THIS GEM FROM FDR WAS IN THE LAST AMREICAN LEGION PUBLICATION.

TO DOLE OUT RELIEF IN THIS WAY IS TO ADMINISTER A NARCOTIC, A SUBTLE DESTROUYER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT.  IT IS INIMICAL TO THE DICTATES OF SOUND POLICY.  IT IS IN VIOLATION OF THE TRADITIONS OF AMERICA.  WORK MUST BE FOUND FOR ABLE-BODIED BUT DESTITUTE WORKERS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST AND SHALL QUIT THIS BUSINESS OF RELIEF.   JAN 4, 1935.  FDR'S message to congress.
