It is Ko important that President Hoover has given special instructions to the census bureau to ask that ques tion of every man and woman in the United States as early in April as the census enumerators can cover the ground. On the answer to this question, : which will be the first census infor mation to be totalled and published at Washington, will depend the action of congress and the executive as well as f business interests generally in the effort to restore the nation to the state of unexampled prosperity which we were enjoying before ,thc disas trous crash in the stock market last October, Nobody knows how many workers out of work.

In other words, there were two mil lion or more people who normally are employed, who found themselves out of jobs during the fall of 1929, but a third or more of those have now gone back to work. And employment is in creasing rapidly. When you consider that there are only about 25J)00,000 people who are accustomed to work for wages in the United States, the percentage of those thrown out of work between October and January, when unemployment was at its worst, is a very high one. At this'time of year 30 per cent of workers 4n the building trades are nor mally unemployed. Thil year in March more than 40 per cent of building trades workers had no jobs. In other lines the percentage was smaller. Now, those are the government’s figures, but nobody knows whether they are correct or not, because the system of collecting them has been that of estimating the total from a few facts in a limited number of In dustries. Some authorities recently have published figures indicating 4,000,000 persons out of work. Those figures may be correct, though the deparment of labor and the depart ment of commerce believe that they dlready prepared to finance this work. They have plenty of money and the Federal Reserve banks are ready to lend them more, at the lowest rate of interest since the preseiTt banking sys tem was established. “All the evidences indicate,” Presi dent Hoover said the other day, “that the worst effect of the crash uponjun- employment will have been passed during the next sixty days, with the amelioration of seasonal unemploy ment, the gaining strength of other forces, and the continued cooperation of tjie many agencies actively* co operating with the government to re store business and to relieve distress.” When you answer the question about your own job, then, to the cen sus enumerator, you will be doing your share toward bringing about a recovery in a few months which might easily have taken two or three years. Don’t resent the questions you will be asked. Nobody wants to pry into your private affairs, bqt the gov ernment is entitled to complete and exact information. There are 24 questions in all which will be asked at every home in the United States. Number 20 is: “Occu pation of each gainful worker.” Num ber -‘Hnduatry—in—which Card of Thanks We wish to thank our friends and relatives for their kindness and sym pathy shown us dunlng the illness and death of our dear mother and grand mother.

Number 23: “Whether actually at work.” If the answer to that is “No,” then the census enumerator will ask more questions. If you have a regular job but are temporarily out of work, he will ask: 1. How many weeks since he (or she) has worked on his present job? 2. Why was he not at work yes terday? (Or in case yesterday was not a regulsf working day, why did he not work on the last regular work ing day?) 3. ^id he lose a day's pay by not being at work ? 4. How many days did he work last week? 5. Hoy many days in a full-time week ? If you are usually employed, but have no job now, these are the ques tions which you, or some member of your family for you, will be asked: 1. Is he able to work? 2. Is he looking for a job? 3. For how many weeks has he been without a job? . 4. Reasons for being out of a Job or for losing his last job.

YOUNG. people who seldom have regular jobs and who are most of the time out of work by their own choice. But by the end of April, when the reports of the census enumerators are all in, the government and the heads of the nation’s business will know ex actly hew many regular workers haven’t jobs, and where they are lo cated. What good will that do? It will stimulate every agency of the government and every industry which depends for its existence on the purchasing power of the wage-earn ers', to go ahead with undertakings which will put the unemployed to work faster. Nobody but a lunatic be lieves that the business intere.sts*of the country want people to be out of work. The man out of work can’t buy groceries or radios or clothing or houses or automobiles. Yet there are agitators who will tell you that em ployers want hard times so they can reduce wages! The most difficult thing about the depression out of which the nation is just emerging is that there have been no wage cuts. The heads of industries who met in Washington for President Hoover's conference last Noveniber promised him they would not reduce wages, and he has been keeping tab on them. Not only have there been no wage reductions, but there have been .some actual increases. This is the first time in -our history when a busi ness crash has not been followed by wage reductions. The situation which existed in No vember was a great deal more serious than appeared at the time. It was the same kind of a situation which caused the tremendous business depression which lasted from early 1920 td late 49’22. "And the only thing that saved us from another two-year period of been gathered together in Washing ton, counted, classified and tabulated, then we shall know for the first time the exact facts about unemployment and the TeasoTTS^or Tt. And then un der President Hoover’s direction, a system has been set up whereby, us ing the facts a's a'base-line, a chei-Tv- up can be made every three months or so and Uncle Sam will have a guide to go hy in planning how to keep ev ery one of his nephews and nieces busy and prosperous.
