Much OF the imports and exports OF

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
WHO LOOK AFTER THE
WELFARE OF THE GOVERN
MENT EMPLOYEES?

The Government is carrying on campaign
of Amercanizahon-a welfare campaign for new
citizens
When former Secretary Franklin K. Lane re.
tired he said: There are great many thousand
people here lin Washngtonyt to whom the Gov
eminent has given no consideration excepting
that they are its employees"
Every great business organization, every large
employer of labor, has a welfare depaTtmsnt-
that is, all but ooe-the largest one-the Gov
eminent.
Perhaps that's why in private business men
| and women are said to work with their employer
| and in the public business they work for the
Governments (
Americanization is cooperation. It's welfare
work for and with those persons the Government
is seeking to Americanize
Why doesn't the Government begin at home
and look after the welfare of its employees?
