Way Left Open
for Compromise
on Relief Bills
Movement Made in Senate Looking
to Plan to End the Deadlock
Propose Compromise
Washington President Hoover, in
a clear delineation of his riews on
relief, Tuesday opened the way to
talk of a compromise on the thorn
iest question that has troubled this
session of congress. The president
gave an analysis of his reasons for
opposing the use of federal money to
feel citizens in a statement which
characterized the proposal as one
which struck "at the very roots of
sell government." His statement,
however, couched in moderate lang
uage, was followed by a perceptible
easing of tension on capitol hill, and
for the first time since the outcome
of relief proposals became obscured
by the haze of acrid debate, there
came talk of compromise.
In his statement, the president
said: "I am willing to pledge my
self that if the time should ever come
that the voluntary agencies of the
country, together with the local and
state governments are unable to find
resources with which to prevent hun-
ger auu sunering in my country, 1 tne cnarge muue in me wuib, um

President Hoover's statement ex
pressed the fear of the thief execu
tive that if once the government has
turned its hand toward pushing the
car; of relief, that volunteered by
j private citizen will be lifted and th'
.sense of local, individual responsibil
ity to care for the needy would be
dissipated. The president said it was
not a question whether people should
go hungry or 4tt?d, but of the hes
method by which hunger and cold
could be combatted.
"It Is a question as to whether the
American people on the one hand wJl
maintain the spirit o? charity i : '
mutual self help thru voluntary giv
ing and the responsibility of local
government as distinguished on the
other hand from appropriations out
of the federal trcr.sury for such pur
poses," he said.
