DARK OUTLOOK
FOR FARM YOUTH
Seven Million Need Training And
Help, w. p. A. Report Holds.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Seven
million youngsters between 16 and %
years of age are in our rural regions,
with any but poorly paid jobs, and
little chance of independence through
getting farms or businesses of their
own.
These facts are brought out by a
Works Progress Administrator study
of rural problems. Assistant w. P. A.
Administrator Corrington Gill stresses,
in his letter of transmittal, the urgent
need of providing more adequate train
ing and assistance to these dependent
rural young folks.
"Areas with the largest proportions
of children have the lowest incomes
and the poorest schools" he says.
"Rural youth attend school less fire.
quently than urban youth, leave school
earlier, and have higher proportion
who are retarded. They are victims
of glaring inequalities in education.
AS late as 1880, 5 out of every 100
farm youths were still unable to read
and write. Yet, where facilities are
available, large proportion of all
rural youth attend school,
The number of young men desiring
farms of their own is away beyond
the number of worth while farms
available This pressure on land is
heaviest in the cut-over regions of the
upper Great Lakes and in the South,
especially in mountain regions.

to buy new clothes for years.
"The governments action in
buying the surplus from the man
ufacturers and turning it over to
the people who need clothing has
helped to solve the problems of
both. The clothing industry re-
hired tens of thousands of the
workers it had laid off, and now
several million of our most desti.
tute people are getting the first
adequate clothing they have had
in years."
All of the garments are new ant

President Links Economic

Probable That All American Labor Agrees With President
In His Speech To Congress-Presdent Says That
People Have Common Need OF Each Other.

"We are putting agriculture-our
system of food and fiber supply-on a
sounder basis.
eve are strengthening the weakest
spot in our system of industrial supply
its long smoldering labor difficulties
eve have cleaned up our credit sys-
tenn SO that depositor and investor
alike may more readily and willingly
make their capital available for peace
or war.
"We are giving to our youth new
opportunities for work and education.
"We have sustained the morale of
all the population by the dignified
recognition of our obligations to the
aged, the helpless and the needy.
"Above all, we have made the Amer
ican people conscious of their inter-
relationship and their interdependence
They sense common destiny-and a
common need of each other"
More Progress Planned
Having told what has been done in
social and economic progress, he went
on to tell of reforms and developments
yet to make. Three brief quotations
must be made The plans include:
"a perfecting of our farm program.
Whole-hearted acceptance of new
standards of honesty in our financial
markets. A universal ungrudcing at
titude by employers toward the labor
movement"
He made it plain that any scheme
of balancing the budget by cutting
down relief faces presidential veto
before it starts.

A. F. Of L. Suggests Planning
Program To Give Greater Work
Security, Raise Living Standards

Increasing long-term debt is
healthy and normal in a growing
industrial country, for industrial
progress is impossible without in
creasing investment.
''In the United States the total long
term debt Cor investment) of the
American people, both government and
private, increased from $38,000,000,-
900 in 1913-14 to $75, ,000,000,000 in
1921 and $4,000, 100000 in 1929.
Thus long-term investment Cor debit
increased by more than S6,000,000, 600
per year in the 1920's. In the depres-
sion, from 1882 to 1887, our total long
term debt increased by only S3,200,-
100000 per year; the increase was al
most entirely in government, not pri-
vate, debt.
Borrowing Behind
Prosperous '20's
"Thus it is clear that although we
have added nearly $20,000,000,000 to
our federal debt from 1892 to date,
our borrowing increased less than in
the prosperous '20's. We did not. how

Rep. Ludlow Advocates
S45 Old Age Pensions

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Repre-
sentative Louis Ludlow of Indiana is
advocating pensions of $45 per month
without any showing as to need" for
unemployed persons over 60 years OF
age.
Terming the present old age pen
sion plan as "pitifully inadequate and
unsatisfactory" Ludlow states:
''In one state, Mississippi, the aver.
age pension paid is only $4.75 pei
month. In other states the pen.
sions paid to old persons run to dis.
gracefully low levels. :"

ever, invest enough in permanent long
term improvements to keep industry
busy to capacity. Our present per
capita federal debt is only half that of
Great Britain.
"The government borrowing power
can we'll be used for investments to
raise the general living standard if
it's use is carefully planned so as to
stimulate private industry and to pro-
duce improvements of real value to
the American people. What can be
accomplished in well-planned, long
term program differs greatly from
temporary 'pump-prmiing'.

000,000,000 belonging to individuals
vestment In addition there are large
idle balances in the hands of corpora
tions which would create plant and
equipment if warranted. Also the
banks have excess reserves of So ,250,-
100000 which could form a base for
credit of over ,000,000,0 By put
ting these funds to work we should in
crease the national income which
would add still further to the funded
capital available for investment In
fact our present investment in indus
try could be increased enormously
without straining our credit structure.
"Investment in durable goods has
always been necessary to raise indus
try to its highest levels. For when
workers in industries producing ma
chinery, buildings, automobiles, roads
or materials for these are fully en-
ployed, they spend their incomes and
automatically lift production in food,
clothing and other non-durable goods
industries. So we are concerned with
investment in durable goods.
Investments Now Go
To Consumers Goods
Authorities who have studied
American investments in durable
goods note the fact that American
industry in the last two decades has
not needed or used large amounts of
new investment comparable to the
huge sums which created equipment
for the power age. Our industrial
plant, once built, has been maintained
or enlarged and it's machinery mod
ernized chiefly out of the profits which
firms have ploughed back into their
business. Nor has any new industry
yet arisen to commander huge
amounts of new capital for industrial
equipment.
| "On the other hand we find that in
industrial countries over the entire
world the great durable goods invest
ments of the power age are being
used for production of consumers dur
able goods. Against the investments
in factories and machinery, mines,
railroads and power lines which made
mass production possible, we have to-
days investments in automobiles,
houses, schools, public parks and build
ings for consumers use.
Government Now
Big Investor
"In democratic countries, much of
the investment which has created
these durable consumers goods was
made through government borrowing.
The peoples of democratic countries
are using their governments to an in
creasing extent as the channel for in
vestment in permanent improvements
such as low rent housing, schools, rec
reation centers, roads, hospitals and
other services.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-It is
probable that all American labor
agrees with at least 90 per cent of all
that President Roosevelt said in his
speech to Congress. But all labor
must take a specially keen interest in
the fact that the President linked
tight together social and economic re-
forms at home with preparedness
against dictatorship aggression from
abroad. Millions of people have dimly
sensed this fact; but never before did
it have an official expression like this ::
Even nation well armed and well
organized from a strictly military
standpoint may, after period of time,
meet defeat if it is unnerved by self
distrust, endangered by class preju-
dice, by dissension between capital
and labor and by other social prob
lens at home. :.
"Our nations program of social and
economic reform is therefore part of
defense as basic as ornaments them
selves"
Reforms Strengthen Nation
He declared social and economic re-
forms of the last six years have added
to our strength, explaining as follows:
"We are conserving and developing
natural resources water, power,
forests.
"We are trying to provide necessary
food, shelter and medical care for the
health of oul population.

Soviet Marriages Boom
(By A. F. of L. weekly News service)

(By A. T. of L. Weekly News Service)
Statistics made public by the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics reveal an
increase of 12.1 per cent in registered
marriages in the first half of 1888 COM
pared with the same period in 1887.
In some of the republics making up
the Soviet Union the increase was
much greater than 12.1 per cent, reach
ing 93.2 per cent in the Tartar Re-
public.
Divorces, the government figures
said, show a decided reduction. In
Moscow, for example, 1851 divorces
were registered last year as compared
with 1912 in 1886.

National Planning Board Advocated By A. F. Of L. In It's
Monthly Survey Of Business-Survey Urges Use Of
Idle Funds-Higher Living Standards Chief Goal.

Washington, D. c.. (ILNS).-A ma
tional planning program for increased
production to stabilize prosperity and
bring higher living standards for all
is outlined by the American Fedora
tion of Labor in it's latest monthly sur
vey of business.
Advocating a National Planning
Board, the survey said it must be
formed with adequate safeguards
against bureaucratic control and speci-
fled two points which it said must be
safeguarded to avoid the pitfalls of
Fascism."
More than any other survey in a
long time, the current survey demands
to speak for itself. Here is it's outline,
in part, of the proposed planning pro-
gram:
"As we look forward to national
planning, two points are of primary
concern to labor:
81. That members of the National
Planning Board shall be drawn from
industry, labor, agriculture, consum-
ers' groups, trade, finance; that the
board shall be group of represen-
tative men taken directly from pro-
duction and service industries, not a
group drawn from government offices;
that existing trade, labor and farm or
ganizations be brought into co-opera-
tion with the work of the National
Planning Board. If the board mem
bers choose their own technical advis-
ers, this also will safeguard against
bureaucracy.
Higher Living Standards
Held Chief Goal
"2. That planning for increased
| production in the United States shall
be directed toward the goal of higher
living standards for all, and not to-
ward undue or unnecessary production
for military purposes; that jobs shall
be created in industries producing
| goods needed by the people rather
| than munitions, except for the muni
tions needed for national defense. L
these two points are carefully safe
guarded, we can have national plan
ming by democratic methods and avcit
the pitfalls of Fascism.
"Once National Planning Boart
is established, with authority to gather
| information, we shall have an agency
which can collect the facts and sug
gest (a) an immediate program to lif
industrial production as nearly a.
practicable to full capacity, and (b) /;
long-term program to stabilize ant
increase production, to give greater
job security and raise living standards
Use Idle Funds,
Survey Urges
"In planning to raise living stand
ards we need to consider how the fund:
lying idle in our banks can best be in
vested. There is now more than S.,

CLOTHING FOR THE
DESTITUTE MILLIONS

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). S).-More
than 100000 persons will share in
under way by the Works Progress Ad-
the distribution of winter clothing now
ministration as a result of its $15,-
100000 purchase of manufacturers
excess inventories, Corrington Gill, as
sistant administrator, announced here
Already, more than 100000 coats,
suits and dresses have been distrib-
uted to destitute families, most of
whom have been unable to buy new
clothes for years, and additional ship
ments are being made from central
warehouses in New York and Chicago
at the rate of nearly 100000 garments
per day. Distribution is being made
in cooperation with state and local
welfare bodies.
Big Unsaleable Surplus
Last summer employment in our
great clothing manufacturing indus
try was at one of the lowest points
on record largely because of surplus
of finished goods which it could not
SELL" Gill said.
Credits were tied up in these sur
pluses, and many plants were shut
down. Unemployment among cloth
ing workers was at the highest level
in years.
"On the other hand, we knew that
millions of people all over the country
were so shabbily clothed that not only
was their morale shaken but they were
in danger of acute suffering and i'll.

a year and which has d grand total
force-field, office, technical and de-
tecting (if that's a permissible term)
Of only fourteen.
Standing out boldly in the 40 new
cases Of last month are the widely
scattered sources and areas from
which the requests for help came
and the great variety Of problems
posed for the bureau sleuths to I'M
ravel.
There was request from the
police department in Beaufort, way
down east in Carteret, for aid in
solving d burglary; and appeal from
Polk county's sheriff to find out who
had been tieing a young woman to
a tree; and calls from New York and
Maryland for assistance in locating
murder suspects.
For the most part, the two score
cases involved the examination and
identification Of finger prints in con-
nection with breakings, safe-bloW-
ings and burglarles; but there were
at least two examinations Of dOcu-
ments to detect alleged forgeries
Five Of the cases involve murder
within the boundaries Of North Car
Dina.
Some prove almost comic in their
| climaXes. The Polk county case al
ready mentioned resulted in discoV-
cry that the young woman tied her
self to a tree on at least two occasions
her motive, she confessed being
publicity. She had at first alleged she
,, was abducted by two men.
Then there was the call from The
Mayor Of Four Oaks who grew very,
very suspicious indeed of a person
who bought and sold cats, with the
announcement that he was ''poison-
ing" them. The SBI probe revealed
he was buying the animals for the
; perfectly legitimate purpose of re-
, selling them to medical colleges.
But there was nothing comic about
the poisoned spring at Madison in
Rockingham county The sheriff
there requested an analysis. 1t re-
vealed that the spring water con-
tanned arsenic poisoning AS far as
the Bureau went, that closed the
case, as it was not requested to do
anything except make the analysis.

lin County Fair suspected that con-
tract with an amusement company
had been altered after its execution,
