". . . It is particularly fitting that the program for this year covers the broad subject of the elimination of slum conditions, for this kills two birds with one stone--the improvement of living conditions and at the same time the giving of employment to many of those who are now out of work.
". . . I hope that [you] will be able to arouse the interest and the cooperation of the executives of all of the cities in the country, large and small, for it goes almost without saying that no city can boast of conditions which do not need to be improved."
