Getting and Holding

need for additional workers, m
unemployed as soon as victor
employment may also occur when
large-scale conversion to peace
time production begins. The
changeover from war production to
manufacturing of peacetime goods
and materials will naturally cause
considerable displacement of work
ers.
Negroes in Industry
Negroes have made their great
est gains in war plants and in in
dustries devoting all or a part of
their operation to war contracts.
When cutbacks occur many Negro
workers will be automatically
"out." To facilitate their early in
PRODUCTION into established peace
time industries, or in other post
war developments, well laid plans
should be in operation to cushion
the impact of wholesale unemploy-
ment. There are, however, func-
tiOning agencies already commit
ted to the responsibility for Great
ing employment opportunities for
Negroes. This article will confine
it's discussion largely to Negro
workers who are destined to fill
the postwar jobs made available to
them.
Wartime Work Record Important
The wartime employment record
of each postwar worker is certain
to be used as an index to the in
dividual's desirability as peace
time employee. Has he or she
measured up to the standard of
white workers-not the average
but the most efficient? Has he
"made the grade" to the extent Of
overcoming the handicap of color?
To be able to compete on any terms
approaching equality, it is an ac-
cepted fact that the Negro work
er must show consistently better
performance and greater adapta-
bility to his job than the white
employee. This is especially true
in industries where Negro workers
were not previously employed.
Insistence of superior fitness is,
of course, unfair and unjust when
the requisite is based on color
alone. Color plus certain added
personal and social qualities of an
nature are Objectionable
to both white and Negro workers
alike. Furthermore, color plus GER
tain undesirable personal traits
transfer to the minority
group an employment disadvantage
which it can most i'll afford. AS
result, the Negro worker is not
viewed effectively. He is too often
seen through the shortcomings of
some careless workers who never
fail to draw unfavorable attention
to themselves. Thus, unsatisfactory
work or behavior on the part of
Negro workers tends to obscure
the otherwise favorable estimate
of supervisors or other administra-
tive personnel. Unless these per-
sons of authority belong to that
rare class of citizens who rise
above the bugaboo of racialism, the
Negro worker is seldom divorced
from his handicap of color. There
fore, the requirement of greater
ability and better performance on
his job, though unjust and unfair,
becomes the heritage of every Ne
gro employee-if his tenure is to
be made secure.

HERE'S THE ANSWER Our domes-
tic supplies of fats and oils
will be approximately one and
one-half billion poundsl less than
last year. Yet thousands of war
and home-front essentials
made from fats. tanks, soaps,
bullets, medicines. must still
be supplied to finish the last
half of the war.

The Oil Strike

The folly of this oil strike movement must
apparent to the strikers, and especially
leir leaders, unless they have lost their
.nses. They must know that by Threatening

lev are inviting government seizure. which
an do them no good.
The secretaries of the Army and the Navy
ave advised Secretary Schwellenbaca of La
Dr. that their forces cannot get by on present
zpplies beyond next week. Mr.. Schwelen-
ach has also learned that TIE oil strikes are
ping more to interrupt industrial recover
on than any other strikes.
AS the military and naval forces of the
alton still have an important task to COM
lete, and reconversion is the greatest DO
nestle need, it would seem that unless con-
iliation efforts are promptly successful the
overnment must step II.
And when il does il should be with the
understanding that veterans applying for jobs

dominion. With the war won and the enemy
overcome, Russia is out for spoils. If this is
incorrect or unjust, there has been nothing
in the foreign comnissar's attitude to prove
it.
We cannot quite overcome feeling that
notwithstanding his buster, the Russian po-
sition is chiefly bluff. Mr.. Molotov is in Lon
don to get what he can for the Soviets by
methods ordinarily successful for good
poker player. ''calr' probably would show
him holding pair Of deuces.
And the United States is the power that
ought to do the calling. Why? Because Rus
STA, like all other Allied nations in need Of
cash, must come to the United States for
loan. And unless the United States has lost
its wits, no loan should be granted Until all
of Russia's cards are on the table.

Out For Loot

The Russians, through their foreign com.

present Conference of Foreign Ministers con-
'ider peace in the Orient, not merely in Eu-
:ope, the purpose for which the parley was
called, and in addition has let it be known,
whether officially or subrosa we are unable

In other words, it appears that the Russians
are determined to forget as quickly as pos

YOUR CT RIGHTS
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 - Here
are some general questions from
G1s and their relatives:
@. My son was drafted out of
college. For year he did nothing
but pick up waste paper although
he tried to get in the Air Corps.
Finally he got into the Army med
ical training program, learning to
be dentist. That program was
dropped and he was told he wasn't
eligible for the benefits of the CT
Bill of Rights. Is this true?
A. No. His years service before
he entered the special course quail
flies him for the benefits of the
CT Bill of Rights.
@. My husband works in plant
which is still making war goods.
They say it will keep working for
another year. But they have chang
ed my husbands classification
from 2-B to "a Does that mean he
will be drafted soon?
A. Whether he will be drafted
depends on his age and whether
his employer asks another defer
ment for him. AS long as he is
in IA he will not be drafted. The
IA deferment will expire when the
previous 2-B classification was sup
posed to end.
@. My husband was just dis
charged. He had been a constrVc-
ton contractor and needs couple
of trucks to get started again. AT
an Army post about 10 miles from
here there are about a dozen
trucks which have been declared
surplus property. thought 3eter-
ans had priority on surplus proper
ty but the man at the post says
he can't sell them. What should he
do to get two of these trucks?
A. All surplus property that is
sold on veterans priority must
be sold through the Smaller War
Plants Corporation. Write to the
nearest SWPC office and explain
your case.
@. Do women who are discharg-
ed from the service get as much
mastering out pay as the men?
A. Yes. They get the same mus
tering out pay repending on where
they served.

What we don't like about it is that you
make definite declaration supposedly of a
fact and then try to get off the spot by ad-
hitting you were only giving a personal
opinion.
It would be a good thing for you to call
a press conference, like General Patton did
the other day, and make clear what you real.

you to square yourself than he, since he's

Bostonians would do to you, or natives of
the deep South, and for that matter denizens
OF the Ozarks, if they had a chance. We'd
enjoy being present when they were doing it.
We might forgive you if you had restricted
your observation to one class of New Workers.
The better performers on the legitimate stage
OF New York do indeed have charming voices
there are none pleasanter anywhere. But
most OF them acquired the art of speaking

the Circulation Manager and Car

the interest of the whole commune

we get together and call in our
state and county officials to help
all the people and especially the

In conclusion, I might state that
I have no drainage troubles nor
children in school, but I do have a
kindly feeling for my neighbors;
further, that they that ride the bus

that the new company has made

Give Macarthur A Chance

There's great TODD over Hirohito's visit
to General Macarthur. The Japs pulled fast
Ole. saw some. Hirohito had all the advantage
in inviting himself Macarthur should have
told him to come when called, and not be-
fore.
Hirohito should have been photographed in
the act of bowling low to the general-perhaps
kissing his hand, or otherwise displaying
great humbleness. That picture of them side
by side will convince the Japanese that the
Mikado came as an equal, not a pariah.
Furthermore, declare the critics, Hirohito is
still the. head of the Japanese governm ent
and Macarthur is dealing entirely with the
militarists when he ought to have opened jap
anese prisons, freed the liberals Of the nation
and be dealing with them in arranging the
occupation program.
Macarthur is an old softie, unable to deal
efficiently with the difficult situation. Instead
of employing either Hirohito or any free jap
anese in setting up the occupation, he ought
to be failing the whole gang and treating
them with the same intolerance the Japanese
showed during the period of their military
successes.
Of course we know very little Of what is
actually transpiring in Japan but that does
not prevent our forming opinions from what
We don't know. nor from giving the Supreme
Commander hail Columbia because he is not
doing what we, in our ignorance, believe he
should
We very much doubt that General MacAr-
thur is more in favor Of soft peace for
Japan than the most rabid Jspanese-haters
among us at home. The difference is that he is
in country which still contains a large army
under arms. A rlis-step now inevitably would
cause grave trouble, because not all members
of the japanese army are convinced their
nation has been defeated and would start
fighting again at the drop of hat.
As for Hirohito, it appears quite probable
that General Macarthur poured tale into
his ear which viii not soon be forgotten nor
fail to reach other ears where it also will
lodge.
Our point is that Japan's surrender was too
recent for Macarthur to have made more
progress. especially as he is not fee agent
but is receiving his orders from Washington
