' tuili e.
They have set economists to
Inquiring about the low Income
group that Is said to form a
third of the population. How
much money does it make? Ilov.
does Its Income and living vary
•from region to region? How long
lllive those without jobs been ou
of work? How are the houses
fixed for baths? How many per-
sons live In a room?
Out of the answers to these
qiiitious, the economists will
piece together analysis that will
help guide not only government
but industry, labor and agricul-
ture.
More tliuti ordinary interest Is
uttai bed lo the population shifts
of Hu' last ten years. Droughta
I and povcity have driven many
persons away 1 rum old homes.
