Unemployment has to be .tackled as a whole, and viewed as a whole it is like an en veloping fog, in which explorers can only grope without being at all certain that they are going in the right direction. One thing which befogs the un employment problem is the ab sence of facts and figures upon which everybody concerned can agree. Nobody knows how many persons ire actually unemployed, or why. Estimates run from six or oeven 1 millions up to ten or ptevjefl mUMbns. No Federal cen sus of the uhemployed has been taken since 1930, and the basis of that count is not regarded as pre senting a true picture of the sit uation as it was then. Such a censds has been repeatedly urged, but j no agreement has been reached fcven on the primury def inition of "unemployed." Is ev ery person to be listed as "unem ployed" who happens not to be at work on the day the count is made, though be or she was working last Week arid can 'go back to the same or another job hext week? That and such" ques tions as how to divide the employ ables from the unemployables are points upon which there are as many opinions, almost, as there are students of the question. All that Washington really knows about unemployment is that there still a very large number, totalling several millions, who are being supported out of iublic funds, either working on W. P. A. and P. W. A. projects or on direct relief administered by state THE &LKIN TRlßtriNi£» ElLKiyf» NORTH CAROLINA and local authorities with assist ance from Federal funds. That a very large proportion of indus trial and commercial workers who were unemployed one, two or years ago have now been reemployed is admitted by every body. The National Industrial Conference Board reports that employment In industry today is almost up to the peak of 1929 and is increasing. But offsetting this is the increase in the number of those who have never been employed, young people who have reached the age of normal self support in the past few years and have not been absorbed into in dustry and trade. About 600,000 a year is the normal increase in this group; but again nobody knows how many of them there are. ; ; : Public Works Program The latest and perhaps the most carefully-considered pro posal is a program for Federal public works which has been put forth by a group of sixteen in fluential members of Congress, who say that 126 others have al ready assented to it. It is really a declaration of principles in tended to govern future legislaton, and is based upon the assertion that useful and necessary work must be substituted for private charity and government doles. Slum clearance, soil and water conservation, reforestation, flood and drought control, power devel opment and safety work are listed as examples of useful work of permanent value. Ten prlnqiples should govern this approach to the unemploy ment problem, the sponsors say. They are: 1. Work for all who arc able , and willing to work and can- ] not find private employment. 2.'The work to Ue useful, pro- i ductive and efficient as any work anywhere. 3. People to be hired for gov ) eminent works, not because : they are 'on relief but be- ! cause they need a job and are able to do it efficiently. ( 4. Pacts about the amount of \ unemployment and the op- ' port unties for employment ' in private industry to be col lected, and the government work program to be enlarged when private industry lays people off and to be cut down when private industry hires them back. 5. No waste, no made-work, but every project to be planned so it will create a dollar's worth of wealth and perma-! nent social value for every dollar spent. This- requires that there must be enough money appropriated to allow a reasonable expenditure for materials and equipment, as well as for wages. 6. Government work to be planned so it will enable the I people It employs to develop | • and maintain the kinds of; skill and ability which are I most likely to be in demand | in private industry. 7. Government projects to be 1 definitely planned to stimu- j late all industry and open new opportunities for Amer icans. Conserving soils and developing new fertile lands will do this. Low-cost hous- j ing will do it. Cheaper power will do it. So will other projects. 8. The recreation, theatre, edu-' cation and fine arts projects to be continued and im proved with a view to devel oping the hidden creative talents of all groups of citi zens in America. 9. The program must be a Fed eral program, since unem ployment is a national prob lem and most of our needed public works are of inter state character. It will have to be largely financed with Federal funds, • with local sponsors' contributions based on their ability to make such contributions. 10. By and large, the program should not be financed by, borrowing, but by equitable taxation on the basis of abil ity to pay and benefits re ceived. j MOUNTAIN PARK Rev.
