OF those for whom the fund was
created. namely the unemployed.

affects the mine workers and brick

OF Maryland.
~ We finally ask that your
Council makes itself an active
body. interesting itself in the many
and numerous problems OF unem-
ploymont in this area as the Act
requires and that YOU set a regular
schedule Of meetings so that per-
tinent matters can be taken up
with a view TO effective admins

ing our protest at the complete
inactivity of comfortably paid
members OF the Unemployment
Compensation Board. who are by
law required TO devote their full
time services to the problems OF
unemployment. g when clear
requirements OF the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Law are
broken By persons who are adj

them.

Waiting Period
"2. Liberalizing Act: II IS i'm
portant to remember that when
the present Act was passed. the
proponents OF the Bill defended
the small benefits upon the ground
that 1t was necessary to be con-
servatiye in the beginning.
AT this time the reserves o!
the Unemployment Compensation
Board have mounted 10 a figure
which shows that 1t is possible to
be more realistic in the payment
Of benefits. We therefore request
that your Advisory Council shall
study the following proposals and
make recommendations thereon:
"(a) That the present two
weeks waiting period of urcm-
ploymcnt prior to eligibility 10
benefits be rcScindcd. There is
no logical reason why an uncm-
ploycd person should be inn
pOvcrished and placed in debt
before receiving the mcagcr
benefits of the Act. roughly set
ut fifty per cent of the average
wages. The fund permits I'M
mediate benefits and we can
not understand why u waiting
period Is necessary. Landlords.
insurance agents. grOccrs and
others do not suspend payments
for services during the first two
weeks Of unemployment. II is
also necessary to point out that
the two weeks waiting period
means that the unemployed
person is left for three weeks
without income. because the two
waiting weeks are served. then
IL is necessary 10 complete the
third week of unemployment be-
fore one week of unemployment
benefit is due.
"tbi We ask that your Council
make a study Of the present bcnc-
fit amounts. which roughly APP
proximate fifty per cent of the
normal earnings OF the claimants.
The present large accumulated re-
serves are silent proof that il is
possible TO make benefits come
closer to the actual needs OF tho
unemployed. By increasing ~
benefit sums and lengihening the
maximum benefit period.
"tcl In spite of earlier pro-
testati0ns that adequate benefits
could not be given under the
terms OF the Act until the fund
was firmly established we now
find that since the reserves have
mounted there come no pro-
p0sals for liberalization. Instead.
suggestions are heard that the
benefits of the accumulated re-
serves be given TO the employers
through a reduction OF the tax
rate. Such proposals should be

Letter To The Editor
SAYS THIRD TERM DEPENDS
UPON MAN WHO SERVES IT

The Editor Of the Voice Of Labor
Cumberland. Md.
Dear Sir:
The third term question which
Is perhaps the most important
purely national topic Of discussion,
he really not one question at all.
There are many people who do not
oppose a third term for the Presi-
dent of the United States. but who
do oppose a third term for Frank
lin d. Roosevelt. Conversely. there
are people who oppose third
term, but who favor continuing
Roosevelt as President in 1910.
Personally. I would oppose. with
all the devices at hand. third
term for a Hoover or a Coolidge.
As a matter Of fact. many of those
who tried to persuade Mr.. Coolidge
TO run In 1928. are the most out
spoken in condemning the third
term move now.
Historically. legally and logical
~. the opponents of the present
third term move. haven't a leg TO
stand on. Washington. first Presi-
dent. refused third term. He was
reluctant TO accept the secon d
term. The condition OF his health
made his acceptance OF third
term impossible. In fact. had he
accepted a third term. he would
not have lived to complete 1t.
Madison. the father OF the Consti-
tuition, and one Of the best brains
OF the early Republic. prevented
the limitation Of the Presidents
term from being written into the
Constitution. AS a result. there Is
no legal restriction today to pro
hibit a third term. A cursory per-
usal Of American history will re-
veal that Grant. T. Roosevelt. and
Coolidge were doomed for third
terms. The above statement be-
comes significant. only when you
note the party afiiliation Of the
above-named gentlemen. Logically
why should we deprive ourselves OF
the services Of a great man in the
White House simply because OF a
tradition begun by the broke
health OF one man? Must we reach
in the grab bag again. perhaps
only to find another Hoover?
To the budget alarmist at large
In the country today. / have only
this to say: A government which
fs.is TO protect the governed from
the economic forces with which
they are unable to cope: that gov
eminent is inherently weak. re-
gardless Of its financial stability
On the other hand. government
which tries to provide for the Sc
curity OF the governed. that gov
eminent is inherently strong!
Let us not plunge this nation
into the do-nothing-i ism Of another
Hoover. Let us continue Roosevelt
as President of this Republic. anC
pray. meanwhile. that within thC
next four years n leader OF thu
Roosevelt calibre will emerge Il
keep America OH the road to prog
ress rather than the stagnation o.
opposed and locked forces. Democ'
racy Is not endangered by stronG
leaders. but by weak followers.
suggest that we retain Our leader:
OF known democratic principle!
and thus insure our essential dem
ocracy.
Yours very truly.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Henry
Ford says he believes the United
States soon will take Its rightful
place" in the world as big broth
err able to bang together the heads
of any powers that would stir up
war"
But make no mistake about this"
he added, in an article in the De-
cember issue of Scribners Common
tator, I'VE are not now in the posi-
ton where we can adopt that big
brother attitude toward anybody
and until and unless we are, we
should not NEEDLE in the affairs of

As an aid to building up the Ma

role. the automobile manufacturer
suggested S. a day should be paid

"Where will the money come from
to pay that sum- he asked.
1T should come out of the mil
lions of dollars that will yet be
squandered upon politics before we
manage to force that outmoded
philosophy into the scrap heap.
-" The horse has virtually dis
appeared; the COW is next, and pol
ltics will follow"
Ford predicted better civiliza-
ton than any the past ever has
known and called the parliament
of Man" the goal toward which we
are striving now"
ut is future in which science
and education. closer alliance of
the sol and industry and a better
common fellowship will enable us to
benefit more fully from the expert
ence We have gained and the knowl-
edge We have inherited from those
generations that have preceded U.S."
he wrote.
Believes Future Is Safe.
The accumulation of experience
and knowledge has been going on
for thousands of years, with each
generation a little better off than
the preceding one; it will go on for
many more thousands of years.
Thus, despite the tragedy that is
going on today. the future is safe"
He blamed the present war on
European peoples who had fallen
into the habit of taking things as
they came"
They were duped by the greedy
financial groups, seeking to extend
their domination over people and
lustful for power in every branch of
human endeavor.' he went on.
These groups are the real 'dictators.
They are the creators of all labor
organizations and the instigators Of
strikes that paralyze productive
processes. They seek to dominate
not only all business. but every in
dlvidual engaged in it, at the bench
or at the desk. Through this domi-
nation they would increase prices
and lower wages.
