To provide these services is a matter of basic justice. But it is also a matter of our own best interests. Our national welfare demands that rural areas be able to attract and hold people. For every day our newspapers tell us of the problems of crowded cities. filled increasingly with rural migrants who are unprepared for urban life. and which the cities are equally unready to absorb. And hard experience tells us that when a man moves from an impoverished rural area. he is all too likely to settle in an urban slum. So it is in everyones interest to bring new vitality to rural America.
