CONFIDENTIAL
Press Conference #7
White House Executive Offices,
March 29th, 1933, 10.28 A.M.
Q What type of organization are you going to set up to mobilize the un-
employed on this forestation program?
THE PRESIDENT: I cannot tell you anything definite yet. Probably I
will have to have somebody to act as director of the whole works,
but that means, of course, that he will have to work through ex-
isting Federal agencies. For instance, on the initial enrollment,
it will be the Department of Labor plus Army facilities, such as
trucks and things like that. Then the actual taking in of the men
to camp and maintaining them at camp will be an Army feature and the
actual work supervision - the supervision of the work will be either
an Interior problem or an Agriculture problem, one or the other.
Q Or both,
THE PRESIDENT: Or both.
Q Will that mean concentration camps?
THE PRESIDENTI: Do not use that word. It sounds too much like that which
some of us older people remember as used in the Cuban episode of
1907 and 1908. I do not know what you could call them. They are
merely way-stations to be used on the way to the camps, at which
the boys will be properly treated, outfitted and given a complete
medical examination. That is about all.
Q Why not call them cantonments?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, a cantonment has a more permanent sound. I hope
that we can keep them there just as short a time as possible. The
