proved experience in the handling of
Ueteran affairs. We speak the Ian
guage of the Ueteran. We know the
facts about disqualification, pensions,
compensation, dependents benefits,

V. F. w. is ready and r0illing to meet
the challenge of this great opportu-

This activated program, it seems
to us, could be studied with profit by
those at Washington immersed in
"rehabilitoting" Europe.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars
see clearly that rehabilitation"
should begin at home and for our

WHEN the war is over the people
w and the government will find
these tremendous problems of re-
Mobilization confronting them.
Jobs, industrial recovery, civil
rehabilitation, taxes, disturbed
economic structure, the reimbursement
to a constitutional basis of the rela.
tions of the executive and legislative
branches Of the government, the sta
bilization of prices, the better care
of ex- servicemen, the revival Of le-
gitimate competition and a thousand
other matters, big and little.
That is task enough for any first
class government like the United
States without going to Europe and
Asia with billions in its pockets to
"rehabiiitate" peoples who are not
related to us IN any way.
Once again It's private enter
prises and organizations, like the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars, that point
the way to the path of national duty.
That duty is rehabilitation" of
our own.
And as soon as the administration
formulates a domestic rehabilitation
policy, the sooner the people of the
u S. A, civilians and veterans, will
be provided with vision, without
which the people perish.
