Relief Plans Criticised
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Rec. December 9, 10 p.m.)
Washington, December 8.
Senator Walsh in a bitter address condemning President Hoover’s unemployment relief proposals, and exhorting Democrats to prepare their own programme, demanded that the rich should pay the cost of supplying the workless with jobs. ‘‘Soup kitchens and free beds have their place as stop-gaps," he said, “but what the unemployed want Is not a dole. They want an opportunity to work.
“Those who have incomes of 50,000, and 100,000, and .1,000,000 dollars a year have got to meet the expense of this emergency. I call on these men with their fortunes for increased taxes.”
He drew attention to recent speeches by prominent men such as Professor Nicholas Murray Butler, the prominent American publicist, which warned of the danger of social revolution unless the problems of unemployment and depression were solved.
