Dear Mr. President,
The enclosed suggestions may interest you. They
are merely statements of facts, presentand future.
Former cummunications have not been adequately
answered. I have received no recognition for them,
nor, except two months of the " Projects of Art,"
any financial return from them. Probably they
never reached your hands.
While go many others, with fer less vision, less
ability and no more practical training, can have a hand
in helping shape a new country, it seems to me that
I - too - should have at least the opportunity
afforded these others of making a living.
The woodblock prints attached may interest you
somewhat. Do with them what you will.

To President Roosevelt,
Clarence Darrow's report on the N.R.A. told you nothing
more than I had already told you in the manuscript you
received from me on September 22nd, 1933.
In this, too, was, - as I took for granted, the basis
of what Sebator Black introduced as the 30 hour bill,
forrunner of N.R.A. code hours.
My letter of Nov. 28th, relating principally to Subsistance
farms, suggested the wholesale buying of household electro-
al utilities, - an orgainization for which was set up
something more than two months later.
Has any member of the 11 brain-trust " a. better batting average ?
Every defect in the present system, every arugmentat ive
article in every code, every occasion for every strike, past,
present and future, - every crime ( which is growing con-
stantly,) all unemployment ( and there are at least ten
million unemployed ) can be st opped, absolutely cured, for
all time, - when the remaining suggestions in this same
mentioned manuscript are carried out, - and the troubles
are going to increase by leaps and bounds until these
suggestions are carried out.
The period of business for profit has had its day. The
N.R.A. has lengthened this period a year or so, but even
a thirty hour week is too long.
DO AWAY WITH MONEY - ABSOLUTELY - and do business for
service, service only, and service to all who come.
What happens ?
You do away with bank clerks and crooked officers; stock
markets and crooked manipulators; racketeers and crooked
politicians and police officers; advertising of all kinds
with its lying solicitors and purveyors of fatuous radio
blurbs; there would be no money made, or stamps printed;
half of the work of magazine publishing houses would stop;
stores of all kinds would be consolidated to one tenth of
their present number; inefficient, poorly equipped manufact or-
ing plants would be closed.
There have never been more than 45,000,000 people gainfully
employed in this country. Doing away with money, and its
allied activities would relase 10,000,00 of these. The
10,000,000 already doing nothing make 20,000,000 people to
put to work doing things that need to be done, new housing,
making building materials of all kinds, plumbing, radios,
electric refrigerators, renges and water heaters, furniture,
playground equipment, new streets and street-lighting systems,
2 -
building modern food processing plants at points of
production, operating the food delivery system,-
thousands of trained men and women would be put to work
teaching in schools, colleges and trade-schools, and in
newly opened 19 opportunity schools # for those adults
who had no educational chances when young; - thousands
more would work in hospitals, many more of which are
needed, giving new health to the hundreds of thousands
who need treatments of various kinds but # can't afford it 11
now ; - thousands of ertists, scupltors and architects
would be creatively busy 9% and no one will work for money,
and no one will work for fame, - but each for the joy of
the working etc " beautifying the millions of places that
need it in this country. " As there is no such thing as
cost there is no reason to compromise with either flimsiness
or ugliness, and neither will be tolerated II
Hundreds of other things to be done, and after a year or so
at thirty hours a week it would need only fifteen hours, or
perhaps only tenn and the balance of the time would be spent
joyfully, for recreation, studyandı rest which would fully
prepare the worker for a one hundred per cent day's work
tomorrow.
THERE ISN'T A GOOD THING IN THIS WORLD, NOW DONE WITH OR
BECAUSE OF MONEY, THAT CANNOT BE DONE BETTER, AND FAR EASIER,
WITHOUT IT ! Without money fully fiftyper cent of the
world's present commercial activities would be done away with
Most of them are perfecty useless anywey. Do away with
money and everybody is to be productively engaged ( excepting
of course the aged and infirm ) and everybudyis going to have,
at the end of 3 day's work, the satisfaction of a job well
done.
A man's value to society, not measurable in, - and never yet
compensated for by, - money, will thus have a chance of
being recognized and acknowledged.

Dear Mr. McIntyre:
We have just received a copy of your letter of
June 19th to Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, and take great
pleasure in telling you that we are sending a carton of
Chevron D'or Orange Sauterne to the White House. I feel
sure that if you have occasion to sample our wine that
you will find it intriguingly different and most pleasant.
It is a naturally fermented wine which contains citric
acid instead of tartaric acid and is therefore "on the
alkaline side".

May I congratulate you on the selection
of Hawaii for your summer cruise - - a
perfect choice?
I know that you will indeed enjoy this
'Paradise of the Pacific', with its liquid
sunshine, its velvet breezes, and its odd
and interesting mixture of humanity. For
six months I myself had this glorious ex-
perience.
I am sending you under separate cover a

American Pluck", which please accept with
my compliments to the 'Man of the Hour'
(probably the busiest man in the world
today.) I believe you will enjoy my
'economy slant' on travel for educational
purposes.
Most sincerely,

Sir:-
Although I know it is practically a forlorn hope to get a letter,
and still more a book, under your own eye, I am making the attempt by
sending under separate cover by this mail, a copy of my newly published
book "NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION", a little brochure of less than
200 pages.
In it you will find a full exposition of the "New Economics" that
is slowly coming to the surface. The turn in the tide occurred about
the time President Green published an article by me based on this book
in the October 1930 issue of the American Federationist. At that time
economists and industrialists were preaching the gospel of thrift.
Since that time there has been a ground swell toward the gospel of
spending. But it requires a knowledge of the principles expounded in
this little book to understand what the gospel of spending really means;
and to appreciate that there is only one way of realizing it.
Mussolini with his "Corporate State" and Gerard Swope with his
Industrial Organization, both borrowed from my Address to the League
for Industrial Democracy. But both rejected the one feature for which
the organization stands-- the FINANCIAL SYSTEM. They are both perversions.
Should you see fit to look the book over, I would suggest that you
begin by reading Appendix No.1. If that does not inspire a desire to
read the book, nothing else will. The Article was written as a special
appeal to you. But President Green refused to publish it.

Dear Mr. President,
About two months ago I delivered a
with of my new book, CAPITAL AND INTEREST, to the Hon. Martin copy Dies,
the request that he take it to you and present it to
me faithfully that he would do this, but I have received no
personally with my respectful compliments. Mr. Dies promised you
acknowledgment from your office to date.
this matter if I did not feel sure you would thank me for it
Mr. President, I would not bother you with
when you have read the book. Your home-town newspaper, the
Knickerbocker Press, of Albany, N. Y., says, in part, about my book:
"It is one of the best books to come
off the press. It ranks, as a departure from the
stultifying normal of volumes on what is wrong with
our economic system, with Guy Mallon's "Bankers V.S.
Consumers", with C. H. Douglas's work, and with
John Strachey's "The Coming Struggle for Power!
In a final chapter the author suggests, among
other things, that banking be a function of govern-
ment and not of private individuals
"If Dr. Anderson's arguments are not
very much to the point and a challenge to every one
of us, then I know not the meaning of a challenge".
Would it be imposing on your time too much,
Mr. President, to ask that you extend me the great favor of
requesting Mr. Dies to deliver this book to you if he has not
done so already? And in any event, would it be asking too
much to request that I be notified whether he has delivered it?
Thanking you very kindly for any courtesy
you may extend to me, I am,
Your obedient servant,
Montgormry D. Andreson

LEGACIÓN DE PANAMÁ
WASHINGTON
June 28, 1934.
My dear Mr, Welles:
During the visit of President Arias to Washington,
I had the honor of being asked to the tea with which
President and Mrs. Roosevelt greeted President Arias
the afternoon of his arrival.
During the pleasant conversation over the tea cups,
President Roosevelt mentioned the fact that William H.
Aspinwall, who is so closely connected with the history
of Panama, on account of his prominent part in the con-
struction of the Panama Rail Road and the foundation of
the city of Colon, was related to his ancestors, and he
narrated some interesting anecdotes of that great pio-
neer in the field of continental transportation and trade.
I have recently been able to acquire a copy of the
book published by Dr. F. N. Otis in 1867 and entitled
"History of the Panama Rail Road", where of course,
reference is made to Aspinwall and where many curious data
may be found as to events and conditions on the Isthmus
nearly a century ago. Remembering the delightful con-
versation at the White House and in view of the coming
trip of the President to the Isthmus I have thought that
he might be interested in reading this book on his way
South. I take the liberty, therefore, of asking you to
present this book to the President with my best wishes
for a bon voyage, and I hope he will do me the honor of
accepting this modest token of my respect and admiration,
With an expression of my appreciation for your
courteous attention to this request, believe me, my dear
Mr. Welles,
Very sincerely yours,
R. J. ALFARO.

Miss Marguerite Le Hand
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Miss Le Hand :
A few days ago I became acquainted
with the details of what seemed to me an interesting
story and I thought after due deliberation that I
might pass it along to you.
A woman painter who was a very dear
friend of my wife's mother several months ago came
across a photograph in the New York Times rotogravure
section of Sistie Dall sitting at a piano practicing
a music lession. The thing struck her as irresistibly
paintable. She spent three months doing three oils
from this photograph, two of which she discarded and
the third she felt did justice to the subject SO far
as her talents permitted. Hertask was perhaps more
arduous as she is struggling against failing sight.
It was the intention of Mrs. Abbott
(Elenore Abbott of Philadelphia) to send the portrait
as a gift to the President, of whom she is a tremendous
admirer, but one of the art editors of the Times, who
saw and liked it veryumuch, asked to show it in the
Times window on the occasion of the President's
birthday. This was done. Later this art editor wanted
Mrs. Abbott to let Parents' Magazine have it for a
cover. After obtaining consent from Mrs. Dall, she
gave permission, with the understanding that the
original be sent subsequently to the President. The
portrait was to have appeared a S the cover for June.
WER AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
- 2 -
Mrs. Abbott told me this story and asked
if I thought I could inquire in some way if the portrait
was received at the White House. She was SO eager to
know whether the President had seen it that I found it
impossible to deny her request, feeling certain you
would understand. I know she was very much bothered
about the commercial tinge that might have been given
to the transaction with Parents' Magazine.
Of course I am not familiar with the
procedure by which such things are handled at the White
House. If the picture did not happen to come to your
attention, please do not go to any trouble about it.
I trust the President will soon be
granted relief from the burden he is working under and
find some rest and pleasure on his proposed cruise.
Bill Conklin and Jack OBrien and I just the other day
reviewed all the adventures of the past expeditions on
the Barge Canal and the St. Lawrence and regretted
that such things could be no more, at least no more
under the old informal circumstances. Perhaps some
day the President will feel an urge to see the St.
Lawrence and the rapids again, before they are all
cluttered up with power dams and locks and such things.
With best wishes to you and Miss Tully
and Gus and the others, I am
Sincerely yours,

100% more than our works indicate.

of Bajo cubierta por separado tengo el gusto de enviar
a su excelencia un ejemplar de un libro sobre Prosodia y Ortografia de
la Lengua Gastellana que mi padre, el senor Manuel M. Arroyo G., escribio
antes de su muerte, y cuyo ejemplar me permito obsequiar a su excelencia.
Fue el deseo de mi senor padre ver este libro de texto
en las escuelas de Puerto Rico, pero debido a que el murio antes de que
el libro saliera de la imprenta y a que sus hijos eramos N en aquel entonces
demasiado jovenes para comprender y llevar a cabo su deseo, solo ahora es
que estamos tratando de verlo cumplido.
Como me consta el gran interes que demuestra su excelen-
cia por Puerto Rico, asi como el deseo que tiene de que en los Estados Unidos
se aprenda el espanol para conseguir por este medio una union mas estrecha
con los paises latino-americanos y un mejor comprendimiento espiritual que
ayude a la intensificacion del comercio de estas naciones entre si, me he
tomado esta libertad en la esperanza de que una vez su excelencia haya es-
tudiado y visto la importancia de este libro, tendra la bondad de recomen-
darlo no solo para las escuelas de Puerto Rico, que, dicho sea de paso, mucha
falta les hace un libro asi, sino tambien para la alta escuela de este pais
donde hoy se estudia con ahinco el idioma castellano, gracias a la campana
que en pro de esta lengua, tanto su excelencia como el honorable Secretario
de Estado, senor Hull, estan haciendo.

zo que su excelencia tenga la bondad de hacer para que este libro sea decla-

The President asks me to thank
you for your letter of September 6th,
which he found very interesting, as
he did the puzzles, which arrived
safely.
He appreciates your courtesy in
writing him, and I might say, confi-
dentially, that both the children and

Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt
President of the United States
Hyde Park, New York
My dear Mr. Roosevelt:
Last Sunday, September 2, I drove to Hyde Park and was permitted
to drive to Valkill and have a chat with Gus, because of our association
at Warm Springs. I was indeed honored by your friendly wave as we drove
away from Valkill. Let me assure you that I shall always remember that
eventful afternoon.
In explanation I should say that I spent six months in 1930 and
six months in 1931 at Warm Springs, where I had the great honor of
meeting you and associating with you. Since my return to Pennsylvania,
I have become very active in politics and at present am the Democratic
nominee for the General Assembly from the first district of Blair County.
My chances for election this fall appear to be excellent and from all
indications I believe that the next session of the State Legislature
will support the New Deal in every way.
Recently I have become acquainted with a man who is a past-master
in the art of puzzle-making, He has given me many puzzles which have
afforded me many hours of pleasant relaxation and because of this, I
have taken the liberty of mailing you a number of these puzzles under
seperate cover, The thot came to me that these puzzles might be made
and sold at Warm Springs and that such an enterprise could easily be
made to provide a large sum of money for the Patients' Aid Fund, As
the man to whom I refer has an almost unlimited variety of puzzles, I
believe that quite a business might be carried on by the National
Patients' Committee, Most of the puzzles could be easily made by the
patients and the work could be carried on similarly to the Craft work.
I am certain that this plan could be developed into a means of raising
funds for the Foundation and that such a plan would be totally lacking
in many of the objectional features that sometimes present themselves
in similar endeavors. I have already written to Mr. Carpenter concerning
this matter and am awaiting his reply.
In conclusion I wish to assure you of my most sincere belief in
the policies of your administration and to promise my earnest support
whether or not I am elected this Fall. I am running on a straight
Roosevelt, New Deal platform.
Wishing you the best of health and the greatest amount of happiness,
I have the honor to remain,
Your faithful servant

Mr. Roosevelt, I am sending you this fine stick, a present to you.
I am 69 years old. You have done so much good for the people since
you have been in your office. I did all I could to get you in this
office and you did not fool me. You are the man I said you were, it
looks like. Might send you one of my sticks and sometime you may have
a second-hand car you might give me. My wife and I are very old and
can do but little. A white man got me to send you this stick that I
made in my old age. He said "you don't know what he might give you"
but I am not looking for anything for my stick, but I do want to get
a letter from you so I can show it to my friends and it will cause you
to get a thousand more votes in your next election and that will make
me help you more next time because I want you to hold this office.
Please let me hear from you.

I am glad that the President liked the little books.
On September 28th I wrote Mr. McIntyre from whom I
had had a letter on June 8th, asking him to let me
know when I could see the President in reference to
a book which I am writing for Dodd, Mead & Company,
on our Navy and Merchant Marine. As I have not
heard from Mr. McIntyre I take the liberty of asking
you to bring this to the President's attention.
A very brief chat would accomplish my purpose and
would be very greatly appreciated by my publishers
and myself. The entire shipping interests of the
United States will be greatly benefited by this
forthcoming book.
I am a cousin of James Truslow Adams.

My dear Mr. President:-
I am sending you the "Birthday Album" containing the autograph of guests at
the "Birthday Party" given in your honor by the All States Officers Society for
the benefit of the "Warm Springs Foundation."
This album also has a list of the state societies in Washington, with their
president and secretary.
Forty-four states were represented at the ball , when we were honored by the
presence of your gracious and charming wife.
Since the completion of the binding of the volume, which was mid-summer, there
has seemed no fitting time for a formal presentation
It seems fitting that this momento should be handed you now when you are in
Warm Springs, which was the object of the undertaking, and I am therefore, in the
name of the All States Officers Society of Washington, D. C., transmitting this
"Birthday Album" to you.
Most sincerely
EV Hoffheins,
President.
