President Roosevelt liked the idea and is said to have expressed a determination to see that the law is enacted before the expiation of his 3rd term. And Mr. Roosevelt’s Treasury experts argue that inasmuch as the states have all been glad-to accept billions in funds from WPA, PWA and other federal agencies—not to mention outright doles, farm subsidies, highway aid and river and harbor appropriations— they should not object if Uncle Sam decides to take over the whole business. Some of the more thoughtful leaders in the various states, however, . are suddenly growing fearful of too much concentration of power in the federal government.
