liminary adjusted index figure of
the value of retail sales of new

In Line With Keynote

This idea is in line with the key
note of the message, which is the
same as that suggested in his mes
sage last June, namely that security
of the men, women and children of
this country is the most important
criterion of the success of u public
policy. The policy calls for security
of livelihood, homes and against the
major hazards Of life.
This in an idealistic program and
one which will prove to be very diff
cult to work out. Unless the Govern
ment takes over control of all indus
try-which is Socialism-it a not
guarantee a livelihood to every one
Ideas of this sort are high sound
ing and pleasant to the ear, but
they are vague and have little sig
%nificance.
In the same category falls the
suggestion that goal is social
justice.
Terms Are Meaningless
What is social Justice? No
body has been able to definitely set
up any criteria for this elusive con-
cept.
Will it be social justice to adopt
some such plan as the Townsend
plan. with ITS preposterous provisions
and it's faulty analyses of our eco
nomic order, or does social justice
consist of redistribution Of wealth
and a consequent disintegration OF
capital, or what form is it to take?
These terms are just as meaningless
as those of the New Era" when
the chicken in every pot" idea was
prevalent.
The major portion of the message
dealth with work relief and indi-
Gated the Presidents concern as to
what to do with the unemployed as
a means of solving unemployment.
1t has been pointed out by Pro-
fesor Lewis Haney that unemploy-
ment and the unemployed are two

ment is a problem resulting from
maladjuSted business conditions,
while the unemployed are human
beings who need relief.
To give these people work relief
or to artificially create jobs either
through spreading the work or ex-
pensive public works projects does
not cure unemployment. Unemploy-
ment can only be cured by a COR
rection of the conditions which
brought it about. Unemployment is
only a symptom, not a cause, of the
present low level of business ac-
tivity.
The future messages of the Presi-
dent must be carefully studied in
order to see if the attitude of
~paternalism which was evident in
last weeks address is followed
through.

NEW YORK. Jan. 11-Wall

Further Messages.
JULES BACKMAN and
A. L. JACKSON
Editors of Economics Statistics, Inc.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Pres
ident has chosen work relief in pref
erence to outright relief in order to
aid the unemployed. However, he
stipulated that the people on work
relief are to receive a scale of wages
lower than that resolved in private
industry. The purpose of this pro-
vision is to make sure that this pro-
gram will not interfere with the re-
vival of private industry.
In so far as private wages are re-
duced and lower wage scales are
forced in the building industries by
this program, it is definitely a step
III the right direction.
Among the other principles which
r to govern work relief is one
which states that compensation is
to be lin the form of security pay
mentS."

Attraction Great

No relief system should ever be
made more attractive than the
minimum wages that industry can
afford to pay. In other words, re-
lief should never be made so free
and easy" that people prefer relief
to working.
Consider the following case which
is entirely possible under the pres
ent system of relief. Two needy
applicants apply for relief and are
registered for employment. A job
opens and both are sent after the
job. The more industrious of the
pair lands a job for $18, a 4O-hour
week in a factory; the less desirable
worker, from the industrial point
of view, is given a relief job at
$3.50 a week for 30 hours work.
More typical. however. would be
the contrast between two men of
equal ability, each earning SIS a
week, but the man on relief works
three days a week in a more or less
efficient manner, whereas the other
in industry is required to put in
five and One-half days of hard la
Dor. No wonder that some workers
resist efforts to be put off relief.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-11

WHETHER the ruling will be a
w good thing for the industry
remains TO be seen. In all prob
ability the flow of oil will be ma
terially stimulated, for a time at
least. and it is reasonable to sup
pose that prices will be cut sharply
as a result. The big companies
have a habit of discouraging pro-
duction when it gets out of hand.
For the first few months the in
dustry Will have to adjust itself to
the new conditions. 1t may find this
rather difficult because, after at
tempts have been made to suspend
the law of supply and demand, the
return to normal trade conditions
usually proves to be an uphill pull.
1t is entirely possible, in fact, that
the sudden change may be no dis
turbing that new legislation will be
rushed through either Congress or
the various state legislatures.

Leaders in the financial district
saw a challenge in the Presidents
statement that the deficit in the
budget would be reduced in pro-
portion to private industry's abll-
ity to absorb the idle, and they
we're inclined to accept it. As a
result greater cooperation with the

OF equal importance with the
~ Presidents budget message
this week was the Supreme Court
ruling that Sec. &C of the oil con-
troll provision Of the NRA is I'M
constitutional. 1t was the first de-
cision on New Deal legislation. and
may have a far-reaching effect.
The direct effect of the decision
is to take the sting out of the term
hot oil" and place it on Secretary
Ickes' rules and regulations. The
oil administrator will be obliged to
swallow some of his own choice
explosives as well as some carefully
t~urned-out invectives. The medicine
may not be so easy TO take.

Accepted as Right

The pity Of our whole relief sys-
TEN is that as more relief IS given,
more relief is accepted as a right.
and it becomes more difficult to
change the system. Just a hundred
years ago England went off their
pauperizing relief system which
lasted two generations-or forty
years, from 1894 to 1885. During a
great part of this period the para
doX of relief, increasing unemploy-
ment and more relief, also was ap-
parent.
Great care must be taken here so
that relief does not assume such
proportions or last so long as it did
in England. Of course. the needy
must be taken care of. During good
years. as well as bad years, relief
problems must be met. But let it
be a more sane and sound system
Of relief. Now IS the time to re-
vamp our relief system.

u. S. Employee Takes
Offense at Editorial

To the Editor of The Times
I feel that I would be Sinking
if I permitted a statement appear
ing in your editorial columns of
Friday, April rs, to 60 unchal-
lenged.
The article bears the title,
"$6,500 a Minute" and from the
comments I am led to conclude
that you agree with the state
ments made therein. Mr.. Roger
W. Babson is alleged to have said,
IF the six million Government
workers are added to the ten mil.
lion unemployed workers" and
again, Every two workers are
supporting one idle worker" BY
this / infer that a Government
worker is Unfortunately claSsed
with unemployed persons.
I would respectfully inquire
whether or not Mr.. Babson classes
himself and the persons who are
no doubt employed by him, in the
same category as the idle classes
above referred to. because, most
assuredly. they produce nothing.
Mr.. Babson has developed a
business consisting of selling fore
casts and predictions, termed "ad-
vice" to anyone who cares to buy
it. I do not admit that the aver
age good business man is in need
nf Mr. RahSor'S advice.
Prior to my entry into the Gov.
eminent service I had a long ex-
perience in the commercial world.
have always believed that the
term "nonproductive" when used
commercially, served only to dis
tinguish the clerks, executives,
ETC., from those employees who
actually produced something, that
is, they made the thing, either by
hand or by machine, which was
being produced.
It is this kind Of thing, pub
lished in widely read papers and
periodicals, and apparently carry
ing the Endorsement of the owners
and publishers, which leads q
large part of the public to believe
that the Government employe is a
blood.sucking leech whose activi-
ties are unnecessary and whose
services can be readily dispensed
with and no particular harm re-
suit therefrom.
