a = UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES 179 Senator WaaNER. If the appropriation is made, I should think so. Those things go pretty quickly. Mr. BacamanN. Well under your -eivil-service provision, you would have to go ahead and select all the employees under the civil service law. Senator WAGNER. That is only here in Washington: that would not be for the offices such as your office. Mr. Bacamann. If the States did not go ahead and elect to adopt this bill— Senator Waener. The State is unhampered. Mr. BacaMaxn (continuing). Then the director goes ahead and establishes these different offices out through the States; and those employees, there is no doubt, would have to be selected under the sivil service law. Senator WaaNER. There is very little of that. Of course, that can be done to-day; the employment service to-day can 20 into any State and erect an employment exchange. That is not new at all, I can not imagine a director doing that excent in a case where there was an absolute necessity, because we want this cooperation between the States. I am certain there are some States where perhaps an exchange would not serve much purpose; if it has no laree industrial cities where an unemployment problem really exists. Mr. Tucker. This bill is framed very much on the lines of the old educational bill, 50-50; pretty much the same thing. Senator WaaneR. That, of course, is true. The advance planning bill ought to be passed at once, because it takes the Government about six months to get ready; and if there is another slump, they ought to be already prepared with their blue prints and all the other preliminaries, so that the work can start at once. Mr. MonTAGUE. Senator, why can not they do that now? Senator Waener. Well the difficulty is, Governor, they have not the information to know when the economic depression is coming. We only know it when it is here. Now that is the purpose of this whole legislation and, as I said before you entered, while some people have been talking here about some temporary palliatives, this is to be a permanent governmental instrumentality. Mr. MonTaGUE. I understand that. Senator WaeNER. To deal with this subject. Mr. MontacuEe. I understand that. Senator WAGNER. To plan ahead. Mr. MonTAGUE. That is a great help. Senator WAGNER. Yes, and you can not do it without this accurate information. That is why I say it is of primary importance. Mr. MonTaGUE. But here is a matter where the Government has appropriated a great deal of money for public buildings of one sort and another; it has blue prints and plans that have been drawn for two or three years: Why do not they go along and do something with it? They have the money already appropriated and they won’s do anything. Senator Waaner. They ought to do it and here you have a man- date from Congress, a policy declared that this must be done during periods of depression, and they have to be all ready with the planning. Mr. MoNTAGUE. Suppose the Executive does not do it: what are vou going to do then?
