Berne, Switzerland, started the
first communal unemployment in
surance fund In 1893. and in the
years following, many other Swiss
towns and cantons followed suit
But the real cradle Of unemploy-
ment insurance was Belgium. where
the City of Ghent began a volun-
tary plan In 1902. This plan spread
rapidly throughout Belgium and ad-
jacent territories In Europe. 1t was
a failure, for the workers didn't
seem to want II. and In 1881 less
than 80 per cent Of them were in
sured. The system was costing the
government huge sums OF money,
about the only success within its
claims being attributable to govern
ment subsidies.
Much the same situation existed
with other countries who tried vol
untary insurance against unemploy-
ment suffering. Czechoslovakia,
with only 81 per cent Of its workers
insured, drained Its national treas
ury to such an extent in aiding the
relief programs that the plan. while

as inadequate. France has some
300 voluntary systems. with only
about 100000 workers so insured;

role in relief, have constantly been
in difficulties. France has another
system, based upon local municipal
funds assisted by federal grants;
these grants have had to be In

Worse and Worse.
Despite all these grants, there
were at the end of 1881, only 1872
600 out OF 5,66S, 900 unemployed who
were deriving regular benefits. A
total OF 1,011, 900 were receiving no
aid at all. While undoubtedly no
more inoppOrtune time for the in
stitution Of a German unemplOy-
ment system could have been Sc
lected, it is certainly obvious that
the plan has been complete fail
ure. and no better off, financially,
than the British system.
Bulgaria and Austria have been
more successful with compulsory
unemployment insurance, although
the Austrian government was forced
to cancel a debt of approximately
S20OO0,0O0 owed it by the insur-
ance fund.
American business leaders refuse
to consider that unemployment in
surance is emergency legislation,
and through the voice Of their con-
ference at Warm Springs. Ga. in
December, they have asked that
legislation on the subject be de-
ferred until such time that they
may make comprehensive study
of social insurance and determine
whether or not a feasible plan may
be worked out. The conference has
asked that the business leaders and
capital be given a chance for year
at least to see what they can do
to restore normal business condi-
tiOns, creating better markets and
more jobs. The chairman - the
Warm Springs conference, Mr.. c. B.

mittee to study unemployment In,

Bank Deposits to Drop.

The condition of commercial under

of commercial bank deposits in various
countries. In most countries these
declined during 1884 as compared
with 1888.
In Germany the monthly average
of total commercial deposits in 1883
was 7,l47,000,000 reichsmarks; in No
vember 1884 they reached 55,oOO,-
900 reichSmarks.
In France the 1888 monthly average
was 80, ,635. 100000 francs; the average
over the first 10 months of 1884 was
around 81 900, 100000 francs
In Italy the 1888 monthly average
was 16,l48,OO0000 lire; in october
1884 the total commercial deposits
were Is, ,6S9 100000 lire.
In Switzerland commercial deposits,
monthly average. in 1888 were $780,
100000 gold francs; for September
1884 they were 3,444 100000 gold
francs.
In Great Britain they averaged,
monthly, in 1888, 1,954.00O,0 900 pounds
sterling; for November, which was the
highest month recorded in 1884. they
totaled 1875 600, 900 pounds.
In Czechoslovakia the 1888 monthly
