0B SOURGE HELD CONCERNOFTRAE Woodring Says Prosperity Alone Will Not Solve Unemployment. “A greater business improvement will not alone solve the unemployment problem. * * * A complete return to prosperity will not solve all of the difficulties of unemployment.” These declarations were made last night by Harry H. Woodring, Secre- tary of War, to the Washington Board of Trade at its December meeting held at the Willard Hotel. More than 1,200 members of the organization heard ‘Woodring explain that he was speak- ing “not as a member of the cabinet nor an officer of the War Department, but as a business man and banker,” i presenting what he declared to be the “greatest problem facing this Na- tion.” “There is no question,” he said, “that much has been done in the past few years in the unemployment field, but we have merely scratched most faintly the surface of the problem. ® ¢ * Much has been done to overcome this by spreading employment throughout the year. Much more can be done by long-time planning for labor requirements.” ‘Woodring said the social security act will play a vital part in encourag- ing naturally idle men to seek em- ployment, but at the same time in- dividuals accustomed to certain lux- uries will not give up those minor parts of their living willingly.

Expects Co-operation. *“If industry does not help solve this problem there should be increased action through governmental control. Do we want private initiative of in- dustry to cope with the problem of un- employment or do we want to leave it entirely in the lap of governmental legislation? I feel confident American industry and business prefer the for- Accordions $19.50 up Clarinets $36.00 up Trumpets $19.95up - Saxophones $68.00 up Drums $5 up Banjos $32 Mandolins $11 Guitars $6 Ukuleles $2.25 up Violins $10.95 We stock the largest stock of musical goods in the city and makes THE EVENING STAR, WASHING Jobs Problem Put Up to Induétry Secretary of War Woodring vcenter), who Hotel last néyht that the biggest problem of the dal/ Morris, president of the Trade Board, and at his righ mer and will soon vigorously tackle the task.” Secretary Woodring headed a dis- tinguished delegation from the War Department, as guests of the Board of Trade, which included most of the chiefs of the Army services.
