 This is the issue of the com ing election" Green declared. From all present indications it looks az if next winter would be worse than anything we have yet experienced-unless we take the necessary constructive measures. Hunger and despair are spreading unrest among masses of our people.
 The only source from which those nearly thirteen millions can look for jobs is the federal gov ernment The government should take hold of the situation and set up the methods and the means for providing citizens with oppor- tunities to earn bread, shelter and heat. sg
 More thna 100000 men and women have been thrown out of work in industry since January, according to Green, and the rate of increase of unemployment is unprecedented Union figures show a further increase in June.
