One of the most widely-accepted assumptions about 1936 is that the economic situation of the country— the degree of recovery—will have a most important effect in the elec- tion. Just now the one really difficult factor in that situation is unemploy- ment. 4 Industrial activity picking up. Credit is expanding. Agri- manifestly i3 | | culture is finding less to complain about, land values are better. All along the line, the economic indices p | —all except one—point toward im- provement. No completely reliable figures are available, but all sources of eco- nomic information agree that reem- ployment has failed to keep pace with the general trend of recovery. Some even question whether there has been any real expansion of em- ployment at all in the last year. Without such an expansion, rea' and recognizable, political arguments that the depression is over run into | immediate difficulty. Spending Program That, however, is only a part of Choice Turkeys For Thanksgiving Dinner THE ALASKA MEAT CO. PHONE 39 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, NOV. 26, 1935. the story. Another prime topic ot | oolitical discussion is the spending srogram of the Roosevelt admin\s-‘ ration. With that, too, the unem- | Jloyment situation is linked directly. | So long as a disproportionate per- | entage of workers remain jobless, | elief demands on the treasury will >2 heavy. Even if the administration loes not ask for large appropriations, | t is certain that the states and nunicipalities, working through their -epresentatives in Congress, will ini- | tiate and vigorously press such ap- propriations. | 1t is plain that Mr. Roosevelt does not desire to enter ‘the 1936 cam- paign as the advocate of another top eavy annual deficit, but many of his supporters see only one way out. That is why the Works Administra- tion is trying so feverishly to save its program from failure. That is why new methods are being consid- ered to boost private pay-rolls. ‘What these new methods will be is not yet certain. The effort to induce business to move ahead confidently continues, but the results are hardly all that Wachington desires. The | alternative may be new legislation | the next se. n of Congress for ¢ purpcse of spreading employ- men. Shorter Werk Week It is the lesson of all past depres- sions that after substantial recovery has been attained, a residue of exc; labor is left behind. That is due to ral causes.
