President Roosevelt called upon the people of the nation to lighten the load of government expenditures for unemployment re lief thru the 1934 mobilization for human needs. In an address opening a campaign for private charities, headed by New ton D. Baker, of Ohio, Mr. Roosevelt said the government counted upon a continuation of private contribu tions to private organizations. He called for a "decentralization of re lief." "I hope that you will well real ize," he said, "that it is contrary to a sound public policy to transfei more burdens to the shoulders ol government if it can possibly be avoided, and therefore, that private charity should, as a matter of good citizenship, be maintained at least at current levels. Mr. Baker joined in the program inaugurating the 1934 private reliet campaign. In his address, President Roosevelt said in part: "For the second successive yeai I am making a direct and frank ap peal to the country to give support to worthy local charities of all kinds. You will recognize the nec essity of the general rule which pre vents the president of the United States from asking for assistance or contributions on behalf of any speci fic or individual good cause. In this case, however, there is in existence a central organization called the "1934 mobilization for human needs." The object of this mobilization is to encourage and tie in together the many private organizations which are seeking funds to carry on their very essential and necessary work for the coming year. "May I very simply explain to you two facts which all of us should bear in mind? "The first is that the federal gov ernment, the state governments and local governments are bearing an unusually heavy load of expendi tures for relief and employment pur posesa load so heavy that every good citizen should seek to lighten it in every way possible. This effort on the part of governments of all kinds to bear their share of the em ergency needs proceeds very clcariy on the assumption that the tota1 amount of relief and human needs heretofore borne by private contri butions to private organizations, will continue in the future at least at the same pace and in the same amount as in the past. "The other point I would make is that none of us wants to eliminate the personal factor in taking care of human needs. Surely none ol you wants to centralize the care of relief either in Washington or in your state capitol or in your city hall. The decentralization of relief the keeping of it in the hands of private organizations as much as we possibly can means that persona? relationships, personal contacts, per sonal obligations and personal op portunities to do good will be pre served." PERMISSION TO KILL Sofia, Bulgaria. Every citizen ol the kingdom was given the right to shoot down on sight the notorious Macedonian revolutionist Ivan Mi- hailoff and five associates. The gov ernment declared all six men out side the pale of all laws. NOVAK AUTO CO.
