The problem in California, la little different from other states. The most amazing conclusion Is that the national concept of relief la all wrong. The basic theory of the report la that relief la not an emerg ency problem, but a permanent one For Instance, if business suddenly should become 100 per cent active all along the line, there probably would be between eight and nine million unemployed lett In the country. A nermanent policy must therefore be devised. Such action fs also financially de sArable beaMse experienced welfare executives told the economist Inves tigators they could meet the Cali fornia problem with one-half or less of the state and federal funds now being provided. The first thing to be done, In the opinion of the Investigators, la to get the federal government out or xne re lief busines, actually and not theor etically. The permanent program should be undertaken by citizens of each local community who can best weed out their own undeserving oases and know the extent of need among the deserving. These citizens should be outstanding men of practical ex perlence In business. The report does not decide where the money should come from, but It does conclude that the federal gov ernment should handle only the In terstate movement of indigent or near-Indigent transients. The recommendations were drawn from the following set of facta de veloped in the investigation: Cost of California relief increased 65 per cent during the last year .fis cal, ending June 30). The number on relief Increased about the same' (peek of 800,000 residents and 73,000 federal transients Inst March). Cur rent annual expenditure for relief and welfare will total around $160,000,000 and overshadows any other single ac tivity In the state. The 6 BRA has 13,000 employes In administration work. It Is a federal organi7AMon wim pernoniin aMTiaieu by Washington. Unitl .recently, this outfit was dominated principally by soclsl workers and others Imbued with general social service philosophy. Relief standards they have set up are higher than In niim other states and have attracted Indigents from such states as Oklahoma, Arkinsas. etc. The San Diego Pacific exposition has helped to Increase the business of this coming city 40 per cent above last year. (Business would have In creased about 15 per cent or more anyway.) Average dally attendance has been around 39.000, sliding off from a Labor day peek of 74.000 to around 18,000. Two-thirds of the visitors were from California and most of them from the southern half of the state.
