(W oo d ie) W oodm an The question ol employment, un■ employment and re-employment have come very much to the tore In Waahlugtuu during the past f. w weeks. Wise political observers ex pect It to become one of the para mount issues of the campaign with Republican orators Insisting that, on the basis of the only estimates avail able, little has been done toward bringing down unemployment. The American Pederaton of Labor esti mates some 12.OUU.OUU persons job less, while the National Industrial Conference Hoard estimates run about three million less In all of the political footballing the fact has been lost sight of that the manufacturing industries have been steadily going about the Job of re-employment while others talked. As a result during the past two years 80 percent of the re-employment has taken place in manufacturing Indus tries, and statistics reveal that these industries today are employing ap proximately 7.UUU.U0U wage earners as compand with 8 , 800,000 at th> 1929 peak. The political contusion comes be cause of the loose term "industry'’ that Is usually applied when unem ployment Is being discussed by { stump-speakers. Obviously when manufacturers never employed more than 8,800,000 persons, they cannot readily absorb the nino to twelve million now listed as unemployed. Where the remainder of the unem ployment lies, no one can say. And it is for this reason that repeated suggestions have been laid before the Administration to take a com plete census of the unemployed so that the extent of the disease and its particulars may definitely oe known, and from this Information plau a real campaign for its treat ment. The difficulty is that the un employment question has become so much of a political football that in dustry is oft< n hampered in Its ef forts during a campaign year to re- etnploy the Idle. Folks who know their way around the Capital believe that talk of changing the Constitution or strip ping the Supreme Court of power will be held to the minimum during the coming year. It hus been diffi cult In some cases, but there are in dications now that even Senator Nor ris of Nebraska, a proponent of hum bling the Supreme Court, has sur rendered for the time being. At least he has been quiet on the subject re cently. Figuring prominently In the Con stitutional question is the fact that the South almost as a unit Is oppos ed to tampering with the present In stitutions. That part of the country It Is pointed out. went through a period Immediately after the Civil War when constitutional safeguards were forgotten or ignored. The re sult is that not only the congressmen hut their constituents still have long memories. State's rights still are a rallying challenge and sentiment op pose giving up these rights. This general attitude that prevails III the South and Southwest has been explained time and again by the chairman of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees— Senator As- hurst of Arixona and Representative Summers of Texas, both Democrats. They are well-grounded students of history. Comparing t h e United States with other countries, they in sist that the American system of de mocracy is the best and that any ba sic tampering with the structure will In-vl ably bring a dictatorship, whe ther Communism or Fascism pKAMg respondiug week last year.
