was nineteen years, the United States

most criminal youths committed their
crimes because they were In need of
something and were not able to earn
enough money to obtain it honestly,
Social forces and agencies are not
apathetic to the crisis that youth
faces. Indeed several movements are
well under way to arrive at a solution
of the problem. Universities, private
business and government are all in the

Parties Organize Youth.
Both parties are well along toward
organizing the younger voters in the
campaign. Democrats of the ages of
about twenty-one to forty are belng
induced to join the Young Democratic
Clubs of America, under Frank Wick-
hem of Rioux Falls, 8 D. while the
Young Republicans are being organized

Madison,
Naturally the two movements must
operate under different conditions. The

With American youth holding so

it would not be amiss to review the

er than a “sponger” upon it.
Where to Find Jobs?
Opinions concerning the manner in
which jobs for youth are to be found
or created differ widely. They will have
to be found outside agriculture and
industry, 1t is claimed by Dr. Homer P.
tainey, director of the American
Youth Commission,
Henry Ford, on the other hand, takes
an altogether opposite view. The ven.
erable Detroit automobile manufac.
turer believes that extraordinary meth.
eds or change in the form of govern.
ment are unnecessary and unwanted.
He advocates increasing the produc.
tion of all kinds of usable wealth
this by relieving the producer from
interference by governmental and fin.
ancial agencies, which relief, he as-
sorts, would remove the evils of un.
derconsumption as well as underpro-
duction,
Mr. Ford says that real wages would
be constantly rising and “every human
being who needs employment” would
find a job if, “through distribution and
service,” Increased production prince
ples were carried out, embellished by a
boost in wages and a decrease of
prices,
The old adage that “youth must be
served” does not apply when there are
so many millions unemployed. It is only
fair that the jobs available first go to
family beads, and Miss Perkins reports
that Industries are returning family
heads to work before youths, Her
theory is that the additional purchas-
ing power created by the returning of
the older workers to employment and
the demand for goods which will result
ereate still more jobs, and eventn.
ally these jobs will be filled by youth.
