WASHINGTON, October 27
Doctor John Ryan, of the National Catholic Welfare Association, testifying before the United States Senate Economic Committee, charged the public officials and the influential classes of the United States with being indifferent to the human suffering that exists in the present time of depression. Dr. Ryan asserted: “They all seem to assume that her duty has been fully performed if none of the unemployed die of actual quick starvation.” He continued that at the same time the medical authorities have estimated that at least one person starves to death in the United States every seven hours, and, as a matter of fact, the starvation which has occurred was due to unemployment. and it was not all of the gradual variety.
