Roosevelt PWA relief plan tests Republican core aims
President Roosevelt launches a relief experiment using 22.7 million dollars in Public Works Administration funds for direct state grants. The plan shares 45 percent federal and 65 percent local costs, requires 100 percent relief labor, and targets permanent improvements like schools and water systems. Supporters frame it as restoring local control, while critics doubt its practicality and merit based selection. The piece also notes international diplomacy quirks around Italy, Ethiopia, and Emperor Haile Selassie amid Mussolini's moves.
