A total of 46 million persons were employed in the United States in 1940. Today, 62 million are either fighting or working The problem is how to keep most of these people working after the war, and so far there hasn’t been any ‘one plan agreed on by all concerned. Unless somgehing is worked out, we'll be back to the days of 33,/and there’s 1o question about it ‘Hunting jobs after the war will be the following: Most of the men and women now in war plants. | Returning service men, less a few million who may remain in uniform. Displaced workers who hold jobs only until the men come back. An example of what is likely to happen is seen in the aircraft manufacturing industry. More than a million persons are employed in this line of production. But the government’s failure so far to define a policy it will follow in the eventual liquidation of surplus airplanes and the enormously extended fac- tories that have been constructed to manufacture the planes of war is menacing the position of aircraft manufacturers. These industtialists believe in perhaps five to 10 years after the war ends, the revolutionary things now being planned and talked about may begin to assume reality. But most aircraft manufacturers are losing slecp now over the prospect that they may not survive the war. . To wage war, the government has placed con- tracts totaling more than 20 billion wn.h aircraft manufacturers, many of them having no substantial backlog of reserves before the war. As they look toward the end of the war, they wonder what they're going to do with their swollen payrolls. They haven't reserves to carry present payrolls more than a few days or a few weeks after the gov- ernment starts cancellihg contracts. Bell Aircraft Company of Buffalo would 20 br & carrying its current payroll one weck The entire net profit for 1942 of the Glenn L Martin Company of Baltimore would be wiped out in four weeks after contracts are terminated if it carried its full payroll that long. . Consolidated Vultee would last two weeks. heed might be able to run for three weeks. 3 Part of these unemployment headaches may be by-passed if Germany folds up before Japan does. Presumably, then, we could at least shift some of our war workers into peace pmducuon Lock- Possibility of Gas Attack (Cincinpati Enquirer) While reports on the use of poison :3as by -‘ucmy nations crop up periodically, and while there always will be a possibility that such tactics will be employed | as the Axis cause grows more and more desperate, there seems little real cause for believing that over- all gas attacks form a part of immediate German and Japanese military .plans. There are two excellent reasons for this. First the, enemy realizes, so long as we continue to increase our air strength, that our retaliation will be terrible and devastating. Second, a study of the effects of gas ! warfare during the first World War shows how well the Allies even then were able to cope with what was a brand-new battle weapon i When Germans first used chlorine gas in April, 1915, against French and Canadian troops at Ypres, the effects were most imposing.

Of | in gas that was used in 1916. As the offensive use of gas progressed, s0 pro- gressed the defensive means for combating such at- | tacks. As against a fatality rate of 25 per cent in that | first attack, the rate at the end of the war was one | Allied dead out of thirty-six gas casualties. Today, | with Allied troops and British civilians well trained in gas defense, it is probable that the toll would be | much less than that. In the first World War, Russia had the highest | number of casualties as a result of gas attack. Some 470,500 Russian troops were put out of action by this method. Of those casuals, more than 10 per cent died. It is entirely likely, with that record behind | them, that Red leaders now are as well prepared to defend themselves against a repetition of the Ger- man gas operation as are the Allied armies. Not only are the United Nations ready to defend | against possible gas attack: we also are ready to launch such attacks ourselves. In every battle zone our - armies have on hand ample supplies of gases just as deadly as any the Nazi mind, evil as it is, aver has devised. By this threat alone, a good part of Hitler's probable desire to use gas has ‘been discouraged. | Chaplains of Army and Navy will] ance of religious teachings by men and women, especially those who previously have been interested in render extraordinary. service which THE DAILY ALAS‘KA EMP]‘RE—JUNEAU ALASKA ,WWM OCTOBER 23, 1923 John E. Ballaine, well known Alaskan pioneer and railroad builder, leclared that government operation of ships between the coast pointe and Alaska was the only sclution to Alaska’s development program. This leclaration was made at the Advertising Club’s dinner. luring the next twelve months, was to be the most impertant work of he Southeastern Alaska Blue Fox Farmers Association when it held its mnnual convention in Ketchikan, according to H. S. Graves, member of \he Board of Directors, who represented the fox farmers in the Juneau listrict. r In addition to breaking all range records for Springfield rifles during he previous season, the garrison at Chilkoot Barracks broke the world's record for automatic rifles, making an almost perfect record, according 0 members of the post force who visited here. With 36 men on the range, E Company qualified 35 as expert riflemen and one a: sharp- shooter. A six and one-half pound baby gul was huxu to Mr. and Mrs, O. E. Schombel at the St. Ann's Hospital this morning. Dr. L. P. Dawes, the attending physiciah, reported the mother and daughter were doing nicely. W. J. Manahan, Admiral Line agent at Skagway, and Mrs. Manahan, both former residents of this city, were local visitors for a short time while the Admiral Rogers was in port. Lance Hendrickson, former Juneau High School boy, who had been | with a Federal survey party in the Interior during the previous season, arrived on the Alaska this day.
