THE GREAT WAR OF 1933 The Great War of 1933, in the words of a noted London journalist, J. L. Hodson, in the “News Chronicle”, is the great war of knowing what to do with the unemployed. He has finished visiting Sweden, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Italy, Holland, Belgium and France, where he made careful inquiry into the numbers of the unemployed and methods being taken to provide for them. His conclusions are that “only the Great War dwarfed this one of 1933 in horror. In every country in Europe sui-
cides are piling up in hundreds or thousands. In every country undernourishment exists, and in some it is extremely grave. Nowhere in Europe did I find the campaign being prosecuted with genius or even adequate thought and vitality. If ever complacence was an outrage it is now.”
