Love always calls for sympathy,
which means sacrifice. To suffer

fully sacrifices.

the odds are heavy that some of them
are not). we still suffer from this age
old disease that has become an cpl
demic in the last ten years.
If you are farmer or business
man. unemployment means that your
customers can buy fewer of your
goods. This means smaller profits. idle
capital, wasted raw materials.
If you are taxpayer - and you
are, whether you know it or not - un-
employment means extra cash out OF
your pocket. The government must
mortgage its future and your wallet
to pay the costs of relief
If you are working for wage or
salary, unemployment is a constant
threat to your security, If you dis

If you are parent, unemployment

If you are student today, tomor-
row you will be thrown on a crowded
labor market to compete with Jobless
workers, many of whom are more
skilled and experienced than yourself.
In many ways, unemployment Is
lot like war. Both of them sap a ma
tons economic health. bringing dis
couragement, suffering, high taxes,
and national deficits. But there IS at
least one good word that can be said
about war - it can always be ended
by the mere signing of papers. So far,
no one has ever worked out the terms

busy season, then spend the rest of
the wear reading Help Wanted col
umns in newspapers. These workers
would be helped greatly if we could
find ways to give them several sea-
sonal Jobs that have their peak periods
at different times. as IN the case OF
some teamstcrs who deliver ice IN
the summer and coal in the winter.
Next, there is the type economists
call trictional unemployment, \ GER

lost when workers SHIFT from one job
to another either by choice or of
necessity Even during the First
World War. when there was a nation
wide shortage of labor. there were
never fewer than 700.O00 unemployed
in the country Most of these were
out of work for only short time.
But today. when most workers are
cllnglng to their Jobs like shipwrecked
sailors to life belts, Jumping from job
to Job often takes long time. The
process Of bringing together men who
need Jobs and jobs that need men is
always complicated business.

Finally. let's mention the much

job-seekers how and where to locate
positions, as well as to increase the
total number of job opportunities in
our country We will try in coming
weeks to tell you about some of these
means of fighting unemployment.
BEFORE we can make much prog
ress, all of us must clear our minds of
some widely-held but mistaken ideas
about joblessness. On bus coming to
work this morning, heard hot ar
gument about the subject. One of the
men sitting in front of me was main
tanning in a loud voice that 4 fellow
hasn't a decent chance of finding a
Job today. so he might as well run
up the white flag and quit fighting
His companion was just as sure that
all the unemployed are really loaters
who are too lazy to go out and scratch
around until they find work.
If we stop and think about it, all
of us know that this first view is
wrong. Five out of every SIX Amerl-
cans who need jobs today have them.
and not on WPA projects, either. The
second argument is just as wrong
Nothing happened in 1929 that sud
denly made millions of us so lazy that
we dropped our tools and started
bowling for relief.
The next thing We must keep IN
mind is that the eight or nine million
unemployed people in this country
are not all going to be put back to
work by any of the shortcut, sure
fire, get-rich-quick panaceas that
some ambitious quacks are forever
proposing. Unemployment is caused

by many different forces acting over
period OF many years. and It's gong
to take time and some very clear
thinking to get the mess untanglcd.
As a matter of fact. We have no
business even talking about the M
embloyment brobiem. We should say
unemployment problems, because re-
searchers have found many different
kinds of joblessness, which must be
tackled separately and IN different
ways. Since we are going to be talking
about them lot in coming weeks,
let's see what some of these types are
The most important cause OF un-
employment has always been the
business cycle Every depression blasts
the lives of wage earners. professional
people and businessmen. This human
scrap heap was piled higher during
the Turbulent Thlrties than ever be
fore, but depressions have descended
on the world with fateful regularity
ever since the Machine Age began
One of the main efforts of govern
ment and private business III recent
years has been to cut down the WIDE
sweep of the business cycle. Some
progress is being made. But probably
there will always be business de
pressions to affect employment.
Another serious problem is seasonal
unemployment Several millions of our
nations workers earn their livlngS IN
industries that run only part of the
year Qike many canning plants or
rock up and down with the changing
seasons Gke department stores). Job
holders in these lines may work long,
feverish hours of overtime during the

debated chronological unemployment
Some machines - such as cigar max
ing, card sorting and bottle blowing
apparatus - cut down the number of
Jobs. Others, and there are many OF
.hcse, create more jobs than they
destroy The automobile played hob
with the horse-and-buggy business,
eventually tossing about a million
workers INTO the discard. But in only
thirty years it created more than SIX
million new jobs The rub comes when
workers. displaced III one line, lack
the training and experience necessary
to fit them into the new positions
constantly being created.
! HE bewildcrlng, any-sided dog
fight III the labor market never stops.
1t can't stop, More young people
start out to look tor Jobs each year
than there are older workers who die
or retire. About 600, ,OOD neiU Jobs
must be created each year to keep
unemployment from growing. That
means we must continually build new
industries, expand old ones, use more
brainwork III creating goods and serv-
ices to supply consumer demands.
Something like 55.000,0O0 workers
are competing for l6,0OO,OOO Jobs
in 10000 different occupations. Some
of these are booming. expanding
fields; some arc just holding their
own; some are collapslng IN slckcnng
dellation. Today there simply are not
enough Jobs to go around. The oppor-
tunitv to work - a privilege now, no
longer a right - goes either to people
with unusual ability or to those who
know how to look for jobs, where to
look, and when. In future articles We
are going to give the answers to some
of those questions.

AFTER ALL,

Wall Street JournaD

Cabled news and the country's foreign
relations absorb the greater part of pub
lie attention along the Atlantic seaboard
and only a little less in the interior. Ger
tainly we cannot be indifferent to what is
going on in the outside world and its
meaning for us. Nor are we likely to be.
On the contrary, there is no little danger
that gazing too steadfastly across the
salt water, We forget the hard task of
keeping our own house in tolerable order.
We have presidential and congressional
campaign on our hands.
On Thursday the House passed the sec
ond supplementary defense appropriation
BILL which appropriates for and author
ICES commitments to expenditures of $5,-
250000000. When differences between
House and Senate versions of the meas
ure have been adjusted and the President
has signed it, the Government will have
comriitted itself in a single congress
slonal session to more than 5000, ,000,-
600 of military and naval outlay, with
the end not clearly in sight.
So closely related in cause and effect
is this program to foreign affairs that
doubtless most of us miss its relation to
purely domestic policies, purely domes-
tic issues. But we shall have to execute
the defense program here at home and
we Shall nave W pay lOf IL mere among
ourselves. We must have national secu-
rity, but national security is no self
hquidating project.
Yes, we are preparing to levy defense
taxes on an impressive scale but on a
scale much less than enough to prevent
the defense program, if merely added
to an otherwise static budget, from
throwing the total budget further out
of balance than it has ever been in what
we call peace times. Some among us
talk of Gums and butter, meaning land
cream puffs and down pillows of accus-
toned ease for everybody" Do we SER
iously believe that all these "ands' are
possible to us in a world of competitive
brutality?
Have the campaign spellbinders of
of either major party taken realistic hold
upon the domestic issues of the campaign
or even realized that it is vitality con-
cerned with home as well as foreign prob
lens? 1t does not appear that they

GIFTS TO CAESAR
(Times Magazine)

In the ornate baroque palace of the
prince bishops at Fulda, forty-five Ger
man Catholic bishops met in accordance
with the will of the Vatican. In solemn
conclave the bishops agreed, according to
the German News Agency, that:
''The Catholic Church in Germany is
indebted to German troops for the vic
torious advance and defense of the Ger
man homeland. Without the successful
warding off of enemy invasion by Ger
man armed forces, German Catholics
could not have pursued so undisturbed
and quietly their church work and minis
terial Offices
Result of the conference: pastoral
letter glorifying Adolf Hitler and Ger
man feats of arms which will be read
from every German Catholic pulpit if
and when Hitler wins his war.
Thus did the Vatican, which has sought
and found modus vivendi with every
victorious Power except atheistic Soviet
Russia, move to align itself with the new
order in Europe. In an equally signifi-
cant gesture to the southern Axis partner
it announced that the semi-official Vati-
can news organ Osservatore Romano
would cease publication. Banned out
side Vatican City, by the Italian Govern
ment because it printed British war com
muniques, it has lost circulation as rap
idly as it gained it last autumn.

PARKING FACILITIES
FOR THE FARMERS

If Ell Centre is to maintain its position
as shopping center of Imperial Valley,
municipal and business leaders here will
have to devote more attention to a solu-
tion of the parking problem than they
have in the past.
Indications that the city engineers Of
flee, at least, is showing revived interest
in the traffic and parking problem is
heartening. Interest alone, however, will
not be enough There must be action.
The biggest trouble is that farmers
coming into Ell Centro to shop are, more
often than not, forced to wear out no
end of tires looking for place to park.
Ideally, they should not be subjected to
the irritating experience of finding every
available, desirable parking place filled.
There should be some place where they
can drive in, park, and go about their
shopping with minimum of bother
Enforcement of parking laws has help
ed immensely, but experience has proved
it is not enough. There are too many
people waiting to take a parking place
as soon as another vacates it. You can
drive around business block fifty times
without finding space for your car You
may see one half a block ahead, but be-
fore you get to it, somebody else is there
Common sense tells us that, if Ell
Centre is to grow, the problem will be-
come more instead of less acute. That
fact alone dictates that we cannot let
the solution go over into the future A
solution now will save worry, vexation
and possible loss of business in months
to come
Possibly a municipal parking lot, pro-
vided and kept up by the city at some
place close TO the business district, is
the answer. Or possibly there is another
answer.
