Problem of Jobless
Still UnsolVed

Thus it is clear enough to
me from the offi:,al record
that, acting upon mistaken
Interpretation, an injustice
has been done Mr.. Hurley,
which I regret. Had my at
tention been called to the
misunderstanding of what he
said and meant, a correction
would have been made eight
months ago, and in accord
ance with the ethics to which
every reputable pu5licist sub.
scribes, | make the correction
now in justice to Mr.. Hurley.
The problem Of what is
to be done for the jObless,
denied their right to work,
is still unsolved. During
the last eight months we
have come to realization
that direct Federal aid is
necessary to prevent trag-
edy. But the prevention
of starvation is not the
whole problem; quite as
serious is the problem of
how to prevent a chronic
state of unemployment.
Senator Black has a bill
pending providing for
shorter work hours and
days. William Green, head
Of the American Federation
of Labor, has just issued a
statement that the only way
to recovery is the adoption
of a thirty-hour week. The
idea has been urged in this
column for months.
In looking over the testi-
mony of Mr.. Hurley of
eight months ago, it is sur
prising to find that he sug-
gested some such plan, al
belt the reports put no en-
phasis on it. Apropos Of
the danger that labor saw
ing machinery under exist
ing rules in industry may
create a chronic state Of un-
employment, he said:
what you need to do
is further to reduce the
hours Of labor so that a
man can make an honest
living and get his just dis
tribution of the wealth of
the nation so that all may
be employed. Now you may
stagger at the reduction of
the hours of labor. You
may think that is going to
upset us, but I have seen in
my lifetime a greater re-
duction than that occur. If
the hours of labor were now
reduced to six hours a day
everyone would be en-
ployed.
Asked whether he would
also reduce the work days
in the week, he gave a re-
ply which bridges the diff
ference between Green's de-
mand and his own estimate
of the reduction to be made.
II believe that the hours
of labor should be commen-
surate with conditions
brought about through new
inventions Of machinery and
the capacity to produce, and
our national consumption,
and what our foreign trade
will take"

This appeared certain today as
State Department officials appear

hind the British move.
Congressional sentiment ap-
peared overwhelmingly against
any embargo in the existing situa'

clared that to declare an embargo

chairman of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, said he favored
giving the President power to

bered 5000. Japanese troops, it
was stated, were more seriously
plagued by forstbite than by
Chinese bullets.
From Mukden, Manchuria, came
word that Marshal Chang Hsueh-
Liang. directing the defense of
Jehol and determined to prevent
annexation of the province to
Manchukuo, had decided upon a
change of leadership in the battle
zone.
Bitter Cold Defied
The military commander of North
China, it was reported, appointed
Gen. Chang Tso-Hsiang CON-
mander of a new second COM
bined division whose task is to
strengthen the Lingyuan defense
line.
The Japanese advances took
place despite continued bitter
weather which made military op-
erations doubly difficult.
The capture of Shamaoshan by
the Japanese was considered of
great Importance owing to the
fact that Marshal Chang's Nine
teenth Brigade troops had made
it a key defense point, and had
held off the japanese for hours.
Occupancy of the four new
towns illustrated how the Japa-
nese columns are advancing on
Chihfeng and Lingyuan, which
are east of Jehol City, Chihfeng
to the north and Lingyuan
slightly to the south Of the
provincial capital, so that all
three points form an almost per-
feet triangle.
Resistance determined
Capture Of both Shihfeng and
Lingyuan would put the Japanese
in position for a concerted drive
along the two sides of the tri.
angle leading directly to Jehol
City (Chengteh), capital of the
province. once this stronghold
falls, it is believed, subsection
of the entire province will be
relatively simplified.
Stiff resistance encountered by
the japanese yesterday caused
them to alter their plans tempo
rarily and to concentrate on
Chienping rather than on
Shihfeng in the north.
Today's successes, however,
will cause the Japanese com.
manders to return to their origi'
nal plan of capturing Chiheng
as soon as possible, it was be-
lieved.

LINGYUAN, Jehol, Feb. %
U.N.S0.-Being banged on the
head by my own trench mortar
shell was nearly my luck today
when a Japanese plane bombed
the Chinese front lines.
Whirling down in a dust storm
that obscured the sight Of arid
mountains, ravines, and desolate
bad lands broken by small pine
woods, reached an advance
position to go over the front line
trenches.
Excitement? Sure
Chatting with Col. Fang Chin
Chun, who is commanding the
advanced positions, after seeing
the trenches where only occa-
sional shots we're fired, I asked
him why there were no planes
today. I asked:
Cant we have a little ex-
Citement?"
He replied:
'Tt's about time now. This is
Just about the hour that the
planes always come over"
Then, while preparing to take
my departure after cup Of
tea-a gesture of hospitality
which even war cannot divorce
from the Chinese plane came
over the hills, flying low and
m a C hine-gunning the village
streets.
Three bombs were dropped. One
of them fell into the courtyard
next to Fang's headquarters.
I inspected the craterS left by
the bombs and came across a
dud.
Imagine my feelings at finding
the bomb was an adapted six-inch
trench mortar shell-one of those
which I had manufactured at
Mukden five years ago while mill
