The US plans to accelerate construction of public works and buildings nationwide to combat rising unemployment, as evidenced by congressional proceedings on the Mississippi River program and new government buildings in Washington. This follows earlier recommendations by Mr. Hoover during industrial conferences, with state governments also increasing work ahead of the presidential election to maintain public morale.

Construction of public works and buildings will be pushed in every part of the United States this year. This is evidenced by the proceedings in Congress. The Mississippi River program will go through in some form or another, and the work will proceed. Another master program of building is already under way in Washington, where millions of dollars are being spent in putting up new public buildings for Government offices.
Several years ago the subject of unemployment was definitely analyzed at a series of industrial conferences held in Washington, with Mr. Hoover in the capacity of chairman. At that time there was an understanding that public building enterprises should be postponed until such time as unemployment existed in the country. That state of unemployment is now present and it is increasing. And besides there is a presidential election this year. By general agreement many of the state governments will do extra work this year.
The public morale must be kept up, and therefore a serious condition of unemployment will probably be prevented.
