the labor situation within the COM
munity served by the local board;
they are acquainted with industrial
executives, civic organization lead
ers, labor leaders, county agents and
others who will be in a position to
assist in the Unemployment pro-
gram.
The program as now set up oper-
ates substantially as follows:
Upon his discharge the veteran is
instructed to contact his local board
within 10 days. Obviously, if he is
certain he can return to work at his
old job, no further assistance will
be necessary. However, he must re-
port to the local board, taking along
with him his army papers Cor Navy,
Marine or Coast Guard, as the case
may be) including the discharge GER
tificate SO his new status can be
recorded by the board.
If there is some reason why his
reinstatement in his former posi-
ton may present difficulties, his To-
cal board and its unemployment COM
mitteemen are prepared to assist
him.
After the veteran discusses his
problem with the Unemployment COM
mitteeman, the latter will make ev-
cry effort to obtain the veterans
reinstatement. He may contact the
employer to explain to him provi-
sions of the law requiring the vet
Grams reinstatement, or he may con-
tact any number of civic, local or
labor agencies that will be in a posi-
ton to help.
1t is anticipated that in a majority
of cases only minor difficulties will
be experienced. But it is recognized
that some differences of opinion,
some disputes, are bound to arise in
cases where employers circum-
stances have changed, or where there
is an honest question whether the
veteran is now qualified to perform
the job he formerly held.
In all of these eventualitieS, the
local boards and the Unemployment
committeeman will attempt to work
out solution agreeable to both par
ties.
Law on Veterans Side.
If all avenues of approach have
been exhausted without success, and
it still appears the veteran should be
reinstated under provisions of the
law, further measures will be taken.
The veterans case then will be TAX
en- by the local board to the State
Director of Selective Service, who
may forward it on to National Head
quarters to be turned over to the
Department of Justice.
Or, if the veteran desires, he may
employ his own attorney and file
suit in the United States District
Court for the district in. which the
employer maintains his business.

Commentators and newspaper
writer's get "a lot of free meals. Or
at least they are offered a lot -
from people and organizations who
want something So when was in
vited to attend a luncheon given by
the Nonpartisan Association for
Franchise Education, Inc, won
dered. When 1 learned that Henry
]. Kaiser, shipbuilder and entire
preneur would be there, I was more
interested.
I arrived late, as I must at all
luncheons, since I don't get off the
air until Ills. slipped quietly into
the one vacant chair, for a stocky,
bald-headed man in glasses was
making some highly emphatic re-
marks accompanied by gestures
which 60 with what you visualize as
the big business get things =
done executive.
He was talking about the necessity
of full employment" after the war.
BY the time the luncheon was
over was another one of the people
who once having seen this human
dynamo of mass production in
action are almost afraid to talk
about him. 1t requires just too many
superlatives.
Henry Kaiser has lent his name to
this franchise organization which I
mentioned because he believes that
the only hope for democracy is a
job for everybody, and he believes
that there is plenty of chance of
job for everybody if the everybody
realizes the fact and then gets out
and expresses his sentiments with
ballots.
Getting out the vote is the pur-
pose of the Nonpartisan Associ-
alton for Franchise Education, Inc,
a non-profit, non-political corpora
ton with headquarters at 16 East
Sind street, New York City,
Because President Roosevelt when
he was making his campaign speech
to the Teamsters last month men,
toned that Henry Kaiser was pres
ent, I thought Kaiser was coming
out for the Democratic ticket. But
he is not. He was invited by the
teamsters to the dinner with whom
he has far more contacts than with
the New DeaD. He has no parti-
san purpose in backing Franchise
Education, Inc. Many persons of
both parties are behind it simply
because they believe in getting out
the vote.
And any thinking person realizes
the need for such an organization
when he considers the facts. You
can't have democracy if people don't
exercise the franchise and that is
exactly what lot of the people of
the United States do NOT do The
smaller the vote, the nearer dicta-
torship.

Kaiser Mentions
Production Needs

Two essentials which he named
Immediately we're: first, competition
(that is, removal of monopoly. Sec
ond, "credit." ("And," his son, who
is one of Kaiser's expert associates,
piped up from the end of the table,
"guts.~
Mr.. Kaiser told a number of off
the-record stories of how monopo-
lies had fought him, tried to keep
him out of one business after an
other merely because they had
monopolies and didn't want to face
competition with a man who had
learned how to make money by pay
ing high wages, producing efficient
ly and selling at low costs.
AS to credit, the stories he told
would curl your hair. But Kaiser
didn't blame the banks or the in
vestment trusts for refusing to lend
capital to pioneers. But he did offer
way out. He suggested an inter-
mediate credit institution. An Or
ganization which would lend money
on new ventures, giving them, say
a three-year chance; if these VEN
lures showed a good record then
they would be normal investment for
banks.
If private capital wouldn't go
into intermediate financing, let the
government do it under the same
system as the Federal reserve sys-
tenn, says Mr.. Kaiser.
But in the end the whole program
comes back to jobs. A survey of his
own workers showed that over 80
per cent of them had saved money
for investment and also showed that
the thing they wanted to invest in
first was-what? An automobile?
That's what he expected. But, no,
the answer was-a home. But there
was a condition: some assurance of
security-of job.
I suppose Kaiser has built nearly
two-score successful businesses Che

hours they had been built before)
and yet real distress came over his
face when he began to talk about
the tremendous possibilities for in
dustry in other lines as yet I'M
touched.
"Think of it," he said, pounding
the table, "58 per cent of the freight
cars in this country are Is years
old. We could ship them all to China
and build new ones. China would be
glad to pay us in raw materials we
need"
Some one asked him about sur

him back to ships.
Turn those we don't need-I'n
buy some over to the countries
that have lost all their shipping in

Finally, he had to hurry away to
an appointment. He shook our hands
and begged each of us to help get
out the vote this year.

he said, and then added with a
smile-"of course IL have to wake
