In Loston on January 24, Thomas E Dewey urged that the first duty of the national administration after the New Deal is to mobilize private enterprise to convert unemployment relief into jobs. He spoke at Mechanics Hall to three statewide Republican clubs with NBC coverage, arguing the budget can be balanced and that the New Deal has collapsed.
