IF OTHERS “WERE AS WELL OFF”
“There have been been wide differences in the statistical estimate of current unemployment,” writes I)r Albert Shaw, in the American “Review of Reviews.” Politicians and newspapers in Europe—find especially in England—have been trying to make their own people more happy by assuring them that there is even greater distress in the United States than elsewhere by reason of business depression and forced idleimss. There is such diversity of local conditions that aggregate figures, imperfect as they are, do not afford a basis for intelligent comparison. It is -enough to- say that any other large country in the world would be profoundly thankful if its people were as well off, in their prenpects for the year 1931, as are those of the United States.”
