The opinion OF all Eterts ministers

NECESSARY SAYS ECONOMISTS

but on the other hand there is the
gain of immediate use and satisfac-
ton. The higher cost is spread over
the whole community, where this liza
bility belongs, and if SC assumed will
steady the labor market during the
period of readjustment, so that the
effects will be felt in every branch
of private industry. Private industry
will thus regain its confidence. In
stead of the violent shock and dis
turbance the transition will be grad
ual and peaceful.
TOO much emphasis can not be
placed upon the responsibility which
the Federal, State and municipal gov
ernments owe at this time. The
speedy ending of the war has saved
the nation much, only in lives,
but also in property and in indebted
ness. Thus far the local indebted
ness created by the war is light in
comparison to what might have been
anticipated If states and cities
should now incur debt or increase
taxes to undertake public works, this
burden would be small, indeed, when
compared with the Indebtedness that
would have been created if the war
had continued even a few months
longer. No finer contribution could
be made than a dedication of such a
sum for the works of peace. Let
such an expenditure be regarded as a
war expenditure, and let each COM
munity have it's liberty schoolhouse
and its liberty highway"
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1919-03-03

WASHINGTON, March Estates,
cities, and the Federal Government
have an important responsibility at
this time in the creation of employ
ment for soldiers and demobilized
war workers as buffer employment,
according to DR.. Davis R. Dewey, pro-
fessor of economics at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and consult
ing economist for the Department of
Labor DR.. Dewey thus defines the
duties of governmental organizations;
Society as a whole-in its federal
government or through its smaller
forms Of organizations, the state,
county or city-must assume this re-
sponsibility. The nation was respon-
sible for the war, and it has a re-
sponsibility in restoring the country
to peace conditions.
'In what way can it create en-
ployment? 1t certainly ought not to
manufacture or create useless things.
There are, however, many things
which organized society wants and
which it can get only through gov
ernmental agencies. It wants more
schools, better roads, more sewers
and parks; it needs to clean up and
prepare useless land for cultivation; !;
and in many sections it needs more
houses for its dwellers. These are all
things of enduring wealth which will
become a permanent asset The cost
of investment at the present level of
wages and materials may be higher
