£200,000 GIFT FOR RELIEF
DETROIT SENATOR’S OFFER
SYMPATHY FOR UNEMPLOYED PUBLIC FINANCE DERANGED MONTHLY DRAIN OF £300,000 By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Detroit, Aug; 22. Senator Couzens, formerly Mr. Henry Ford’s partner, to-day offered a million dollars (£200,000) for the relief of unemployed here during the coming winter. He had unsuccessfully tried to secure a sitting of a special session oi Con’gress, Mr. Couzens told the Mayor, to deal with the question of unemployment from a national point of view, “but,” he said, “it is more important to me that the unemployed should be properly cared’ for than that my views should be adopted.” •
Mr. Couzens asked that an additional £1,800,000 should be raised for the same purposes. The finances of Deroit and the State of Michigan are seriously deranged as a result of monthly outlays of £300,000 for welfare and relief during the past year.
