 And what is of even greater mo. mont, Is the fact-emphasized by Dickens himyelf---that his whole success in life was grounded on the early love affair.

Unemployment Is Foremost
Administration Problem
By James T. Williams, Jr.

Reduction Of unemployment
was the paramount problem
which the Roosevelt admins
tration inherited from the
Hoover administration.
It is still the foremost prob
lem before the Roosevelt ad-
ministration as the President
begins his second year in the
White House.
A recent survey of unemploy-
ment in this country reveals
the following conclusions.
Of the ten million Americans
still unemployed, il is estimated
that four and a half million
are, when employed, engaged
IN the production Of what is
known as durable goods.
Five hundred thousand Of
these ten million unemployed
are in normal times producers
of consl 'ners' goods.
A little less than five million
of the unemployed today are
normally engaged in providing
services of various sorts.
Durable Goods
According to this survey, only
10 per cent of the workmen in
this country now employed are
producers of goods that are
quickly consumed. The remain.
ing unemployed are almost
equally divided between the
producers of durable goods and
those who provide services.
For this reason, the Roose-
velt administration is being
urged to concentrate its ef-
forts during the months ahead
upon ways and means of re-
viving activity in the durable
goods industries-in new con-
struction by private enterprise,
including the building, furnish.
ing and renovation of homes.
BY starting the wheels of pro-
duction in the durable goods
industry, it is argued that such
revival would provide en-
ployment also for many of
the jobless who in normal
times earn their livelihood by
providing services of various
sorts.
There were approximately
40 million persons, according
to the census of 1880, en-
gagged in continental United
States in gainful occupations.
Of this number, 26 million pro-
duced goods, either durable or
goods quickly consumed. The
remaining % million were for
the most part providers of ser
vices.
Because consumers goods are
quickly consumed after they
are distributed, the quantity
produced does not vary greatly
in good times or bad. In good
times, of course, a better quail.
ity Of consumers goods is pur.
The Washington times., 1934-04-16

chased, and when bad times
come, the sale of cheaper
brands increases.
But the demand for durable
goods fluctuates. The turnover
in good times is very much
larger than in bad times, and
the higher the standard of liv.
ing, the greater the demand for
durable goods-for more and
better homes, for automobiles.
for all sorts Of commodities that
last and upon which, to a large
extent, are based the estimates
of national wealth.
It was hoped that vast pub.
lie works program would provide
employment for millions of Job
less who were thrown out of
employment when the depres.
sion reduced the demand for
durable goods. This would doubt.
less have been the case had the
Hoover administration launched
such a program in the early
years Of the depression.
But the public works program,
which the Roosevelt administra-
ton is carrying out, has not
been sufficiently large or fast
enough in execution to bring
the revival in the durable goods
industries that was hoped for.
The Road Ahead
Meantime, the tremendous ex-
penditures for the relief of un.
employment and the resultant
increase in taxation is adding
heavy burdens to business and
retarding the speed of national
recovery.
Because consumers goods are
quickly used, their production
can be financed by short-term
credit. But money must be bor-
rowed On much longer terms to
finance a general revival in the
production of durable goods.
On this account, the Roose-
velt administration Is under in
creasing pressure from all parts
of the country to encourage, in
every way possible, easier facil-
tiles for long-term credit in
order that, with a return of
confidence, capital investments
in the production of durable
goods may be expanded and en-
ployment provided where it is
now most needed-among un.
employed workers in the produc.
ton of durable goods and the
providers of services that such
increased production always re-
quires.
The road ahead for the New
Deal will probably run in this
direction when President Roose-
welt gets Congress off his hands
and concentrates the efforts of
his administration on the re-
duction of unemployment.

You have often said that in
your youth you could get work.
Often it was unpleasant work
with little remuneration, but it
was a job.
You took any kind of a job

Many young people who are
idle today would accept any
kind of work and like it if
they could find it.

The eyes of the nation peer
into the skies as the army con-
tinues to fly the airmail in open
cockpits through storm and
fog. It has cost a dozen lives
and vauable equipment to dis
cover definitely that mail carry
ing is not an army pilots job.
Back the task must go to the
commercial companies with
flyers specially trained and with
proper equipment.
In the meantime the army
carries on. It's pilots push
their military planes through
the sky lanes while the cabin
transports of the commercial
lines follow along the same
routes with empty mail bins and
depleted passenger lists.
Much has been the talk OF
the difference between COM
mercial flying and military fly'
ing, and the Army, it seems to
me, has gotten the worst Of it
in these discussions. It is en-
tightening to hear from an
Army flyer just why the mil
itary pilots have had so much
tragedy and trouble.

This Army flier drew an anal
ogy between a hockey player
and a straightaway skater, say
ing that there was the same
difference between military -ly'
inc and commercial. He point
ed out that skating was only
incidental to playing a good
game of hockey. and that ike
wise the job of plotting was
only an accessory to military
aviation. And he continued IN
these words:
"A good hockey player glldes
along on the ice automatically
as he watches the puck, and a
military flier has his mind en-

busy all the time while flying

The Human Side of the News
Army and Commercial Flying Differ Widely
By Edlui1, C.. Hill

ing the mail along lines the
commercial fliers have been fly
ing for days and weeks. This
new work is giving us a lot Of
experience, but think it is
upsetting the military tactical
training we have been put
through.
"A lot of people do not under
stand why we in the Army
were without blind flying in
struments like those on the com.
mercial planes. Now, airplanes
are absolutely useless in blind
flying against an enemy. Say,
for instance, that Harrisburg,
Pa, was enveloped in fog-hoW
could you find it to drop a load
of bombs?
Time may change things,
and we may manuever in bad
weather. The commercial fliers.
because they are entrusted with
the lives Of passengers, must be
qualified to fly blind. It is not
hard to learn to fly with in
struments, but it takes a little
time, and when we received
orders to start pushing this mail
along the airWays, we did not
have a chance to do it. Another
thing, the instruments. which
were hurriedly placed in the
army planes, we have not had
a chance to test thoroughly be.
fore starting out on the mail.
But everything will come out
all right"
Enough of Both
Another impression which has
gotten abroad is one that the
army fliers were sacrificed in an
effort to make good on time and
service, and even to better the
schedules Of the commercial
companies. This is absolutely
disproved by the publication Of
the orders issued to his men by
Major Gen. Benjamin Q.
Foulois, chief Of the army air
service.
Now, there's nothing about
flying that Colonel Benny"
dose not know. He came UP
from a private-he enlisted in
Connecticut in 189S-to a major
generalship largely through the
air corps. He flew the first
plane the United States Gov.
ernment ever owned-an Or.
vile Wright biplane in Texas
in l91O-and he's such a good
aviator that last year, at the
age of SIS, he won the Mackay
trophy for skill at maneuver.
ing.
No doubt something is to be
said on both sides. But my
opinion is that the people don't
want a casualty list Of Army
fliers and they do not want
the public treasury looted by
unscrupulous promoters. We
have had enough Of both al
ready.
