Upon it depends, among other things, the size of the relief burden and the fate of the Federal budget. The first step toward any businesslike approach to the unemployment prob- lem would have been the most exact determination possible of its size and nature. The Administration has preferred, instead, rely upon guesses, Against this policy there has been in the last two years a growing demand for a trustworthy census for a visit!The bill for a so-called “unemployment census,” re- | cently passed by Congress and now signed by the Presi- dent, is a mockery of this demand.
