| Public work and work-relief projects
can absorb no more than a portion of our unemployed men
and women |
In spite of the gigantic appropriation
voted by Congress for work relief, relief on a large scale is
to be with us for a long time to come, points out this writer.
The prospect offers a two-way challenge to administrators of
relief to set their house in order for the hard pull; to the
public to rid its mind of misconceptions and face the facts
of the problem.
