Responsibility

TT is a government system.
1t is the same system that
has committed injustices against
our old soldiers in all our wars.
And If you think that things
will be any different for the SOL
diers of this war, kindly men,
ton TO me one single item Of
definite national legislation that
has been enacted IN their ma
terial behalf since the beginning
of the war after all the glow
ing promises made 10 them by
the administration. A..
Everything is for the soldiers
now, TO be sure.
But after the war it will be
nothing for them. unless we get
the legislation before the war
is over.
THOUSANDS OF men who had
Il TO leave good jobs when
called by the army have already
been discharged, for one reason
or another, and they seem 10
be strictly on their own as far
as the government is concerned,
though many of them might
have been utilized in desk work
and other noncombatant duties.
Some tell me that while they
have no great difficulty finding
employment under present con-
ditions, my dark forebodings
about the early bright promises
of old jobs to returned soldiers
were well founded.
The discharged men found
that old jobs had been filled by
others which is the tip off on
the situation that will confront
the millions of veterans who
will be along later.

These institutions are said 10
outclass by far the best of the
state and private establishments

feel that the responsibility is
so definitely the government
that the process or receiving the

In THEIR first grief over the
Il sad news Of a relative being
incapacltated II is only human
nature for a family TO offer 10

though they may not actually
have the means of so doing.
1t is all right when the fam
lily income is ample and stable,
but for the average family of
these days the disabled man can
soon become a heavy financial
burden.
| share the view Of navy post
that the army should not dis
charge a man who has been
wounded or mentally incapaci-
tated due TO service in the
South Pacific, North Africa or
anywhere else.

of sharp trading on the part OF

the army as much as the sys-
TEN that fosters the practice.

AS head of the American Legion,
Col Roane Waring has recently trav-
eld $4,000 miles, much of it in this
country.
He says he has never seen anything
like the way women and small chill
dren are going about the country
and he says flatly that he thinks they
ought to stay home.
He believes that if they don't the
government is going to have to crack
down on civilian travelling.
Look, isn't there something wrong
in Col. Warnings reasoning? He thinks
it is perfectly all right for him to
jaunt from coast to coast, addressing
rallies, speaking on such subjects as
"The War Effort on the Home Front"
But is it really essential for man,
even if he is head of great organi-
zation like the American Legion,
to travel over the country making
speeches?
Is there enough difference between
what he would say about the war eff
fort and what local thinker would
say to justify mans taking up train
space to go clear across the country
to say it?
Is it as important for the people of
a town to hear another speech on the
