Roosevelt Pushes 22 Million Relief Plan Experiment
President Roosevelt has allocated 22.7 million dollars in Public Works Administration funds for direct relief grants to states. The plan requires 45 percent federal, 55 percent local funding and insists on 100 percent relief labor, with projects focused on permanent community improvements like schools and water systems. The move mirrors Republican relief ideas while sparking debate over merit based administration and political patronage.

Labor strains in New Deal relief projects and Ethiopia drift
The piece discusses skilled labor shortages in public works and the risk of communities pressuring relief programs to hire only relief labor. It notes the president’s approach to reach smaller communities, views the policy as an experiment, and contrasts it with earlier PWA relief methods. It then shifts to a foreign policy note on Mussolini’s Italy and Emperor Haile Selassie, explaining the Ethiopia issue, diplomatic titles, and U.S. recognition stance amid Manchuria and Japanese control.
