The MARCH OF TIME REG. U.R. FAT. OFF. Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine STATE OF THE UNION— WASHINGTON — Surrounded by microphones, Franklin Delano Roosevelt last week discharged his constitutional duty of addressing congress on the state of the union, covered the assorted aspects of the nation's current condition with earnest persuasiveness and vigorous self-assurance. War and Peace: "I am thankful that I can tell you that our nation is at peace. It has been kept at peace despite provocations ('Panay' sinking) which, in other days, because of their seriousness, could well have engendered war. Resolute in our determination to respect the rights of others, and to command respect for the rights of ourselves, we must keep ourselves adequately strong in self-defense." Legislative Program: The president recommended for enactment the farm bill, a wages-and-hours bill and modernized anti-trust laws. Of the second recommendation (which the house sent back to committee in the special session) he said: "We are seeking of course only legislation to end stravation wages and intolerable hours. Wage and hour legislation is definitely before this congress for action." Of his third recommendation (on which he indicated a special message would follow) the president said: "Capital is essential; reasonable earnings on capital are essential; but misuse of the powers of capital or selfish suspension of the employment of capital must be ended or the capitalistic system will destroy itself through its own abuses." UNEMPLOYMENT: CENSUS AND COMPENSATION WASHINGTON — Complete enough to be presented to the president last week were the results of the first census of United States unemployment, carried out under a $5,000,000 appropriation and with the aid of the post office department, by President John D. Biggers of Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co., appointed to the job last fall by Franklin Roosevelt. Of the 81,000,000 unemployment blanks distributed last November by lettercarriers, 7,822,912 were returned by persons classifying themselves as unemployed and willing to work. But a door-to-door census covering 1,950,000 persons indicated that this was only about 72% of the people who, when ferreted out and interviewed, classed themselves as unemployed. On this basis the total unemployed population of the United States would be 10,870,000. In a supplementary report on the status of unemployment by states issued next day, New York headed the list with 969,840. Other facts: Of the questionnaire total, nearly 6,000,000 were men, nearly 2,000,000 women; 2,000,000 considered unemployed were actually working on relief jobs; 20 per cent, according to the Gallup Roll, thought their replies would bring them jobs. Main inaccuracy of the census was obviously the fact that, while it included the first month of recession, unemployment has grown more acute in the last month. Current unofficial estimates of the total number of workers who have lost their jobs since September average 2,000,000. made all this timely last week was that Japanese forces were at the moment approaching the great Shangtung city of Tsingtao where Chinese looters, firebugs, panic-stricken soldiers and gangsters were creating fresh chaos as they laid waste the $100,000,000 of Japanese property in the city. Tsingtao's moon-faced Mayor Shen Hung-lieh, admiral of the insignificant Chinese navy, at first did his best to have Chinese looters shot on sight, and numerous corpses accumulated in front of Japanese shops. As the mayor's authority crumbled, and as madened Chinese started looting and burning indiscriminately, Admiral Shen adopted the desperate expedient of having signs put up directing prospective looters to Japanese premises, in the hope that they would spare others. Finally the admiral fled pell-mell with Tsingtao's Chinese police. RADIO WAR— CAIRO, Egypt—In Saudi Arabia, in Palestine, Syria, Egypt and other Arab lands of North Africa, many Arabs faced 1938 last week with little food and less money, but plenty of others had new radio sets, all of which had been delivered absolutely free by suave efficient young men who set them up, tuned and locked them at a certain wave length and departed smiling amiably. Not charity but an undeclared war of increasing bitterness caused this lavish dispersal. Ever since the British joined in voting league sanctions against Italy during the Ethiopian crisis, the Italian short wave station at Bari has poured out an unending stream of anti-British propaganda in Arabic, intended to teach all Moslem nations that the British Empire was falling to pieces, that Benito Musolini was a proper protector for Islam. Britain protested officially and unofficially Italy's answer wa Budget: "The proposed budget 1939 (the fiscal year beginning next July 1) ... (excludes) a further decrease in the deficit, though not an actual balance." Taxes: "In relation to tax changes, three things should be kept in mind. First, the total sum to be derived by the Federal treasury must not be decreased. Second, abuses by individuals or corporations designed to escape tax-paying by using various methods of doing business, corporate and otherwise—abuses which we have sought, with great success, to end—must not be restored. Third, we should rightly change certain provisions where they are proven to work definite hardship, especially on the small businessmen of the nation." Recession: "All we need today is to look upon the fundamental, sound economic conditions to know that this business recession causes more perplexity than fear on the part of most people and to contrast our prevailing mental attitude with the terror and despair of five years ago." Objectives: Having dealt grandly with as many sides of the complex subject of the general welfare of the United States as any one man could be expected to in one afternoon, the president closed on the major theme of the New Deal's broad objectives: "A government can punish specific acts of spoilation but no government can conscript cooperation. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering hardship... have a right to call upon the government. I do not propose to let the people down. I am sure the congress of the United States will not let the people down." Spying House Republican Leader Bertrand H. Snell as he left the chamber, Franklin Roosevelt cockily confided: "Bert, as they working on relief jobs; 20 per cent, according to the Gallup Roll, thought their replies would bring them jobs. Main inaccuracy of the census was obviously the fact that, while it included the first month of recession, unemployment has grown more acute in the last month. Current unofficial estimates of the total number of workers who have lost their jobs since September average 2,000,000. The Social Security act of 1935 provides for federal old age benefits to workers over 65; but it also makes special allowances for states that pass unemployment compensation laws. In 21 states and the District of Columbia, the insurance scheme first went into effect last week, and henceforth workers who have been laid off will begin receiving benefits varying from a minimum of about $5 a week to a maximum of $15 a week — payments to continue in most cases for a maximum of 16 weeks. But the untried machinery for paying benefits was in no shape last week for the demands likely to be made on it by the current wave of dismissals. Even more likely to stall the New Deal's major scheme for alleviating unemployment misery is the probability that the total fund of approximately $400,000,000 now available for benefits will expire sooner than was foreseen. New York's fund of $88,812,000, for example, would provide average benefits of $10 weekly for 16 weeks to only 555,075 people. FOG—LONDON—Fog was so thick in London last week that Charlton soccer eleven's Goalkeeper Bartram stayed at his post long after the other players left the field. CHAOS AND RUIN—NANKING, China — As Japanese troops seized another 9,215 square miles of Chinese territory, the Chicago "Daily News" last week published dispatches from its able Shanghai correspondent—including extracts which Chinese censors had previously slashed out! Samples: "Nanking's greatest fear, which explains the sudden evacuation of the capital despite the fact that the Japanese troops are still 110 miles east of the city gates, is looting by Chinese troops—not fear of bombardment from Japan." deoyor fails to provide work for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering hardship... have a right to call upon the government. I do not propose to let the people down. I am sure the congress of the United States will not let the people down." Spying House Republican Leader Bertrand H. Snell as he left the chamber, Franklin Roosevelt cockily confided: "Bert, as they used to say on the east side of New York, that wasn't esking them, that was telling them." MORE SHIPS— WASHINGTON — Because the bombing of the gunboat "Panay" had made the United States more receptive to the idea of a bigger navy and because a naval building program would help depressed business, Franklin Roosevelt last week wrote to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Edward Taylor: "The preliminary estimate called for appropriations to commence during the fiscal year 1939 two battleships, two light cruisers, eight destroyers and six submarines. Since that time world have caused me growing concern. Many nations are enlarging their armament programs. I have used every conceivable effort to stop this trend and to work toward a decrease of armaments. Facts, nevertheless, are facts, and the United States must recognize them. Will you, therefore, inform the subcommittee on naval appropriations that I may send supplementary estimates for commencing construction on a number of ships additional to the above program?"

Hence, when Joe's nurse left the room for a few moments two days after the operation, she warned him not to move. But Joe suddenly remembered that the friend with whom he had been living in Newark was about to be dispossessed, thought he might not find him if he stayed in the hospital any longer. He felt all right, got up, wrapped his pajama-clad hunk in a blanket, clamored over the window sill, slid down 35 feet of water pipe to the ground, trudged across a swamp in his bare feet. At Harrison, a mile from the hospital, a night watchman gave him a pair of rubbers and suit of overalls. Joe went on to Newark, found his friend, still felt all right, decided to stay awhile and enjoy himself. Police were still searching the swamp for Joe's body last week when he walked into the hospital and apologized. He felt fine, he said, but had decided it was wrong for him to leave. The astounded staff rushed him back to bed where an examination disclosed that Joe's healing heart had suffered no ill effects whatever. SINGING COP— SAN FRANCISCO—George W. Stinson, 35, was brought up in a St. Louis orphanage, became a San Francisco motorcycle policeman in 1926. In 1930 Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink admired his tenor voice, and four years later San Francisco's Opera Director Gaetano Merola took Officer Stinson under his wing, called him a potential Caruso.
