I regret to say that Commissioner [Johnston B. J. Campbell] has resigned.

At the request of Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, I shall withdraw his name, as upon reconsideration he has concluded that he does not wish to accept the appointment.

OUR DRIVE for increase in construction and improvement work to take up unemployment is showing most encouraging results, and it looks as if the work undertaken will be larger for 1930 than for 1929.

The time will undoubtedly come when a larger and more dignified executive office should be erected.

It is our intention to repair the present executive offices and make the attic and the roof fireproof this time.

The steel companies inform me this morning that the effect of the drive is already showing in their orders, which are beyond their expectations.

We have 338,000 Indians.

I have a few questions today which are helpful.

The steel companies report this morning that the effect of the drive is showing very clearly in orders.

I shall appoint someone from the Intermountain States to the vacancy.

I REGRET to say that Commissioner Campbell's resignation has been received.

IT IS our intention to repair the present executive offices, making them as fully fireproof as possible.

The broad problem is to better train the Indian youth to take care of themselves and their property.

The present allowance is about 20 cents per day for each child for food, and it must be doubled if they are to be maintained in reasonable health.

The support of the schools and the health program amongst Indians have not kept pace with the depreciated value of money since prewar.

I have emphasized the necessity for this reorganization by the appointment of Mr. [Charles J.] Rhoads as head of the Bureau and Mr. [J. Henry] Scattergood as his assistant.

The present offices will serve all purposes for the next few years, and I am much more anxious to expedite the erection of the departmental buildings, which are so urgently needed.

Not more than $4 for any one calendar day will be allowed to any one man under the provisions of this order.
