A Thought for Today
More Promise Than Hope

A bill to stimulate discussion" of full postwar employment has been introduced in the Senate by Military Affairs sub committee headed by Senator Murray of Montana. Its tentative, diffident pre- Gentation suggests that the authors may think the bill more likely to stimulate discussion than employment. There is nothing diffident or tentative about the measure itself, which would put the achievement of jobs for all on a book keeping and budgetary basis. It opens with laudable declaration on which there can be no argument: Every American able to work and willing to work has the right to useful and re- munerative job in the industries, or shops, or offices, or farms, or mines of the na- tion." To help realize this right the President would transmit to Congress an- nually national production and en- ployment budget" This would contain an estimate of the number of jobs needed in the year ahead, and an estimate of private investment during the same period.
 If the investment didn't promise to take care of all the needed jobs, then the President would set forth program for encouraging more investment. And if this failed to balance the books, he would include in his budget a program of fed eral investment. Essentially this bill seems to be an attempt to put on a pre- dictable basis the familiar peacetime operations of the Roosevelt administra- tion in the employment field. But it doesn't look like any guarantee of MT. RooSevelt's campaign promise of 60,000,- 900 peacetime jobs. It seems logical that the first step in our postwar employ ment program should be creation of an economic atmosphere in which an unpre- cedented 60,000,00 jobs can exist. To do this it will be necessary to modify some of our present and necessary taxes and restrictions so that new capital, ventured in the creation of new jobs, may have a reasonable expectation of profit and ex- panSion.
 But the new bill proposes to encourage private investment only after an unSuc- ceSSful attempt has been made to strike a balance between capital and jobs. And that is bound to involve some difficult and unpopular bookkeeping. For if lump investment is to be translated ac- curately into new employment, the Bureau of the Budget will have to esti- mate not just minimum pay rates, but entire payrolls. And some new businesses might be obliged to conform to the esti- mates. Everyone is in favor of jobs for all. But when bill sets out to promise new jobs without making provision for their private creation, it is setting out to pile more billions onto our enormous na- tional debt with new era of made work. That is something the country can't afford.

second front in the summer of 1942 perhaps he could have se- cured a compromise on Poland. But he was neither able to prom ise nor produce second front until two years later, the sum- mer of 1944.
 The second front was finally
 decided at Teheran. At that time a compromise was also proposed whereby the Poles
 were to give up East Poland and be compensated with slices of East Prussia, POmerania, and upper Silesia at the ex- penSe of Germany. Roosevelt tried to keep on the side-ines regarding this part of the Teh- eran talks, and Churchill was supposed to carry the ball when 1t came to persuading the PO- fish gOvernment-in-exile to acc cept this compromise. This was recent talks in Moscow when he summoned the Polish pre- mier and put the screws on him to accept the Teheran cOmprO- mise. It was also behind his re- cent speech in Parliament when heh publicly sided with Stalin and rebuffed the Polish govern ment-in-exile.
 Also, in the background and even more important was the des- perate need of renewel Russian attacks on the Polish front to relieve pressure on the western front. We have no observers in Russia, and not even our highest military authorities know defi- nitely the why's and wherefores of the Red Army's slow-up in Poland. But it has been reported that Stalin was not ready to move until there was a public commitment regarding Poland. So Churchill tried to give it to him.
 That is the story of one of the mostt angled and difficult diplo- matic maneuvers of the whole war.

 Why men keep on going in the face of such situation as this is hard to understand. It is often true that men retire too early, and the quick cessation of activity leads to an early death. But 1t is also true that many hold on too long and attempt to oppose an impossible situation.

Despite world swing to the left, walking Toron- tonians were toldt hat henceforth they must cling to the right, and give hand signal before turning.
 We expect further clarification of the rules would have been called for. For example, in the case of a bundle-laden shopper. would an el- bow maneuver fill the bill, and would there be any redress for adjacent pedestrians if the signal- ing hand should, perchance contain an umbrella or cane? And what about rear-view mirrors on hats? On reflection, there's an idea there.
 If one glimpsed a boring acquaint- ance bearing down on him, he could always quicken his pace. But not run! An, no running was not to be done in Toronto this year, par- ticularly after StreetcarS.
 Nothing was said about any re- verse motion, which perhaps was just as well, for after five days mis- trial, Toronto officials themselves beat a signal retreat, ran for cov- CT from the laughter of their fel- low-Canadians and repealed the or- dinance.

 so YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
 A BABY?
 I address this talk to young men exclusively. Others who listen in must do 50 at their own peril.
 First I offer . bit of advice to every young man who reads this column. Do you contemplate mar riage or are you too wise to be SO tied down? All right, you're not that kind. Well, then, do you iHl- tend to raise a family, God willing, while you both are young and fit and happy2 Or is there enough ot the rat in you, after all, to make you think it would be better to wait a year or two and have some fun or get the furniture, car or house paid for or get lease with Q clause in 1t before you have . baby?
 You may. of course, get out of debt in a few years, you may even pay as you go and save a little be- sides. But don't kid yourself. That has little to do with happiness. I know. I was there. In the early days of practice more than once I had to go and hook my watch to stave of dire privation = but we were the richest people in town, for we had 8 baby. Despite the priva- tionS of our situation (and pro- bably my shocking lack of business sagacity) we were young and fit and happy AND we had our baby.
 Very well. You're a man, not a rat. You'll be happy if you have a baby, even if you haven't as fine clothes, furniture or front as many of the rats you know.
 Your first concern, then, is to have the finest baby you can. and accordingly it is up to you to learn everything there is to learn about prenatal care - study everything right along with your wife, go with her to the doctor for instruction and advice and as chosen head of the family see that prospective mother and child get the best of care from the very beginning-and this is 8 matter of intelligence, not of financial circumstance.
 To many young men take the attitude that a wife's preparation for maternity is not a proper Sub- ject for the husband to be too con. cerned about. This is the way soms hospital superintendents, head nurses and staff physicians like it. If they can keep the husband cool ing his heels in the corridor oI waiting room. that gives them com- plete freedom to perpetrate breach es of the rules of obstetric or Surgi- cal aSepsis and whatever neglect it pleases them to inflict on mother or child-I know, because I havs been there.
