- Abstract
The article focuses on a conference on the grants-in-aid device, which originated in the early 1800's but coming into real significance with the depression programs of the 1930's and geometrically increasing to the present time, which has provided a mechanism by which national programs could be instituted or strengthened while state governments continued as the major administrative level for these programs. The public assistance and employment security programs afford striking examples of massive federal financial participation with first-line administration by the state governments. A group, including a wide range of state and local program officials and their professional constituents and interest groups, points out that state and local financial resources are not adequate to bear the cost of the programs adopted during the past 30 years. This is demonstrated despite the fact that state and local indebtedness has increased many times over the comparable increase in federal indebtedness during the same period.
