Selby, in outlining the case be-
fore Justice F.. Dickinson Let's,
claimed that former Secretary

In 1923 Barnett divided the

COMMUNICATED

The Editor:
Again may refer to the plan for
boarding unemployed people on
farms throughout the State, whereby
the State would give relief to the ex-
tent of paying five dollars per
month towards the board of each
person.
There are said to be $4,000 unem-
ployed persons in the city of Will
mington, and | am advised from a
reliable source that nearly one-third
of these people would still be unem-
ployed if all the industries of the
city were to start up and operate at
normal rate. If this is true, GER
tainly that unfortunate one-third of
those people have no chance to help
themselves so long as they remain
in the city. 1t is CHARITY to give
temporary relief to persons who are
in distress,-but it is real HELP
ING HAND that will assist them to
make a change whereby they can
permanently help themselves.
When | say that such plan is
"basicly economic, that does not
mean it is cheap and stingy,-it
means that the plan is in accordance
with a natural economic law, in ac-
cordance with supply and demand
There is a greater supply of food and
fuel on farms than there is in the
city. There is also more work, that
is, a greater demand for labor, on
farms than there is in the city.
There is an over supply of food on
the farms, as we'll as plenty of work
to be done but the farmers lack
money to pay labor. There is an
oversupply of unemployed labor in
the cities, as we'll as a demand for
food but the unemployed lack money
to buy food. The price system has
broken down.
Whenever there is a general de-
fiation of the price system, that de-
iation never takes place evenly
some items debate faster than 9TH
ers. Until practically all items that
have a price, be they items of labor
or commodities, are Debated in the
same relative proportions, there can
be no permanent improvement take
place. The sooner everybody recog-
nizes this fact the sooner the cOun-
try will get on the road towards
permanent recovery. With an over
supply of food and undersupply of
labor on farms, with just the oppo-
site in the city, then the States re-
lief money can do real permanent
good by taking some of the city's un-
employed out to the farms and pay
ing their board there until they are
able to earn something for them
selves.
