'President Hoover's forceful
lultlrcss to nenrly 400 industrial
leaders in Washington yester
day is one for which the coun-
i try will thank him. It is bound
to produce results. .
There is no eause for any
pessimism or permanent dis
couragement. Hut the well in
formed men know that there
lias been a sharp increase in
'unemployed.
We have in the United Stales
probably fully as many unem
ployed as there are in Britain,
where the government pays a
"dole," enough to live on each
week to those out of work.
We have here 2.000,000 more
unemployed than they bave in
France, where unemployment
is practically unknown.
And this is surprising in the
richest, most prosperous coun
try on earth.
The President is determined
to do something about it.
