employer you can't Just go out
and hire men. You have to have
either money in the bank or
credit. And most important of
all, you have to have plant, a
factory. Factories are really tools
for the workers to use-tools that
enormously increase their earning
power. But you will find your
factory expensive to build. TAX
ing an average across the country
you will find that you have to
invest about $4,000 for every man
you employ.
In other words. it takes about
$4,000 of investment to make one
job.
Now there are two things about
that $4,000 that you must un-
derstand.
In the first place, neither you
nor anybody else will put up that
$4,000 unless there is some chance
Of making q profit on it. That
profit Is what you earn from the
factory that the workers are
using.
Under the New Deal, the en-
ployer who puts up money to
make a profit has been In the

there ought to be about 100000
new enterprises founded every
year.
Now what has happened under
the New Deal?
Between 1900 and 1929 the
number of business enterprises
per 1000 of population increased
about IT per cent. We were
growing and there were plenty
of jobs. Today, we have even
fewer business enterprises per
1000 of population than we had
in 1929. Measured by the stand
ard of our previous growth we are
short about 100000 enterprises.
that Is, we are short about
100000 employers.
Nowadays, it is about as hard
to start a new business as it is to
rob a bank-and the risks OF
going to jail are about as great in
both cases.
Now let us ask ourselves this
question: Why are there fewer
employers per 1000 Of popula-
ton than there used to me?
About $4,000 Needed
To Create One Job.
Well, here's the answer to that
one. If you want to become an

have Jobs may say: What has
this got to do with me? I have
a good Job. I am all right. Let
the other fellow who can't find
job go on relief. Let the Gov
eminent take care Of him."
Now In the first place, let me
say. yes. that is all right. We
have relief. and we are going to
keep relief. I give you that
pledge. If I am President of
- the United States and you by
some misfortune happen to lose
your job, you will get relief.
But that is not enough. If you
lost your job tomorrow you
wouldn't want to 90 on relief If
you could help it. You would
go out looking for another job
a real American job, real work,
earning real wages. But could
you find that job today? Nine
million six hundred thousand
persons haven't been able to.
And the reason I am under
taking this campaign is because
want every man and woman in
this country to find a job If he
or she wants one. I want that
just as much as you do, because
I have given my pledge to labor.
that know what makes jobs and
that I will get them for you.
Those With Jobs Shortsighted
If Disinterested in Unemployment.
And in the second place, with
regard to this matter of relief,
1t would be shortSighted for those
who have jobs TO say that they
are not interested in the unem-
ployed. You are making the
mistake of your lives if you think
that just because you have a Job,
you do not have to be concerned
about the millions of your fellow
citizens who are looking for jobs.
There are three chief reasons
why American workers should
fear the continuation of unem-
ployment.
First, there are 100000 per-
sons out OF work today. which
means that there are $500 900
persons looking for your job.
Secondly, ours is an expanding
population. More than 100000
new workers come to maturity
each year. More than 100000
young people are turned out of
schools to look for new jobs that
do not exist. If these young
people have no place to 60, they
will be out looking for your Job.
too. And the next year, there
will be another 100000 of them.
But, thirdly-and this is the
most dangerous fact about I'M
employment-it is absolutely i'm
possible for a governmental 20
on supporting a growing number
of unemployed. Somebody has
to pay the bill. And don't kid
yourselves-that bill is being paid
by those of you who have jobs.
The average income per individ-
ual in the United States last
year was only $40: the average
tax paid per individual was $110.
One-fifth of our national income
goes for taxes. And the biggest
single item on the tax bill. aside
from deefnse, is relief for the
unemployed.
Borrowing to Meet Situation
Cannot Go OH Forever.
OF course, the New Deal has
found an easy method of paying
for that big relief bill. Your
taxes don't anywhere near cover
it, so the New Deal borrows the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-09-24

money. In seven and a half
years 1t has borrowed about
$22, 900. 000, 900. And you all know
that this can't go on indefinitely.
If we 60 on living beyond our
income, there is bound to be a
collapse-a collapse that will
drag down. not only the precious
rights Of labor and all the social
gains that you have made, but
also your jobs. your opportunities
and your hopes for the future.
The one and only remedy for
this increasing Government debt,
the one and only safeguard for
your rights and your opportuni-
ties, is jobs, and jobs and jobs.
Now what makes a job? That
is a fortnight question and it
deserves a fortnight answer.
Business makes jobs-little
business, big business. corpora
tions. partnerships And small
companies. Under our system. il
we are going to have jobs we
must have employers. 1t is not
enough that the present en-
ployers should hire more men
although that is very important.
There must be new employers
new employers every day. If we
are to give our workers a chance,

AAA A ppro We S
Change w h ere b y
Planting Less Than
1910 Acreage Will
Not Affect Allotment
ForLater Years

Washington, March l4.-(AP)-
The Agriculture Adjustment Admin
istration announced q change today
in its flue-cured and hurley tobacco
programs to allow farmers to plant
less tnan their 1910 acreage allot-
ments without affecting the size OF
their future allotntentS OF market
ing quotas.
Unaer the new provision, if pro-
ducer grows as much as half OF his
1910 allotment. his allotment Tor
l94l and later years would be de-
termined just as though an acreage
as large as the 1910 allotment had
been grown.
However, if less than half the al
lotment was grown in 1910 the al
lotnlent for l94l and later years,
unless the local AAA committee de-
ternined that no effort was made
to grow tobacco in 1910, would be
determined as though one-haf OF
the 1910 allotment had been grown.
J. B. Hutson, assistant AAA ad-
ministrator, said the change recog-
nized that sin view of the existing
tobacco surplus and prospects for re-
latively low prices, some farmers
would prefer temporarily to plant a
smaller acreage than their allotment
calls for.
Hutson said the change had been
requested by representatives OF
growers at recent conferences. He
said that supplies Of hurley and
flue-cured tobacco now on hand
were so large that it would be help
full if growers could plant less than
their 1910 allotments.
