already has held conferences with
OAR officials in Massachusetts,.
Mrs. Pouch explained that the new
OAR program would be specifically
for officers of the Army, Navy and

OAR will provide, through its war
bureau, information and service of
all kinds. Transportation and hotel

Veterans To Oppose

Legitimate Organizations to Find Wealth of Support
With Servicemen in Post War Period, Says lehman

in recent weeks, much speculation
about when the war will be over.
There Is, however, no speculation
about the fact that our enemies are
on the defensive and that their
doom IS inevitable. Italy saw this
inevitable doom and finally agreed
to our terms OF unconditional sur.
render. In some respects the situa-
ton is not unlike that which existed
In our domestic field in the late 1929
and 1880. The stock market had be.
gun to topple and finally such a
serious crash resulted that 1t SEEM
ed inevitable that we were in for a
long period Of liquidation. Yet there
were very few, even though their
better Judgment told them they had
better get out, who actually took the
step. They did not realize that
whatever their loss may have been 1t
would have been small compared to
that which they eventually had to
bear. In their blind psychology they
held on praying for miracle to
happen.
1.-THE dictators, II they have any
judgment at all, must know that
their doom Is sealed, but human
psychology is such that they keep
holding on with the consequent ira
gic waste of human lives and the
appalling destruction Of property.
Our terms Of unconditional sur
render will seem mild in their con-
sequence when compared to the
havoc that will be wrought In Axis
countries and to the toll Of human
lives that will be taken while the
dictators are waiting for miracle
that will never happen, Some Of
them are continuing the struggle
because they fear death. Dictators
want their subjects to die for their
cause but are too cowardly to jeop-
ardize their own lives for their
country. Their own people, 1t Is
hoped, will see through their mo-
tives and take action in their own
hands, as did the italian people"

Men IN service in the defense Of

ISOLATION Of Credit Men, in his
Monthly Business Review released
today. THE courage Of these men
in our armed forces has seldom
been equalled, and 1t has never
been exceeded. They will display the
same courage on their domestic
problems. Their right to work, 1t Is
logical to assume, Is not going to
be impeded by irresponsible labor
racketeers."
Respect For Law
The executive head Of the credit
organization pointed out that this
does not mean the returning SOL
oilers and sailors will be opposed to
sound labor organizations They
will return from an experience In
organization never previously wit
messed in the world history" he
points out. Make no mistake about
this - the responsible, far-visioned
labor leaders need not fear the atti-
tude of these service men towards a
sound labor organization. On the
contrary, constructive labor leader
ship will recognize in these men the
strength necessary to eliminate the
racketeer from the ranks Of labor
organizations. Management, in turn,
has acknowledged that constructive
unions are a part Of our times and
has recognized the need Of closer
cooperation with them. The return
ing service men will, above ell
things, want to be law abiding citi-
zens and they will respect the labor
laws. On the other hand, If In their
opinion some Of the labor laws need
amendment or new labor laws are
necessary. they will have the cour-
age and force to see that they are
enacted. Having saved the country
and our way Of life, they are the
one great group which will wish to
determine the course Of our nations
future history and who will have
special privilege to do so.'
