SAYS NONPROFIT | ‘WORK IS NEEDED|

Claims Unemployment ls Factor in Welfare Of Nation.

Unemployment has been a factor in the welfare of the nation, John EK. Jennings, Indiana WPA Administrator, menting upon disclosures in the national jobless census. Many thousands of persons in the nation and vast numbers of machines were busy during the depression making gods. for relief consumption, according to the administrator. “The function of a machine is to produce .goods and the function of goods is to be used by the people,” Mr. Jennings explained, “but the fewer the people, the fewer the goods they can use and the fewer machines that can be run profitabl “It is true that a man has no excuse for a place in society unless he produces something useful, but it is not true that the only useful thing is something that can be sold at a profit.

Nonprofit Production Needed

“We have developed machines to the point where it is impossible to employ all our available manpower producing articles that can be sold at a profit. Yet this manpower, or rather these men, are necessary to our economic structure as consumers. “It has been pointed out to me that what industry needs is many more millions of unemployed, tha% is, men unemployed in industry, unemployed in agriculture, unemployed in all occupations that produce foodstuffs, wearing apparel and shelter. “The permanent solution, I have been told, lies in creating not merely public tolerance of, but public demand for services of all kinds that do not produce marketable goods. “When the WPA was placed in operation in August, 1935, the Government put thousands of individuals into nonprofit-producing occupations end instantly business began to pick up amazingly. But when the public debt ran high and groups of our citizens criticized the amount of money being spent in these fields, the Government removed great numbers of these people from the rolls last summer and a business recession followed. “It is my belief that if we could transfer thousands of our unemployed persons into nonprofit-pro-ducing dccupations permanently, they would. supply a market that would keep our machines busy.”
