f
Washington, Jan. 1. — Secretary of^
Commerce Jesse H. Jones said today j
that business prospects were so bright j
that “in 1941, for the first time in a^
decade, we may confidently look tO|
substantial progress toward elimlna-'
tion of unemployment as a major I
problem in our society.” ' j
In a year-end statement, Jones,'
who is also federal lending adminis
trator, said “business moves into 1941
operating at record levels. It can look
back on the year just past as one of
vigorous expansion which in total
produced the best results in a decade.
It can look forward to 1941 as a year
that will bring furtiier progress and'
the advance of our per capita output!
to a new record.”
Jones s«id that the spurt in indus-j
try, which he credited primarily toj
the defense program, already had |
^.taken up some unemployment slack,
and that between February and Oc
tober 2,300,000 persons got new non-
agricultural jobs.

and well-trained defensive fighting
force.
