'":'wtt* ~ WASHINGTON


Washington, D. G. - It is i'm
probable that any labor draft will
be enacted by congress this year,
but such law is quite possible
Tor 1914 unless both men and
women shift to war work at a
much faster rate than at present.
When it was announced that ia
theirs would be drafted into the
armed services after October
unless they were employed in
necessary war work, the United
States Employment service Off
es prepared for a rush of appli-
cantS for war jobs. But during
the week after that announcement
there was no appreciate increase
in the number seeking war jobs.
Therefore, it was concluded that
the majority of fathers who are
not now in war work are willing
to take their chances with the
draft rather than seek more es-
Sential employment.
It may be found that good
portion of fathers under 38, who
are eligible for the draft, are now
in jobs which either have been
ruled essential or in jobs on which
no definite ruling has been given.
There is some question over the
essentially of many types of
jobs and it is expected that, be-
fore October l, a more complete
list of job classifications will be
worked out by the War Manpow-
er commission.
Meanwhile, Paul McNutt, chair
man of the VINO, has stated that
a "rock-bottom minimum of g.
100000 persons must transfer to
essential work before July, 1914,
and that 100000 of those shifts
to war jobs must take place be-
fore the end of the year. That
number of workers is needed to
take care of expanding war pro-
duction, to take the place of
young men drafted into the arm
ed services and to replace normal
casualties in the production ar
my.
In order to keep this on vol
untary basis, Mr.. McNutt has ask
ed that all employees use these
three rules in regard to job trans

Tor enduring peace more united determ-
nation to achieve it, than ever before in
history. That will be the world as we and
our children inherit it.
! OR some people that real world is too
big. They inhabit instead little world of
their own, limited by prejudice and walled
in by ignorance and hostility. But your
worh is as big as you make it. Every one
of us can expand it for himself. Even the
wisest are faced with those walls of igno-
rance, but the stones can be knocked
down. Finding out the facts, learning the
real truth can level those walls and opens
up wonderful new views. Every prejudice
discarded is whole new area of under
standing conquered. And human SYM
pathy is the greatest conqueror OF all.
1t was Tom Paine who wrote, Il am
citizen of the world" Uniquely among the
nations of the earth, Americas citzenry
is made up from all the peoples of the
earth. So that it comes more naturally to
Americans than to people of smaller and
less diversified nations, to be world citi-
zens as we'll as good Americans. In fact,
it is beginning to seem doubtful to some
of us whether it is possible to be good
American and yet refuse ones share of
responsibility in still larger society.
The more you learn and the more you
are willing to understand, the wider grows
your personal world. Wondering, studying,
talking, listening, asking, men and women
today are pushing back the borders of
every little town in the land. Great ideas,
new hopes and shining purpose are walk
ing down Main Street these days. Our tall
cities peep over widening horizons. Even
on lonely farms the air is stirred by news
coming from the other side of the earth.
Everywhere America is opening its
eyes, its ears, its mind. So push back the
limits of the world you live in, until it's
as big as this whole planet spinning hope
fully between the stars!

Peace is not going to

will end only the fighting. And global war
means not simply that men are fighting in
strange places all over the globe, but that
everybody on it is in some way or other
involved in the struggle. That is happen
ing for the first time in the old earth's his
tory. So that victory, just as Hitler and
Hirohito dreamed, means world mastery.
To them, that implies the slavery of other
people. To the United Nations - world
mastery means conquest by the principles
of liberty and justice for all.
Now, as the President has said, we are
fighting for the unconditional surrender
of our enemies That is the first aim OF all
of us, but it will not mean the last of our
troubles. Even when we have won the war,
the world will still contain some &C, 100000
Germans, 100000 japanese, and A.
100000 Italians, to say nothing of the
minor adherents of the Axis, or the peo-
