The following essay has been written under a deep sense of the need of an honest effort at reduc ing if not abolishing the commercial and social cess pool of our age — unemployment. In this decade, when national ideals are taking a new and higher form, Unemployment, as a problem of industry, should yield to the higher industrial and social righteousness. We desire to acknowledge our in debtedness to Dr. Josiah Strong, of New York; Mr. A. C. Pigou, Mr. Percy Alden, M. P.; and Mr. W. H. Beveridge, of England, whose writ ings have greatly helped the writer to arrive at definite conclusions.
