THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER J0B AID FOUND: | IN FOREST WORK Foundation Digest Says Em- ployment Could Be Given 70,000. Employment could be provided for %0,000 men for a year in State and na- | . tional forests at a cost of $52,000,000, according to a_survey by the Charles Lathrop Pack Forestry Foundation. The results. which are published in .the October Forestry News Digest, were received from the Federal Forest Serv- ice. the Indian Forest Service and State Forestry Departments. Employment Figures. H The compilation indicated that em- | ploymient could be given for 20.500.000 man the report said. if all neces- | sary funds were available. Of these | 38.000 men could be employed for a| year on State forest lands at a cost | ©f $30.000.000 and 32.000 on Federal | 2nd Indian forests at'a cost of $22.-} 000.000. The announcement said most of the iwork would be seasonal, varying from two to ten months a year. It would {include free planting, fire protection and igeneral forest improvement work. I “The figures are regarded as con- iservative,” the Digest said. “A study ‘of the answers to separate question- inaires reveals that in many cases the ‘replies have been based on plans al- ‘ready mace. and not on the amount of work that could be done if the budget for it were sufficient. There ‘is little doubt but that if the Govern- -ors of each State were to put up to the State forester the proposition of ‘the number of men who could be ab- sorbed in useful work without budget- ‘ary restrictions, the totals as given in the Digest would be nearly doubled. Private Work Not Included. : “This Digest does not include werk that should be done on private lands. An estimate is that three times the totals as given here would be about the correct amount of man days in order to improve and satisfactorily protect forest lands in private ownership.” | HOME TOWN CHEERS NEW LEGION CHIEF Johnson Gets Ovation on Return to!

By the Associated Press. | _Special advantages enjcyed by the | Government in competing with private business are stressed by the United | States Chamber of Commerce in a re- | port it describes as “another step in the | chamber’s effort to remove the Govern- | ment from business.” | | The national business organization | | said these efforts “will be continued until | | the chamber’s objective is accom- | plished.” | | The report was filed by a committee headed by Henry D. Sharpe of Provi- dence, R. 1. It said in part ““The Government's operations can be and are carried on without regard to the elements cf profit or loss, which are unavoidable factors in private business. | The Government can and does furnish | | funds which are employed, largely from | | taxation, without requiring or expecting | | payment of interest, let alone dividends, out of business. ““Public property used by the Govern- | | ment in buciness is free frcm any burden | of Federal taxation and is removed from | | taxation by the State, county and town | in which it is situated. Allowances for depreciation are usually disregarded. | _“It is obvious, therefore, that in any | | field of business in which the Govern- | es to enter private business ! will be proportionately eliminated—not by reason of the relative merit of the two forms, but because of the unfair advantages received by the former.” The committee recommended that the Government, should nct engage in busi- ness except when necessary to purely governmental functions, NEW YORK AID LIST GROWS 300 PER CENT July, 1932, Figures Indicate Months Will Be Required for Effort of Business Pick Up.
