UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES 117 {art's hin ons the ro- to n- TO= wn ly, nis be te, Ja he 1al re er 7S ti- r= to quote the bill, “conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations and the standards of efficiency prescribed by the director general.” So at this point it is proposed that the Federal appro- priation shall be given ‘to the State for the operation of its local exchanges on a 50-50 basis, or for the establishment of new ex- changes where none existed before, in return for which the State agrees, through its legislature, that it will operate the public agen- cles in accordance with the rules and regulations which the director general prescribes. Whenever such agencies do not conform to the Federal director’s regulations, or when, in the opinion of the director general, the State agency does not properly expend itself either the Federal aid or the moneys appropriated out of its own State treasury, he may revoke the certificate and withdraw the aid, subject to an appeal to the Secretary of Labor. Now, since it may appear that I am quoting from other than the bill, let me turn to the provisions of the bill itself, section 9: it shall be the duty of the director general to ascertain whether the system of public employment offices maintained in each State is conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations and the standards of efficiency prescribed by the director general in accordance with the provisions of this act. The director general may revoke any existing certificates or withhold any further certificate brovided for in section 7, whenever he shall determine, as to any State, that the cooperating State agency has not properly expended the moneys paid to it or the moneys herein required to be appropriated by such State, in accordance with nlans approved under this act. 1, tO Ys es ‘al to 10 of d 18 MN 11 3, 1, 1] Le 7 a a > 3 You perceive that goes directly to approval or disapproval of the expenditure of the State’s own funds, as well as the expenditure of the Federal aid in conformity with the rules and regulations prescribed by the director general. Mr. Sumners. Mr. Emery, would it interrupt you there to ask a question? Mr. Emery. Not at all. Mr. Sumners. The result of the action of the Federal officer, however, is merely to withdraw from use in the States the Federal funds, is it not? Mr. Emery. Yes, sir. If you will permit me, I think I will antici- pate your thought there. Mr. Sumners. I will withdraw the question then and not clutter up the record. Mr. Emery. If you will permit me to conclude my statement with respect to the form of the bill, I think I will anticipate just what you have in mind. The plan of control does not stop, however, with financial persua- sion. That, I think, we may appropriately call the plan up to this point. It goes much further. There is a balance of $1,000,000 Per year within the proposed appropriation, and this is available for two major purposes to be found in section 10 of the bill. These are to be expended: First, to establish a system of public employment offices subject to Federal control within the States which have not established such offices; and second, to establish and maintain such offices in States which already possess a system of public employ- ment offices but which, in the naive language of the bill “have not complied with the provisions of section 4,” that is, have not, through their legislatures, accepted Federal aid upon the terms upon which it 1s offered—that is, the section throuech which this control is ac-
