titled to $40 a month for your
service, provided that you re-
turned to the territory after
your discharge with the intention
of remaining there as a resident.)
(HOw bout that, JOe?)
COMING UP
The people out in Illinois ap-
proved a bill in the last November
elections that provides for the pay
ment Of $40 a month to veterans
for active duty on this side of the
Golden Gate and SIS a month for
service on the other side, with a
minimum payment Of $50. In other
words, you've got to get $50 il
you served honOrably, and you get
ten bucks for each month served
no matter how many you served
The catch: The machinery for pay
ing off the bonus has not been COM
pletely set up yet but you can get
full information from the Division
of Veterans Service at Sic East
Monroe ST., Springfield, Ill.
Michigan passed bonus amend
ment to its state constitution last
November similaE to the one passed
by Illinois, with the exception that
the Michigan bonus law puts a
$500 ceiling on the amount that
can be paid a veteran.
Both Michigan and Illinois stipu-
lated that in case of the death Of
an eligible veteran the next of
kin may be paid the sum to which
the veteran was entitled.
The Illinois bill provides for a
payment of 5000 to the next of
kin regardless of the length of
service, if the death was service
connected.
Rhode Island approved a bonus
for veterans in the November cleo
tions but as yet the state has not
decided what the bonus will be ex-
cept that to the next of kin of
eligibles the payment will be 5000.
The New York bonus law which
comes up this year provides for
payment of $50 to $3.50 (accOrd-
ing to the type and length of
service) to New York veterans
of World War ii.
The amendment which passed
the state legislature last March
must be approved by the legisla-
ture in l947 and then be submitted
to a referendum vote in the cleo
tiOns Of November, 1947. If you
guys up there ratify it, the state
will start paying off in 1948.
AS MAINE WENT???
The boys up there in Maine have
no bonus to look forward to. A pro-
posed law to give all honorably
discharged veterans a fiat sum of
$3.50 was defeated at a general
election last September.

portunity to build for themselves

1t may be well that big business
es think in terms of making it pos
sible for employees to share in
profits and losses by making it
possible for them to invest in the
concerns in which they are en-
ployed. Employees should be given
some of the responsibility Of their
employing concerns successes. If
free enterprise is to be saved, it
must absorb employees and John
Q. Public so as to make them a
part Of the warp and woof Of its
fabric in order that these two
forces will fight for its survival as
a saint fights for his faith.
Labor will in 1947 do well to
recognize that its greatest danger
lies in the possibility of it's failure to
recognize and assume social respon-
sibilities in far greater degree than
industry as whole has ever
dreamed of assuming. Labor must
not aid, abet and allow itself to be
absorbed into movements designed
to make possible race or religious
discrimination or segregation of
workers. Living and working for
the greatest good for the greatest
number of people is a law neither
labor nor capital can violate with
out at the same time blacking out

ideology may be sown.
Industry ought to be given the
opportunity TO provide the jobs
needed by every able bodied man
and woman in these United States
who wants TO work. 1t ought to
have the backing Of government
where it attempts TO voluntarily
put into effect a fair employment
practice program. No firm should
be forced to hire any particular
person on the basis of race, creed
OF color, but, at the same time, we
ought to have a law providing that
no one be given a license to op-
crate business that discriminates
against workers because of race,
creed or color.
II depression should come our
way again, government should in
stitute a program Of training able
bodied, industrious men and women
of character and guide them in
getting a toe-hold in the production
of something the world needs and
is willing to pay for so that they
will be enabled to buy, build, and
maintain their own homes. When
we speak of America, we speak of
20 odd millions homes, which be
they ever so humble, are the castles
Of the men and women who build
and own them.
| have talked about labor and
industry and the business ahead
of building a richer and fuller life,
and the keeping Of that life by
giving others the opportunity to
work and share in it.
Now come to what regard as
the important ingredient necessary
to leaven this whole loaf: We must
again capture the romance of
building men to match our world
Of mountains, men to match our
world Of plains, men with empires
in their brains and new eras in
their purpose, instead of a life of
greedy, grabbing and gulping men.
With this must go a condemna-
tion Of all forms of superstition and
prejudice. Religion, whose funda-
mental purpose is to promote peace
and goodwill must go hand in hand
with science, and constitute the
sole and ultimate basis of a peace
full, orderly and progressive society.
There must be an increasing in
culcation Of the principle of equal
opportunity, rights and privileges
for all men and women, compulsory
education, a fairer distribution Of
wealth, and the exaltation of work
performed in the spirit of service
to the rank Of mankind.
And in 1947 we should make a
real beginning in this business of
the adoption of an auxiliary inter-
nation language and a re-dedica-
tion of all the peoples of the world
to the proposition of providing the
necessary agencies for the estab-
lishment and safeguarding of
just, permanent and universal peace
for and by all the peoples of the
world.

pies of the world through the
