CERMANY FEARS APKTRY OF ILE Lteng Jobless Men Finally Abandon Hope of Ever Working Again. Spcctal Dispatch to The Star. BERLIN, September 28.—Moral ef- fects of prolonged unemployment are being studied by sociologists, who note 8 strong tendency among the unem- ployed to accept their situation as a normal one and to abandon completely “&ny thought of returning to work. Men who had always had jobs in the past spend the first few weeks or months of their unemployment looking for work. They go from one office or factory to another, filling out applica- tion forms, but after repeatedly being wn_they give up looking for ."and even refuse to in rumors or reports obs are vacant. ierous cases have been reported in which unemployed men have taken to their beds, having so far sunk into apathy that they lack the energy to get up. Still others spend their days sitting in a chair, vacantly gazing into space. Hundreds of thousands of men throughout Germany, it is declared, have totally abandoned any idea of ever working again. Crowd Libraries and Baths. That many others, however, have not become wholly apathetic is attended by library statistics. The free libraries of Berlin are besieged by unemployed men. In one working class quarter the num- ber of readers has more than tripled gince the unemployment crisis began, and it is calculated that the increase in readers due to unemployment is be- tween 60 and 70 per cent in Berlin, as & whole. Another pastime of the unemployed 1s bathing. Never have the open-air bathing establishments in and near Berlin seen so many bathers as this year. Many workless men spend all their time at the beaches daily. Even in 1931 the Wannsee, & popular iake in the suburbs, had more than a million bathers, whereas in 1924 it had only 350,000. It is belleved that the total may reach 1,500,000 this year. Simi- larly the Miggelsee, which accommo- dated only 50,000 bathers in 1924, had 320,000 bathers last year. “ " says the Vossische Zei- n commenting on these facts, “is real luxury of the unemployed t of those who are able to buy Many unemployed s on their ability to r declare that they are unchble to give up cigarettes, saying that tobacco for them takes the place of eat- ing, drinking and amusement.” Growing Up in Idleness. As a consequence the tobacco indus- trv has undergone a veritable revolu- tion. Cigarettes have always been dear in Germany, but new types have been created in response to the demand for cheaper grades. They are now avail- able at the equivalent of 6 cents for a package of 10, and the average price of all cigarettes sold is about 8 cents for 10. In addition there is admittedly a considerable clandestine trade in to- bacco sweepings and raw leaf, sold among the extremely poor at & nomi- nal price. One of the gravest moral dangers seen in the unemployment situation is the rise of a generation of young men who have never worked at all and have no prospect of getting jobs. They live among older people who have begun to accept idleness as a normal condition, and in many cases these boys have be- gun to draw unemployment relief with- out £o much as ever having applied for a job. They in turn accept the present situation as entirely natural. If cendi- tions should change and jobs become pientiful, it probably would never occur to them to ask for one. (Copyright, 1932.)
