To a non-American who had yet spent a number of years in the United States, this point of view, linked as it was with more or less impassioned statements as to the'] hardy independence of Americans, appeared strangely bewildering In what sense did it encourage the fine hardihood of the American character to be obliged to subsist on private charity? And what did it feel like to the millions redteed to such straits in the land of the free! It finally dawned on this observer that the problem was being regarded almost solely from the point of view of those who gave-dispensers.of alms, who were often happily rewarded in the warm glow which their benevolence aroused. Generatity is `undoubted- ly
American characteristic. Therefore to meet the problem by the exercise of generosity was, 80 it appeared, the American way. The point of view of the recipient of this charity was for the time being sadly ignored.
Fear of Dols,”
Of course there were sounder arguments to combat any form of federal unemployment insurance, argumenta based on state sovereign ty and the known difficulties and dangers to be encountered in such a scheme. But the stream of inco- herent reasoning poured forth over the radio and elsewhere was at times about on a par with the cur- rent use of the word "dele" for unemploment insurance, instead of for the method of relief by private charity-which is, of course, quite simply and literally a dole.
Now the American Federation of Labour has for some time advocat ed a scheme and President Hoover's recent announcements have given it some support, which, though it is not without its weaknesses and dif- Acultios, may yet quite definitely be said to have an American' favour, There is not enough work to go around," says Labour, in effect. Let us then apply the principles of justice and equality, and share what we have. Let us adopt a five- day week."
