He used it as a dramatic conclusion to a bitter denunciation of the handling of unemployment by ’he administration during the years before the war. Following Mr. Dewey s talk you may have heard one of the com mentators on the speech. Leo Chume, refer to that question and say that as far as he knew no other answer had been offered yet. Mr. Cherne, who recently paint ed a gloomy picture of the future of this country in a book entitled, “The Rest of Your Life,” may be over-pessimistic about the ability of our nation to cope with unem ployment. But he is certainly not alone in feeling that no satsifac- tory solution has yet been ad vanced to give us the right to as sume that jobs will be plentiful as soon as the war is over. When Dewey asked his question he undoubtedly lit the fuse which will set off the most explosive fireworks of the coming election campaign. The question of how to handle or prevent unemploy ment is the foundation of the major differences in the philoso phies of Mr. Dewey and the President. And, to date, it seems quite uncertain that either candi date has any adequate answer for insuring* full employment. DEWEY .... Roosevelt There are thousands of men and women in business and in gov-, ernment who are working on em ployment plans, but so far they seem to be experiencing the same difficulties which all the king's horses.and all the king’s men ran up against in their efforts to re pair Humpty Dumpty. Many business men act confi dent that if the government leaves them alone and removes restrictions under which they now operate they will somehow be able to provide jobs for millions of re turning soldiers as well as for those who will be released from war work. Government econo mists appear to have little faith in the ability of business to han dle the job and are working on elaborate programs to handle it themselves. If President Roosevelt gets re elected, control of unemployment undoubtedly will be kept largely in government hands — probably with a modernized WPA, a new batch of subsidies and other stop gap arrangements to keep pur chasing power alive.

C ELEMENTS . . . . riches When Mr. Cherne intimated that war was, so far, the only sure way to end unemployment, he may have suggested the line of investigation necessary to find a permanent solution to this so far unanswerable problem. If war assures full employment, what are the elements of war which bring this about? In brief, there are three such elements: (1) keeping every fac tory and every farm working at full capacity; (2) guaranteeing a market ahead of time for all our factories and farms can produce, and (3) giving employment to milions of men and women in oc cupations outside of ordinary peacetime pursuits. I do not pretend to know how these elements can be injected in to our postwar economy. But it is aparent that the road to take is one which aims toward enor mous expansion of markets, both foreign markets and markets cre ated by greater consumer pur chasing power at home. Our production sights will have to be set even higher than in wartime if our nation’s factories and farms are going to be able to employ the men now in the arm ed forces.
