There are those who believe
Hopkins to have been a bit opti.
mistic in thinking unemployment
may be reduced to reasonably
low levels" at any time in the
visible future.
Certainly there was no note of
optimism over the outlook in the
discussions which marked the
American Public Welfare Associa-
tion round-table conference which
ended here Sunday attended by
Federal, State and local welfare
officials from all over the coun-
try. They talked, rather, in terms
of a need still unmet by public
assistance programs.
About the only cheerful note
was the idea that the whole sys-
tenn of relief needs to be frightened
up, the chislerS cut off and the
worthy unemployed encouraged
to get back on their own feet in
stead of continuing to depend on
Government for their existence.

Problem Permanent

But that the problem is as per.
manent as the civilization OF
which it is a part no one denies
who sees the whole picture. The
troubles which overlook Europe
20 or 30 years ago are overtaking
America now. The old order In

ing development has passed into
the limbo of things which will not
return.
It may be that in the end North
Americans will migrate in substan.
tial numbers to South America, as
the English, Irish, Scotch and
later the Germans, Italians, Scan
dinavianS, Poles and Balkan
groups came to America from an
overcrowded Europe. But it's ques
