Soldiers Post War Needs Told

Chicago, Sept. 20 AP-An edu-
Gator and a ton ranking Industrial
ist told the American Legion today
that the men now in the armed
forces should be given every con
sideration in the nations post war
plans.
The educator, F L. Schlagle,
president of the National Educa-
ton Association, asserted they
should have part. in deciding
whether compulsory military
training law should be enacted.
Robert NJ. Gaylord, president OF
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, declared that industry's
No. / job was TO help the return
ing servicemen become just as
productive as possible" TO find a
spot for new skills, and TO help
the able and disabled regain old
ones.
Schlagle set forth, in an address
prepared for the closing session
OF the organizations goth annual
convention, that the educational
policies commission was not OPP
posed to such an undertaking but
added
I'VE feel that a decision in this
matter is not an immediate neces-
sity, since we now have such com
pulsory training imposed upon US
and in operation as a result Of enc
my action
The convention, meanwhile, pre-
pared to take stand on demands
for a statute providing for a year
of Army or Navy training for
American youths. and to define
its position on such subjects as ma
tional defense. foreign relations,
veterans rehabilitation. and post
war planning for the home front.
Gaylord, in his prepared speech,
declared that III business manage
ment fails this opportunity, Ito
help the returning servicemenD
then government will grasp II and
the creeping collectivism already
planted in our land will no longer
creep. 1t will stand erect and
walk.
