Hopkins Relief Testimony Signals Deep Crisis in New Deal
The piece cites Harry Hopkins testimony to a House committee noting 3.853 million dependents on federal relief as of March first, with total near 15 million on federal aid and 10 million under state and local relief. It criticizes Hopkins, questions the relief program’s viability, and traces relief shifts from NRA and PWA to CWA and WPA, warning of mounting debt and political pushback.
