People may ASK what is the need OF
this great work II peace is 10 come
soon Overseas workers and national
heads justly claim that the work will
be more badly needed If peace comes
than II war lasts. War keeps the men
interested. Police work in peace with
every man longing 10 get home breeds
inconsistencies and the blues Then
must the welfare workers exert every
effort 10 sustain the welfare and NOR

Why longer when America now has
SO many ships? Longer because the
ships America has built are cargo car
