British Brides of

To Be Good Wives in

LONDON. - British brides are
going to school to learn how to be
good American wives.
These particular British brides
are the wives of American CT Joes.
and at the end of the war they will
be exchanging their country and
citizenship for those of their Yankee
bubbles.
The number of British girls who
have married American soldiers

it is probable that they run into the

Though Cupid has been adroit in
bringing together hands across the
sea, he is not a practical enough
fellow to fit the English brides into
the social mold of an unknown new
world.
School Need Cited.
Hence has arisen the need for
schooling the brides in what they
may expect in the nation they will
some day cap their own, and how
best they can meet the change of
environment.

Mass. program director of the IA

idea. Why not an informal get-to-

ideas and thrash out their own
problems among themselves?
To attempt to lecture these young
brides, many of them in the first

would be worse than futile.
But to give them the opportunity
of swapping their experiences and
talking over their own hopes was a
scheme containing many exciting
possibilities. Invitations were sent
out to a number Of young couples
living in or near London to New
Years party at the Rainbow club
Fifteen couples turned up. Since
then the monthly attendance has
risen to so couples. ..

We can go haywire easily enough,
when all of "the boys" get home and
get organized.
Or, the men who have come home
and who still are to come home, can
help the rest of us maintain balance
that will be fair, but not maudlin and
not raiding.
We shall see what we shall see, but
we shall see everything more clearly
if we regard the soldier as man, in
stead of as a child who needs mental
and physical care lest he eat green
apples or throw rocks at the street
lights.
Our armies have been heroic and
victorious. That, somehow, seems to
denote manhood that should be recog-
nized as such, fully and honestly.
But it suits the purpose of some to
use baloney instead of roast beef

many votes are there for adulthood

wholesale cases of psychiatric char
acter when we think of boys than it is
when we think of men.
Perhaps that is why, just a few
months ago, there were too many
who thought that every returning
soldier was going to be a problem
child. A healthy revolt among the
returnees themselves helped to put
check reign on that brand of think
ing.
That there are psychiatric cases is
known to all who know anything about
the returnees, but that they predom-
mate, or come anywhere near it is
just plain ridiculous.
The returning soldiers are not "just
children, as many sob sister thinks
they are.
No man who has gone through a
war can come out child, or even a
boy, whatever his years.
We have altogether too much infan-
tilism in our national life and we can
afford lot of growing up, just as
we are finding that we have to grow
up in our thinking about world af-
fairs and our relation to the world.
There is another side to the pic
ture, too. Those who remembe: the
postlude to the last war will remem-
Der how rapidly the clamor went up
for all manner of things for "the
boys, to the utter disgust Of the best
of them.
Of course the easiest way to get your
throat cut is to intimate, even gently
that there are limits to generosity
and for that reason most people, poll.

Green Asks Support
For Social Security

Washington, D. C.-AFL President
William Green appealed to the Con-
ference of Governors at Mackinac Is
land, Mich, to give up their opposi-
tion to a national system Of social
security, including unemployment
compensation.
In telegram to the conference, Mr..
Green said:
"We urge that in your deliberations
you give full consideration to the vi
tai interests of the workers of Amer
lea. National conventions of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor have gone
on record in favor of national sys-
tenn of free employment offices, and
national system Of social insurance, in
Guiding unemployment insurance.
These needs are particularly urgent in
the period of reconversion ahead"

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchst We tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly. sometimes Aippantly. some
times rscklesaly.

With the return of large numbers
of our soldiers from Europe for dis
charge into civilian life we need to do
some honest thinking and perhaps
some plain talking.
First, there is common tendency to
talk of these returned soldiers as boys,
as if they were infants.
Perhaps, in some degree, this is a
manifestation of a rather common and
somewhat ridiculous tendency to speak
of all men and women as boys and
girls. "What are the boys doing to-
night?', or "let's go and join the
girls, even though in each case they
may be well along the road to the
fifties or sixties, or even the seven
ties.
But the term "boys" as applied to
the returned soldiers is used to in
dicate actually that these men are in
fants requiring especial watchfulness.
How any man, even though not more
than II when he joined up, can be re-
garded as boy somehow strains
credulity just about to the limit. We
can scarcely be expected to have a
healthy or understanding attitude un-
til we realize that these soldiers are
adults.
Somehow it is easier to imagine

Court Prevents Raid
On AFL Unions Funds

Binghamton, N. Y.-State Supreme
Court Justice Martin w. Deyo, in a
significant decision, upheld the con-
tentions Of the AFL and prevented
funds belonging to a local union here
from being donated" to an independ-
ent group.
The Federal local, Photographic &
Chemical Workers Union, No. 22615,
had been ordered by AFL President
Green to affiliate with the new Chemi-
cal Workers International Union. Sew
eral Of the local officers refused, or
ganized an independent" union and
went through the motions of "donat-
ing" the locals funds to the new or
ganization.
In an NLRB election, the workers
involved, who are employed at the
General Aniline & Film Corp, voted
overwhelmingly for the AFL and
against the independent union.
Justice Deyo then issued temper
ary injunction, sought by John ].
Walsh, as attorney for the loyal AFL
workers, providing that the funds of
the local union be held in escrow pend
ing the outcome Of the litigation.

performing his plain duty, unharm-
ed and perhaps even improved?
That is not good question to ask
of politicians.
It must be assumed that every per-
son, in whatever role he has been
cast, has done his or her part in ac-
cordance with the needs of the gov
ernment. Thousands upon thousands
have remained at home, under draft
board orders. They were told where to
serve and they served where they were
told to serve.

shut.
However, there is point that should
be made somewhere. It is this: If, as
we constantly proclaim, it is duty, a
right and privilege to defend the
nation, falling equally upon all and to
all, then the performance Of that duty
is in itself the reward.
There is an obligation to care for
those who are injured or rendered un-
