Gruenfeld, Judith | July 8, 1939 issue

add to cart   close window

Adolf Hitler, German dictator is trying to extract work from his labors without giving them food. His labor policy is designed to get more work out of men who have less to eat. But even a dictator cannot override physical laws. Overwork and undernourishment are depleting man-power. Millions of work hours have been lost in the past year because of sickness. In fact, according to the official report on sickness among insured workers, the damage inflicted in 1938 upon German economy by disability-solely among obligatory insured workers-equals the loss of 740,000 units of man-power.
