Private Peat On Receiving
., . , the Soldier.. '
. .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. H is true that i"-

is doubts any longer that tile United

Theio is Die money, nnd there is the
market. Tliere are more good work
men here than anywhere else in the
world. The only possible limitation in
sigjit is that rven theSe millions of en
ergetic nnd intelligent woilvmen will
not suffice to meet the demand.
