10 Iun1S Tor the purpose, and on
his return, made known the COM
mittee's decision.
Undoubtedly, the committee
fastened to act on the belief that
Italy's unconditional surrender
was impending and that it had
better get rid of problem which
In the past kept on embittering
the relations Of Paris and Rome.
With the elimination OF a perma-
nent cause Of quarrel, French
and Italian interests ought not to
clash any more.
But this objection is sure to be
raised: Is the committee compe-
tent to do away with an interna-
tional treaty2 Does not the COM
mittee wander beyond the scope
Of the diplomatic recognition
granted by the United States
Government on August IS?

The answer is that the con-
vention of 1896 lapsed at the very
hour the Fascist government
stabbed France in the back. Gen.
Charles Mast, high commissioner
In Tunis. appointed by the Com
mittee of Liberation, ignores the
convention in his administrative
acts. The decision of the COM
mittee amounts in practice to
this: The committee would not
try to enforce again a convention
which, as its French and italian
promoters saw 1t, was not ex-
pected to survive a deed of war.
In virtue of the privileges Sc
cured for them in Tunisia, Ital-
ians were entitled to retain,
from generation to generation,
their old nationality. Normally,
under French law, neither the
foreigner who takes residence
for life on French soil nor the
son OF that foreigner, himself
born in France, compulsorily

Puerto Rico Faces Loss
Of Its Rum Industry

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Sept. II.
Total extinction Of the Puerto
Rican rum industry for the dura-,
ton with grave results" to the
insular governments budget was In
dicated yesterday by Gov. Rexford
Tugwell, when he said the purchase
Of the entire molasses supply Of the
island by q government agency"
was imminent. H.
Gov. Tugwell announced appoint
ment Of Teodoro Moscoso, head Of
the Puerto Rican Development Co.,
as a special representative Of the
insular government and said Moscoso
would 90 to washington In an effort
to keep enough molasses in thu

withdrawn from the old Russian
borders, he would not hesitate
to consider them. The Soviet
government has never committed
itself to the thesis Of uncondi-
tional surrender.
A consideration Of German Ap-
proaches and an eventual accept
ance Of peace terms could not be
interpreted as . desire on the
part Of the Kremlin to leave the
Allies in the lurch.
It Is certain that II . new
Berlin government were to send
its emissaries to discuss peace,
the Russian Premier would i'm
mediately inform the Allies Of
the contents Of the peace terms
and Of his intentions. Unques-
tionably, he viii collaborate with
his present associates at the es-
Enlistment Of peace In Europe.
But 1t is also probable that
should the American and British
governments maintain their posi-
ton on the question Of uncondi-
tional surrender Stain would
inform US politely that the time
has come for Russia to cease
fighting.
Russian Losses Heavy.
The theological angle Of the
war is only OF secondary impor-
lance to Russia. The Soviet has
been devastated by the Nazis and
has lost, all told, between 24,00o,-
600 and $4,000 900 people In the
war. This figure includes, Of
course, women, children and old
men whose deaths can be attrib-
uted either directly or indirectly
to the war. The Soviet's eco
nomic plans have been set back
for at least 10 years and she has
suffered more than Britain and
the United States.
Under these conditions 1t Is
considered likely that If Stain
judges that the peace terms are
made in good faith and are bene-
flcial to his people he would not
hesitate to inform US and urge
London and Washington to join
in regardless of their uncondi-
tional surrender policy.
How President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill would
react If confronted with such q
proposition is difficult to say ut
present.
From the military point Of
view, however, 1t is considered
that our position-which Is splen-
did at present-would change
almost overnight II we were to be
confronted with the entire Ger
man military force.
This does pot mean that we
could not defeat the Germans
over a period Of years. In 1917
the Germans withdrew their en-
tire forces from the eastern to
the western front and they were
ultimately defeated.
Today we have an anchor on
the European continent. It is
less favorable than the front we
had as years ago in France. But
a war of determination could be
conducted from Italy and South
ern France, which we could
enter Il we SO desired. .'.4 !.
~" The question is whether the
British and the American people,
who still have q rocky road ahead
Of them in the Far East, would
not indorse what IS expected to
be the Russian solution.

mo. z OF a Sertes.)
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

On the code-filled pages of Gov
eminent manual, there's an encour-
aging story for the soldier who lost
Q leg in Sicily or hand in the South
Pacific.
It's manual of jobs for the men
who thought they could never earn
a living again. The manual wouldn't
mean much to the public-it's much
too technical-but it tells this story:
There are hundreds of jobs that
q man who has lost an arm or a
leg can do. There are jobs that a
blind man can perform, jobs for the
hard Of hearing, the heart cases,
those with arrested tuberculosis.
The secret is to match jobs to dis
abilities.
Work Began Year Ago.
That's what the medical divi-
sion of the Civil Service Commits
sion started out to do more than a
year ago. The immediate need was
to solve the manpower shortage by
using the handicapped, but the work
was started with the realization that
1t would be blueprint for finding
Jobs for disabled veterans during
and after the war.
Regional representatives of the
medical division went into 100 Gov
eminent plants and private facto-
ries working on Government con-
tracts. They went into the aircraft
plants, into navy yards, into depots
and arsenals.
They watched bricklayers. car
penters, electricians. machinists
printers, boilermakers, craftsmen
riggers, laborers. inspectors, weld
ers and hundreds of others. They
watched their movements as they
worked. Were two hands actually
needed for that job? Could a man
with a back injury perform it?
They talked to foremen and san
itary engineers. They studied the
conditions under which the men
worked.
$500 Jobs Surveyed.
In all, they surveyed 1850 jobs
They found that a man with some
disability could perform any one OF
them.
Out Of that survey came the man.
ual and jobs for $1,000 handicapped
persons. including veterans, since
last October.
The manual is not for general dis.
tribution. 1t goes to appointing
oficials in the Federal Government
State rehabilitation agencies, thu
Veterans Employment Service, tn,
Veterans Rehabilitation Service o.
the Veterans Administration ane
State commissions for the blind.
BY consulting the manual, tn.
rehabilitation agencies can decide
which jobs veterans can be trainet
TO perform, which jobs they are bes
suited to.

very clearly that man with an
artificial leg can fill the opening,
can do the work.
Plants Analysed.
The hiring Office at a Government
plant simply has to refer to the
analysis of its own plant in the
manual to see which jobs can be
filled by the disabled. If the plant
is not included in the manual, 1t
can ask for survey.
In addition to the listings by Job
and by disability, there are guiding
remarks:
Work is not arduous. Employees
must be able to stand for long
periods"
"One intact hand and good grasp
ing power in the other is sufncient
for this work.
Most Of the articles handled are
not heavy, and chain hoist is
readily available"
impaired hearing would be an
asset"
Guide to Industry.
While the manual is designed to
make a place on Government jobs
for the disabled, 1t is also a guide
to private industry. The rehabili-
tation agency, reading in the man
ual that man with missing fingers
can become q canvas maker, dia-
mond driller or blacksmith. can
train the man for one OF these Jobs
whether he winds up in a Gov
eminent plant or a private one.
AS for jobs for returning Govern
ment workers who have lost an arm
or leg in action, the Civil Service
Commission has made 1t clear that
Uncle Sam isn't going to turn away
its former employees just because
they are no longer qualified to per-
form the duties" of their old Jobs.
The commission is asking for
whatever authority it may be nee
essary for it to have in order to
make sure that few appointing
officers do not place the Federal
Government, as an employer, in the
position OF having broken faith with
its veterans"
Bureaus Make Plans.
Some Of the Government depart
ments already have made their
plans to take back their own dis
abled. Others are now asking for
only disabled veterans in certain
departments. The War Shipping
Administration is training them as
| inspectors in private shin renoir
yards. The War Department wants
70 make all requirements In its pub
hcation division-employing l,763
workers-from the ranks of the dis
abled.

Stern Message
to Union Leaders

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-tP)
The war labor board today
called a public hearing for to-
morrow on the anthracite strike
and asked union leaders and
operators to attend.
Chairman William H. Davis,
in a telegram to President John
L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers, officers of the princi-
pal coal companies involved,
and, and officers of local unions,
said:
you are requested to appear
before the war labor board at

14th and Constitution avenue.
Washington, for the purpose of
stating fully the reasons why
the anthracite miners, citizens
of the United States whose sons
and brothers are at the fighting
front, are on strike against the
national no-strike policy and
against the welfare of the ma
ton in time of war.
THE case has been certified
to the war labor board and the
board will, in accordance with

since the wartime finance pro-
