Job Prospects
High for Vets

Job prospects for returned veter-
ans in 1916 look excellent" pro-
vided material shortages and strike
uncertainties can be cleared up, in
the opinion of private employment
agency managers in IL cities.
The employment agencies, re-
porting in a survey made by North
western National Life Insurance
company, reveal a very "spotty" job
market at present; placements of
veteran applicants reported by the
various agencies range all the way
from 10 per cent to 90 per cent
within 30 days from time Of appli-
cation. Most agencies report that
eX-servicemen already account for
some so per cent Of their male ap-
plicants. and the volume is growing
steadily. Many managers point out
that VI day caught the nation
unawares, and express the opinion
that reconversion is several months
behind the flood Of returning vet
Grams.
Favorable influences, which
should aid G. I. job placements in
1916, are listed by the agencies as:
Enormous backed-up demand for
all kinds OF goods and services, to-
gether with record consumer saw
ings available to buy them; many
new fields of business, such as plas-
tics, electronics, ETC., which are
striving to get started and already
inquiring for personnel; lowered
business taxes as of Jan. /; fav-
orable attitude of employers toward
veteran applicants.

On the Domestic Side.
Senator Taft will be working the
domestic side Of the street for all it
is worth. AS steering chairman for
the party he has accepted RESPONSE
bility for directing its policy toward
all legislation. AS education and
welfare chairman of the Senate he
is gambling on his ability to secure
passage of moderate labor and social
laws that will endear him to his
countrymen.
It is a positive program and will
be positively carried out by the
forceful Senator Taft. It will make
him q natural target and its haZ-
ards are obvious. Nevertheless in
a period where drift seems to be the
rule, he may gain an unexpected
eminence.
Senator vandenberg, fortified
with the double dignity Of foreign
relations chairman and President
Of the Senate, will direct-as he
virtually did in the past-Senate ac-
ton toward what Republicans now
pointedly refer to as "the American
foreign policy" Their proprietary
air indicates truly that they expect
and intend to be full partners with
the White House in these matters.
Role Of Statesman.
To date Senator Vandenberg has
kept his own participation in foreign
affairs on an extremely high level.
And it is in this role of statesman
that his chance to emerge from a
deadlocked convention as the COM
promise candidate lies. But he, too,
has his hazards.
The making OF foreign policy has

to have taken hold, the string now
stretching out to 26 States, with
local forums totaling 165. The aim
Is to reach all States and all COM
munities in which there are enough
Republicans to hold meeting.
Competency Is First Step.
On the face of it the enterprise
has great possibilities of public
benefit. The Republican Party has
sought and obtained the response
bility for managing much OF our
national affairs for the next two
years. It is willing to have the
responsibility extended for a longer
period. If it is to meet this re-
sponsibility it cannot be too well
Informed and nothing develops in
formation faster than forums OF
free discussion. The Republicans
are in power for a moment through
having convinced a majority of the
voters of the incompetence OF the
Democrats. To stay in power they
will need now to convince the
voters Of their own competence.
The first step in that direction, OF
course, is to become competent. The
forums surely should help.
Among his reasons for sidestep-
ping Mr.. Stassen's generous gesture,
Chairman Reece gives the matter
of expense. The National Commit
tee, he says, could not afford it.
The forums being a relatively mex
pensive operation-about $1,000 a
month at present-this will be news
to those familiar with the manner
in which the money has poured into
the national committee since the
party's prospects began to look
good.
Anyhow, the national committee
won't have it and Mr.. Stassen's
friends will have to continue the
undertaking on their own. Which
they plan to do and for which they
are to be congratulated. Voters,
wherever the forums are conducted,
will have something by which to
measure the performance of their
Congressman. Of a suggestion is
in order, 1t might be well for the
Washington headquarters of the
forums to send out the voting rec
ords OF individual Congressman
along with the other material 1t
supplies to the local forunls0
Facing the Issues.
These are parlous times. Prob
lens of tremendous Importance
must be solved. Many of them must
be solved politically. It is not
enough for citizens to vote Repub-
lican-or Democratic-just because
their daddies did. The Stassen plan
points the way toward more intelli-
gent voting. At the same time 1t
puts up to the party leaders the
necessity to face the issues.
In this connection there is an
other party leader who has earned
a word Of commentator and he is
getting 1t. Senator Taft's decision
to ask for the craftsmanship of the
new Senate Committee on Labor
and Public Welfare has brought
cheers from quarters not accus-
toned to cheering the Ohio candi-
date. 1t was a decision that re-
quired not only superb confidence
in his own capacity quality
which Mr.. Taft never has lacked
bait genuine political courage. The

Now, in the year 1S46, man who
hopes to establish himself as selec-
tor of bowl game winners has to
make career Of the business. He
can have no outside interests, what
with bowl games scheduled for

10-Fingered Experts.
I know football experts who hire
full time secretaries, equipped with
brief case, filing cabinet and cross
index, just to keep track OF the
various bowls, the towns in which
they are located, and the teams
booked to play In them. AS for
trying to keep up with such things
as the various colors of the teams,
their nicknames, their leading play
ers, their coaches. the names Of the
wives and babies of the star players,
well, it Just isn't done anymore. To
have. all this information at his
finger tips, an expert would have to
have lot more finger tips than 10,
and employ a staff the size Of the
United Nations staff.
Nevertheless, I am going to pick
the bowl winners this year. It is
true that I am no longer a sports
writer, but I have been deluged with
requests to announce my selections.
Mail, pleading that do SO, has come
from as far away as two blocks from
my home. It Is the same sort Of
mail, imagine, that Leonardo got
when he quit painting for sculpture,
that Byron received when he gave
up poetry for swimming, that filled
the box of Mr.. Truman when he
chucked haberdashery for politics.
So, using the same old system
that stood me 50 well in years past,
will now select the New Year
winners. This system. by the way,
involves astrology, biology, the house
numbers of the dean Of men at the
various schools, the average mean
weight Of the freshman class at
each school and the distances in
