PEACE NEEDS PREPAREDNESS, TOO.

The New Republic, too, has taken up the cam
paign to induce nation, states and communities
to plan public works to give employment to re-
turned soldiers so that a period of unemployment
with its train of disaster may be averted The
Herald has been urging consideration of this plan
ever since America entered the war, and has re-
peatedly pointed out that it is as dangerous to
enter peace unprepared as it is to enter war un-
prepared.
The New Republic takes for it's text the old
story Of the Arkansaw traveller who encountered
a native fddling cheerfully away before cabin
with leaky roof. Asked why he didn't mend the
roof, the native replied: when it rains l can't
and when it don't rain l don't need to-
"In our national attitude toward unemployment
we adopt similar attitude and run into the same
lazy dilemma says the New Republic. eve can
not solve the problem of unemployment during
periods of actual DEPRESSION when hungry men
tramp the streets in search of jobs; on the other
hand, when. as today, the job is looking for the
man, the whole problem of unemployment seems
unreal The world would be revolutionized if men
could think six months ahead. ~.
FORTUNATELY we need no longer argue that un-
employment is no concern of the nation. Ten
years ago, even two years ago, we should have had
to meet the contention that employment and UNI
employment were the private affairs Of capitalist
and wage-earner. In this land Of unbounded op-
portunities any Industrious man. it was claimed,
could always find jobs if the matter were left to
private initiative Private initiative! How hollow
the words sound now and how apologize is the
once confident dogmatism of the theory! The war
has forever exploded the myth that all we have to
lido is to leave things alone-Duluth Herald,
