FEELING THE PINCH
AMERICA'S WORKLESS
RICH SHOULD BE TAXED
WASHINGTON, Bth December. Senator Walsh iv a bitter address condemning President Hoover's unemployment relief proposals, and exhorting Democrats, to prepare their own programme, demanded that the rich should pay the cost of supplying tUo workless with jotos. "Soup kitchens and free beds have their place as stop-gaps," he said, "but what the unemployed want is not a dole. They want an opportunity to work. Those who have incomes of 50,000 and 100,000, and 1,000,000 dollars a year have got to meet tho expense of this emergency. I call cm these men with their fortunes to pay increased taxes." He drew, attention to recent speeches by prominent men such as Professor Nicholas Murray Butler, the prominent American publicist, issuing warnings that there, was a danger of social revolution unless the problems of unemployment and depression were solved.
