King George, resplendent in the crimson tunic of a field marshal, svapped to a salute and shook hands with Leopold as the young visiting monarch stepped from his train in Lawton to a platform carpeted with scarlet plush, The Duke of Gloucester, who had }la' officially welcomed Leopold when his yacht docked at Dover, King George and Leopold then drove to Bucking- ham palace. Halifax’ conversations with Hitler and other German leaders were ex- pected to enable the Briton to report to Prime Minister Neville Chamber- Jain as to whether there were any real basis on which Britain and Germany could enter into a new friendship.

(First) The Weather Mostly cloudy tonight PRICE FIVE CENTS Unemployment Census Census (An Editorial) Two factors impel the average citizen to hope for suc- cessful accomplishment of the unemployment census, which begins today and ends Nov. 20. The first is the need for the data which this census, if rightly taken, will disclose. Unemployment is and has been for seven years the greatest peace-time problem this nation has ever faced. Now, for the first time, an effort is being made to analyze it, find out WHAT it is and WHERE it is, This congress will again try to deal with the unem- ployment situation, It can hardly be expected to do an intelligent job unless it has facts upon which to base con- clusions. The second factor is the MANNER in which the census is being taken. The government deserves credit for not set- ting up a separate bureau to do this job. Instead it has been turned over to the post office department. If the post- men do efficient work it will be an urge toward fewer fed- eral bureaus, broader assignment of duties to those which remain. This the government most certainly needs, both to reduce costs and promote efficiency. Still a third factor is vital in this area. It is specialized and not general but from the standpoint of immediate interest it is more important than the other two. This is the relation of the unemployment census to the distribution of relief. Western North Dakota wants no more than its just share of government support, but if this census shows fewer jobless persons than actually exist the result may be to reduce relief appropriations which are sorely needed, both by those unable to obtain private em- ployment and by business firms which have been receiv- ing substantial portions of the relief dollar. These considerations make it imperative that the entire community join in the effort to help the postal department do a thorough job. Every businessman and every em- ployed person should lend his services to this effort because each has a direct stake in it. - No nation loses by frankly facing any situation and the world’s greatest democracy has even more need for an understanding of FACTS than is true of nations under other f ‘of, government, : This’census bids fair to be the beginning ofan ‘effort to deal with unemployment upon the basis of things as they are and that, certainly, should be given every encourage- ment: There has been too much bungling, too much un- certainty, too much striking out in the dark already. \Belgian Airliner UNEMPLOYMENT REPORT CARD Please fill out this card if you are totally or partly unemployed Answer all quéstions promptly It is important that EVERY totally or partly unemployed worker in your household fill out a SEPARATE report -First....
