bis economic security in an uncertain world.
This'is ono of the most important economic prob-
lems of tho country and as Mrs. Roosevelt stated
as yet wo havo failed to solvo it. The First Lady
also pointed out that American youth is more in-
terested in job finding than war. Scarcity of work
is more alanning to a young hopeful than the prob-
ability of having to fight. After all war is some-
thing that he must take when it comes and he can
at least fight with vengeance if it becomes neces-
sary. But if there is no opportunity he may lose
his enthusiasm to fight the battle of life.
Another important thing stressed by Mrs. Roose-
velt was that even in countries ruled by dictators
tho people will not fight in wars unless they arc
led to beliove they are fighting for a better posi-
tion in life. There has probably never been a hu-
man being that did not want to better himself eco
nomically and socially.
