After the War
Babson Forecasts New
Washington, D. C, Jan. 8 Next to the spiritual condition of
the nation the full employment of its people is of primary
importance. Under normal conditions about 49,000,000 are
gainfully employed. Today this has gone up to about 55,000,
000; while during the depths of the depression of the 1930s
there were only 35,000,000 so employed with 10,000,000 un
employed walking the streets. Of these, probably 2,500,000
wera unemployable.
No Reason for Panle
When Wlndup Cornea
Without doubt the United
States and Canada will be faced
with a big unemployment prob
after World War II. Not only
will 10,000,000 men be returning
from the army, navy and air
forces to their homes but another
10,000,000 or more now working
in war plants, shipyards, etc,
temporarily at least, will be
thrown out of work. To the av
erase statistician the situation
looks dark and unsolvable. Yet
there is no reason for getting
panicky.
To begin with there will be
a tremendous "consumer de
mand" after the war. People
will stampede for new automo
biles, new refrigerators, new ra
dios and new appliances of all
kinds from kitchen utensils to
farm Implements. Moreover, the
people will have the money and
bonds to pay for these things.
Merchants will again stock up
with goods which means that
manufacturers must quickly
"convert" and re-employ millions
of people.
Capitalism to Face
Self-Governlng Test
During the years directly fol
lowing peace, employers should
forget themselves in order to
save themselves. Many millions
will be tired and sick of ration
ing, price-fixing and government
Inefficiency. The businessmen
will then have a real chance to
throw off the "ball and chains"
which the New Deal has put
upon them. To do this, however,
we employers must assume more
responsibility and must make a
greater effort to give employ
ment than we ever have in the
past.
Unless businessmen do then
wake up and assume leadership,
the free-enterprise system may
get a severe beating. These re
turning soldiers will be In no
mood to see factories needlessly
shut down. Then the Commun
ist and other radicals will come
forward with crazy plans which
will make the New Dralers look
like hard-shelled Republicans
Ves, the unemployment problem
must then fearlessly be met and
solved, or elsel
Need No New Plans
To Prevent Trouble
No new committees need be
formed nor new reports need be
Issued. The files of the Depart
ment of Labor contain volumin
ous studies on how unemnlov
ment can be reduced during a de
pression. These plana range from
raising the school age and art
ting women back Into the homes,
to the quota systems In which I
waa so much Interested ten
years ago. We will not need new
pians lor worn, out ralrier we
will need merely to work the
plans we have.
Here at Washington I have
heard of plans to turn some of
the great government buildings,
now full of clerks. Into a mam
moth National University for re
turning soldiers. These plans also
include branches of this treat
university in different sections
of the country using empty mu
nition planU for school rooms
ana laboratories: while the stu
dents can live In the new houses
now occupied by war workers j
It is estimated that this new Na !

What About
Our Ivy Colleges?
Of course, such a plan will be
fought bitterly both by the old
line endowed colleges like Har
vard, Yale, Princeton, etc., and
also by the state universities
which have great political lnflu
ence. On the other hand, the
thousands of college professors
now working for the government
are behind the plan. My own
guess is that the decisions will be
made, not by those who now
have desk jobs of any kind, but
by those who are now risking
their lives for us in, the four
quarters of the globe.
Vocational Education
Vs. the Cultural
Certainly, after World War II,
college education will be revolu
tionized. Its cost will be greatly
reduced; Its "high hat" attitude
wll be crushed; and the courses
will be too much "mora prac
tical." Personally, I am rather
sorry about the latter. A cul
tural education Is like the foun
dation of a house. A family
which Is building a home should
not spend all its money on the
foundation; but It certainly
should not build without a foun
dation and this should be a good
foundation. With the surplus of
empty buildings and idle ma
chine tools after World War II.
there, however, will be a great
temptation to use many of them
for teaching trades, vocations and
so-called practical subjects.

HALF HOLIDAY FOR
MOST TIN CANS IN
Students Promised Time Off
For Largest Pile of Sal
vaged Containers.
"Hello, Mrs. Housewife. I go
to Junior high school. Do you
h ive any tin cans for the na
tional salvage drive?"
That will be the most popular
talk In Medford next week as
Medford's part in the national
tin can campaign which opens
' "onday and will continue for a
week. Prizes are to be awarded
to the home room and instructor
that brings in the largest amount
of tin cans prepared properly.
The prize will be a half holi
day on a Friday, E. H. Hedrick
stated today. And that is some
thing every school student in
Medford will be working for
during the coming week. He em
phasized, however, that cans not
properly prepared will be re
jected from the contest and will
not count for the room.
How to Prepare
Housewives were instructed
again today in the proper meth
od of preparing tin cans for the
campaign. First remove the la
bel from the can and wash can
thoroughly. Then cut each end
from the can, flatten the can
and insert the ends in the can
and lay aside in a box for collec
tion. When cans are prepared in
this manner they take little stor
age space.
Everyone In the city is expect
ed to be "all-out" in this latest
nation-wide campaign for criti
cal materials. The cans will be
gathered from the schoolhouses
and sent to centers throughout
the nation where critical materi
als will be taken from the cans
to keep the factories and defense
plants in running oruer.

die classes of this middle-class
country.
I think it is the result or inc
oersonal experience of the vast;
masses with government in this
war. Multitudinous regulations
and taxes of centralized Wash-j
ington government, which for-;
merly hit the rich or business,1
have, for the past year, been
hitting every individual. j
Each man has found a new
political doctrine from this per
sonal experience. He has not
merely developed Irritations, but
he has come in contact with cen-!
tralized controls, reforms, "new
ways," and he has developed a
revulsion against centralized
government as an efficient way
of running his democracy. He has
learned the inefficiencies and
inequalities first hand.
...
THE administration has indl-j
cated 26,000 speakers may be
sent out to explain away this
trend. It will do no good. You
cannot explain away by words
something a man already has de
cided from personal experience.
The weight of the press, the
radio and the movies can have;
but little effect one way or an-:
other. If all were abolished to
day, or had been abolished since
the start of the war, the dissatis
faction would be much more
widespread than It is.
Such new political sentiments
always seek a dramatized, outlet
of expressions such as the racial :
problem in the South (it takes
other forms in the East or West)
or jokes about Mrs. Roosevelt
and such comparatively less con
sequential forms.
True, the race problem is crit
ical. A spark may touch it off.
The South is prepared and will
handle the problem in its own
way, regardless of advice or in
terference from other sections,
although the results may be la
mentable for all concerned.
But my point is that even this
problem is based upon personal
experience with domestic help,
high wages, liquor, and, there
fore, beyond argument.
It seems to me the only way
the government can reach and
