How Many Unemployed!
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 In his message to Congress recommending relief appropriation next year President Roosevelt de- cined to estimate how many people now lack work No figure "can be even approximately accurate he said because of the impossbility of exact det- hilton of what constitutes unemployment Certainly such figures as available fail to great con- vction For one thing, they leave a mystifyng gap between the extent of business recovery and the extent of re-employment. Though industrial production IS now close to the 1880 level most estimates of unemployment are several times as large as the 1850 figure, which based on an actual trSt-hahd count by the Census Bureau Moreover, current est- mates themselves are frequently at odds The National Industrial Conference Board placed the number Of unemployed in January of this year at 97l5OOO The American Federation of Labor guessed l2,626,0O0. No doubt it is difficult to arrive at completely satisfactory definition "of what constitutes unem- ployment" There many part-time workers, many seasonal workers many workers only temporarily lad off many people who while not actually dependent on job would willingly supplement reduced family income if they could find employment. Nevertheless despite the inherent difficulty of a definition the Census Bureau succeeded in 1880 in making satls- factory count breaking down the total number of un employed" into seven major classes
 Less than month ago Washington dispatch re- ported that the Department of Commerce had under consideration plan for similar census to be taken in 1887 The reason for deferring it until 1887 was said be in order ito avoid the possibility of charges that desire for eecton-ye patronage was behind the move" But this is scarcely valid reason for delay when election year already finds three million people on the WPA payroll and when some of these people could be much usefuly engaged in taking a census of unemployment than in performing the somewhat artificial tasks which allotted to them Better data than now exist mperatvey needed The Federal Government is borrowing three billion dollars year to solve a problem which one has accurately measured.

JAPAN TO KEEP
SEA STRENGTH
OVER PROTEST

TOKYO, Sept. II G.N.S).
Japan today announced her firm
determination to retain $4,000
tons of average submarines, as
she announced last week, without
appealing to other signatories of
the London naval treaty for APP
proval.
Tokyo newspapers said today
that the United States had asked
Japan, through Ambassador Hirosi
Saito, to start negotiations among
the powers regarding retention of
the submarines.
This followed the contention Of
Secretary Claude A. Swanson Of
the United States Navy that
Japans action in keeping subma-
rines, because Britain and the
United States were holding over
destroyers, was illegal"
Americas argument is ground
less" the Japanese foreign office
said, and therefore Tokyo will
ignore any fresh naval negotia-
tions, as they would run counter
to the spirit of the London
treaty"

Toilette of Wisconsin, Mayor F. H.

about one hundred liberals of vari-
Gus political parties met here to-
day behind closed doors for the
purpose of indorsing a presidential

Alfred E. Smith in 1928 and Roose-
welt in 1882 called the gathering
an executive session." explaining
why it would be closed to outsiders.

I'VE did not intend this to be
a convention. It is to be con-
ference and we want everyone to
feel free to talk. For that rea-
son the conference will be open
only to those who have been in
vICed."
One hundred and 40 liberals
were sent invitations, La Toilette
said.

supported a number of Roosevelt
policies. Though failing to attend
the rally here, he announced
through his secretary that he
would campaign actively for

Senator Hugo M. Black Of Ala

the conference could do anything

washington Democrat; Frank P.
Walsh, chairman of the New York

dom concern persons as prosaic as school teachers.
 Now, Sam Troutman is school teacher. Or, at least, that is his title on the government payroll. He has lived for the past twelve years in the little native village of Savoonga, on lonely St. Lawr- ence Isand in fog-cloaked Boring Sea.
 He'll tell you there is nothing romantic about his life, and he would be little embarrassed if compared to the heroes of the tropical stories.
 But if a poet named Rudyard Kipling were still alive he would want to listen to Sam Troutman taking about his life on the iso- lated northern island. It was Kipling who wrote:
 Take up the white mans bur
 den,
 Send forth the best ye breed Go bind your sons to exile
 To serve your captive's need"
 Sam Troutman, a stocky, quiet black haired man, and his wife went to St. Lawrence Island tC teach native children at the lit tie government school there. But he became, also storekeeper, wire less operator, dog driver and breeder, and kind of counsel for the few hundred Eskimos who depend on him to see that they have the necessities of life firearms, ammunition, flour, tea and tobacco.
 For the past eight years he hac not left the island, which lies of the coast of Siberia, opposite the
