up the slack in the labor market and pro-
viding employment for all who are willing to
work especially as it will be increasingly pro-
nounced as rehabilitation OF the army pro-

paternal attitude toward all business ac-

meet expectations il has created to the ut
most of its powers The country cannot af-
