My personal opinion is that
it failed TO stop these repudia-

If we had been in the League
I suspect our leadership would
have been as evasive and APP

their people and ours at that

Whether new formula will
escape this gravast defect OF

INDUSTRIAL leaders of the coun-
l. try, who will have the major re
sponsibility for unemployment of
millions of returning veterans after
the war; are seriously concerned
about one phase of the problem that
has had little public discussion.
It is a phase that has grave sig
nifcance for several million veterans.
AS the American people well
know, legislation approved by Con
gress at the time inductions into the
armed forces under the Selective
Service Act were begun, made pro
\, visions for the return of such men to
their previous employment without
loss of seniority or other rights.
The purpose of this legislation
was to make it possible for the vet
eran to return to the job he had be-
fore the warm other words, to pick
up his civilian life where he left off.
That is well enough for the vet
eran who HAD job before the war
But the fact that is disturbing in
dustrial leaders is that millions of
young men have entered the armed
forces without previous civilian en-
ployment.
OBVIOUSLY, unless some formula
" is worked out, these younger vet
Grams are going to re-enter civilian
life at a distinct disadvantage-in
relation to other veterans and other
workers who have stayed in civilian
employment throughout the war.
Seeking a FIRST job after the
war will be vastly different propo
sition from returning to an old job
with all rights intact
Industrial leaders are wondering
if these younger veterans are to be
the forgotten" men of the postwar
period.
They are sure the nation does not
want such a situation to develop.
They are very sure it would not
be FAIR situation.
The problem has been made in
creasingly serious by the length of
the war
Since most of the younger vet
Grams not previously employed went
directly into the armed forces from

WASHINGTON. Oct. 13-Con-
w tinuing a noncritical

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-Con-
w tinuing a noncritlcal
analysis of the Dumbarton Oaks
program for postwar.
Nothing in the text designates
Washington as the headquar-
tiers for the new League OF
Nations after this war. but the
program will start what eventu-
ally will be a very large world
administration which must be
convenient TO the centers Of all
phases of world activity.
There is to be a military
staff committee, made up of the
chiefs of staff of the United
Nations, permanently advising
the security council as TO how
TO meet aggressors.
In effect, this international
military staff would conduct the
future wars, or blockades or
military actions against non
cooperative powers. 1t would
be a permanent international
war department.
Disarmament. diplomatic, eco
nomic and other committees
unquestionably would be re-
auired to maintain sufficient
permanent offices to advise the
security council about what ac-
tons should be recommended
TO the nations.
IN THESE vital matters the
L security council is TO be
virtually supreme. In peace or
war, the new league is 10 be
controlled by the major United
Nations in consultation with
few representatives of the
smaller powers on the council.
But in other matters. the Sec
ond component part in the new
peace setup is to have major
authority.
A general assembly of all the
nations leach with a single
equal vote and therefore beyond
control of the big United
nations) will make recon-
mendationS concerning eco
nomic, social and other humans
tartan problems, although it
also will have a hand IN draw
ing recommendations for dis
armament and regulation of
ornaments.
If economic and social mat
tiers, the assembly however will
be required TO work largely
through committee of l8
leach member one vote) This
committee also is 10 be
permanent, continuous body,
whereas the assembly will meet
but once a year 10 receive re-
ports from all the others. make
appropriations and devise
recommendations.
The EAS committee no doubt
will become an enlarged replica
of the League OF Nations COM
missions on labor. n Q | t h.
opium. child welfare. social con-
ditionS.
IN EVERYTHING. all these
i various committees at bot
tom can only recommend action
TO other committees, not take
any itself. At top the security
council can recommend action
TO the various nations, but has
no military or economic force of
its own.
The revolutionary character
of these proposals tnow being
rather generally approved is
not fully evident. because the
agreement is unfinished. but
these following conclusions al
ready are inescapable:
The theory upon which the
League of Nations was built is
TO be tried again, but harder
now, and under our leadership.
Whether these will be more
successful no one can say The
organizations propose will

date shall have been ashore not
more than six months before his
nomination. except in the case

But, by still another rule, If a
man ponds more than four
weeks ashore, he falls into bad
standing and thus becomes in
eligible for either office or the
vote. with the result that none
of the thousands of loyal Amer
leans can remain on the beach

Fr. Joseph d. Barry. our regi-

transcriptions and music. He re-
members hearing Schuberts Ave

IAN JOBS ana careers.
COMMITTING like equal standing
- with previously employed men
certainly should be provided for
these men.
d., But the problem is more easily
stated than solved.
One suggestion already advanced
is that veterans without previous
civilian employment experience be
granted seniority standing on the
basis of one days seniority for every
day in service.
Thus, when they obtain employ
ment after the war they would not be
the tailmen on the economic whip
lash.
Whether or not this is the spe
cific solution most desired, there is
universal agreement on the fact that
SOME solution is necessary.
That is why thoughtful and re-
sponsible industrial leaders are
thinking about it, knowing as they
do that the veterans affected by it
are WORRIED about it.

WAR LOAN DRIVE
STARTS IN BUTTE

Civilian defense block leaders, 1900
strong in Silver Bow county, this week
opened a house-to-house anvas Of the
entire community, urging purchases Of
extra wal bonds during the Sixth Wal
Loan campaign for $685., 800.
AS the civilian defense groups plans
went ahead, banking officials announced
Tuesday that investors had purchased
$2O,1OO worth Of E, F, G and other war
bonds during the second day Of the cam
paign, bringing to $44, 451.25 the coun-
tvs total so far.
D. j.. McGonigle, director Of the block
leaders group, said war bond literature
and other promotion material were be-
ing prepared in individual kits and were
being mailed out to the blockleaders by
the A. W. V. S. this week. The kits are
expected to be received before Friday
when the b%lockleaders are scheduled to
open their canvass.
The b~lockleaders during this drive will
not solicit war bond pledges and will not
sell bonds. Their work during the Sixth
War Loan will be concentrated upon
telling the story Of the wal bonds, en-
phasizing the urgent need for fighting
dollars in the war effort and promoting
purchases of extra bonds by residents
through pay roll savings, or investments
at the banks or in the stores.
