are not being shown.
A^ striking illustration of the in
ability or unwillingness of the poli-*
ticians to recast their basic thinking
came in the passage by the house
last week, by a vote of 354 Yo 21,
of the $1,112,000,000 relief bill for
the next fiscal year. Even this does
not represent the real size of the re
lief appropriation, because the $975,-
000,000 for WPA can be spent in
eight months. The plain facts is,
however, that we can no longer af
ford the hybrid WPA system, which
provides neither normal employment
nor sound relief on a basis of family
need. It is fantastic that, in the face
of the present crisis, we should still
be inventing projects to “give em
ployment,” when the task before us
ought to be so appallingly clear. The
Federal government should be ar-
tanging for the indirect employment
or the direct training in defense work j
of those now on WPA who are fitted
for such work .or training; it .should!
take care of the rest by setting up
a cooperative Federal-State system
of direct relief on the model of the
old-age assistance program
...We can deceive ourselves for a
long time about money matters by
printing bonds and other promises-
to-pay which look like money; but
we cannot add to our available sup-1
ply of men and materials for nation
al defense by printing facsimiles of
them. If we remove the artificial
barriers to production, our defense
needs and our normal needs together
will provide employq|ent for the
men, machinery and capital now idle.
If we are to maintain our present
living standards and also arm our
selves to the extent necessary, we can
no longer afford to dissipate our
great potential strength; we must
direct it to the points where it counts
most.
