For instance, ihe repo: yout lead- ing Jap industrialists having started a mevement to bring about peace originated in Japan itsel?. It was not till Radio Tokyo told the story about the suppcsed move by the indus rialists, oniy to ‘eny it, that the outside wor'd became aware of it. uch reports show the sneak is at work again, but he will not cu-ceed in fooling ither the Americans or the British.

These facts are taken from a report made by War Mobilization Director Fred M, Vinson, who warns that a great part of our war working force must stay on the job and that rationing; high taxes, wage and price ceilings and many other controls must be maintained until Japan is beaten. Immediately; upon the ‘news that Ger- many had surrendered, there were de- mands in this country for the speedy re- turn of fighting men, but, so far as we have noted, little diseussion of the eeonomie sit, uation that will comfort men released from. active service. The figures given by Judge Vinson in- licate that returning veterans will not step trom the ranks into waiting jobs, and that n the shuffle for employment, some of them may not find immediate opportunity. _ This is a tragic spectacle, regardless of he reasons assigned.

The prob- 'em cannot be solved by leaving it to indus- trial centers and to big business generally, | ; or to the government. It must be attacked everywhere. . Every business should definitely at- |" tempt to provide employment for veterans.
