Attention was. called by -NIr.

"-ro, those Who have studied road building it is (jtité app)arent that there is nio better way than through Pederal: goverli- nment guidance as pronounced through Federal Aid. Federal Aid. therefore, is doubly valuable at.,a tiîne lik hs when men necd work. . 4. I is. indeed fortuniate that Fed- cral inonies will, be extended on -a, fairly large scàle during coining r years Th9iisands and thousands of year would have been out of jobs if. these funds had been curtailed. Tbe ~350,000 road nmen at work in 1931 rep- resented, considering their faniilies, soilie 1,500,000 individuals. Fede rai piarticipation was responsible for the %vell being of at least a third of these People. "On the other hand it would bc dii,- tinctly unfortunate if Federal cooper- ation were to be reduced in an vde- gree, for the history of state road building shows that not only lias Fed- eral Aid led the states to tlîink in progressive terns but also to throw more eniergy and devote more rnoney to. road building than they would otlierwise have done. Business con- ditions are such that public construc- tion as a bulwark against unem-. ploymient is vividly revealed. To re- duce Federal funds would, be to add- riateriall to the nation's jobless."
