For example, a quail flied veteran tthat is, one honor ably dischargeO will be able to get government guarantee loan up to S2,000 for either buying or building a home, providing that is 50 per cent of the total loan, and that the lending agency ibank, mortgage company, or even per- sonal lender) is satisfied with the 50 per cent collateral.
 This means that a veteran can

borrow up to $4,00O with a gov ernment guarantee for $2,000 of it, and no interest for the first year, provided he can convince any lending agency that his secur- ity, credit or general experience is good for at least half that amount.
 This augurs a lot of building and repairing, and has given the building industry and trades rea- son for much of their optimism about postwar prospects.
 Virtually the same limits apply to veterans who will want to start their own businesses. The key will be whether they can con- vince lending agencies or personal creditors and the government that they have a fair chance of suc- ceeding.
 What few polls have been ta- ken of men in the service about their postwar plans indicate that private enterprise and small bus inesses are in for a big upswing. The boys. have had enough of be- ing bossed and want to go on their own as soon as they get back into multi.

 The provisions for education and vocational training should make it possible for any earnest young man either to pick up where he left off or launch into new fields. In many instances these fields will be those to which his military training has intro duced him.

WENDELL WILLKIE

The sudden death of Wendell Willkie leaves
void in the realm of public life which cannot easily
be filled His meteoric political rise captured the
imagination of the of the people the large
vote cast for him in the 1910 election testified Since
that time he had continued to influence public opn-
ion and his statements policy eagerly awaited
by the many who looked upon him as true leader
despite his remuneration by the Republican Party.
Negroes have lost real friend in Mr.. Willkie
He who did not mnce words and his
statements against prejudice were unequivocal
Like many other Americans, Negroes looked with
wonder at the spectacle of the Republican bosses dis
carding the one man in their party who had repre-
sented liberalism to the American people. In his
beliefs Mr.. Willkie was much closer to the liberalism
Of Franklin Roosevelt than to the conservatism of
Thomas Dewey and the Republican Party. The
doubts that beset Mr.. Wlkie on his own party and
on Mr. Dewey in particular, resulted in his failure
to endorse Dewey for the presidency His position
since the conventions has been difficult one and
one which he met with dignity. The artificial bonds
Of party loyalty prevented him from coming out
openly for Mr. Roosevelt
