Why do we not. before the fall of the gavel on next Saturday. pass the Wagner bill for relief to the cities and the communities dealing with their people. .I now want to read you what the major general of the National Guard in New York. that distinguished soldier. William N. Haskell. has to say about this proposition: From experience with refugee. destitute. and migrating populations. as allied high commissioner in Armenia. director of American relief in Russia and Rumania. and as Red Cross commissioner in Greece. handling Smyrna refugees. also as recent chairman of mayors committee for relief in New York. I urge defeat of the Couzens amendment to the Army bill. Such a method of attempting to solve the problem of vagrant boys is positively wrong. a foolish waste of money. and will aggravate the situation by inviting more boys to leave home communities where they should be encouraged to stay or return.
