This article focuses on the social conditions of the U.S. In spite of rosy accounts in the press of improved economic conditions of the U.S., the only definite change observable is some increase in prices, which without augmentation of employment only aggravates existing distress. Even though a few more persons may be at work than last winter, the number is not enough to make an appreciable dent in the 15,000,000 of unemployed. Meanwhile hunger and homelessness seem actually to be on the increase, owing to exhausted personal savings, depleted treasuries of relief organizations, and the general failure of governmental agencies to rise to the occasion.
