In 1931 and 1932 I went into towns where children were eating out of garbage pails. People were living in hovels. no pictures on the walls, no carpets on the floors, no music in the homes. The working population was suffering and in too many instances was starving. Disease, sickness and poverty were rampant, and death stalked in the wake of every worker's family because he could not purchase medicine.
