Non-POlitical Subjects

Not that tl..sle was anything
political about these first hal1-
dozen speeches Mr.. McNutt got OH
his chest. Taken together, they
constitute a rather complete re-
port on what the War ManpoWer
Commission and related agencies
have done in the last two years
and what they are going TO try
tc do in the next six months.
Among past accomplishments is
the closing of 662 red light dis
tricts in cities near camps or IN
war production centers. Among
future goals are the training ana
placement of every veteran IN a
useful job and the recruiting OF
the necessary labor force TO meet
every war production program
with or without national service
law.
At French Lick, Ind, speaking
before the National Fruit and Vege-
table Growers Association, the
governor came right out and told
'em to work out labor plan for
their own industry, for mo law
will ever enable any industry to
hold workers and utilize them well
if its management methods do not
make sense Do not sit back
and think a law will solve your
problems for you. A law can only
help those who help themselves. y
It was all good straight talk aim
ed at every other industry which
thinks that national service leg
islation will automatically end all
manpower problems because 1t
would enable the government to
move people around where it want
| ed them.

At Louisville, KY, few nights
later, Governor McNutt had oppor-
tunity to praise the city for having
done a good job in meeting It's
labor requirements problems
through community organization.
Speaking before the Executives
Club in Chicago a week later, ne
lambasted that city for having
fallen down on the same job.
Before the Conference of Mayors
meeting in Chicago, McNutt had an
opportunity to spell out what local
communities could do-and what
some have not done-in the 600
camp areas and 1900 war produc-
tion centers to provide decent
housing, recreation facilities, check
juvenile delinquency and venereal
disease. And, as a parting shot,
he suggested that when the war
was over. instead of erecting mon
uments as war memorials, the Cit
les consider the erection OF men,
orial schools, hospitals, community
centers.
At Detroit, before the Victory
Council, McNutt outlined plans OF
the agencies which he heads. FOL
the next six Notwithstanding the
labor force to its peak, cutting dowr
on unemployment through cut
backs, orderly transfer CT workers
from plants with cancelled con-
tracts to those with untitled orders
Again referring to proposed nat
ional service laws, McNutt declared
that the present need for sucf
legislation 'is based largely upor
the fact that many communitie
have not organized themselves tt
solve their own manpower prob

Foreseeing postwar need To-
local experience in industria
craftsmanship, he declared tina
