A quick solution is im- perative, according to the view of prominent labor leaders. “Every other country except France has thought about this matter,” said Emmanuel Brousse, a French deputy und a member of the newly appointed labor adjustment commission. “Britain has been working on the labor question for a long time. Twen- ty-five commissions composed of spe- cialists in various IInes have prepared a solution. “Germany had its after-war program definitely mapped but. First the men , who In clvi! life were engaged in such occupations as “technical, commercial, industrial, finehelal. and. transport were to be freed from army service, Other ‘Kinds’ of workmen’ were to be demobilized successlyely, F ‘France must not lose 2 moment in mapping out its labor readjustment plan, Otherwise there will be a social catastrophe.” 4 ; Labor leaders In’ France point 'also to the preparations in “America ‘fer distributing “farming land to demobil- ized soldiers, But they remark that this method of finding something for the ex-soldler to do is closed, to the French, Land Cultivated intensively.
