In this current national de- fense emergency this nation can-| r afford to neglect its youth pop- ulation.

That work has gone on as it did before the national emergency. CCC Purpose “There is a purpose in this that transcends emergency situations. “It is wise that the Nation look beyond the years of rearming when this country and every other is di- recting its energies toward arming againsy aggression. We must look to future years when we return to normal peacetime occupational pur- suits. When that day arrives, young men will still need the fundamen- tal practical training that is now available to them in the CCC. It is not enough, in our specialized economic scheme, to have a smat- tering of skill and knowledge which will enable a worker to “get by.” Employers are more and more de- manding that the men on their payrolls know how to do a job well, be familiar with safety regu- Jations, and be physically and men- 1ally accustomed to doing a fulll s work without loss of effici-! sically, this training is in it- self a vital contribution to national defense. It develops a sturdy, self- 1eliant youth, equipped to cope with | emergencies. It conditions Lhese young men for war-time service by teaching them to live together in barracks, to keep fit physically, to think for themselves, to apply them- selves to the job at hand, and to obey instructions. The work itself contributes to national defense by conserving and improving the con- ditions of our sofl and forests. Basic Training “While the enrollees have never had any military drill, target prac- tice, nor manual of arms in the cCcC camps, they have received basic training in many of the ele- ments of what every rookie has to go through, what the Army would call ‘the school of the sol- dier.’ “Phey have learned about aid, safety, sanitation, personal hy- piene, something of discipline, they | have learned how to live together,| work together, play together, and best of all, hui to do a real day's work. They have received able training in work habits, skills, and work attitudes. All them have improved physically and their morale has gone up. “We would like to point out that, the citizens of Juneau can an highly important role in training of these men. As the ma- jority of the enrollees are young men, removed from the refining in-| fluences of home ties, it is neces sary that their environment wheu away from camp be such that their| character may be improved.

MUST DO WORK IN FULL REALIZATION 'Donovan Warns of Dan- gerous Economic Posi- tion If Germany Wins CHICAGO, April 11.—Col. Wil- liam Donovan, independent observ- er who only recently returned from a trip to war-torn England, sald today if Germany wins the war, America will be “in a very danger- ous economic position,” and what- ever this nation does now ‘we must do it with the full realization of the danger involved even though this danger be war itself.” Col. Donovan, speaking beofre the Chicago Council for Foreign Rela- tions, said ‘since his recent three months’ mission of observation he is of the impression that in the passage of the Lease-Lend bill, the American people acted on sound instinets but they were not certain in their minds the danger that ex- isted.
