On the other hand, if reconver- sion is too slow, this country might easily find itself back in the depths of the same depression that began in 1929 and ended only because of the artificial stimulation created by war production.
 A little money, spent, multiplies itself many times in passing from hand to hand. It creates employ ment, earning power, spending ability everywhere it goes, in ben- eficent spiral.
 SAVINGS ESSENTIAL
 If reconversion can start produc- ing consumer goods while the mass of Americans still have their war savings will go to workers who in turn will spend them to make jobs for other workers almost ad infin- itum.
 On such working and spending the prosperity that disappeared 15 years ago can be recreated, bigger, better and healthier than before. But if reconvsrsion is delayed so long that war savings must be spent for eking out an existence, while unemployed workers wait for new jobs in civilian production, there will be none of the savings left to pay for automobiles, wash ing machines, oil burners, new homes. In that event, this sound, natural type of economic pump priming can't take place.
 Everybody has 8 vast stake in prompt, intelligent reconversion the moment Hitler's collapse per- mits. Business has such a stake, because no profits can be earned until goods are produced to be sold. Labor has such stake, be- cause no wages can be earned un- til ojbs are available. Govern ment has such a stake. because a discontented electorate usually throws the rascals out"

INVASION ENDS
 AID TO CAPTIvES IN PHILIPPINES
BY FRANCES HARTIGAN iIInitad Press Staff CnrreSnAndeni

bI ENANCES hAkGI1NTAN United Press Staff Correspondent
 Los Angeles, Nov. 21-(UP) = Many American prisoners of war will be freed by operations now talk ing place in the Philippines, pre- diets Dr. Darius A. Davis, associate general secretary of the Worlds Committee of the YMCA, in charge of war prisoners aid.
 Some of the remaining prison- CTS of war will be moved to other camps, perhaps in Hong Kong, For moSa or Japan," the penologist added.
 Now that the Philippines is a bat- tie area, precluding further prisoner aid, the YMCA will shift its opera tions to relieving 100000 United Ma tions men held in other Japanese camps, and thousands more in Eu- rope, he said.
 2 Committees of NeutraIs
 The supply line from the YMCA to Japanese-held prisoners oper- ates through two committees, one in Tokyo and the other in the Philip pines.
 Composed of Swedish and Swiss neutralS, the committees study the needs of the men in prison camps and then purchase the material wanted in that area, if possible, , Davis said. Tn addition to what can be purchased locally, the Grips holm made two trips carrying a total of 225 cases of equipment, of which 105 cases were delivered to the Philippines and the balance to Japan"
 A typical unit of supply, accom- modating 200 men, consists of 1050 books, including $50 fiction, 15O textbooks, and the balance on vo- cational and craft subjects. There are baseball and football equipment, a photograph with 150 records, school room supplies so that classes may be held, and stage equipment.
 Prior to United States entry in the war, Dr. Davis visited German prison camps, privilege now re- stricted to neutrals.
 Jews Fare The Same
 "American-Jewish prisoners are treated identically with other Am ericans.. The Germans allow us to send Jewish religious books and hold Jewish religious services"
 A new arrival at camp is stripped of all personal possessions which could act as links with his pre- confinement past. Hence the first parcel he gets addressed to him by name is appreciated more than anything else, because it treasures him he oisn't forgotten. This is the American wartime log, 150- page blank book, in which man may write the story of his stay in prison, use for watercolor sketches or for photographs.
 "The men make model airplanes and boats, the latter which they run in the camp pond" Davis said. They have learned to use marga- rine for non-existent fuel.
 "All kinds of courses are offered. and a system has been established whereby regular credits may be earned. This is most important since there is nothing worse in a prison camp that the possibility ot boredom"

 As Americans and British and Russians, from all sides, invade the sacred soil" of the Reich, there is an almost hectic surge of in- terest, here at home, in the post war problems that we have ne- glected SO long.
 The war worker wonders what will happen to him. He reads that, as soon as Germany capitu- lates, production of armament and munitions is going to be cut back at least 40 per cent. That means, according to the best es- inmates, that between $30,0OO O00 and $40,000,000 of war contracts will be cancelled, and work on them will stop. It means, says acting Chairman J. A. Krug of the WIPE, that around four mill lion men and women will be thrown out of work.
 The consumer, with more ready money than he or she ever be- fore possessed, wants some of the conveniences and luxuries tl:at haven't been buyable of late. He wants 8 new automobile, or at least some new tires and a lot of gasoline for the old jalopy. He wants new radio, an electric re- frigerator, a toaster, a washing machine. There are repairs to be made to the house, electricity to be put into the summer shack, an oil burner for the furnace.
 NEED QUICK SOLUTION
 What is anybody doing to ar- range so that the four million workers who won't be needed on war production can begin to make the consumer goods that 135 millions want and, in some in- stances, really need?
 The problem is pressing. Its quick solution means a lot more than whether four million war
