Valley Forge and 1881

President Hoover drew several analogies between
Valley Forge and our economic depression in 1881
But most fundamental comparison was overlooked.
The great similarity which exists between these two
episodes in American experience is the unnecessary
nature Of much of the suffering and misery. In both
cases the latter was due chiefly to governmental in
efficiency and lack Of vision and initiative
Rupert Hughes has given us graphic picture of
that winter at Valley Forge in the third volume of
his work on George Washington There were plenty
OF supplies available for the colonial soldiers had tey
been collected and dispatched promptly and efficiently
Congress slow to move The states were loath to
raise their quotas Those in charge Of transport often
were dishonest and incompetent Profiteering and
graft ourished while the soldiers were hungry and
shvering
In 1881 there we're likewise unprecedented reserves
OF all kinds. But no satisfactory method has been
provided to get them into hungry stomachs and on
cold backs Both the state and federal governments
nave failed to enact adequate unemployment insur-
arce and other effective types Of relief
The federal government has not moved with anv
deciSveness in starting extensive but much needed
public works which would employ upward of million
men and perhaps turn the balance toward revival of
prosperity
In short, the competent economists of todav find
themselves in much the same state of ipatience and
despair in face of political evasions and neptitude
that washington did when he bel1eld himself almost
deserted amidst the horrors of that winter OF 17777a

That would include the justices themselves the

II Macintosh is right perhaps after all it is better
that the decision Of the court shall stand For what
could operate more effectively to prevent war than

But I'm too thin all over, for that matter. It's lucky I'm not very tall.
