LET 9,000,000 AMERICANS
STARVE.
While industrial production has
reached the level of 1929, the num
ber of unemployed remains almost
constant at 9,000,000.
This is an economic fact of great
significance although there are peo
ple in this country whose only reac
tion to the unemployed is a con
descending remark about "hard luck."
While unemployment has been
decreased some from the high total
of a few years ago, there are some
politicians with brass enough to put
the blame for unemployment upon
the New Deal. The country is filled
with business men, chanting in uni
son, "Let business do it," entirely
oblivious of the fact that business
"did it" in the years between 1929
and 1932.
Young men and women, completing
their education, and stepping into an
economic world where nine million
unemployed are looking for jobs, find
the going rather difficult. They
probably wonder what is meant by
the "land of opportunity*" Ready
to work and anxious to start on their
economic career, many of them find
no avenue for their talents.
The answer to this situation, ac
cording to some of our thinkers, is
for the Government to cease spending
money, throw a few million extra
people out of employment and make
arrangements so that the big boys of
industry and finance will not be dis
turbed about future taxation.
Of course, big business will sub
sidize an Americanism campaign, to
ram platitudes down the throats of
the unemployed, but, unfortunately,
this does not feed them.
32,000 DEAD AND LITTLE
WORRY !
One of the prices that the Ameri
can people are paying- for speed on
the highways is the loss of 32,000
lives in 1939, the injury of 1,150,000
persons and an economic loes which
is estimated at $1,500,000,000 by the
National Safety Council.
While the death rate on our high
ways in 1939 was virtually the same
as in 1938, it is estimated that travel
increased six per cent over the previ
ous year and that, "based on motor
vehicle mileage, there are only 1Z2
persons killed for each 100,000,000
miles of motor vehicle travel It is
interesting to observe the apathy of
the American public to such an enor
mous death toll If some mysterious
malady should suddenly begin to
strike down Americans, in various
parts of the nation, at a rate that
exceeds three every hour, die news
papers would be filled with alarming
stories, consternation would grip the
entire population and the churches
would not be big enough to hold the
. crowds which flocked there to pray.
However, everybody knows why
there am accidents on die highways.
It ia easy to undent and that when
two vehicles collide, both going from
sixty to sixty-five miles an hour,
the occupants are bound to get hurt
and some of diem will be killed.
Thsce is midline misterious about
the cause of the deeths and die pub
lic fc not alarmed.
