thank you and your staff in behalf of
the War Manpower Commission for
the splendid working arrangement
maintained and the cooperation which
has been extended to us.
Newspapers took the lead in crystal
lizing public opinion on the necessity,
under the war program, for having the
right worker in the right job at the
right time. Response from the news
papers has been not only gratifying
to us, but also has played most i'm
portant part in helping to meet Gin
cinnati's manpower requirements.
Having lifted all manpower controls,
we will launch on an employment pro-
gram designed to attain full employ
ment detectives. The United States
Employment Service will resume it's
basic job of service to workers and
employers.
Again l wish to express my appre-
citation to you for having worked so
closely with, US.
Sincerely yours,

Secretary of the Navy advised us we
were sitting pretty at Pearl Harbor.
Our people proved their wholeheart-
ed support of the war in military SER
vices and in industry when the real
picture was placed before them. Our
boys in the foxholes and our men and
women in factories, mines and mills
provided what was necessary to save
the nation.
A pussyfoot is as dangerous as a
quisling, and President Roosevelt tried
to tell the nation and Congress and
the newspapers what we were facing
But nobody would listen, and we have
paid. And how!
So, we can't agree with our Presi-
dent that our people are in any degree
for what happened at
Pearl Harbor. They went the limit
when they knew the facts-worked z
days a week, bought war bonds, back
ed up our war services, submitted to
heavy taxes. The real trouble was that
prior to Pearl Harbor they were not
informed-by the daily newspapers
and by our representatives in Con-
gress.
