THE ALBANY CONFERENCE
The Governors of seven industrial
states have been considering com
pulsory unemployment insurance in
a conference at Albany which was
called by Gov. Roosevelt. The states
represented by their executives, eith
er personally or by proxy, are New
York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachu
setts, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Rhode Island. Those states pay 63
per cent of the nation's income tax
and more than 50 per cent of the
nation's total wage bill. The subject.
therefore, is one in which they are
vitally concerned, and anything they
decide to do or not to do about it
will be of consequence.
Nothing definite was agreed upon
at the conference, but sufficient in
formation was developed during the
discussions to make the meeting dis
tinctly worth while.
It is accepted, of course, that some
plan must be worked out, as a mat
ter of justice and public policy, to
protect employes in a measure
against recurring business depres
sions. Sentiment at Albany was
against any participation by the Fed
eral Government and for restricting
the individual state's participation
to a minimum. This attitude may be
partly accounted for by our national
tradition and, in larger part, perhaps,
by the European experience in the
venture, particularly that of Great
Britain. It was the judgment of the
conference that this was a problem
for industry itself to solve, with cap-
lital :in(, iabor lointlv bearing the
cost. The state, however, was not to
be excluded. Both the state and the
Federal Government must co-operate,
by legislation and construction.
In any effective program for coping
with unemployment.
Nothing was added in the way of
legislative suggestions to the now
familiar Wagner bills. Those bills,
the work of Senator Wagner of New
Ycrk, and introduced by him in the
Senate when the country was at its
prosperity peak, provided for bureaus
to compile dependable and up-to-date
j statistics on unemployment, for the
planning in advance of public works
I as a matter of intelligent prepared
jness against the necessities of a de
pression, and for the creation of Gov
ernment employment agencies.
Some disillusioning information as
to the national administration's re
lief contribution to the present situ
ation was given by one of the experts
in attendance, Leo Wolman, a mem
ber of the President's committee on
recent economic changes. There was
no more money spent upon public
works throughout the country last
year than in 1929, and less will be
spent this year than in 1930. The
same authority said that, during the
period of the last 10 years, public
expenditures "rose with the advance
in general business, furnishing add
ed employment at a time when em
ployment in private industry waB ex
panding." In Mr. Wolman's opinion, public
construction is a large enough indus-
try to serve as a balance wheel, If
competently administered. He quot
ed convincingly figures, to the effect
that, in 1927, public construction was
ia $3,400,000,000 industry, being but
$600,000,000 below the automobile
industry. It really does seem that
wi tli such means at hand the govern-
and persisting as the present. Ob
viously, though, it calls for manager
ial ability of a high order and that
genius for looking ahead which is
the hallmark of statesmanship. Ob
viously, too, the enactment of the
Wagnev bllls wouid not oniy be a very
practical form of unemployment in-
snranfo hut would ho n hnnn to h-
rassed statesmen as well as a bless
ing to people in need.
The financial ability of industry
to provide for unemployment insur
ance was pretty well demonstrated
in figures cited by Phil H. Douglas,
economist, of Chicago and the
Swarthmore College unemployment
study, who has won recognition in
the field of wage statistics. While
the country's payroll was declining
20 per cent the dividend payments
of a large group of leading corpor
ations was $8,000,000,000 in 1930,
an increase of a half a billion over
those in 1929.
It is in such facts and figures as
those brought out at this conference,
and in the research thus inspired,
that a way will be found to mitigate
the effects of industrial slumps. Of
course, something more than facts,
figures and formulas must be had.
There must be the illumination of a
new philosophy, as finely presented
by Senator-elect Costigan of Colo
rado in his Atlantic Monthly article.
A decade of reckless privilege has
blown the bubble and brought us to
the election of last November, the
mandate of which Mr. Costigan In
terpreted in these stirring words:
The demand is for a people's,
not a profiteer's, sovereignty; a
people's education, literature, fi
nancial system, tariff and life;
a people's electric age, a peo
ple's government in all branches,
executive, legislative and Judi
cial; a people's prosperity, a peo
ple's peace.
That is what we are striving for
security of spirit as well as body,
under the lash of an admittedly
stupid depression, logical sequence
of a stupid prosperity.
CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION
One of Senator Wagner's bills, af
ter three years of effort, has been
passed by the Senate. It was design
ed to check unemployment by timing
the construction of public works in
advance instead of rushing the pro
grams in times of prosperity and cur
tailing them in times of depression.
The bill was passed at the last ses
sion of Congress, but was changed in
committee when it went to the
House. As just passed, however. It
represents in effect the agreement of
the conferees of the Senate and the
House and embodies the principles of
that sort of legislation which seeks
to prevent recurrence of distressing
periods of unemployment. The bill
creates a planning board for the sys
tematizing and timing of public
works. As its author claims, it cre
ates a permanent instrumentality of
government to keep a continuous
watch upon the rise or fall of busi
ness and unemployment.
The idea is that if it is well in
time of peace to prepare for war, it
is well that we should prepare in
times of prosperity to deal with con
ditions that arise in periods of dis
tress and depression. It should serve
as a balance wheel to help stabilize
private business by providing oppor
tunities for employment on public
construction when private demands
for labor are slack.
This bill long has enjoyed almost
universal approval, but it has been
slow to come to a head, so to speak,
notwithstanding its constructive
character and economic importance.
It is contended, too, that had the bill
as a law been in in operation even
a year ago much could have been
done to alleviate the present depres
sion by providing work rather than
relief, and, as Senator Wagner says,
"the country would have been both
happier and richer."
The essential elements of this
measure and equally applicable to
states and communities, and it is
Senator Wagner's belief that it may
serve as a model for the creation of
planning commissions ii) all the
states and municipalities throughout
the country.

FLOWERS FOR THE MAYFLOWER
What a gallant little bark the
Mayflower was! She bore up under
everything from caucuses of the Ohio
gang to Amherst reunions. In the
days when Commodore Harding was
at the helm, her deck knew the rub
ber heels of Jess Smith, Daugherty,
Newberry and Will Hays. She cruis
ed the far reaches of the Chesapeake,
stood off Marbiehead and rested in
Hampton Roads. From her rail the
greatest Secretary of the Treasury
since Carter Glass watched Mount
Vernon slip up the Potomac. Prin
cess Alice was privileged to write
notes home on her crested paper.
and Schoolmaster Fess, Lawyer,
John Garibaldi, Sargent, Joe Freling-
huysen and Puddlen Jim ate her
beans. Denby and the oil leases rest
ed his public-service-weary bones in
her white chairs. So did John W.
Weeks. Dr. Work Sterne and New
Hampshire's Moses. She knew the
warming sun and howling nor'west-
ers that sent sailors' hats whirling.
Airplanes dropped Sunday papers on
her decks and carrier pigeons took
messages back to an anxious White
House. In short. Harding's pride and
Skipper Coolidge's. too. And now a
wreck in the Philadelphia Navy
Yard! Fire swept her the other
night, water poured in and she went
down.
A tear, then, for the Mayflower.
She didn't blaze away on Lake Erie
or turn the Spaniards back at Manila
Bay, but she wrote American history
Just the same. All together, a salty
tear.

ARMY GOES EXCLUSIVE
Getting into the United States
army nowadays, even as a private, is
an exceedingly hard Job almost as
hard as it used to be for a Catholic
or a Jew to get into the Ku Klux
Klan.
You might have all the social or
political pull In the world, but it
can't get you by a hard-boiled re
cruiting sergeant these days.
The army is taking on mighty few
new enlisted men, and those who are
accepted must be physically perfect,
have no wars or other blemishes, and
not addicted to jazz or crooning.
The flattened condition of the
army appropriations is responsible.
The enlisted personnel has been cut
down to the lowest possible limit.
