TAKING THE HARD WAY
BACK TO RECOVERY
Aa the first six months of a new
year pass into history, it is cus-
tomary to take a general look around
to see how far the nation has gone
forward — or slid back — during
the period. In line with this custom,
statisticians are emerging with their
late June reports. And for once, dry
figures are serving as a medium for
a highly dramatic contrast.
On the bright side of the picture,
the Department of Agriculture pre-
sents proof of a “traditional sign of
prosperity" — a decline in farm
population. This decrease, the first
since 1930, shows that during 1936,
the number of persons living on
farms dropped 80,000. The assump-
tion, of course, is that factory jobs
lured them to the cities.
In another government statement,
It is estimated that the cotton car-
ry-over on July 31 will be a million
bales less than the carry-over for
that date last year. The assumption
here Is that that many more bales
Will have been sold.
Other figures from the Depart-
ment of Commerce show that in the
first six months of 1937 industrial
production rose 20 per cent over the
1936 period; factory employment
was up 13 per cent; factory payrolls,
29 per cent; machine tool orders
booked, 90 per cent; construction
contracts ahead, 17 per cent; divi-
dend payments, 40 per cent.
• * •
By themselves, these figures indi-
cate that our undernourished eco-
nomic problem-child is putting on
weight. But to understand the real
portent of the gains, it Is necessary
to consider the difficulties under
which they were accomplished.
During the first four months of
the year there were 2058 strikes, in-
volving more than a million workers.
The number of man-days lost for the
period reached nearly 11 million.
Wages lost by striking employees
and production lost to factories dur-
ing involuntary shutdowns are in-
estimable.

NEXT: What birds dance together during courtship season’’
state steel strike and the innumer-
able side-strikes are added, the total
first six
economic loss for the
months will be no less than stag-
gering.
In the face of terrific and wide-
spread industrial disturbances, it is
remarkable that business Indexes
show any improvement at all. But
the fact remains that they do, and
for this, the United States has ev-
ery right to pat itself on the back
and strut its prowess before less
successful nations.
But then, as far as the strikes
have gone, the nation hasn’t done
itself so proud. In the light of our
other improvement, they pose this
sobering thought;
How much farther around the De-
pression corner would we have been
if industry and labor could have
resolved their differences before the
strikes instead of after them?

Several white settlers of
^ Jamestown were taken pris-
oner by the Indians and some
were killed when Pocahontas,
pretty young daughter of Chief
Powhatan, was enticed aboard a
British ship, taken to Jamestown
and held as hostage for the return
of the colonists. It was she who,
legend insists, threw herself upon
the prostrate Capt. John Smith,
as the ax was about to fall on his
neck, and saved his life. Now, as
prisoner among the colonists, she
became a Christian and married
John Rolfe.
In 1616. Rolfe took his bride to
England and presented her to
King James I. Dressed in her
queer court costume, she became
a sensation, and was entertained
by the nobility. She gave birth, to
a son, Thomas, who was educated
in England and later returned to
Virginia.
Before Pocahontas could return
to America with her husband,
however, she died of small-pox.
Her portrait, as she appeared be-
fore the king and queen of Eng-
land, is on the flve-cent stamp of
the three issued in 1907 on the
tercentenary of the founding of
Jamestown.
