President Roosevelt's message summed up the attitude of the congregation in the Waldorf-Astoria that evening.

...near rich which may impede the further burgeoning of the little buds of recovery which seem to be cropping up in the British Isles? Second, will not the costs of purchase, destruction, and reconstruction force a high rental, higher than slum-dwellers can pay. That this objection is valid seems to be granted by the National government, who in their nascent proposal along these lines are said to have included a decree to prevent overcrowding in neighboring tenements--implying that ht maximum limit of inhabitants per square foot of rooming space will be made necessary by the flood of dispossessed...
