Olympic Games-Maybe

Next July, Finland is scheduled to play host to the worlds greatest athletes in the 1940 Olympic games. The meet has not yet been cancelled, despite Finland's preoccupation with Soviet invaders. It probably will not be, unless Helsingfors is in shambles or Finland has ceased to exist as territorial entity
 One of the principal obiectives of the Olympic games is to promote world brotherhood, The spectacle was called off in 1916, when the games were sched- uled for Berlin. Germany had bit of war on its hands that year, and 1t didn't seem proper to promote brotherhood with guns booming nearby
 The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States has bitterly condemned Russia for it's illicit and immoral" as- sault on Finland. It has publicly eX- pressed the hope that Finland will be in a position to extend her hospitality to athletes of the world next July. That hope is pretty generally shared through out the democratic world.

Relief Loads Still Heavy

The perennial end-of4the-year relief crisis are likely to spring up almost any where. Sometimes a little financial legerdemain can overcome the pre- Christmas distress of indigent families. But even the most aStute balancer of municipal budgets can solve the problem only temporarily. It will probably bob up again, when funds have been exhaust cd late in 1940. Despite the billions of dollars the federal government has poured into states and municipalities in the forms of direct and indirect relief, the burden of feeding and Sheltering its un- fortunates still weighs heavily on every community
 In August of this year, there were 1,592,000 cases on direct relief in all ot the AS states. A case may be either single person or family of four, eight or 10. The aggregate bill for feeding and housing these people was $38,088,000 - for a single month. The average month ly expenditure for every relief case dur ing the month of August, taken as repre- sentative month, was $2407. But the mean payment was considerably lower than this when considered on the basis of the average payment made by each state. Half of the states spent less than $l4 per case in August Highest payments were recorded in the more heavily popu- lated states, particularly in the east. This would explain the $l0 difference between the mean payments of states and the average national expenditure. Expenditures per case range all the way from $338 in Oklahoma to $S428 in New York, These are average figures, so that some Oklahoma relief eases were granted less than $3,38 ln supplies in August.
 It has been argued that the variation is due partly to varied living expenses in different sections. To point thls Is true; but that scarcely explains the $90l average in Virginia, which lies just south of Maryland where $22.4l was spent on each case. Nor does it explain why Arizona should spend $1238 per case while New Mexico puts out only $6.44. A simpler answer is that payments are not based so much on need as they are on the ability or willingness of the states to pay,
 All of the figures given represent only amounts contributed by states for the relief of their own indigents. They do not take into consideration the tremend- ouS allotments made by the national government for WPA, PWA, IVA and Farm Security aid. These agencies have ceased to be merely supplements to the local relief structures, have instead be- come virtually mainstays against utter distress. It would seem that some sys- tenn can be worked out so that the relief client in the southwest can be granted aid proportionate to that given the re- liefer in New York without increasing the load on the taxpayers.

Shortage of Skilled Workers?

Persistent rumorS relating to the defi- ciency in the numbers of skilled work men available to step into industrial open- ings eliminated recently in the report issued by the United States Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber started out to make survey of the effectiveness of state employment services. It concluded that employment services were operating as efficiently as possible. But 1t also dis covered that there is something to the reports of a skilled labor shortage.
 Particularly acute, according to the report, are conditions in the mental and building trades industries. The Cham Der also concluded that the shortages appear to be most noticeable in the east and middle west What alarmed the Chamber particularly was the fact that the average age of skilled workers in the building trades was 45; in the metal trades, 47. If this is true, they ask, what will happen in another few years? From where can industry expect to get its new workers, trained in their trades?
 Breakdown of the apprentice system and restrictions of vocational training in schools as a result of the depression are blamed by the Chamber as being responsible for the present lack of skilled workers. The report also speculated on the effects work-relief programs may have had on skill. In many cases, 1t was said employers are hesitant to accept men who have been on relief projects for the past several years because they have lost the skills of their trades.
 The report of the Chamber of Con- rnerce had not been calmly accepted. No sooner had the figures been published than the c. I. o. countered with vigorous relu- tation of any and ell arguments that skilled labor was nowhere to be had On the contrary, said John L. Lewis union, the labor market is glutted with all kinds of skill and the problem is, as always a shortage of jobs. The c. I. O. set the unemployment figures at 0,500,000 with b,600, ,000 registered at the U. s. Employ ment Service offices. In addition, ac-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-12-28

cording to C.I.O. figures, more than a million WPA workers are available for private industry.
 Despite present conditions in the ranks of the skilled, the fact that future shortage is impending cannot be over looked. Apprentice systems were hit during the depression for the valid req son that it seemed futile to train new men for jobs which didn't exist; and be- cause apprentices would have been used to take over the duties of trained work men. It is also true that vocational training programs suffered in the schools because of shortage of funds.
 There are about 5,000,000 young people out of work. It is believed very few are trained for industry Many have had university educations to fit them for business and the professions, most of the others have received no training at all With the average age of skilled worker getting higher, the shortage of skill may very soon become too evident for anyone to deny.

The National League of Women Voters who will start drive in the new session of Congress for reenactrhent of the Re- ciprocal Trade Agreement Program has long urged scientific tariff-making. In fact, as the president of the league points out, "the Reciprocal Trade Program is scientific method of tariff-making. Under it, Congress defines the broad basis fer our trade policy, and leaves to qualified experts the formulation of detailed pro- visions of trade agreements. ." For good many years now league members have made a study of the tariff system of this country. There has accumulated at national headquarters large file of state league materials on tariff showing the interest taken by women voters on this subject. Tariff breakfasts and lunch cons have been held to show consumers interest in import commodities. And state and community surveys of world trade have been made. Since 1886, it is stated, the organization has supported downward revision of the tariff through reciprocal trade agreements All this study and experience will now be used in the interests of the program planned by the league. This is just one branch of legislation that the league intends to push in the coming session of Congress.

With attention divided between the imaginary wonders of Gullivers' Travels and the cavalier spirit of Gone With the Wind 1t looks like the cavaliers and the cottong fields are on top. Certainly GWTW has influenced fashions, per fumes, dolls and so forth this winter. The modern miss aims to look like Scarlet O'Hara, and the modern cavalier aims to look like Rhett Butler One fancies Georgia looking as 1t did back in those days when, as the forward of the screen version of GWTW states, "there was land of cavaliers and cotton fields called the old south. . It was the last tableau of feudal days, the last ever to be seen of knights and their ladies fair, of master and of slaves. Look for 1t only in books, for 1t is no more than dream remembered, civilization gone with the wind"

However, the argument c6f- tinued even Up to last year, when Colonel Robert 0lds, ace Army pilot, proposed to take one Of the Army's flying Actresses Oil \ secret hop to Bermuda. finn1es diately the Navy raised such 6bs jection to his leaving the shores of the United States that the flight was canceled, and afi order issued against the Ariny's flying more than 100 mics out Co sea.
