Varying Figures Show Need for Job Survey It is encouraging to hear that Commerce Secretary Daniel C Roper plans an unemployment census. This is long overdue. It is too much to expect that definite figures will be available before election. Probably neither party would relish this. But it is high time we found out iust where we stand not only how many are out of work, but what jobs have vanished and what new jobs are arising to replace them. Throughout the gravest depression the country has ever seen, no one has ever known, within hundreds of thousands, thou-sands, how many persons were unemployed. Most recent estimate bv the American Federation of Labor was 12,184,000. The National Industrial Conference Board's estimates have been near that figure. But now comes the New York Sun and says that all this is ridiculous. It estimates the unemployed, in all industries, trades, transportation, trans-portation, and mining, at 8,085.000. V J 7 't 4 The Sun got its figures through information furnished by 8000 companies. If the present population of the country is about 1 28,000.0 X), then about 51'000,000 should be working work-ing today, and about 80,000.000 of these would be in the group surveyed. The Sun found how many really were at work in that group, and figured out the rest in proportion. . The Sun's job is an interesting one, but all such methods are no more than shrewd and lucky approximations. They can be nothing else. Modern life is complex. There are so many ways of getting a living that don't appear in figures on any recog nized big industry. A widow, left without resources, begins making candy and cake for sale. Is she unemployed? Yes, as far as any industrial tables can show. But she's getting along. Two boys, just out of high school, develop an ingenious business of washing, clipping, and exercising neighbors' dogs. Are they unemployed? Certainly, as far as any industrial in-dustrial figures go. But they may be making a very fair independent living. Undoubtedly, in making A. F. of L. estimates, much reliance is placed on union members reported not working at t-heir trades. Yet many such men. skilled at this trade or that, have developed little odd-job and repair work to keep oing. Are they unemployed? Certainly, so far as the A. Fr of L. is concerned. Hut they are getting by, and they are not on relief. The whole thing about unemployment is that nobody knows much about it. even after all these years. General Johnson once proposed a one-day survey of unemployed by registration at polling places, much as draftees were registered regis-tered during the World War. Such individual registration of every unemployed man or women seeking work, with the qualifications of each, would give us a sounder basis for, attacking the problem than we have now or ever have had. Before you try to figure out where you are going, it is always a good plan to find out where you are. A good speaker is one who says the things you would like to think of to say the way you would say them if you thought of them. Heron Lake News.

Although this island was "discovered" "dis-covered" by Portuguese in the 16th century, it was not until 1894 that France was able to conquer con-quer its inhabitants. Today.

FIRST LADY , ; Mrs. Roosevelt is the most social-minded first lady ever to occupy oc-cupy the White House; that is, "social-minded" in her interest in problems of the masses, rather than in official entertaining. Many a time -the president has had to call upon Marguarite Le-Hand Le-Hand to act as White House hostess host-ess because Mrs. Roosevelt was off visiting subsistence homesteads, home-steads, or a school for the blind, or investigating an unfortunate labor situation. Some time ago textile labor circles received a call to the effect that Mrs. Roosevelt was interested in-terested in the progress of a strike in a chain of mills near Warm Springs, Ga. Replying to the inquiry, labor , officials informed Mrs. Roosevelt Roose-velt that the strike had been over many months. Victor in the strike had been C. J. Callaway, owner of the mills, a close friend of the Rocsevelts. He has been entertained entertain-ed by them many times. Mrs. Roosevelt conveyed her sympathy and expressed a desire to meet the textile workers if the opportunity presented. She was reminded of this when the Na tional Women's Trade Union League of America held Its convention con-vention in Washington. ! MAIL BAG F.C.I., Paducah, Ky.
