TIE is SO small and helpless So de-
i i pendent on you for his life and
well-being And yet you are able to look
at him and say
"Someday he may be President"
Put it down as foolish sentiment. Put
it down as parental pride. But where else
in the world could you envision for your
child the possibility of his attaining, one
day, the highest office in the land?
Maybe your child won't make it. But
one child, very much like him, will. One
child out Of the three million babies born
this year-or the next-or the year after.
Whether or not he attains this high
position is not SO important. What mat
tiers is that here, in America, he is born

A President is Born

with that opportunity. He is born in the
stubborn tradition of free men-men who
felt that in government, the wisdom of
the many is preferable to the ambition of
the few He is born in tradition of self
reliance-where he may succeed or fail,
win or lose, rise or fall, according to his
own efforts.
Because of that, you will train him to
think for himself, to fight his own battles,
to make his own way.
You will teach him that responsibility
is inseparable from freedom. And that if
he joins with other men in an enterprise
he should demand the same responsibility
and freedom for his business that marks
his birthright as an individual.

Someday he may hear, as you have
heard, voices that say, Surrender your
opportunity for the certainty that you
shall always have bread" "-as if man lived
by bread alone. AS if the country were
better served by limiting all to mediocrity
instead of assuring to all, under law, an
equal chance to rise by their own efforts,
conscious Of their obligations to others.
What that son of yours learns at your
l,nee will decide whether or not he will
ever have to bend his knee before dicta-
ton and tyranny.
And because of what you teach him, he
too may one day look with that same fool
ish pride on his own son to say, Some
day he may be President"

Postwar Pluns
For Employment
Urged By Official
Jobs Needed For MdnY More
Thun Were Employed
Before The Wur

Cleveland, Ohio.-Pointing out that
there are at present about 62 or 63
million people in the armed forces or
IN the labor force, A f. Hinrichs, Act
ing Commissioner of Labor Statistics,
z. S. Department of Labor, told dele
gates to the National Conference of
Social Work in Cleveland that after
the war we will need jobs for 8 or 8
million more workers than were EN-
ployed before the war, and that there
is no assurance that this expansion in
employment opportunities will occur
He urged that plans be formulated
now "to make sure that our economy
does operate at high levels of employ
ment and of national income in the
immediate postwar period.
when we really begin to convert to
peace-time production on an about
basis, however, we shall have a hard
problem on our hands At present there
are about 62 or 63 million people either
i'm the armed forces or in the labor
force. This is about 6 million more
than the number who would normally
be available for work. 1t is not at ali
unreasonable to assume that 5 million
of them will voluntarily withdraw
from the labor fOrce-some retiring,
some going back to home making, and
young persons resuming normal school
leaving ages. Thus it is not necessary
at this time to visualize work for a
lnhnp nf go IN MIL
lion, but rather--with proper allow
ance for population growth-for one
of 80 or 80 million.
I'VE may assume that some 2 mil
lion people will be needed in the armed
forces for some time. There will also
jobs. If no more than 2 or 3 million
are looking for work at any one time,
almost all of them should be able to
find work in IL comparatively brief
time. Thus when we talk about need
for full employment, we are talking
about the need for regular jobs in pri-
vate industry, in essential government
services, and in various forms of self
for 53 to 50 million people.
This means that we need or 8
million more jobs than were available
before the war For the most part, the
expansion must occur in manufactur-
ing, in construction, i'm trade, and in
various private and public services.
We do know that the American people
could use to advantage all the goods
and SprvicQS that coIlld no proatad NV

at their annual convention, hailed the
great opportunity confront in & the

perity and indorSed a series Of reso-
lutionS aimed to see that World War

Delegates from 40 union labor posts

Labor, Kermit Eby of the CIO educa-
tion department and Martin Miller of
the brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
extol the National Conference of Union
Labor Legionnaires for fighting anti
labor tendencies within the American
Legion.
Looking to the future, President
Henry A. Vencill called for reenploy-
ment and rehabilitation Offices at every
discharge center for World War III
vets, under the guidance Of local labor
bodies. Central labor bodies, Vencill
urged should be given authority to
supervise such offices because labor

The conference indorsed the legion's
CT bill without the Rankin amend
ments, asked unions to follow the lead
in waiving initiation fees
for vets and voted unanimously To re-
ject the Wadsworth labor con
scription bill. Delegates backed the
legion's stand for universal service and
declared themselves ready to support IA
bill conscripting both capital and labor.

ON THE CAPITALS CUFF
BY TRAVIS X. HEDRICK

Washington (Fp). = Sewell Avery
and Montgomery Ward will find little
cheer in the forthcoming report of the
special House committee investigating
the seizure of the Chicago mail order
house.
With the investigation completed, it
looked as though the group headed by
Representative Robert Ramspeck Cd,
Ga.) would find many faults with the
opinionated, gingery Avery and de-
liver a majority report by TO )
vote, with a possibility of it being 4
to with third "straddle-the-issue'
minority report from one of the
Republicans.
The Senate committee investigating
the seizure delivered its report with
out hearing single witness. And it
bitterly condemned the actions of the
President, the attorney general and
everybody concerned including the
WLB and NLRB.
That will not be the case with the
Ramspeck report, which will deal
something more severe than pat on
the back TO the anti-labor chairman
of Montgomery Ward.
Unfortunately, Vice President Henry
A. Wallace chose white (czarist)

fore leaving for the Soviet Union and

Just before he left Washington.
Wallace and his wife filled a kit for
Russian War Relief Armed with his
new tongue Wallace wrote out brief
note of greeting in Russian and affixed
it to the box.
When the kit got to Russian War
Relief headquarters here, the message

attache. She found that due to mis-
taken choice of words Wallace had
signed the package as from Lord and
Lady Henry A. Wallace
The error was quickly corrected.

ON BEING
WELL BRED
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Conventions are the hall marks OF
civilized living. They are the traffic
rules which man has adopted for the
better conduct of his life Their OBJ
servance is the card proving his right
to membership in a civilized society.
There is no law against pushing
your neighbor aside in the the street,
but If you do so, you prove yourself
Il bOOr. There is no law against eating
peas with IA knife-but if you do, you
mark yourself illbred and unused to
the amenities of civilized society.
There is no law against discOurtesy-
but it just isn't practised by the kind
of people you want to know.
Conventions are designed for the
protection of all The common usages
of society are ingrained in children
from their earliest contacts with those
around them. We do not condemn a
child himself for his bad manners, but
we do comment caustically upon his
home envronment.
To those conventions with which we
are all conversant, should now be add
ed a new one. \ person who condemns
another not as an individual but be-
cause of the groups from which he
comes, should be considered as guilty
of bad breeding as he who transgress-
eS any of the other more material con
ventionS. 1t just isn't American, and
il just isn't done by ladies and gentle
men in America We should hold ii as
important to be kind as to be cour-
teous, TO speak fairly as well as truth
fully, To respect our neighbors' beliefs
as we respect his possessions. Anti
Semitism and Anti-Catholicism must
go!
We are now entering on one of the
most trying years of our material life
IA year in which the crescendO Of war
will mean greater stress upon our own
tempers, greater strains upon our
mental balance as the casualty lists
roll in, in addition to the bitter fight
of national election.
Let us resolve to conduct ourselves
as well-bred people during this trying
time. Let us be good American ladies'
and gentlemen first and set seal upon
our lips. Arguing as hotly rs we will,
let us observe the canons of fair play
and decent speech and not indulge i'm
generalized charges against anyone,
not In mass condemnation of any orOlID
