The Problem Is JOBS

Now that the shooting is over, will there be jobs? That's what every adult American wants to know. Will there be jobs?
 When the joyous news of Japan's surrender was given to the world by President Truman at 2 p. m. (E. w. T.) on August IA the coun- try went wild. Within a few min- utes deliriously happy celebrations were in full swing in every city, town and hamlet. No more war. No more killing and maiming. Amer ica had again demonstrated her might when aroused. The people were jubilant.
 While Americans were milling in the streets, shouting, singing, hug ging strangers and tossing confet- ii, telegrams canceling contracts running into the billions were dis patched by the Army and Navy to thousands of concerns throughout the nation.
 Within ten days of the Japanese surrender at least 2,700,000 had been let out of their war jobs. Some found new jobs promptly, but most did not. Additional workers are slated for dismissal in the next few weeks Meanwhile the armed ser- vices are returning men to civilian life at an accelerated pace. Mill lions of jobs must be provided for these veterans.
 Reconversion is under way and in general, is off to a good start. The War Production Board and John w. Snyder, War Mobilization and Reconversion Director, say 1t is proceeding much more rapidly than expected. Nevertheless, the changeover to peacetime production is a major problem for many in- dustries. Completion of revonver- sion will take time.
 The American Federation of La- bor anticipates a total of 8,OOO.OO unemployed by next Spring. There after employment should increase.
 Transitional unemployment can not be avoided following a war. Workers in shipyards and aircraft plants knew that the end of hostil- ities would wipe out their jobs and they were not surprised when the inevitable happened. At the same time comparatively few of these disemployed war workers are in a position to endure protracted un- employment Much publicity has been given to the increase in the total of currency, bank balance and government securities in the hands of individuals, but surveys have shown that the greater part of these assets are held by persons in the higher income brackets, not by

ment, labor and the general public all have the same idea: to provide for a serviceman upon discharge, job to his liking with the max imum amount of security for req sonable length of time to permit the veteran to adjust himself in the community in preparation to compete in industry with other veterans or non-veteranS.
 "(3) With these thoughts in mind, the objective of the Veter- ans Counselor is to advise the vet eran when making his application for reinstatement as to the possi- bility of security in the job and the opportunities which such job may have to offer. It is my firm belief that if the position with the company does not bring with it some guaranty of security, at least for reasonable length of time, or that the job does not offer some measure of additional skill which he might be able to sell to another employer, he should attempt at least to obtain employment else where.
 "(4) This in no way constitutes a refusal to reinstate the veteran in his old job or one of equal pay or status to the one he held prior to his entry into the Armed Forces.
 "'(5) As counselor to the vet eran, it is my duty to advise both veteran and management what in my opinion is the most reasonable solution to the problem of reem- ployment of each individual. My attitude is non-partisan. I intend to see that the veteran gets what Congress intended he should have when it enacted the law governing the unemployment of the former employees who entered the service of our country and are now being discharged.
 "'(6) The obligation of the Elec- tric Boat Company is not it's alone it is the obligation of all of us. The company has provided the services of a Counselor who is himself making his second adjust ment to civilian life after service in the Armed Forces. The uncertain titles and difficulties of adjustment are very close to the Counselor, and his problems are very similar to those of the man who is seek ing security here in this commu- nity For one individual to attempt to handle all the problems without assistance is physical impossibil- ity. This assistance must come from every individual in the com- pany and can be accomplished if all will bring their questions be- fore the Counselor The office IS open for discussion of all problems there are no bars on the door and you do not have to be vet eran to see the Counselor. The only claim to the distinction of Coun- selor is a definite understanding of the veterans problem, wide experience and association with all ranks in our Armed Forces over a period of g years, and an honest belief that there is a req sonable answer to the problem of unemployment of the veteran if all parties are willing to work togeth- CT. If you do not already know the Counselor, go in to see him and find out how you can help"

average wage-earners.

average wage-earners.
 If transitional unemployment is held to minimum and is of short duration, and if legislation is passed by Congress to tide the unem- ployed over until there are new jobs for them, the middle of 1946 ought to see us on our way toward our peacetime ob1ective-full em- ployment.
 One way or another, there must be work for all who need and want work. Most of the jobs should be provided by private enterprise. Government has the responsibility of taking such measures as will en- able private enterprise to provide a maximum number of jobs, but if this number is not sufficient the government should be ready to step in and do it's part.
 The veterans do not intend to come home to apple selling. Nor are the rest of the people in any mood to go through any repeat per- formance of the depression of the 193os. There is no valid reason in the world why the resourceful and energetic people of this country should be without jobs in the post- war era. How to provide jobs for all may be tough nut, but 1t can and must be cracked.
 Meanwhile, we must keep calm and turn aside the dire predictions of the prophets of gloom. Confi~ dence in the ability of America to solve the problems of peace will help insure that the difficulties ot the present and of the next few months will not stay with us very long.
