The Tokyo radio, recently blasting at Japanese grumbling about food hardships, declared: “There are many complaints that the war should be stopped. We know it. However, we are fighting for the establishment of a true world peace. While we are fighting, we can't say we are suffering ... No, the inconveniences will grow in the future ... We are not yet eating rats or crows as they do in Europe” Here is an indication that even the fanatic, (as the enemy tellseus), people of Japan are growing tired of the war and long for peace. The very fact that the Government must make public recognition of this fact might mean that the discontent is of no small scale. On the other hand, since this type of propaganda very easily fits into the category of giving oom(on‘ to the enemy of Japan, it may be just another move to instill a false sense of confidence in the people of the United Nations. There have been several of these scraps tossed out of late. One Tokyo spokesman ndmmed that an mendous national buying power continued and reasonable steady employment. entire Japanese convoy was sunk in the Bismarck Sea last March. Another said that “if shortage of rice gets to the point of famine, shipping space could be made available for the transportation of rice from the South.” Another hinted impending n\ir raids and ignorance of protection against such raids by stating that Japan's flimsy houses are “ideal for defense,” for “there is no danger of being buried under bricks during air raids.” All of these quips seem aimed at attempting to convince the United Nations that Japan is meeting many difficulties that will aid the United Nations. We should realize from experience that the enemy in the Pacific is not to be underestimated, that Japan is a very strong machine of war, one that was built ll‘p over a period of many years until it was in a position to attack and wage a war with an enemy that was known to have been undefeated in any conflict. The Japanese radio is not broadcasting the true state of things on the Japanese home front to the world at large any more than it tells the truth about the war to the people of Japan. This should be realized and the reports digested accordingly. (Cincinnati Enquirer) Already the task of finding jobs for ex-servicemen | is demanding the attention of Federal agencies. As they come filtering back, out of the uniform of the services into the life of civilians, discharged soldiers work, for work is plentiful and workers are few. Applications now being made by former soldiers and sailors are, of course, only a breeze in comparison with the great winds which will blow across the land at the end of the war. Then there will be millions of men—and women as well—who will be anxious to| return to the jobs they left behind them, or to new positions ‘in business and industry. The problem of today's soldier applicants is easily solved; but tomor- row’s problem will be a different story. There is one step which the average man and woman can take toward helping in the solution of | postwar employment difficulties.

If there is no consumer demand for new goods, but little new goods will be made, and con- sequently jobs will be few and far between. If, on the other hand, our buying public has plenty of available | money, in the form of government securities, demands | for automobiles and tires, for houses and fishing rods, | for overcoats and bathtubs, will press in on industrial plants and employment will be plentiful. | | Thus by the purchase of a bond today you may | | help—and directly—in assuring a postwar job to that | lad you know who is fighting your battles in the steaming jungles of New Guinea or on the highlands Washinglon | Merry- Go-Round (Contioued trom Page One” bank of South Cal They found the; of coffee for doughnuts for a Why?—the OPA. ager D.
