In his recently published book on Federal relief he declares flatly that relief has never been “adequate.” Whatever else the curtailments now under way may do they will probably not help satisfy Mr. Hop- kins .m.u»plmn of “adequacy not an auspicious configuration forlindlvidual in character and mlm" starting any new project.

Best indication, perhaps, that the strike has gotten out of the control of the employers and employees is determination of Assistant Labor Secre- tary Edward F. McGrady to go to Washington for the opening of Congress. The Labor Department official has not said that his attendance at the open- ing of the session has anything to do with the strike but it is evident that he believes another tack will have to be taken to bring about a settlement. That approach may well be through Congressional act There is indication, too, that strikers and ship- owners are getting around to feeling keenly the public view that settlement must be forthcoming shortly or an impossible situation will exist.

Curtailment of WPA has brought criticism and praise on the head of Administrator Harry L. Hopkins and what the future holds as a solution will be largely up to Congress. An interesting view of the picture is given in the following report to the New York Times from the national capital: Mr. Hopkins believes that there was unnec- essary suffering among the needy unemployed between 1929 and 1933. He expresses confi- dence that the Roosevelt administration will not allow this episode to be repeated, and that no future national administration will dare to disavow Federal responsibility for aid to the unemployed.

Govern- ment has the responsibility of seeing to it that citizens do not suffer privation, and busi- ness has an interest in the dollars which wage- earners spend as consumers but which they cannot spend when they are idle. “It is perfectly plain from remarks that can be heard on every hand,” Mr. Hopkins de- clares, “that very few people have even a good working knowledge of the employment situation in which this country finds itself today. And why should they have? We have had unemployment in sericus quantities forty years, but all we ever did abeut it offi- cially until less than four years ago was to ignore it.” 1 These are the gener: ministrator Hopkins as fa his policies.

The fund for the following fiscal year, to the end of June, 1938, will be requested in a separate appropriation measure. It is safe to say that the WPA-expects to have its load down to $100,000.000 a month by the end of January, and that unless the bus ness situation takes a bad turn it will not ask for more than $1,200,000,000 to carry it through the next fiscal year.
