and actually true as long as there

Reasons For Concern
"a The Federal government in
its efforts to keep employment
high will usually award contracts
or release funds for public projects
II "A particular area shows critical
unemployment. In our case here,
employment would be classed as
full although critical underem-
ployment exists and the area
would be by-passed on awards Of
public funds.
t2) The loss Of potential pur-
chasing power for communities
must necessarily slow or even
stop improvements in the standard
Of living. as II forces family TO
stretch a smaller paycheck over
a given period OF time.
go II curtails expansion of
stocked goods for consumers as
merchants will not tie up capital
inventories that want OF adequate
purchase power
a. II prevents the expansion of
manufactured goods for consum-
crs future available supplies usu-
ally will be higher priced.
81 II Is an extravagant and
needless waste OF potentially pro-
ductive manpowsr.
A Nations Responsibility

ment cannot be laid at one per-
sons door. It's a problem OF the
community, state and Federal
government Many organizations,
