to tho American people to support generously private relief agencies, President Hoover today, outlined to welfare and business leaders four salient points In caring for the nation's needy. They wore, first, "to sco that no man, woman or child shall go hungry or unsheltered thru tlio approaching winter." Second, "to see that our great benevolent agencies (or character building, (or liospitalization, for caro of children ami all Ihoir vnsl number agencies of a sollcltlde for tho less fortunate are maintained in full strength." Third, "(o maintain tho bedrock principle ol our liberties full, niobilizalioii o( Individual and local resources and responsibilities." Fourth, "that, we maintain the spiritual impulses In our people for generous giving and Eeuorous sen-ice --in the spirit that each Is his broth- 1 er's keeper," The president spoke at tbe white house to several hundred noted figures in American social service and: in- duslrial life.

He assorted, however, that altho greater i i may bo encountered tbls year in obtaining private subscriptions, was "confident that you will succeed." "Our people," ho said, "are the most generous of all peoples." Praising the previous generous ro- sponscs to local relief societies, tbe president outlined federal relict projects--the $300,000,000 (und, mammoth building programs.

"With those back logs behind: your efforts and those of local authorities," Mr. Hoover asserted, "we must make sure that no American will this win- tor go hungry or cold.

"These programs of tho govcrn- Hmont are based upon the continuation of your services. They presuppose adequate neighborhood support to your ettorts, which still comprise a largo part of our reliance. They pro- suppose that the thousands of agencies which in normal times carry the load of distress shall function this winter lo their utmost capacity.
