NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Fourth Avenue Blde., Sea Wash, o Newspapers, 1411 "THE ROBOT BOMB The U. S. Army now is conducting experiments with a robot bomb patterned after the Nazi weapon which has been used with such destruction on Eng- land, but reports that the American model will be distinct in its directional control The German weapon destrs at random, hitting homes, civilians, military objectives and empty fields with equal inaccuracy. Our engineers hope to be able to direct the American model to selected targets. | Reports of the experimental bomb mentioned | speeds up to 600 miles an hour but facts on dlst:\m‘es: flown remain secret.

But this term is a rather nbiguous one. For | example, in a recent Brookings study concerned with national income, the author made the assumption that there would be “reasonably fully employment” in 1947. He then went on to point out that this would mean that “something like three millions would nor- mally not be working.” Included in this large group | “some unemployables, those out because of illness, the seasonally unemployed, and those in the process of shifting from one job to ancther. It ms certain that there would be a} labor float” du to such factors as those outlined | above, even at times of maximum employment. | A number of other questions may be raised in| | connection with the meaning of this term. Is full | employment based upon a forty-hour week? Or, if | there were substantial unemployment at that number | |of hours, would an attempt be made to secure “full | employment” by reducing the working week to thirt; five hours or evi ss? Does full employment mean a worker at any Or does it mean that workers | are located in those jobs where they can make their maximum contribution to production—and how can| this be determined? Depending upon which of these two assumptions is made, the aggregate volume of f | production would be widely different and so would the |real incomes of our peaple. The fact that “full em- would be protracted | weltare is also evident from the fact that even a | primitive economy has full employment. | Are we to consider our labor force fully occupied | if part of it is engaged in make-work projects, such | {8s a new WPA? Would employment on extended | public works projects be considered as desirable as | work in private employment? Does full employment | ,mean a job for everyone who wants to work? What ; | about those persons who were past 40 before the war | and who had difficulty obtaining jobs? Recently | they have been considered as a welcome addition to our labor force. What about after the war? | Moreover, what time period shall be used to de- | termine whether or not there is full employment? AL; certain times of the year there is a large volume ur[ ceasonal employment in agriculture, retail stores, tex- | tile trades and others. At other times many of these workers are unemployed or work only part time. Are for a! what constitutes full | fifty weeks, or some lesser | period of a year?

The answer could be that certain of the leaders, notably Gandhi, ‘might be freed uncon= ditionally in order to attend the conference. The British may even be searching for a good excuse to release Gandhi, for the struggle between him and the Viceroy is over with honors for both—the Viceroy has maintained his pres- tige; Gandhi has carried out his protest against the Government by his successful fast, and has come back into the limelight. “There is nothing new in my suggestion, except the method of approach to the problenj The British have already announced | their willinghess to grant freedom to India after the war, if the In- dians have agreed among them- selves as to'its form.
