II the labor vote is going to
cut any ice at all in this coming
election, one of the important
factors may be the shifts of peo-
pie who have gone from one
state to another to take war jobs

estimates that the total-num-

of more than 100000 over 1910
came to the statistical conclusion
that il would be impossible to
measure the effect of migration
on this years vote, for three rea-
sons:
First, because part of this mi
grafton has been within the
states and not across state lines;
second, because many of the
moves were too late to permit
re-registration at new addresses;
third, because many of the mi

mail in the states and precincts
of their 1910 residence.
In estimating the potential
number of voters at $4,000, 900

Some Suggested Steps
Our Government and our people
should not become hipped on the
idea that we should become the
outstanding leaders in world at.
fairs. Destiny has called us TO
play a decisive part in World War
ii. but we should not consider it
as a permanent job. Washington
has had a lot Of New Deal exper-
fence with out-and-out relief; but
Washington knows nothing about
the investment Of capital. Such
foreign investments should now be
resisted as we would resist the
plague.
1t further is entirely possible
that after 1949 we may have some
years Of severe depression which
will require all OF our resources
to overcome. AS Congress is now
fast draining our own industries of
working capital, they will soon re.
quire all of our accumulated saw
ings. U. s. unemployment and the
fulfillment of civilian requirements
will also require vast amounts OF
money. Hence, trust that a lit
tie Yankee common sense may pre-.
vail and that we may not entirely
expend our HERITAGE! One thing
more: Example is much more Do
tent than precept. In the long run
we can do the world the most good
by putting our own accounts in
order. This will not be a selfish
thing for us to do, but 1t will be
for the good OF the entire world
to see one nation run honestly, in
telligently and efficiently with JUS
tice for all and favoritism to none.

does today. Furthermore as the
U. S. will perhaps be the only AL
lied Nation untouched by the ply
steal damage and misery of the
War, we will rightly be expected
to bear the major part Of the over
seas postwar repair bill.
The first stage OF relief will be
feeding and sheltering of the
homeless and starving people OF
Continental Europe. Both present
friends and foes may be included
In this group. This, however, Is
quite different from making cap
ital investments abroad. Perhaps
some years after the War. when
the necessities of rebuilding the
entire worlds economic structure
become more clearly defined, U. S.
investors may have a part to play.
However, in the immediate post
war period our help should consti-
tute outright gifts or sales of ma.
terials at cost. The investment of
capital should for the present be
avoided.
