An act to provide for the deportation of alien criminals has been enacted. A bill for the punishment of kidnaping in interstate cases. with heavy penalties. has been enacted. Recognizing that Congress. in its desperate emergency. was under the duty to pass some bill to relieve unemployment and the absolute starvation and destitution now prevailing among our people. the Democratic House drafted and passed the socalled Garner relief bill under the terms of which $100.000.000 are placed at the absolute disposal of the President to use as he sees fit and through agencies as he may select. to take care of the starving and destitute people when he becomes convinced that local charities and contributions can not further supply them.
