Speech #670170531

I want to say to the gentlenman from Georgia ltit one of the saddest reflections upon our Government. upon the present administration. is that we do not even know the numl)er of unemployed. Our Census Bureau can give you the exact number of lead of cattle. but it call not tell you how nlialy men and wonlien are unemployed today. and the figures ire all the wily between 4.000.000 and 6.000.000. When it was necessary to paSS it law restricting immigration the Secretary of Labor said 6.000.000 were unemployed. and when Secretary Hoover got scared at the magnitude of the figures he said it was 3.000.000. I do not know which one was further removed from the truth.
