board for a new plunge into a
problem which, they admit, tn e
New Deal has not yet really Crap
pied with. Last fall the National
Resources Committee drew up ten
tatlve findings pointing in the same
direction. The advisory section of
the Defense Commission has also
given a good deal of thought to
the matter.
The argument right nov is that
no defense program is complete
if it doesn't include a plan for
ironing out the kinks in the ma
tons ecoomy. So far this year,
in appropriations voted and COM
mitments made, the nation has let
itself in for the spending of up
wards of $40, 600, 0O0, 900 on defense;
the pressure groups are asserting
the load can't possibly be carried
unless full prosperity-aside from

In Washington

WASHINGTON - Mark
the words total defense" as two
which you are likely to hear 6
great deal more of in the neal
future.
= AS used here, they refer less tc
army and navy preparations than
to the old, basic problem of I'M
employment, unsolved after seven
years of the New Deal. The signs
right now hint strongly that a
brand-neW attack on this old prob
lem may presently be made-poss-
IDLY before the election, more like
ly depending, of course, on the
way the voting goes) shortly after
it.
The point is that for a good
many months a number of in
fluential pressure groups have
been insisting this nation will
never have total defense" until
its productive capacity is fully
employed and all its jobless citi-
zens are back at work. This point
of view is shared by some of the
top economists within the New
Deal. On both sides it is felt that
recovery and unemployment due
solely to defense spending won't
be enough: that some permanent
solution to the whole problem has
got to be found.
CHURCH LEADERS
WANT ACTION
Early last June, an 1nterfaith
Conference of Catholics, Protestant
and Jewish leaders met here to
consider the unemployment prob
lem. This conference, after three
days discussion, urged the gov
eminent to set up a continuing
commission of representatives of
consumers, farmers, labor, fl
nance, manufacturing, education,
religion and government for de-
vising cooperative, democratic
measures to solve the unemploy-
ment problem
A couple Of months earlier a
similar demand was made by the
NdLlOndl consumers l. e a 3 u e
through it's president, Josephine
Roche, who was also chairman of
the Presidents Interdepartmental
committee to Coordinate Health
and Welfare Activities. Miss
Roche remarked that industrial
revival SO far had not cured I'm
employment, and declared h a t
the gravity and immediacy of the
problem call for a concerted
attack.
In addition, both the C. T.. O..
and the A. F. of L. have urged
the same sort of action. Philip
Murray, C. I. o. vice president,
told the Interfaith Conference
there must be broad planning to
prevent "a complete collapse of
our domestic economy" when, as
and if the rearmament program
ends.

There viii be parades, an Indian
pageant and a huge barn dance
with good old mountain fiddlers
making the music.
