Says Townsend Plan Starts At Wrong End
(Received 10 a m.) ' / NEW YORK, March 31. Dr. F. E. Townsend plans academies of Democracy in each of the 435 congressional districts to teach his followers the details of his pensions plan. He has received no offers of loans yet. He hopes to repay loans from the profits on his weekly newspaper.’ Mrs Ruth Chatfield, a civic leader of Baldwin, Long Island., says the Townsend plan starts at the wrong end. > She proposes a similar loan of 10,000,000 dollars to stimulate the birth rate by paying a bonus of 500 dollars to the parents of each child. She says persons ought to be helped when they are young, instead of when they are too old to enjoy life to the full.
