Chief Executive States
Unemployment Crisis
To End In go Days
ASKS COOPERATION
Period OF Depr essiOr
Said To Have Reached
'Bottom Mark
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Mar. 8. W.H-
President Hoover and the commerce
and labor departments see the dark
clouds of unemployment and bust
ness uncertainty cleared away with
in 60 days.
The chief executive, Secretary Of
Commerce Lamont and Secretary of
Labor Davis were on record to this
effect today in series of optimistic
statements which We're issued after
they had made three hour study
Of the latest figures.
The hand Of Mr.. Hoover was seen
in an appeal to the average citizen
TO help by starting ahead of time
this year those little jobs of cleaning
up and repairing usually done about
the home in the spring time, so
that many now unemployed may
have work. This suggestion was
made in the joint statement by
Davis and Lamont, which was issued
with that Of the President from the
White House late yesterday.
High points of the Joint summary
OF the situation were:
|. The worst effects Of the stock
market crash on employment will
pass within go days.
9. The low point OF business de.
preston and unemployment was
reached in late December and early
January. Conditions have steadily
improved since then
3. The amount of unemployment
in proportion to the number of
workers, is only one.third or one
half as serious as il was following
the panics Of l007.08 and l920.22.
4. A canvass of trades employ.
ing 100000 persons indicates that
between ! 100000 and 1850 more
persons are out of work now than
at this time last year.
8. Acute unemployment is con-
fined to II states, while in the other
sc seasonal unemployment" or
"minor abnormal unemployment" is
rapidly being absorbed.
The White House statement yes.
terday was the first important one
dealing with business which Mr.
Hoover has made since his series of
conferences with industrial leaders
here following the stock market
crash last fall. IL was seen here as
an attempt to reassurc the country's
commercial interests which might
have become alarmed by widespread
unemployment demonstrations yes
tcrday in a number of American
cities, that more jobs soon will be
available and that trade will be
more brisk.
