This was just more then a year before Pearl Harbor. Most history books will tell you the Depression was over by then. The reality is that it wasn't over until the war industry started up.

The date on the negative is May, 1917, but it appears to be taken at the same time as the group of 1915 Bread Inquiry pictures. Leiter was in the news again in May 12, 1917 in connection with a public dispute with Thedore Roosevelt, and the date probably represents a re-use of a 1915 picture: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E07EEDE123AE433A...
