They think that he's used

They think that IL il came 10

Things / Didn't
Know About China:


THAT China declared war on
L Japan the day after Pearl
Harbor-although they had been
. fighting since July z. 1887.
That Japan has not yet de-
Iclared war on China, preferring
to consider the fighting there
as the China Incident"
This Incident" has already
cost Japan more than 10 times
the amount she spent on the
Russo-Japanese war and five
times as many men.
Every Chinese town of more
than 10000 population has been
bombed at least once in the
seven years the war has been
going on.
Chungking. "the most bombed
city in the world" has 1903
air raid shelters capable OF ac-
commodating 426.599 persons.

7 THINK Mr.. Rows advice is
L pretty sound.
He's not much Of a hand at
passing out unasked advice, but
he did mention just one thing
that's worth writing down to
remember.
1--WE got q rule that I've fol-
lowed for q long time" Mr.. Row
said, land IL works for me.
whenever anything has to
be done, I ask myself four
questions:
what Is II?
'Who's going to do IL.
"And when:
"AND-did he do It,"
Like all rules of life, it's a
simple thing. The Ten COM
mandments are simple. and so
is sign that says. thin ice" or
keep off the grass"
The trouble is, nobody ever
wants to follow these simple
rules. Maybe that's what's the
matter with me.
But Dave Henard seems to
have good sense and I wouldn't
be surprised if he followed Mr..
Rowe's precepts and made quite
a success of himself in later life.
1 hope so, just as / hope that
all these young kids in the army
will find that losing a couple
of years out of their lives isn't
an incurable tragedy.

1T WANT TO talk about one of the war
L jobs that we have to do and are 60
ing to have before us for many, many
months. am speaking of the question
of the unemployment of servicemen in
our organization. The only thing want
to do this evening is to outline to you the
broad aspects of the policy that I think
you should follow. That policy divides
itself very simply under three headings.
In the first place, there is the attitude
we should have towards these returning
men and women. | am going to try to
characterize that attitude and ! know |
shall not do it adequately, but am go
to say that the first characteristic of
that attitude should be that we natu-
rally want to welcome those veterans
back. We will be glad to have them back
We appreciate what they are doing for us
in their service, and the first thing for
us to express to them, in the deepest
sincerity, is the fact that they are well
come back.
The second characteristic of our atti-
tude should be naturalness. Our attitude
should not be one of curiosity. 1t GER
tainly should not be sentimental.
After all, what those men want and
what they certainly are entitled to is
that we help them to become again self
supporting civilians. That must be our
goal-to help them become civilians and
self-supporting.
you men know as well as l do the
difficulty of the transition from civilian
to army life, and you know that it is
almost as difficult to become civilian
again after you have been in military
service for long time Just that job it
self is difficult enough.
The thing we have to try to help
them do is to become self-supporting
They do not want charity, God knows
They do not deserve so little They de-
serve our help to become sef-support-
ing again.

ing. He went to school, became an off,
Ger. He did well. Let us say he was under
fire and distinguished himself in action.
He comes back to you a captain, a
major, even ieutenant-colonel. Now,
what are you going to do with that man?
There is part of your problem That is
part of what you have to think about,
what we all have to think about
Now let us take reverse case. Here
is man who perhaps was young fac
tory foreman, or an Office manager, in
telligent and fine fellow. He was un-
fortunate in the service He did not clicks
He had discouraging time. Maybe he :
had experiences he could not quite adapt
himself to, could not quite get up to. He
comes back to you not as good man as
he was when he left you That is possible.
What are you going TO do with him?
Those are two kinds of cases. There
will be an infinite variety and / think,
gentlemen, one thing this problem is 60
ing to require is that you give these men
your personal attention. You cannot put
these men through some kind of wringer
or machine. You are going to have to
see that these veterans are treated as
they deserve to be.
"TTNHE third point is that, when you
l. have gone through the process of
inquiry, you have the question of where
you are going to put that man. Does he
need training? Has he been injured?
You will have to have some rehabilita-
ton training and there are a lot of prob
lens involved which am not going into
this evening because all that will be
taken up with you in detail later
THE thing | do want to leave with
you is the fact that those men were and
are Harvester men. They are Americans
who served their country. They fought
for us, they served for us and they de-
serve the best that we have got. ! know
you will give it to them"
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-05-07

SO, to sum up, the first point in re-
gard to returning servicemen is the
matter of our attitude Let us make it
human. Let us make it healthy. Let us
make it natural. Let lis not have any
sentimentality. Let us make it realistic
and natural and warm
"H1HE second point, think, is that
l. when this man comes back we
must sit down and talk with him. First
we must study his previous record with
us, What did he do before he went away?
What position was he in? What kind of
fellow was he? That is the first thing
think we should know.
The second thing think we should
know, and this is more difficult to get,
is the mans record and his experiences
while he has been in the service We will
get fragmentary records from the serv-
ices. At recent meeting in New York
| heard that the Army was not going to
put out detailed medical information.
They may change that, but at any rate
we can get some records But more diff
cult yet b to find out what happened in
side that man, through his experiences.
And the next thing we should de-
termine is what does this man want to
do? What kind of work will he fit into
best? What would make him the hap
piest?
Il just want to cite you couple of
examples to illustrate the difficulty of
the task before U.s. will take couple
of extreme cases. You are going to have
some men who, at your factories or
branches, were performing some rather
unskilled tasks. Maybe the man was
young warehouse man. Maybe he was
in the repair department. Possibly he
worked in the service station. He got
into the Army or he got into the Navy.
He got good training He was under
good commander and something within
him clicked and he went ahead. He was
promoted. He went into further train
