'Senible Policy Demanded

'Senible Policy Demanded
To the Edtor of The Star
Governor Dewey stated in one of his
speeches that because no intelligent
policy has been advanced for the rule
of Germany after her defeat, the Ger
mans ale fighting with the desperation
of despair. This probably is at least
partly tue. The most necessary thing
at this moment. then, is to decide on
some pdicy which, while including the
elimination of the whole Hitler crowd,
will be fairly humane to the ma jority
of Germans, and propagandize Germany
to that effect.
This constant yelling of "uncondi-
tional surrender" by certain persons in
Washin,ton and elsewhere in the coun-
try is taltamount to shooting thousands
of our loys in Europe in the back.
The writer and his wife received word

in 10000 American casualties. Why
cannot Japan be blockaded? Then If
the Japnese would rather starve than
surrendr, that is their business. This
is a 1ghteous war, and President
Roosevet for the most part, has made a
fine leader, and other things being
equal, tie writer would prefer him. But
he is BEGINNING to wonder If the elec-
ton of Gov. Dewey may not result in
the saving of half-million or mill
lion American lives.

Hospital some 30 miles out Of
Philadelphia, The gallant youth OF FL
Guettar was a blind noncombatant
now. At FL, ne faced tho rest Of
his life with nothing to look
forward to but darkness and
grim uncertainty. These were the
thoughts that ran through my mind
as l shook his hand.
1t was then learned something of
the truth in my remark to the radio

Green Urges Central Labor Union to Help Army Find Jobs for G. Is

AFL President William Green this week called upon the Federation's 900 central labor unions in the nations principal cities to cooperate closely with the War Depart ment in helping demobilized servicemen to find jobs in civ- ilian life.
 In a circular letter to the labor unions, MT. Green Emphasized:>
 "The American Federation of Labor has a keen interest in help ing these servicemen to readjust to civilian life as union members" 1"
 ''The War Department in plan min gfor demobilization is setting up nineteen separation centers through which those in the service will return to civilian life, and one hundred and seventy hospital separation classification sections in various parts of the country.
 "The War Department is anxious to have these separation centers equipped with information that will aid discharged men and wom- en in reestablishing themselves in civilian life. The officers in charge of these centers need the data that will enable them to refer dis charged persons to sources of aid and information.
 Many of these discharged per sons will want information on what unions to apply to for membership and other information. They will want to know about union policies, and rules and regulations affect ing those who desire to train for special occupations.
 ''Tf1e best way to meet this re- quest of the Wsr Department is to furnish these centers with infor- nation, so that they may refer the persons who want help directly to the nearest central labor union. The central labor union, in turn, must be equipped to refer the ap- plicant to the proper union official who can answer the applicants questions"

THE HISTORY OF THE VICTORY YARD
(Continued from Page Fonrteen)

(Continned from Page Fonrteen)
 The Victory Yard came and was paid for by you and me out of our taxes. We hoped it would stay awhile, but no. The E. B. Go. has shut it's doors on the Fabricating Shop, and the few men they wished to retain were sent back to the Main Yard.
 As 1t was in the beginning, Is now, and ever shall be, the Victory Yard rose overnight, overnight il will become but a memory, though to be sure a darned expensive memory.
 The moral to this story, dear readers is this, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE WORKING MEN OF THIS COMMUNITY? When they have a Yard in their Home Town like this with its po- tentialities, why can't they organ ize and bring industry to Groton, a town that has a railroad and a natural harbor?
 O. K. fellows. We only live here and have to make our living in this community. Let's leave 1t all to the organized few, keep them in office to perpetuate a transient paradise, a summer resort industry, that lines only their own deep pock- cts, If that's the way you want It. BUT JUST WATT UNTIL THE NEXT WAR AND THEN = you finish the story, I haven't got the guts (intestinal fortitude) to go on!
