NOT LOOKING FOR WORK

A dispatch from London says
the million workers are idle in Great
Britain. But the fact does not
mean that there is no work for l.
100000 who should have jobs.
'aMany people at present idle could
get work if they liked" says the
secretary to the National Union of
Manufacturers of London. ':They
prefer leisure at present.
The newspapers tell US that many
thousands of former United States
soldiers are without employment in
this country at present. The ques-
ton is pertinent. Are such really
looking for work, or are they pre-
tending to seek something they do not
want to fnd?'
We naturally esteem our young
men who braved the peri!s OF the
Atlantic to get to France and showed
themselves valiant in the fiercest
clashes of war ever known in the
history of the globe. But such should
not attempt to pass the remainder OF
their years resting upon laurels. At
the close of our internal struggle,
fifty-four years ago, the survivors OF
the Army of the Potomac and the
Army of Northern Virginia return
ed to their homes where they were
ioyfuHy received. The larger per-
centage got oft Of their uniforms as
speedily as possible and went to
work. General Fitzhugh Lee, it will
be remembered, planted corn as
speedily as possible and grew large
crop in 1865. A small percentage
however, never made good after the
war. They whiled away their time
taking of little else than war ex-
perience and the issues which brought
en- that conflict. In the meantime
their former comrades were at work
and prospecting.
