Employment Furnished by
Federal Public Works.
Washington.—MIllllons of men of all
elasses, representing virtually every
fine of industry In every nook and cor-
per of the United States, will be res
eued from the slough of unemploy-
ment by public works administration
funds this winter.
This faet presented Itself when
Harold L. Ickes, secretary of the in-
terior and head of the administration,
announced that some $£2,000,000,000 al
ready had been allotted to fight the
war on the bread lines.
It Is estimated by Department of
Labor experts that this money distrib
uted throughout the land will provide
8,220,000 man months of employment
In addition to at least twice as much
Indirect or secondary employment,
Reach Peak Next Spring.
Furthermore, It was announced at
the administration that the volume of
work provided will Increase steadily
until a peak Is reached sometime next
spring, although winter weather will
retard the program somewhat.
With weather conditions in mind the
administration took action on allot
ments for road construction work In
the far northern states first, so that
something could be accomplished there
before winter,
An Interesting fact In vconneetion
with the allotments, It was pointed
out, is that the secondary work-—the
gathering and processing of materials
~gtarts as soon as the allotment Is
made and quite some time before di
rect work on the project site Is started.
At the same time It was shown that
only the smaller portion of the sum

gilotted to a project Is spent at the
project site proper. The greater part
is distributed to industries far and
wide or to what the administration
knows as “capital goods producers.”
As an example, there Is taken an
allotment for a bridge in New York
state as soon as the allotment Is made,
contracts for materials are signed and
the producers of “capital goods” pre
pare for an Increased output,
Orders Spread Out.
Steel Is ordered from Pittsburgh and
movement of ore from the mines of
Minnesota — figuratively speaking —
starts. That necessitates some In-
crease in shipping on the Great Lakes,
and after the ore Is processed and the
steel fabricated, raliroad menfare as
signed the task of hauling it to New
York.
In an Instance of that kind, admin-
istration officials sald, the amount of
secondary employment effected coud
never be traced. The Increased sieel
output calls for more coal and count
less other materials essential to the
processing.
Going deeper into the situation, they
pointed out that the increased pay
rolls provide funds for such purchases
as clothing and household needs from
industries entirely unrelated to the
project for which the original allot
ment was made.
Again, they show that most of the
funds allotted for Irrigation projects
in the Southwest, will be spent else
where. Electrical equipment will come
from Schenectady and cement from
the flelds of eastern Pennsylvania.
Naval experts say that most of the
£25.000,000 allotted for new ship con
struction by the administration will
be spent “Inland” for materials giving
secondard employment to thousands,
The public works officials have made
every effort to distribute the funds In
such a manner as to give every section
the same measure of rellef and allot
ments have been made for projects all
the way from the Virgin Islands to the
Philippines and from Alaska to the
Gulf.

he is of the Jewish race, and the atth
tude of Hitler and his followers to
ward that race has provoked the wrath
of the entire civilized world,
A matter, however, far more mpor-
tant than racial discrimination is in-
volved In the act of forcing so great
a scientist from his place in the unk
versity where he labored so long. No
nation can afford to throttle the ad-
vance of scientific Investigation or
block the efforts of those who labor
in the field of research. Every nation
that has tried to do so soon passed
out of existence. A nation which by
coercion endeavors to control the free
dom of choice In the matter of per.
sonal liberties soon falls into the grave
which by such acts she has dug for
herself,
One of the great advantages of this
country has been the freedom with
which our men of sclence have been
encouraged to continue thelr scientific
work regardiess of race, color or re
liglon. Large sums of money are an
nually raised by taxation for the sup-
port of state universities, and private
endowments supply funds for the equip
ment of laboratories. If our govern
ment were to attempt to thwart the
progress of scientific Investigation, it
would meet with such protest that the
action would soon have to be rescind:

dom of speech would not stand for It.
May our country be spared from such
a fate as was experienced by other na-
