They recognize that our cap- italistic system must be preserved if this country is to go ahead as the great produc- er and pioneer of a higher civilization. They also recognize that ahead as the great producer and pioneer of a higher civilization. They also recognize that the era when human labor could, be treated as machinery, is dead. : _ Industry,cannot nd or ten thousand -§0 st to hire a thou- tel geponsibilit In this new era labot/tanino longer be the hell-raising, capricious child. It too has responsibilities—to capital. ¢ It cannot en- force impossible demands; Jt must turn in real work for real wages. The War Labor Board, for the first time, has ordered that a “guaranteed” full employment clause be inserted in a union contract between a lrage chain shoe store and its 300 salesmen. In other words, the employer in this unprecedented case is hound to furnish employment at specified wages to a specified number of people for 82 weeks—come what may. While this order applies to only one retail organization having many stores, its implications are so far reaching that they affect the smallest as well as the largest business in-the- nation. Every forward-look- ing employer i fiifavor of providing con- tinyous, year-roupd employment to work- ers to the fullest extent possible.” But em= pigyers will not agree that an agehcy of the Federal government should have the Bewer to tell them they must “guarantee” Work to so many men, regardless of con- ditions. No order to “guarantee” full, employ- ment in retail trade will “guarantee” the Wuying habits of consumers. A store un- der such an order might well be forced to limit its employes rather than seek to give fullest possible employment at all times. Full employment cannot be “guaran- teed” by roders forcing employers to sub- sidize labor for which there is no work, thus inereasing cost of production and dis- tribution. ’ ' . Eeonomic security is not a creature of government decree. In thinking of the Europeans and their plight it should be remembered that Most of it is through their own doing. Be- sides, charity begins at home and should stay there. Senator Millard E. Tydings, of Mary- iand, has pointed out that a sound program for governmental finance in the postwar period is imperative when we consider that two-thirds of the total deposits of all banks of every kind in the United States have been lent to our government, and $15 billion of the cash reserves and assets of our life imsurance companies will likewise ‘have been lent to our government. * and remain | ; Representative Bernie C. Papy, in a story in The Citizen today, gives the reason that prompted him to introduce, in the last session of the legislature, the bill, which became a law, directing the Monroe county commissioners to give one-half of the race- track money to the Key West General Hos- pital to be used in its maintenance and-op- eration. “Among the outstanding things in a community that’ we should utmost are the publie-schools ‘andthe’ nicipal’ hospit Mi:Papy’ said, “but’as t apeing the Hospital onlyy let’s that additional money would. mean to that institution.” He then goes on to explain that, with the racettack money, the staff at the hos- pital would be in a position to broaden its scope in the treatment of. charity cases. As matters now are, he explained, the in- stitution is cramped for money, and he takes the position that no municipal hos- pital should be reduced to a state where it has to count the pennies to be able to survive. apo ueeias vs Mr. Papy explains further that the racetrack money, one-half ‘of which now goes to the public schools, is not included in the county’s budget; and is, so to speak, as he says, “money to play wiht’, that is, nd for which no preyious pro- n made. : ead of letting this racetrack Y h really comes ut of the pock- ets of people fromall ever!the country Who play the races,"béused to help‘ the sick and needy in the community, the com- missioners have retained Tallahassee at- torneys to try to have the supreme court declare the law invalid,” Mr. Papy said. “And to try to kill the law, the commis- sioners will spend from $1,500 to $2,000 of the taxpayers’ money. “I can well see how the commissioners would oppose a measure that would take racetrack money from the county to be used for other than a meritorious object, but I can’t see how anybody will object to helping the sick and the needy, as this money would do.” The county now contributes $15,000 annually to the hospital, and the com- issioners take the’ position the county One trouble with news, as'it is retailed in the United States, is that it plays up too many freaks. 3 The $300,000,000,000 that: was, spent for warfare would have wiped out ‘all slums in the cities of the nation, taught cleanliness and beauty to our ‘people and saved thousands of lives because of preven- tive unsanitary conditions. ANOTHER U-BOAT LOCATED The surrender of a Japanese subma- rine to the Argentine navy 102 days after the end of the war in Europe revives spec- ulation as to what the U-boat has been do- ing and whether it was engaged in the transportation of high Nazi officials to unknown lands. re This was the second: U-boat to reach Atgesitind But the first, Wwe-read, is being repaired: under ‘supervision’ of ‘the’ U.S.’ Navy and will be brought to this Country” where the members of the crew have al- ready been transported. When the first German U-boat sur- rendered in July there were reports of oth- ers and the surrender of a second in Aug- ust indicates that there may be _ others. What they have been doing, however, is a mystery but to many Americans they will be connected with some scheme to assist high-ranking Nazis to escape the conse- quences of a lost war. — The most important job before a thankful nation is the creation of jobs for all returning service men; gratitude may be appreciated but men home from the wars must be given the opportunity to make a living for themselves and_ their families. ' r NO OVERNIGHT AFFAIR The success of our stupendous task of reconyersion will not depend, altogether, upon the speed with which the government relinquishes wartime controls. , The economic condition in the United States did not improve overnight. { The same factors that made regulation and control necessary before are! for the most part, existent today.’ It will be weeks and months before anything ‘like’ normal economic conditions can be expected and even this is not at all certain, July evening.

She saw his face was blotched with dark ugly spots. SIMS.

The committee had in mind strategic military factors but did not overlook the possibility’ that the retention of various isl- ands might open up economic possibilities which would permit them to pay a large part of the cost of their maintenance for naval and military purposes. FULL EMPLOYMENT LAW IS MUST LEGISLATION SAYS PRESIDENT TRUMAN President Truman has given his endorsement to the full employ- ment plan, calling it must legis- lation. Hearings have already’ been held on the proposed legislation. On July 30 and 31, sponsors of the measure appeared before the ate: ‘Banking’ and Currency ‘Committee and, even without the presidential endorsement, — the thearings would have been re- sumed as ‘soon as Congréss* Te- assembles.. The purpose of the full-employ- ment bill is to assure a useful and remunerative job to everyone able and anxious to work. This is the antithesis of the belief that the nation must have depres- sions. Economists realize that the widespread suffering and the social and economic costs involv- ed in depressions constitute a dangerous strain upon American society. Under the plan generally dis- cussed, the President is required to ‘submit a national production and employment budget to Con- gress at the beginning of-each regular session. This is to in- clude: 1, The estimated size of the labor force desiring employment. 2. The estimated volume of investment and expenditures nec- essary to give the labor force em- ployment opportunities. 3. An estimate of prospective investment and expenditure by private enferprises, ‘ consumers, State and lacal governments, and the-Federal Government. Should estimated . investment and expenditure be less than the volume deemed necessary to pro- vide employment, the President is called upon to recommend a program to enceurage increased non-Federal investment. and ex- penditure, ence to. private. enterprise, and, e: \if this is deemed. insufficient to . i ent, the plo: am.

They intimate that the people of the nation, having seen full employ-| ment during the progress of two years, as a result of government- al spending, will not sit idle through a major depression, in- volving widespread unemploy- ment. They even intimate that, under such conditions, the people of the nation might turn’ against our so called free enterprise sys- tem and demand more stringent governmntal controls. There has been a widespread idea that the nation will need 60,000,000 postwar jobs to avoid unemployment: This seems an over estimate to Richard M. Boeckel, who thinks the correct figure is between 55 and 56 mil- lion, but he points out that this is about ten million more than ler will leave this evening for Atlanta, where, .after a short stay, they will continue on to New York, Today The Citizen says in an {editorial paragraph: | “We learn from’the experience jot others’ that’ we seldom learn janything from the experience of others.” MISTAKEN IDENTITY “What caused you to beat that ; guy up?” “He insulted my girl”. “Why, all he said was that she ‘danced like a zephyr.” “My mistake!
