Hopkins Says Not Good
Policy to Give Independ

nationsFood Not Short
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1934.
WASHINGTON, June 7. (AP) A
shift In federal drought relief, by
which farmers will get paying Jobs In-
stead of doles for feed and. seed was
presaged today.
While President Roosevelt was per
sonally asserting It a federal duty to
aid those In distress, his relief chief
Harry L. Hopkins expressed to con
gressmen from affected states a feel
, lng that It was not good policy to
donate to farmers who had been in
dependent all their lives.
"We believe It Is better to give them
i-cash benefits bo they can make their
own decisions regarding feed for their
stock and seed for their crops," he
said.
Keep Crop Restriction.
Meanwhile Chester Davis, farm ad
justment administrator, apparently
checked, a move by the legislators to
adopt a resolution asking the farm
administration to lift crop restrictions
to permit growing of forage crops on
contracted acreage. He said the de
partment was willing to go that far
only when farm leaders and depart
ment representatlvca In the field re
ported It necessary,
Davis said the majority of farmers
. In the corn-hog control program re
garded their contracts as "serious
things' and were not ready to have
them abrogated.
At press conference, In connection
with preparations for his request that
congress vote $625,000,000 for drought
relief, the president spoke of the tens
of thousands of families affected by
the drought. There need be no fear
of food shortage, however, he empha
sised. Many Get Relief.
To the meeting at the capitol, Hop
kins said his relief agency would be
earing for 300,000 families in drought
territory by the end of the week and
that 150,000 of these were already de
riving a- living from work projects.
It was explained earlier that the pro
gram would Include work on roads,
conservation of water supplies, soil
erosion and similar projects.
He estimated more than a million
persona were receiving government
benefits as the result of the drought.
In reply to a suggestion that the
relief administration should not pay
too high a wage level In farm areas,
Hopkins said he had no Intention of
setting up a big public works program
"at miserably low wage rates" as long
as he was "running the show." He
added there would be no "exploitation
of the people" because of the situa
tion. Under the work program, he said,
farmers will be paid a minimum wage
of 30 cents an hour, the scale above
that to be determined by the states
on the basis of existing schedules.
