Yank Overseas Paper Ponders Postwar Plans By MARGUERITE WITTWER (Editor’s note: This is the concluding installment of an article which appeared in Friday’s Emerald.) What to do with Germany after the war? Soldiers overseas may not be as concerned with that question as they are in smashing Germany’s wehrmacht at the present moment, but they do nave opinions on the sub ject. One of the regular columns in Stars and Stripes, the army’s over seas daily newspaper, is “Vox Pop Off’’ written in the inquiring re porter style as published in the New York Daily News where one question is answered by several men. One of the recent questions j^sked was “What shall we do with Germany after the war?’’ The soldiers returned with the following diversified answers: “or ganize the German man power into labor battalions to clean up the messes they made in Europe”: “the Germans look human, maybe we can teach ’em the benefits of a peaceful world”; “educate the Ger man children away from Naziism”; “I don’t believe in subjugation”; “reinstate her as a world power”; “disarm her completely, I for one am tired of military crap”; “put all Germans in custody until they _|£arn to behave like decent peo ple”; “see this monkey suit I’m wearing? I wouldn’t be wearing it if it wasn’t for the Germans. Give them hell when we finally kick the pants off them.” Skirts and Wolves Another Vox Pop-Off question i3 on the lighter side and asks wheth er the soldier find any difference HAND PAINTED t s .WITH ELASTIC Action BAK MORRISON & HENNING 1022 Willamette in the behavior of British girls. Come the answers: “Brooklyn girls are demure and ladies, British girls all want to get married so they act like a bunch of female wolves”; “British girls are picking up lend-lease kissing knowledge”; “anything in a skirt is OK with me”; “I never investigated the subject.” A gripe column in which GIs can air their opinions is called “B-Bag, Blow It Out Here.” News of do ings in Great Britain are given lit tle attention and only played up when it affects the American doughboys. USO camp shows and visiting entertainers are given ade quate publicity. Like the army weekly printed in the United States and in some places overseas, “Yank,” “Stars and Stripes” is written from the GI viewpoint. It is straightforward, has wide coverage, contains a great deal of information and entertain ment, and is not cluttered with civilian advertising, prissy censor ship, and dull conventionality.

In his introduction. Professor Burrell says: "The problem of le employment of men and women now in the arm and war work; the problem of conversion of industry to peacetime production; and the problem of adjustment of the econ omy to a new high level of na tional debt, are matters of great public concern." He contiues: “In the decade of the 1930s, the objective of full em ir ployment of men and women was never realized.” This under-em ployment. period was new to Am erica. Previously, the U.
