The article presents information related to social and political issues of the world. The speech of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt before the New York State Federation of Labor urging a State-wide system of unemployment insurance is a matter of large importance. The Governor has apparently determined to offer that leadership in the employment crisis, which the Administration at Washington has so conspicuously failed to furnish. If intelligent people will back him vigorously, the foremost industrial State in the Union may turn out to be the first one to develop a modern scheme of protection against unemployment. A considerable number of ridiculous calculations have been published at various times purporting to show that it is safer to travel by air than by rail. The Actuarial Society of America has just issued an interesting report containing real information.
