If Congress accept the Michigan Senator's plan for an unemployment census, the President would have a sound basis upon which to formulate his demands and a reliable indication of the true success of his program, Mr. Roosevelt would no longer be torn between two factions demanding from one to three billions for relief, and Presidential estimates would cease to be an economically unscientific but politically prudent mean between...
