F) The del will be necessary In this country If direct home relief, substantially as now administered, Is permitted to be abandoned, C. O. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter, Portland, Ore., said today. Addressing a western division meet ing of the Chamber of Commerce of tha U. sited States, ne sam, -oniy di rect relief, or the dole, Is within our capacity to pay during the periods of years In which unemployment relief will have to be provided on a major: scale." Public works would cost many 1 times what direct relief would cost and could not be financed on a scale adequate to provide unemployment relief,' Chapman said. Job Insurance No Cure. . "Unemployment insurance is in no sense the answer," he asserted. Neither is the 30-hour week, nor sharing the work. "Only by holding the expense with in available resources and balancing our budget year by year may we be assured that e can continue to pro vide unemploymcns relief during the years that It probably will be the major expense item of government." Chapman estimated major unem ployment relief will be needed for at least six more years. Local ana re habilitation relief, he said, may be necessary for several years beyond the end of the six years, He estimated relief will be required for "more than 10,000,000 persons at the seasonal peaks of several years. This number may be reduced to as few es 5,000,000 "five" or six years from now, under favorable progress of recovery." Relief Costs Predicted. The cost of direct relief, as at prea- j wit, he estimated at within two bil lions of dollars a year, "if present unemployment is not greatly increas ed," he said the dole would cost four billions a year. Even this, he assert ed, would be tar less than would be involved in attempting to provide un employment relief solely through public works. "We can learn much from England concerning the dole and concerning the inefflcacy of public works as a olutlon of unemployment relief," Chapman said. Chapman admitted that the dole might cost 50 to 100 per' cent more than direct relief as now disDurseu.' "Neither the dole nor direct relief," he said, however, "are beyond the taxpaying resources of business in its larger sense if relief can be restrict ed to this cost. It Is only when wo get beyond direct relief, or beyond the dole, that we begin to set up cost and expenses that are likely to be far beyond what business can en dure as a taxpayer over a period of I FLIES Charles I".
