administra

ia still to be reached.

Dramatic and unprecedented, with
the vast potential achievements-that
describes the new Civil Works Ad
ministration. It is, in the vords of
the President, a blow at the dole, at
mentally debilitating charity which
is often as psychologically destnic
tive to the individual as it is socially
destructive to the country at large.
TbepMarpose is to give 4,000.000 men
work this winter on projects w ere
at last 80 cents of each dollar spent
will go for wages.
All able-bodied persons now receiv
