THE WORLD ABROAD
ISSUED by Cross Country Reports)

New York, n. with the spectacular surren-
der ceremonies on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo
Bay, and with President Humans proclamation of
VI Day, World War III came to it's official end.
1t was exactly six years after the German Army
had pured across the frontiers of Poland. more than
eight years after the ''incident''' at the Marco Polo
Bridge had inaugurated the japanese attempt to
3 conquer China, and fourteen years since the Japan
csc seizure of Mancuria had sent the world spinn-
ing toward the disaster of another major conflict.
Two days after the surrender ceremonies, Emper
or Hirohito opened the session Of the japanese
Diet. He appeared in person. He spoke of the
cessation Of hostilities', but did not mention de-
feat or surrender. A day later the japanese Prem
Ter addressed the Diet. He did not hesitate to refer
to the japanese defeat. He analyzdd it's causes at
some length. But he failed to indicate in any way
a recognition that Japan had committed a wrong in
starting the war, or even that it had acted u%nwisely.
? The japanese Government has now called an cleo
ton in January. 1t acts in all respects as a con-
tinuing sovereign government.
These conditions provide a strange contrast to
those prevailing In Germany, where no German
Government exists and no German sovereignty of
any sort is recognized.
Geenralissimo Chang Kai-shek addressed an in
t~eresting VI Day message to the Chinese people.
In it he promised ITO introduce democracy and con-
stutionalism'' and to "~restore the power of govern
ment to the Chinese people,
Unless these are empty wOrds-and we have no
reason to suppose thai @Chiang's promis-
es foreshadow the end Of personal dictatorship and
one party (Kuomintang) rule.
Chang also promised the ''unification'' of China
which means reaching a satisfactory understanding
with the Chinese Communists of Yenan. If the
Generalissimo proceeds promptly in the direction
Of democracy and constitutionalism'', there is a
good chance that he will be able to come to terms
with Yenan. Hao-Tze-Tung, the Chinese Comm
unist leader, is now in Chungking comforting with
the GeneralisSimo.
The toughest obstacle confronting the two lead
ers is the question of what to do with the powerful
Chinese Communist Armies, which have for years
successfully defended large parts of China against
the japanese invaders. Chang insists that ''priv-
ate armies cannot be tolerated in the new demo-
cratic China. Mao will undoubtedly want to be as
sured that the new China will actually be democrat

workers have no protection.
60 State unemployment compensation is too
varied and too often inadequate to cover the recon
version period to be satisfactory.
Senator Barley, majority leader in the Senate,
put it another way: eve passed a Reconversion
Act last year providing financial assistance to
owners Of corporations and no state came in here
and claimed it was their job. The states didn't
object to federal crop insurance or highway aid
from the federal government, or offer to take over.
But when it comes to human beings, the states
claim it is their sacred ground"

Senator OMahoney Cd. Wyo) has prepared
charts to show the cost of unemployment and de-
preston. They indicate that during the period
from 1929 to 1911 depression cost business 1856
billion in sales. 1t cost workers $175 billion in wag
es; corporations $69 billion in profits; farmers 1914
billion in earnings.
The Senator also has a chart on the "mass mark
ct for American businessl 1t shows that the broad
profit base for business is supplied neither by the
very rich nor even by the comfortably well to do,
but by persons who make less than $4,000 a year.
Last years income tax returns show that 4I,OOO,-
600 persons received less than S4,OOO, while 3,oOu
600 received more than that.
Concludes Senator O'Mahoney: "There is more
profit for the shoemaker in selling one pair Of sho-
es to each Of the AZ, 100000 than in selling three
pairs to each of the 100000. The best way to
make business good for every business man is TO
make certain that involuntary unemployment shall
not be tolerated in America"
4
Until jobs are assured for all who want them, the
employment problem will be confused by the feder-
al court ruling that veterans have super-seniOrity
over all others. More than a two-way controversy
between veterans and labor organizations looms up
Many employers privately admit their skilled la
Dor force would be shot to pieces if the rule were
fully applied. Labor union leaders assert the rule
won't help Veterans a year hence when they Will
need it most. They are sure the z. S.. Supreme
Court will reverse the lower court, but not in time
to avert bad feeling.

dollars per week to unemployed workers during
the reconversion period. Georges plan provides
for paying benefits to such workers up to twenty
six weeks, but at the prevailing state rates rAther
han at the twenty-five dollar maximum. This
means in practice that southern workers will re-
ceive much less than those in the North, and also
means that states with the largest Negro popula-
ton will have the lowest guaranteed benefits.
Thus it will happen as it has already happened
with federal aid to education. Those who most
need it will have least chance Of getting it. And
yet many southern politicians profess inability to
understand why Negroes and whites are still leav-
ing the South in a steady stream.

Peace is here at last-but if we expect peace to
solve our problems, we are in for a sad awakening.
The problems of peace are no less urgent than the
problems of war. and we will not have the high ten
sion of national necessity to weld us together.
There is no doubt that in the days ahead WE will
be faced with critical situations. We will have to
reshape our lives, to readjust our plans, to develop,
In many cases, new work. ~
Now is the time to find out what we have learned.
Now is the time to capitalize upon our experiences
in the war years. In the cold light Of peace, our
successes and our failures are made plain to us. If
IN the past years we have done our job well, if we
have made our work an occasion for learning new
things and developing new skills, it will serve us in
good stead.
Sure, the immediate future undoubtedly will be
hard. But what we must do is to tackle our i'm
mediate problem with the same intelligence with
which we tackled our war job, to stand on our own
feet and to rely upon ourselves and our ability and
willingness to work hard at a constructive task.

TOO MUCH MEANY:

George Meany, AFL delegate to the British
Trade Union Congress, probably had the shock Of
his life the other night when Englishmen resented
his attack on the CLIO and the Russian trade move
ment. A good guess is that Meany was talking on
his own rather than from a prepared manuscript,
for it is hardly conceivable that the AFL Council
would permit him to put his foot in his mouth in
that fashion. Whether George Meany knows it or
not CLIO, has been the msot liberalizing influence in
the ntire labor movement in this country. And
Englishmen labor leaders don't need any American
to come over to tell them what is going on in Rus
sa. Meany was hitting below the belt, and the
boos and cat-calls Of bis audience must have made
him feel very mean indeed.

DON'T WAIT O. LONG:

Not nearly enough Negro veterans are taking adj
vantage Of the education benefits available to them.
Perhaps they don't understand this business any
too well, or perhaps they want to rest up a bit be-
fore tackling the serious business of returning to
school. There are probably a number of good rea-
sons. but just the same there is danger in waiting
too long. Most Of the men will never again get a
chance like this, and everyone who is interested in
the welfare Of the men should be quick to see this
and point it out to those concerned.

President Truman may lack great elOquence. He

In announcing that a large part Of our Lend
Lease contributions to our Allies would have to be
written off as part of this nations share in the cost
Of the war, the President bravely grasped a polite

party. He was accused Of throwing away the bar

United States greater prestige and a better bargain

ments with our Allies clearly state that they shall
repay only to the extent and only in such manner
as shall not burden commerce between the two
countries but shall "'promote mutually advantage
eous economic relations and the "betterment Of
world wide economic relations"
The President is therefore not proposing to give
away any legal rights. He KS merely reminding
