a third time in 80 years. During
all this time there was no Ill

reported the case OF a fireman
who had had gray hair for eight
years. He had been blond. At
a fire he was exposed 10 ex-
IRENE cold for a long time, all
but his scalp, which was pro-
tected by a wool skull cap

Senator Green searched all

UNEMPLOYMENT was Il

UNEMPLOYMENT was the
- problem from 1929 to 1941.
Then we went to war and
took something like 1900, 900
men and women out of our in
dustrial population.
These men and women must
be reabsorbed in the industrial
life of the countryside entire
100000 of them.
From the purely economic
standpoint. the United States to-
day has 100000 unemployed.
Our primary problem remains,
then, unemployment.
1t stands where II was when
the stock market depression hit
our people in 1929, except that
the crisis is deeper and our ma
tional poverty has increased.
In 1929, when our troubles
started, our tional debt
amounted to SIS, 100000 900; to-
day that national debt is S20S,-
oO0,00O,000.
The cost of unemployment
must be piled on top of that
national debt in addition to the
diversion of private SURPRISES
from capital formation to taxes.
THE kilgore bill, as ii stands.
l. will not and cannot be
passed, for a few months OF 1t
would be more devastating eco
nomically than a military defeat
at the hands of Hitler.
Defeated in the Senate last
week, / am convinced IL will
reappear both in the House and
in the Senate.
Although there are modifying
whereases. the kilgore bill will
give to those out of work S35
a week.
If there are 100000 unem-
ployed, the bill will be Sl8,200,-
100000 a year to which will
have 10 be added a minimum of
S5.000,000,0 900 annually for serv-
icing our debt, around $4,000
100000 for government expen-
ditures, TO say nothing of the
many billions, not yet calculable
for veterans pensions, hospitals
cation and so forth.
We might under those circum-
stances figure that government
expenditures will run about
S4O.0OO.000000 a year.
We just have no such money
in the United States.
Those. who say that il can be
done are cruelty kidding the
American people.
The kilgore bill is irrespon-
sible legislation proposed by
those who reject simple arith-
metic as too trite, too old-fash-
toned and too simple.
We're there not a philosophy
behind this Kilgore bill, IL would
be nothing more than a legisla-
tive Joke. But that is not the
case. This is a seriously pro-
