Government Bureau Finds
Solution of Cost Issue
i'm Wider Utilization of
Resources Now Stagnant
Farm Promotion Urged
Elimination of Waste by
Coordination i'm Forests
and Mines Is Advocated
Nep York Tribune
Wdshin0tOu Bureau

washington bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-That the
high cost of living cannot be dealt
with permanently unless the problem
of unemployment is solved at the same
time, and that the increased produc-
ton necessary to solve both problems
cannot be obtained without making
idle lands and NATURAL resources more
accessible to labor, is the conclusion
reached in a report issued to-day by
the Department of Labor on employ
ment and Natural Resources" written
by Benton Mackaye, of the Office of the
Secretary of Labor.
No appreciable decrease in the cost
of living can be expected so long as
superficial factors only are dealt with,
Mr. Mackaye says. High prices of man
ufactured products generally reflect
either high prices for raw materials or
lack of organization in transportation
and distribution. An effective policy
must start with the land from which
materials and must follow the subse-
quent industrial processes clear
through to the consumer.
A substantial increase in production
is unlikely, says the report, so long as
the average wage Garner is unem-
ployed 90 per cent of his time and 80
per cent of our land and natural re-
sources are unused. scheme for
bringing together these potential pro-
ductive factors is presented. The main
points involved in this scheme are the
following:
/. Unemployed labor should wherever
possible be diverted to farm communi-
ties established under public super
vision, thus relieving Unemployment
and increasing the supply of foodstuffs.
These communities should be organized
SO they do not consist of isolated farm
ers. They should be concrete organi-
cations, and not assemblages of con-
fiicting interests" They should be
thoroughly equipped for cooperative
marketing and buying. Not only
should organization be applied to new
communities, but the government
should extend assistance toward organ
izing already existing communities.
2. Economic waste can be minimized
by a proper organization of forests
and mines. The lumber industry is
not yet one of forestry, or timber cul-
ture," as it is in Europe. 1t is still one
of timber mining" 1t is a tramp in
dustry and therefore breeder of
tramps The migratory lumber jack,
or timber wolf" must remain hobo
until the logging camp is supplented
by the forest community. Forest and
agricultural communities can often be
organized together. and the report goes
into some detail in showing the posi-
bilities of developing such a combina-
at 70
the East and in the West
B. Power resources must be organ
lied under public control. Water
power must be coordinatcd with coal
power. Wherever possible the white
coal" of falling water should be sub
stituted for the black coal of the under
ground. In this way vast energy

the deaths would have been twice as
great. We have developed this i'm
munlty and in this particular disease it
IS we'll for us that we have it,
an spite of our unconventional
methods of last year it is gratifying to
know that our death rate was the low
est OF all the eastern cities and, in
deed, among the lowest, if not the low
est al any great city in the world.'
60 Per 1000 Here
somc cities showing death rate of
100 or more 600, according to Doc
tor Copeland, were Albany; Boston,
Philadelphia, Nashville. Washington,
pittsburgh, New Orleans and Fall
River. In all these cities the schools
and churches were closed, he adds,
continuing:

possible precaution to sanitary condi-
tons. the deaf rate was only sixty a

4. Transportation and marketing sys-
tens must be organized undar cublic
control. The farm community should
be linked with the city market. Rail-
way. waterway and motor truck services
should be effectively coordinated.
fruit and vegetables, can, on 75 per
cent Of the farms, be carried in small
containers and sent directly into the
cities by motor truck, thus relievig
the railways in the work of supplying
the urban population. Such shipments.
when retailed to the city consumer
through the parcel post, could 90 al
most directly from farm to table.
5, The construction of public works
must be more effectively organized
The plans worked out in the report
building. to be followed by farm
building" outside the cities. To carry
out such of this work as is done under
the Federal government a public con-
struction service is suggested.
In prefacing the report Secretary
OF Labor Wilson says the primary
requisite of any scheme of public land
development is the "elimination of
everything resembling-even remotely
the speculation in, or private appli-
cation of natural or community made
values"
The report, therefore, urges the ne
cessity for the adoption of the CON
servation principle of retaining in
public hands the ultimate control of
all atural resources, and for such re-
striction of titles as is necessary to
prevent speculation. The adoptioih of
the perpetual leasohold is recommended
as guaranteeing the right to use land
without including the right to barter it.
