The strain.of service has done it
and they are unaware of what has
taken place within them. Mostly those
around them at home are similarity
unaware.
That's where the rub comes.
eminent psychiatrist points
out that something of the same na
ture has happened to great numbers
of civilians. Many have been sent far
from home they have been under
the long strain of steady rush work
they have accumulated worries. They,
too, off key.

There is a home problem coming,
piling up as the men and women of
the services come home.
In some cases solution will come
easily in other not so easily.
We have two main types of home
comers, those who come back through
what are known as administrative
channels, the other- through medical
channels.
The medical cases are cared for in
service hospitals. Already the psychi
atric facilities are over-taxed.
But there are among those who look
well and seemingly are well, a per
centage of men and women who are
somewhat out of tune, or off key,
mentally.
we have two major groups, each
with a greater or less degree of men
tal mal-adjustment.
Nothing like it has ever happened
before.
Unions, being organized bodies,
with facilities for reaching large num
bers of individuals, can help meet the
needs of the time in this very iai
portant field.
If you ask a good doctor what's
to be done he probably will say that,
for the great masses of people the
things to be done are few and sim
ple.
But they are extremely important.
First in order is that vague thing
called "understanding".
To use more than just that one word,
let us call it patience, tolerance, and
a very high and keen regard for the
wishes of others.
The returnee is not to be regarded
as either a freak or a hero.
If he doesn't want to talk, let him
remain quiet. If he wants to be alone,
at least appear to permit him to be
alone.
Let HIM be the guide to YOUR
conduct.
That's a pretty safe rule for the
average civilian to follow. And it goes
for the returning worker just as it
does the returning service man, or
woman.
One doctor tells the returnee
likes to find his own quarters as they
were. Familiar things seem to have
great importance.
It would be a good idea for unions
to have talks by psychiatric authori-

We are told that it is possible for
us to have a considerable volume of
permanent mental unbalance unless
the situation is handled with some
degree of intelligence.
That makes it important for all of
us.
Where men are injured so that the
injury is visible, there is another kind
of situation, in the sense that it re
quires more tact and more self con
trol on the jp&rt of the home folks.

All in all, we have something to be

OFFICIAL HOLDS SMALL
BUSINESS VITAL TO
JOBS AFTER THE WAR
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Wayne
Taylor, Undersecretary of Commerce
championed small business as vital to
postwar employment, in speaking at
the opening session of a series an
management aid for small business in
the Department of Commerce auditor
ium.
"We must have a thriving small
business population if we are to reach
our postwar employment goal," Taylor
said. "It is estimated that 3 million
returning service men and women will
go into business and agriculture for
themselves at the close of the war.
"To obsorb the additional workers
we must expand business from 30 to
45 percent in the years immediately
after the war as compared with the
1940 level."
Taylor recognized that uncertain
ties and difficulties of the reconver
sion period lie ahead and he pledged
full cooperation of the Department of
Commerce in aiding the proprietors of
small business. At the present time
he said, the Department is issuing
pamphlets to help those launching in
to small business and is anxious for
personal conferences with those con
templating such ventures.

AFL PLEDGES
MILLION DOLLARS
INWARRONDS
New Orleans.—In ft nation-wide
radio broadcast/ AFL President Wil*
liam Green pledged that the 7,000,000
members of the American Federation
of Labor will buy a $1,000,000 worth
of war bonds during, the current sixth
war loan drive.
Mr. Green spoke at a tally of con
vention delegates and union repre
sentatives at the Hotel Roosevelt. He
said:
"The 7,000,000 members of the
American Federation of Labor, repre
sented here by their union leaders,
responded to their country's urgent
call by pledging to invest every pos
sible dollar of their earnings and sav
ings in war bonds during the sixth
war loan drive which opens tonight.
'Our loyal American workers have
given their sons to fight in the cause
of freedom they have given their toil
and their genius, and many have given
their lives too, while serving as sol
diers in the army of production on
the home front. It is unthinkable that
they should hold back their dollars,
especially now when every ounce of
extra effort and every last penny of
idle money is vitally needed to deal
Hitler the final, crushing blow.
"Most workers do not have large
sums left over their weekly wages
after paying household expenses in
these days of high living costs. But
remember—every bit we remit is a
hit against Hitler. Let that be la
bor's slogan in this drive.
"Already the small individual
amounts regularly invested in war
bonds by the men and women of labor
under the payroll allotment plan have
mounted uf to the staggering total of
$14,000,000,000. So don't think your
purchases, modest as they may be, do
not count. A millionaire may be able
to make a large and spectacular bond
investment. But there aren't many
millionaires. The small baby bonds
purchased by millions of workers add
up to much more important money
than the few big investors can muster.
"Just think of it. If each and every
member of the American Federation
of Labor will buy at least one $100
bond during this drive, the total would
be $7,000,000. But let us set our sights
higher than that. Let's aim at a $1,
000,000,000 quota for the AFL. We
can and must reach it.
"So let the word go out from this
mass meeting in New Orleans, where
the 6th annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor is in
progress, that labor will proudly do its
part and make its full contribution
toward the defeat and destruction xf
Hitler."
