further suggestions that may
come from the White House.
The Money Raised
Is Not Sufficient
We now know positively
that the money raised by
private charity is not suffi-
cient to prevent suffering.
The Walker administration
in New York is adding more
millions from its treasury
because the National Govern
ment in a national crisis will
do nothing.
Senator Wagner is now
asking Congress to instruct
the F e deral Employment
Sterilization Board to SUBJ
NIT plans for the use of two
billion dollars on emergency
public building. He was the
author of the bill that
created the board. His meas
ure was defeated time and
again through the efforts of
the Administration forces.
and it was finally approved
by the President with a COM
mendation that was all the
more striking because he had
s0 long opposed it.
But he has not taken ad-
vantage of it, and won't.
We are not going to get
out Of depression in this
country until the human
equation is taken into con-
sideration.
If the Administration is
not opposed to transferring
billions of other peoples
debts to. the backs of Ameri-
can taxpayers to help out the
international bankers on
their private loans, it ought
to be willing to spend a frac-
tion of the amount to give
work to men who have been
denied the right to earn their
bread in self-respecting toll.

practice some sort of economy,

If one imported prince and
one guaranteed pre-War marquis
can make princeSSes and mar
quiSes out of five or six Amer
ican girls THAT is true depres-
sion economy! Sharing your
title is a magnanimous ges-
ture.
Considering the growing de-
mand for titles and the slim
supply, it's rather unfair for
any one woman to expect to
1nonopolize a whole title for
life! Half a title is better
than none, anyway! Even a
cooperative interest in a duke
or a lord gives you a lot of
Swank.
Titles, like yachts and coun-
try homes, are sheer eXtrava-
gance. It's not so much the
initial expense as the upkeep-
and very few women can af-
ford the upkeep for long.
Many a man who sported IN
imported limousine during the
prosperity Cha, haD wave, has
been glad to turn it in for a
flivver that will serve the same
purpose at half the price. And

Absolutely
Incredible
The Money Raised
Is Not Sufficient

It is to be hoped that the
other Wagner bill for the
creation Of adequate Fed
eral employment agencies to
work in cooperation with
those of States will be
pushed again. It passed the
Congress when both branches
were Republican; and was
killed by the President with
a pocket veto.
Perhaps it was in antici-
patton of this that Secretary
Doak announces that the no.
toriously inadequate Federal
employment offices have in
six months found employ
ment for 100000 men; that
through cooperation with
State agencies it has found
employment for 100000
more, making 100000 men
who have been put to work
by the Admins t ration's
method in six months.
This is absolutely in
credible. There are more
men on the streets today and
living on the dole of charity
than there were six months
ago; and it is utterly unbe-
lievable that there are 1,40O,-
600 men in jobs today that
were out Of work six months
ago.
If there are 1, 100000 who
were jobless six months ago
and have jobs today, and
more men out Of work to-
day than there were six
months ago, then conditions
indeed are serious; for it
means that more than ], AGO.
600 who had jobs six months
ago are on the streets today.
Before Secretary Doak
can be taken seriously he
must submit a bill of par
ticulars.
Where were these 1,400,-
600 put to work? In what
communitiesH And how
many in each community?
How many of the jobless in
New York city have been
put to work through the
Administration?
We have had enough ex-
perience with the Statistics"
of the Administration to de-
stroy all faith in them.
There were 100000 out of
work more than a year ago
when Mr.. Doak's depart
ment had the temerity to
report that less than half
that number were out of
jobs.
