Great Britain and Czecln ? nimg to figures raeantly com? piled in Pan?, there are practically no idle worker.- in France and there has been little unemployment there since the armistice. In Belgium the percentage of idle was H in May. 1021 ; in January. 1922, it wan 11.2j in August last it was only 4. Ger? many's percentage in J.ily was 0.6 and in August 0.7. Out of 14.000. 000 German workmen there were only 43,217 this fall hunting for jobs. Great Britain has been carrying a huge unemployment burden. In June. 1921, there were 2.177.OO0 workers idle and 908,000 partly idle. Ijast August the number of idle war, 1.378.000 and of partly idle I The pound sterling ha.- advanced sharply toward par, showing finan? cial readjustment. But industrial recovery lags behind, Great Britain ' still has a surplus of Industrial workers, undrained by emigration. The i'zecho-Slovakiari crown has also appreciated. But th-- rew re? public lias now about l?>0,ii00 men out of work. IaBst July the situntion was better, 2?,"..'.0 unemployed re? ceiving allowances from the state and 22,000 being: aided from private sources. Austria is prostrate, finan? cially and economically. Vienna alone had 40,000 unemployed la*-t May, about as many as all Germany. Poland's mark has shriveled in value. Idleness there i? also on the decrease. Last February IR.T.OOO unemployed were r?-ported. In June total had fallen to 10.ri,000. , Italy, too. has taken a big turn for the better. Last July there were only 407,000 out of work, compared with 7r.0.000 5iv months earlier. ???Hand's unemployed decreased from ]4>S,<>00 m February to 80,000 at the end of July. Holland ha? .vercome unemployment. In the Scandinavian countries the percent? age of idle is now almost normal. Despite pessimism and political fric? tion Europe is mending beneath the surface, although the healing proc isa is unobtrusive and slow. Whalen's Bridge The bridge that f'ommisiioner Whalen proposes to buil-1 acr I-a-t Ptiver would cost more than '00,000. The preliminary esti? mate for structure and terminal i? f41.000.00fi. Fnterpriscs of this particularly when conducted by Tammany, always far exceed th? original estimates. In the opinion of all intelligent tra-ction engineer? bridges are far inferior to tunnel? as a means of ?toss-river transportation. They require large tracts of land at each -ml. which must be acquired by con? demnation proceeding?. Tammany s batten? on the pur?-lia?e of Plunkett used to call it "honest graft." Vet Whalen Is determined to build the bridge, confident that he will have the backing of Tammany. Tnmmany wants the bridge, be? cause its members have lacked an opportunity like that for a long time. So, despite the opinion of en? gineers, despite the fact that .'? bric''-e is ?umber.'-.jrr.?' and out o' ?late and that it will cost an al ?eady tax-.iiudcned people many . what it ought to cost, it is likely to be built. The one hope of the people lies in ?a Republican Assembly, which has ?the power not only to veto this gi I gantic scheme, but to keep the con? trol of i?II means of transit, includ l ing mean? to carry people from bor? ough to borough, in the safe hands e Transit Commission.
