POST WAR EMPLOYMENT

POST WAR EMPLOYMENT
Behind or after the war, the
main problem viii be employ
ment Of those discharged from
our armed forces, the war
workers and the disabled vet
Grams. Our thoughts immedi-
ately plague US with the bug
aboo-"last to be hired, first TO
be fred"
But first let US consider the
meaning Of Post War. Ordin-
arily when the enemy surren-
ders, the war is over. Those
who enlisted for the duration
plus six months could easily
estimate the latest possible
time before they would be back
home after the cessation Of
hostilities,.
This war is not an ordinary
war as We cannot entirely de-
pend on what constitutes the
wars end. For instance, you
remember the news item Of
a government official asking
for priority on a million or so
ribbons TO be used by the Army
Of Occupation of Germany
you recall the nation advanced
that the United Nations would
have TO educate the Germans
to the ideas and processes Of
democracy, also the thought
advanced that there would
have to be a cooling of period
after the war before any peace
terms can be enforced. These
are some Of the indications
that the Post War Period will
not be an ordinary one.
So we will have a little long
er to help solve the employ
ment problem. But, there is no
time to waste. Many have al
ready started. Just last week
rs prominent clergymen of
Protestant, Jewish and Roman
Catholic faith met in New
York City to form plans to pre-
vent wide spread unemploy-
ment so curse our land and
to disillusion our citizens and
returning soldiers"
In contrast there is a typical
case of one of our young girls
who became so thrilled about
going to Washington to work
that she thought she had a
life time job. It will be quite a
Jolt and delusion for her to
step down from a $50 a week
position to zero a week or into
somebody's kitchen. This is
just what we MUST prevent by
every means at our command.
We have a special state COM

Some few months ago when
the FEPC was announced it was
headlined in every paper and
discussed everywhere as a big
stroke against segregation in
the war effort. It must be taken
into consideration that the New
Deal set-up in every department
is controlled by Southern infu-
ence. Every commission ap-
pointed by executive order TO
break into the Southern Race
Policy is headed by some south
erner who processes to be a
friend to the colored people.
Under such q. regime an execu-
tive order without legislative
sanction become a mere request.

TEN Of reading the designs Of
others: yet concealng ones own
purposes.
A letter recently published by
Mark Ethridge, Editor Of the
Courrier-Journal Of Kentucky,
who was appointed TO head the
FEPC bears out three facts. Mr..
Ethridge said in substance, that
the combined military power of
the Allies and Axis is not suf-
fcient to break down the souths
system Of segregation. As a
group the colored people are the
victims Of too much political
expediency.

The Catholic Church through
its organization, the National

Maine to Alabama, has brought
to the attention of Congress a
sweeping and uncompromising
indictment against southern
race prejudice. Among many
things in its employing quail

national and community
problem which affects all citi-

by the joint action of the COM

He said the resentment OF the

he termed these three oversights of

That no insignia had been issued

That the firemen had been issued
no equipment such as the gas masks
and helmets given the auxiliary fire
wardens.
That the firemen had been given
no authority to operate during
