The troubles of the rest of the world are still too much with us, but we cannot escape from nor dodge our responsi- bility for contributing to their solution.
 This year the American people gave generously in time of scarcity to save the people of Europe and Asia from starvation. Hundreds of thousands of American boys are still stationed abroad to keep the peace so dearly won. It is part of our job to help the weaker nations to get back on their feet, and we will not count the price too high if by these efforts we serve the cause of lasting world peace.

News for Returning Vets
By JAMES A. BROWNLOW retary-TreaSurer of the AFL
 Metal Trades Dept.

General Omar Bradley, the Vet erans Administrator, warned re- gently that a national scandal has developed in the veterans on-the- job training program. Thousands of veterans have been Shamefully cheated by interruptions employ CTS and the Government has been robbed of millions of dollars.
 Evidence of this reprehensible racket was first exposed by the Metal Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor last May. Apparently the abuses com- plained of have grown even worse since then.
 Under the c. I. Bill of Rights subsistence allowances are provid- ed for on-the-job training of vet erans in civilian jobs, the maxi mum allowance being $65 month for veterans without dependents and $9O a month for those with dependents. These subsistence payments were to be in addition to wages paid by the employer dur ing the training period.
 Immediately the money became available, some employers de- scended like vultures upon the hapless veterans and began using the subsidy for their own selfish ends. In some cases wages were re- duced to $8 or $10 a week. Anoth- CT trick practice was to extend the training period far beyond the re- quired time SO that the Govern ment would, in effect, pay the em- ployer's wage costs. Some firms hired many more veterans than could adequately be trained in or der to destroy existing wage structures.
 An even more serious abuse was the development of training mills which are preying on veterans. At the end of a long and difficult training course, the veteran re- ceives a diploma but no job, or finds that he has been inadequate or improperly instructed so that he can't hold down job.
 The American Federation of La bor supports General Bradley's de- mand for Federal and State action to end these abuses.
 In contrast to this shocking sit- uation is the successful apprentice ship training system carried on by the trade unions. The upions of the A. F. L. waived limitations of long standing in order to extend more opportunities to the G. I.'s coming back to civilian life. Since last May the number of union ap- prentices has more than doubled. Today more than 90 per cent of union apprentices are drawn from the ranks of veterans. And let me add that veteran serving his ap- premiership under union auspices is fully protected from exploita- tion. He gets well paid and he gets expert training on the job.
 Disabled veterans have found it extremely difficult to get civilian employment. They appreciate the fact that organizations such as the Metal Polishers Union are re- quiring employers to hire partially disabled veterans. Eventually, the employer find that these disabled veterans are among the most ef- ficient men in his plant.
 Yes, the repeated attempts to turn veterans against labor are being defeated by such actual ex- periences of returning c. I.'s who are finding out the truth-which is that the unions are on their side.

Before the war altogether too many of our citizens took this blessing for granted. Now again there are signs of re- curing indifference and com placency. This attitude is un- justified and very dangerous. For always, in times of peace as we'll as in times of war, there are ugly forces at work attempting to whittle away and ultimately to wipe out the most fundamental and the most important of human rights-the right to live our lives as we see fit and not as some omnipotent dictator commands.
 If the people of our country did not live under system of freedom, there could not be such an organization as the
