CLEVELAND, C.--"If I am elected chief executive of this country, the federal budget is going to be balanced!" Gov. Alf M. Landon told a wildly enthusiastic crowd which overflowed the public auditorium here. "But it is not going to be balanced at the expense of our needy unemployed," he said. "They are entitled to ample relief for their needs and I shall see that they get it." Following through with a ringing denunciation of waste and politics in relief under the Roosevelt administration, he deciared: "Nobody in America knows exactly how many of our citizens are out of work, how many are on relief. "This administration has found time to make tourist guide books. It has found money to classify fossils. It has spent seven and one-half billion dollars of the taxpayers' money in the name of relief. But it has found neither time nor money to inform itself of the extent and nature of the relief problem." Gov. Landon pledged himself to the Republican formula of state administration of relief, aided b y grants from the federal government. He proposed these four conditions: State and local governments should bear a fair share of the cost. All engaged in the administration of relief should be afrosen on their merit. Relief clients should be allowed to take temporary jobs, returning tp relief rolls when the jobs are finished, and an employment service should be operated to assist them. Public works should be undertaken on their merit and not confused with relief administration, He summed up the "box score" of the Roosevelt administration: "Twenty-five billion dollars spent. "Thirteen billion dollars added to the public debt. " Eleven million unemployed left on base."
