When Peace Comes

TIE Allied armies in Europe are advanc-
ing 50 rapidly against Hitlers fortress wall
from all sides that the German defeat seems
imminent Militarpexrefts all agree that
the collapse Of the enemy may come within a
few DAYS or weeks on months
When Germany is knocked out of the
war it Will be followed Immediately by a
sharp decrease in the quantity Of war ma
terals which are now being turned out in
American defense plants, and this will auto
maticaly cause millions Of. defense workers
to be thrown out Of employment
Because Of this impending situation, the
Detroit Tribune appeals to the rank and file
Of defense workers among our people to look
ahead and plan for that possible period Of
temporary unemployment by saving as
much of their earnings as possible. We all
know by sad experience that when produc-
ton demands from industrial plants de-
crease our people are usually the first to be
laid Off
This question is a serious one for indus
trial workers Of all racial groups. Congress
has suddenly become alarmed over the mat
ter and is re-convening this week to consider
plans of reconvertion from wartime to
peace-time industrial production.
When the JapS struck on that memoir
able day December Z, l94l, it found the ma
ton not fully prepared for total war. Let Us
hope. however that when Germany falls and
peace comes to Europe, this nation may not
be caught unprepared for making speeding
establishments necessary TO begin civilian
production and provide new jobs for Amerl-
can workers Of all races.

Cecil u. Dickson Wrong As OF

hility Of a southern revolt in the
Democratic party. Indicating that
Southern Democrats Will not
