Tuesday, 4 March 1930

Washington:  The worldwide economic depression worsens: Labor Secretary James J. Davis announces that unemployment in the U.S. is at 3 million. 

New York:  A New York Times article says that while soviet Russia is fomenting unemployment riots around the world, its own official figures put unemployment there at 7-10 million -- higher than any country it agitates against.  Moreover, Russia’s unemployed are ruthlessly suppressed from demonstrating.
