President William Green OF the American Fedora
ton Of Labor is responsible for this statement: 1T
is Only one step from compulsory unemployment in
Surance to the dole" The best, the real remedy, for
unemployment Is employment. The obligation rests
upon industry to provide employment for men and
women willing to work. The dole system and body
OF a vicious principle, in that it attempts to provide
relief by supplying only the minimum of subsistence
Besides the dole system developed a fraternaism that
IS demoralizing and destructive. It STILES ambition,
destroys initiative and blasts hope"
Why not tel It to David Lloyd George. chief Of the
labor party OF Great Britain. and Prime Minister
James Ramsey Mcdonald. head OF the labor govern
ment Of the British empire? OF course the real rem
edy for unemployment is employment" but there is
the rub. 1t has been the rub since man began to
work with his hands instead of his brains-or a COM
bination Of both hand and brain. Gov. Franklin ID.
Roosevelt Of New York has committed himself to the
compulsory unemployment insurance plan. The New
York State Federation OF Labor adopted the plan.
Now the labor chieftains and their followers will go
to the bat on Oct. 6 in the City Of Boston. the date
OF the meeting Of the annual convention Of the
American Federation OF Labor.
Canadian lawmakers are to raise the customs tariff
of Canada as a cure for unemployment. "A dead con-
gress provided the same remedy or rather cure for the
American people. 1t Is the age old story. ct is a prob
lem that has never been solved and the many will be
compelled to grin and bear their share of depres-
sion until good times come again. This has been the
record Of all the years.

Canada for Upward Revision

Upward revision Of the Canadian tariff as a meas
tire to relieve unemployment and economic depression
in the dominion was forecast in a message from the
throne which opened a special session Of the Cana
dian parliament. Indeed all the leaders Of the con-
sentative party now in power predict the coming OF a
high protective tariff. No indication was given in
the message OF the extent OF the proposed increase
nor to what products they should be applied. 1t goes
without saying that il a high tariff is good for the
United States 1t Is good for the people Of Canada.
Canada is one Of the best customers Of the United
States. Canadians are large buyers Of American
products, manufactured and otherwise. Americans
are large buyers Of Canadian wares and staples. in
GLIDING liquors Of the bootleg sort. A tariff war
around the world would make American manufac-
turers and American farmers sit up and think a bit.

Prayers for Rain Worthless

Prayers for rain are futile In the opinion of a mn
jority Of prominent American clergymen who took
part in a symposium conducted by the Christian
Clergy Magazine. Indeed a famous minister Of the
West called praying for rain an attempt to involve
God IN a cooperative scheme to maintain present
American living standards" There was a minority.
A Chicago minister declared, that God made the
weather and could change It," Regardless Of the
majority verdict millions Of people will continue to
pray to the Lord when they need assistance or are
