PRESIDENT’S LETTER To the Friends of The Roosevelt Hospital: The report of the Superintendent of the Hospital has brought before you the work of the past year. It shows a very satisfactory accomplishment by the Hospital in the matter of service to the sick poor of the City. The pressure upon us for the needs of the com- munity was never greater and we have met those needs to the full capacity of our Hospital plant and endowment. We have, how- ever, for still another year shown an insufficient income and were forced to take funds from our invested capital to meet our needs. We have exercised the strictest economy, which was absolutely necessary and cannot continue to over-spend our income without being obliged to reduce the service we can render. I see no availa- ble source to increase our income except by gifts from our friends. There has been some reduction in the income of the Private Patients Pavilion, but we rely upon our professional staff to use every effort to see that the income from this source is increased, but the net income derived from the Private Patients Pavilion is but small. The greatly increased cost of our patients, and par- ticularly our private patients, is so great that this department is but a small source of income. With an enlarged endowment there is very much that we could do to increase the benefits given by the Hospital to the community. It is difficult to estimate how much is needed, but much of our present plant is many years old and should be entirely renewed. I believe that $1,500,000 could profitably be spent on a new Out-Patient Department, Laboratories and Semi-Private Rooms, and not less than $1,000,000 is very urgently needed for a new and enlarged Nurses’ Home, and, should we see the prospect of being able to make these changes in our plant, we would certainly need an additional endowment of $3,000,000 to avail ourselves fully of the new facilities. I earnestly commend to your consideration the question as to the possibility of getting any such sums of money and I appeal to the friends of the Hospital for their help. I consider that the matter of endowment is of the first importance as I believe it possible with an increased endowment to make better use of our present facilities and do not feel justified in considering the large cost of additional plant unless I feel we shall have the income to use it properly. Sincerely yours, W. Emlen Roosevelt, President. A donation of five thousand dollars entitles the donor to nomi- nate patients to a bed in the Wards in perpetuity ; and a donation of ten thousand dollars entitles the donor to nominate patients to a bed in a single room off the Wards in perpetuity. The present capacity of the Hospital is 377 beds, assigned as Ward 1, Reception 14 “ 2, Male Surgical, 1 Div. Service 39 “ 3, Male Surgical, 2 Div.

  • The Federal Reserve Conspiracy
    THE FEDERAL RESERVE CONSPIRACY by Antony C. Sutton About the Author: Antony C. Sutton, D.Sc. was born in London, England in 1925, spent most of his life in the United States and has been a citizen for 40 years. With an academic background in economics and engineering, Sutton has worked in mining exploration, iron and steel industries before graduate school at UCLA. In the 1960s he was Professor of Economics at California State University, Los Angeles, followed by seven years as a Research Fellow at Stanford University. While at the Hoover Institution (Stanford), Sutton wrote the three volume definitive work on Soviet technology, Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development (still in print after 25 years). This was followed by National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union (Arlington House) which accused the Establishment of killing Americans in Vietnam with our own technology. Hoover Institution, under pressure from the White House, arbitrarily converted Sutton to a "non-person" by removing his Fellowship. Intrigued by the powerful forces behind this assault, he then researched and wrote another three volumes on the financial and political support given by Wall Street international bankers to three variants of socialism. These were published as Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and Wall Street and FDR (all in the 1970s). After leaving Stanford, Sutton edited The Phoenix Letter, a monthly newsletter on the Abuse of Power (still published today) and in 1990 started another newsletter, Future Technology Intelligence Report, covering suppressed technology. In philosophy a strong constitutionalist, the author freely expresses his contempt for Washington usurpation of political power...but always based on the facts.

It has been privileged to have as Consulting and Attending Physicians and Surgeons men who have been largely responsible for the advancement of their profession in the City of New York. The present economic conditions have seriously affected The Roosevelt Hospital in that its income from endowments has been curtailed, and at the same time the demands upon its services have been increased. Poverty and sickness go hand in hand, and The Roosevelt Hospital would be derelict in keeping faith with its Founder and those who have provided its endowments should it in any way fail in its duty and re- sponsibility to the community. During the year 1932 over 44,000 patients were treated in all the departments of the Hospital, with 35,299 free and 20,039 Part Pa id day’s care. It is too much to believe that those who have benefited from the ministrations of The Roosevelt Hospital and those who have its interests at heart will not want to have their share in helping the Hospital meet its responsibilities and carry forward its humanitarian service for the poor of the City of New York.

From Roosevelt‟s immediate successors to the Chief Executives of today, all Presidents have found it convenient to allude to Roosevelt in order to promote a particular program or policy. Many Presidents have claimed that they or their party are the true heirs to Roosevelt and his philosophy. On occasion, competing candidates have both claimed to be representing Theodore Roosevelt‟s legacy while expounding significantly different policies. This thesis does not attempt to say who was right, but rather establishes that the legacy of Roosevelt was so complex that multiple interpretations are both possible and necessary.

  • The Birth of American Airpower in World War I
    ASPJ Africa & Francophonie - 1st Quarter 2017 The Birth of American Airpower in World War I BERT FRANDSEN, PHD* lthough the Wright Brothers invented the airplane, the birth of American airpower did not take place until the United States entered the First World War. When Congress declared war on 6 April 1917, the American air arm was nothing more than a small branch of the Signal Corps, and it was far behind the air forces of the warring European nations. The “Great War,” then Ain its third year, had prompted the development of large air services with specialized aircraft for the missions of observation, bombardment, and pursuit. On the battle- field, machine guns kept infantry on each side pinned down. They sought safety in trenches but were still vulnerable to indirect fire from artillery that caused even more casualties through concussion, shrapnel, and poison gas. Consequently, each side came to realize the importance of gaining command of the air. Air superiority pro- vided the means for observing the enemy and directing accurate artillery fire on enemy trench lines and the depth of his formations. Thus, many believed that a “deci- sion in the air” was required before a decision on the ground could be won. In contrast to the European air forces, an American combat aviation arm did not exist. The Army possessed only 26 qualified aviators in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps.1 Their assignment to the Signal Corps can be traced back to the Civil War when the Union linked observation balloons, the telegraph, and signal flags to provide intelligence on Confederate activity.2 As America entered World War I, the Aviation Section was equipped with a meager number of unarmed and obsolete airplanes.
