EACH CITIZEN
IS URGED TO
AH) CHARITY
WASHINGTON Oct. 16. (#)—
Every citizen today was called upon
by Pres. Roosevelt to support p.1-
**»te charities relieving human dis-
tress.
His appeal from the White House
last night opened the four weeks
mobilization for human needs un-
der the direction of Newton D. Bak-
er. former secretary of war. Mr.
Roosevelt said the government's
promise to let no one starve was
“predicted on the assumption" that
every individual would “continue to
do his or her part."
The president described those who
would put all relief work on the
government and "deny the civic
responsibility of the individual” as
“buck passers.” he added:
"The overwhelming majority of
the American people understand
clearly that it is first the duty of
individual and the local community
to do all they can to maintain re-
lief and welfare; that is then the
obligation of the state government
to supplement local efforts and that
finally if all this put together is
not sufficient the federal govern-
ment stands ready to help.
“I ask every citizen to give his or
her support to the community chests
and to other organizations that
raise funds for the regular welfare
services bodies which express the in-
stincts of charity of humanity and
neighborliness. They are an essen-
tial to the whole American scheme
of life."
