Roosevelt,\nPresident of the United States,\nWashington, D.C.\nSir:\nI am taking the liberty of sending you a copy of a little booklet\nentitled \"A Road to Opportunity\", which I have written in a purely pri-\nvate capacity, offering suggestions for more permanent relief for those\nnow deprived of a normal chance to make a living.\nShould you take time to read it, you may note that I am heartily\nin accord with the ultimate objectives of the \"New Deal\" but that I am\nnot hopeful of accomplishing permanent results by the present policy of\nartificially raising prices and of increasing public debt. There still\nseems to be lacking a workable plan that shall definitely offer to each\nof our citizens for all time a chance to earn an honest living.\nAs I am constantly surrounded by fine young men facing what is prob-\nably the most discouraging thing a young man can face - futility, hopeless\ninactivity - it seems that I cannot refrain from offering some suggestions\nbased partly on observations made in Russia in 1930, suggestions which\nmight at least serve as a starting point for a more satisfacto ry system.\nSince you are the man with the best understanding of the situation\nand the most opportunity for accomplishment, I am sending this copy of\n\"A Road to Opportunity\" to you direct. Should any of these suggestions\nprove to be of value in again offering opportunity to our people, it will\nbe a fine thing; if not, there is no harm done.\nWishing you all the success in the world, I am\nVery respectfully yours,\nD.
