This comes u . surprise to a num ber of people who ought to be used to aurprlsea by this time. Probably a dozen bills have been Introduced tor such a survey; press and public have demanded It In res onant tones and with sweeping ges tures. But was all. Whep anody asked the president, iwhy not?" he always answered "de fine unemployment, please I" 1 Apparently, somebody stepped up and did Just that. It the loquacious squirrel which lives under the White House eaves Is correct, it was quite a distinguished group who did the defining. Not Just one lonely deftner. Several . And so, that hurdle having been hurdled, the rest was easy or should be. ' Senator Black of Alabama Intro duced a bill, which, among the horde of others, nobody noticed. In fact, what with the Jefferson island party Just leaving off, and the Fourth Just coming on, nobody has noticed at this writing. However, examined through a high power microscope, this document looks very Important It reveals what appears to be a White House watermark, perhaps even a White House fingerprint. Now, once the experts have reduced the bona fide "unemployment" to a formula, It will, they say, be easy for any good, average census-taker to go right out and count noses. Of course, to be of any value other than serving as a slice of political pork, an unemployment census must continue to be a going concern, that Is It must be cumulative, kept up to date. ., - ..-- - -,-f. - - Some of the modus operandi of this Job might conceivably be furnished by the United States employment service and, If we follow the British system, and keep right up to date. the postman can ring twice, once a month, and pick up the latest sta tistics with the outgoing mall. The first salvo In the renewed bat tle over the court reorganization bill Is due to sound off Immediately un less the boys have to go home and hoot off their children's fire crack ers first.
