The Reconstruction Finance Corporation is equipped today to handle this business. I say to you. and I think I know the general attitude of President Roosevelt about as well as any man on the floor of this House. that this Congress does not sense the Presidents desire when he constantly refers to humanitys needs. as he did on yesterday. Is there any need of humanity so important as the education of your child and mine. the child who. 10 or 15 or 20 years from now. has to go out in the world and compete with the European and with the South American and with the Asiatic. and if he does not have the proper gray matter he is going down to defeat. We are just sitting idly by and we are doing nothing. I contend that we do not propose to do anything. when in certain communitiesand I am not thinking alone of Chicagothe teachers are actually starving.
