Unemployed Money.

new issue of $500, 900, 900 Government
bonds at 31s per cent sets at rest the
question, If 1t ever existed, of the belief
and faith Of the people and the Ameri-
can banks in the financial stability OF
the Government of the United States.
The huge offer Of funds for these Gov
eminent bonds indicates, too, that there
is vast amount Of money waiting in
this country for investment. Apparently
money has joined the unemployed class:
If some means could be found to give
the money In the country employment,
It follows that the workers now out Of
Jobs would soon be employed. But
money hesitates. It Is boarded by those
who have 1t and fear to lose 1t. The
psychological effect Of the stock crash
in 1929 still holds these potential in
vestors In its grip. A little more cour-
age, a willingness to branch out again
in industry, would be the most effective
aid to the unemployment situation.
Until labor Is again employed far more
fully than 1t Is today, it cannot buy.
Unless the country is willing to con-
cede that there Is permanent unem-
ployment problem in the United States,
and unless it is ready to have the Gov
eminent engage either in a huge con-
struction program, so huge as to give
employment literally to millions of
workers, or to have the Government
adopt q "dole" system, this boarded
money and its owners must take up
the burden Of industry again. The
people must live. They must have
work or charity. If the private in
dustries and employers Of labor are not
willing or in a position to provide this
work or charity then the Government
in the end will be forced to do it. To
have the Government undertake such
relief and on such lines would be not
only blot upon the whole industrial
structure of the country and upon
American business men generally, but
would be the worst thing that could
happen to the unemployed and to the
country as a whole.
Admitting that by 1929 there had
been a huge overproduction Of all kinds
of articles from automobiles to pins,
and admitting that the American
people had bought and bought until
their capacity for buying had been ex-
hausted and their credit extended be-
yond all proper limits, the process of
assimilation has been going on for near
~ two years. The time seems to be at
hand when the demand for many arti-
cles will again warrant large produc-
ton. The wise manufacturer, the for
ward looking financier who recognizes
the fact and seizes the opportunity will
accomplish not only personal wealth
and advancement but also will achieve
much for the general welfare Of the
country and for labor
Much has been said recently about
Che concentration Of wealth in this
country in a few hands. Certainly 1t
appears that great wealth, as repre-
scented by huge amounts of money, IS
now lying idle, wealth that should be
engaged in productive enterprises. In
times Of depression wealth must be
prepared to take its losses along with
the losses Of labor. If there is not CO.
operation between the two, capital and
labor, In the end capital will face a
difficult If not terrifying situation.

 The wounded bandit was carried away by his two companions A few minutes later their automobile stopped at Symmes Arlington hos pital. The wounded youth, identi- fled as Gerard Manley, IT, of Med ford. was left there. His pals drove away before hospital officials could question them.
