' . .Eycrynne who heard Private Peat In his lecture nC the ( hautaiiiun park lii?t night will agree that there was gooil solid substance to whajever he said. His few remarks iinent the re turned soldier's problem in getting tack 'to his furtitor fouling in. civil life miule aside from his muin nildress, will be endorsed by every clear think ing Individual. " -. It is the truth that the men who stayed home to carry on the-woi'k here while the other fellows went-to Pninrc became wonderfully mure- efficient than they had ever been, They had to become so. And the women, many .of them, who took the places of those Who had one to fight, made excellent records in their work the same work which the soldier had performed be fore. That was the duty of the stay-at-homes to 'put more into their jobs, for the work that had to he dime. was fur greater than what they hud done lieforo and there were fewer jif them to do it. Putting more into their work,.lt is natural thut they got more oyt 6f it. In Increased pay, ability nnd promotion they reaped the benefit. Private Pent effectively contrasted the solilter'fl case.- -He worked even hMrder in the service ..than iHd the man or the woman who 'filled his job nt home. Hut commercially-his years of service were n loss, from Hie stand point of finances and the stand alized his sense of initiative It placed him where no personal- responsibility Iny upon him. And coming home, the1 New York City reports-that in many soldier finds he i expected to go back lm of employment theie are already Into-his old job and compete on a more Jobs calling for men thai, liien basis lif efficiency and ability alone to .fill the jobs. It is the same in ninny other cities. In tlu country, as ererylMily knows, the farmers nee eli'inorinir for help. The tide has turned. In fa.-t, it can hardly be sni.l that the iudu'st rial tide jdnrk da.va in Prance. AVhethcr to w a machine ni the nnrty or not, he expected to be a machine in many respects such ,ns this in tlje great in ilustrial army at 1iomeoVarid yet h must so Tat overleap the margining infhiinces of ifrmy life as to have the power of initiative nnd purpose "to enable him til keep pare in the cftm- Wrginl race with the iiiijn Viho hes been givtn through the soltiler s ab sence almost unparalleled .opportunity for'developmcnt of those quajities. Americans should usfk: tjivmselvc-s careflil.ly .whethej- they nre alrea ly rorgelling. .The Canadian government gives the soldier a minimum period of one year to readjust himself to civil life, and pays him during the read justment period at the same rate he was paid in the army. ' Hut tin' Amer ican soldier' does not get that assi:U ance from his government. The peo ple, It SKcms, must in reality bo the government in this case and make up ill consideration to the soldier, prop erly directed nssistnnce and patience what he has lost to the smnll extent Hint is possHdc-what he has lost dur ing the war; The other alternative- to that, says Piivate Peat, is llolshevism. The soldier returns from France with cer tain ideals that he did not lake there with him. This is part of the little bit of good that results -from the war.' lie does not return a koishevisl, but the treatment he receives in too many cases immeiiiaieiy ne Hons ins civics n ml starts to limit work is enough t( make him a Holshevist This is quite plainly America's hi," problem just' now.
