SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, March
12.—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt walk-
ed through the squalid San Juan
slums Saturday, talked with their
poverty-stricken inmates and then
conferred with welfare workers re-
garding remedies.
Following the First Lady through
the narrow, grimy, puddle-marked
streets were the clamoring populace,
harking dog^, sqpealing pigs and
naked children.
Once she stopped near a pool of
dirty water swarming with flies, and
asked a photographer to take a pic-
ture of it to show really what it
is like.
Again she was shocked upon en-
tering the poor home of a mother
suffering from tuberculosis and was
told the family had not had relief or
food for a week, eating only rice and
beans shared by a neighbor. This
was due, the woman said, to a change
in the relief reporting forms in Wash-
ington.
Mrs. Roosevelt was deeply touched
with the way the women tried their

“We are just emerging from a dis-

is especially fitting that we should
be giving more study as individuals,
and as a commonwealth, to ways and
means of achieving financial inde-
