form Of relationship between national

In general agreement bring out a defi-
nate objective toward which all may
work to that end that a thorough and
comprehensive public employment SER

Up to its entrance in the war, inc
United States was the only important
industrial nation without a compre-
hensive national public employment
system. During the war the United
States employment service was devel-
oped in cooperation between the fed
eral and state governments. Up to the
signing Of the armistice, some 700 pub
lie employment offices had been estab
lished and $500, 900 persons, largely war
workers, had been placed In employ
ment. Since the signing Of the armi-
stice the federal employment service
has been placing soldiers, sailors and
war workers back into peace employ
ment at the rate of approximately loO,
900 a week.
The United States employment ser
