UNEMPLOYED MILLIONS
AMERICA’S BIG PROBLEM WARNING TO BUSINESS MEN Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright NEW YORK, December 28. Mr Donald Richberg, executive director of the National Emergency Council, issued a warning at Cleveland to-day that 'America faces internal dissension unless her unemployed millions are given work. - Voicing the hope that business would do its part, he said there are large numbers of business men who now favoul- the dole because it will cost them less than to give men work. Criticising this view as very short-sighted, he added: “ Perhaps it might be cheaper, even in the money sense, to find work for these idle hands than to support .the armies necessary to hold them back if once these pleading fingers are turned into threatening claws. We may have some reasonable fears of a foreign foe, but the gravest dangers threatening America are those of internal dissension.”.
