That veterans of the World War and Spanish War who are in need of relief shall be given preference for employment by the Works Progress AdminIstration. The amendment which the Senator from Arizona indicates should stay in the bill is much less drastic than the provisions of the present law. and the added appropriation of $250.000.000 this year is made subject to its limitations. The amendment which the House put in the bill would allow those who are not eligible for citizenship. which would include Asiatics. criminals. imbeciles. those who are here under contract. and a group of others. to obtain relief. The law as It stands does not allow any of those people to be upon relief. It provides that if the funds are inadequate American citizens shall be cared for first. and then those who have declared their intention to become citizens. so those who are illegally in the United States and those who have not shown a sufficient interest in the Government to declare their intention to become citizens shall not be fed at the expense of the taxpayers.
