been issuing pronuncinmentos the lta1-
ian army has been quietly taking pos
session OF the disputed city, and is now
strongly cntrcnchcd there. This may or
may not mean that tho Italians intend
to hold tho place. regardless of the final
decisions of tho Paris council, but it does
suggest 4 very serious possibility. If
the Italians are to be put out of F'iurac,
who is going 10 do Il: Certainly the
armies Of France and Great Britain can
not be used for that purpose because
both these countries are pledged to give
Fiurnc to the Italians and certainly ar

not At war with Italy, and will not go

TAKING Up THE SLACK IN LABOR

VIC have taken several hundred thous-
and workers from other lines OF indus
tr,. and placed them in shlp-euildlnG
operations. and they arc likely TO re-
main there. for some time. We found
our ship-buldinE industry with lew
tons Of thousands workers engaged IN
it. while VIC now have in the neigho"r-
hood OF son. 900 thus engaged.
II will be year before our military
forces arc completed! demo olliz"o'
Probably in a year from now we may
still have a million soldiers. taken from
industrial life. who are not onck IN IN
dustral pursuits. and We have no dount
that beyond that point there will be hui
a gradual rehabilitation.
We arc therefore. short in our norman
supply of labor somewhere between
three million and f1vc million WORKERS:
so if We cnulud engage in our prc-~hr
activities on n post war basis i1nmed'-
atrly. there would hc II shortage OF IN"
supply of labor But We are hot IN
position TO do that.
That Brings us to the consideration
Of how We arc going Ia create reser-
voir thai will take up Il surplus labor
during the period Of Rehabilitation and
keep is husily cmplnycr-and Their" will
be great necessity for our i"oplr to hc
husily employed during that period
During the past two or three years
our public improvements have Jagged.
Gu. Federal government has not en-
gagged in the usual public improvements:
neither have tho state governments nor
tn" municipalities.
There were two reasons for that: the
shortage OF workrnen and Tho inability
To properly finance. Both Of these con-
ditions have changed. and there is now
a surplus Of labor. and tho Tcdrraltior-
eminent has released control Of finances
SO that credits arc now available.
To me the one great method of form
Ing a reservoir for buffer employment IS
to have tho Federal Government engage
and to have every state and municipal
government do likewise.
We would not ask that work no un-
dcrtakcn solely for thr rurnos" Of pro-
ridinE work. TO place mon al work on
any job. where the results from It are
mont needed. is just So much waste or
time and energy and man-row"r.
But there is a tremendous amoun- OF
work. a tremendous amount of im2rov"
