KERVJCE MEN JOBS ARE URGED
PRESIDENT Eric A Johnston of the National
Chamber calls on all member organizations to take
every step required to facilitate re-employment of
,service men. be it through creation of a special
committee, participation in local clearing house
setups,, or other activity.
In a New Year greeting to member organiza
tions, Mr. Johnston says that one of our immediate
problems—a problem that will grow—is that of
finding yobs , for men discharged from the armed
forces. Asserting that the combined thought and
efforts of all groups will be .required to provide vo
cational guidance and training that will help place
men and women in positions to which they are
adapted, he said: , ... . ,
“Your approach to this problem will, of course*
be in accordance with your local situation, which
may suggest several methods of! procedure—a spe
cial committee, parficipaiton iry your clearing house
committee set-up. or other activities The point is
that all our-.organization manpower and brain
power should be fully .utilized to facilitate the re
employment of our service men.
It will get down finally to the ability of in
dividual employers to provide jobs. Certainly it
would help build the morale of our soldiers and
stabilize home front attitudes if every employer
who could do so were to make known now to for
mer employees of his in the service that a place
awaits them upon their return. My businesses are
such that I have been able to send such a letter,
saying that I hope they are planning to come back
and pick up their work where they left it.
Mustering-out pay will be helpful as a tide
over, but what the returning veteran wants is a
oroductive job, Mr. Johnston asserted, adding that
it is at that point that business men and their or
ganizations enter the picture. A number of gov
ernmental agencies already are at work, and local
"ommittees are to be created on which local organ
izations will want to be represented.
STATES CUTS DEBTS
THE YEAR just closed was one of the most
orosperous in history for state governments. For,
the states invested $1.5 billion of surplus funds
in federal bonds and decreased gross indebtedness
by nearly $1 billion, making a reduction of 17.5
per cent since 1940. They effected economies and
improved administrative processes without inter
fering with war efforts.
Similar reports come from a number of cities.
Lansing, Mich., for example, ended the year free
of any overlapping county and school debt; its own
bonded debt was only $215,800; the city treasurer
set a new record of 100 percent collection or per
sonal property taxes on the July roll; 97.7 per cent
of the current real property tax levy was collected
jy November 30.

toy Phyllis Argali (Macmillan;

Nobody could accuse Phyllis
Argali of turning out a “quickie”
on Japan, since she came to Amer
ica on the “Gripsholm” with Am
bassador Grew and the first con
tingent of repatriates.. , and her
book is. only just appending, Nor
could aryoody accuse her. of cap
italizing on a brief stay in Japan,
since she has lived there most of
her life. Perhaps Jh^fpct. that
she how lives in St, Loui$. one of
the middle cities of this lane}, also
has influenced her point of view.
She is definitely calm, and "My
Life With the Enemy" gains, from
the c;rcumstahCe.
So does. the. fact that she ar

fives at the conclusion reached by
most other writers. Here it is:
“We date- not underestimate
our enemy She is as strong as
we are economically. She. is still
stronger spiritually. .
‘‘We must carry the wfhr 40 her
doors, behind her Pacific bul
warks. We must do it immediate
ly before she has tim^,.fujly to
consolidate her gains, before... she
Can take advantage of the tremen
dous resources of oil “of"'tin. of
hemp, of rubber, and "of ship
• building facilities which she stole
from us and our allies. Time is
‘ one of the mightiest weapons she
can have, if we allow her to have
it.”
Miss Argali thinks Japan will
suggest peace, iF anything like a
military stalemate is reached and
that we must at all costs and
. against all temptation refuse
peace. ’
‘‘Any peace she might be al
lowed,” writes Miss Argali, “she
would use simply and solely to
recoup her losses, strengthen her
defenses, increase her reserves, so
that sh might one day attack
again. And in that day thare
would be no talk talk of peace
until she could dictate it, in all
the ferocity her Asiatic mind
could conceive.”
Miss Argali’s experience in
cludes everything from grammar
school to editing an English lan
guage paper in Japan. At one
point her foster-father ran an in
dependent mission, at another she
herself tried to be headmistress
of a mission school in Formosa.
All the time her home was Japan,
which gave her a different status
and a different viewpoint from
that of the usual wandering jour
nalist or diplomat, besides enricV
;ing the book she has taken her
time about writing.

Communications
Dear Editor:
There are two sides to every
question and I believe that a re
cently published communication is
in some ways unjust.
It is only fair that the Natives
should be included in community
affairs where money is raised to
support the playfield, tennis court,
prizes for dog races, etc., in which
more Natives than Whites actual
ly benefit. The Whites give their
time and effort free so that Na
tives as well as Whites may bene
fit.
The theatrg is a private institu
tion and has the right to makegts
own house rules and until the Na
i tive people as a whole live up to
; public health standards, it would
be hard for the management to
; change their present system even
I though some of the Natives them
selves do not like to sit next to
“odoriferous” persons.
I therefore, suggest that those
of the Native group who are in
telligent enough to complain and
criticize, start working from
within the Native population, raise
their own standards and earn the
right for which they are asking.

Dear Editors and Readers:
It was our profitable pleasure to
; listen in at your first Monday
| evening Forum. For discussion
t was the global matter of what
I punishment we should mete out
over those responsible for the
present war. We noted how some
would first have settled the im
portant question of WHO REALLY
ARE RESPONSIBLE for the war.
But the able Moderator humor
ously held participators fairly to
THE TOPIC ALLOWED.
Appropos, maybe, that is not so
unreasonable—to want to know
WHAT and WHO we really are up
against. Insofar as we have a
ballot, and if w*e have not right
ly used that ballot, may we not
see a co-responsible party by tak
ing a good look in a mirror?
Next was the question: “What
part the Axis powers shall be al
lowed to have in the post-war
BISHOP CRIMONT HONORED
ON HIS 86TH BIRTHDAY
Special celebrations were held
in Juneau today in honor of Most
Rev. Joseph R. Crimont, bishop
of the Catholic Church in Alaska,
who celebrated his 86th birthday,
it was announced by the Catholic
Church here today.
Bishop Crimont was born in
France in 1858 and 16 years later
entered the Society of Jesus. He
was ordained priest by Cardinal
Gibbons on August 26, 1888.
He arrived in Alaska 50 years
ago and became Superior of the
Holy Cross Mission. He was ap
pointed Prefect Apostolic of
Alaska in 1904 and has been the
ecclesiastical superior of the
Catholic Church since that date,
world.” We understand the “Axis
powers” to be the Nazis and Fac
ists, in Europe and Asia. Have
not our big Ones, Two’s, Three’s
and Four’s, with their juntas of
aspiring smaller fry, in times and
places, decreed that this war shall
be fought to a finish of uncondi
tional surrender for the Germans
and Japanese. Have we not heard
the echoes from rostrum and press,
totally eradicating Nazism and
Facism root, stock and branches.
Is there really some AUSE be
hind Nazism and Fascism—a
cause that also must be eradicated
to insure a reasonable peace?
Can any ideologies exist without
ideologists? Does history teach us
how attempts have been made to
destroy ideologies, religious and
other kinds, by destroying the
people holding those ideologies?
Does both history and experience
give us a clear answer? Are not
j we, as an American Republic, a
; living answer?
| Was it said, introducingly, at
, the the first Forum, that
I meetings are held all over "the
land, so that the people can make
| known, to the powers-to-sit-at-the
peace table, what the people want.
But if THOSE POWERS have al
ready individually and mutually
settled these questions, why are
these Forums held? Is it politics
world politics? Have the leaders
run away from the people so far
that they feel it politic to ease up
on the separating distances? Is it
to make “the common man” feel
and believe that he, after all, has
something to say about it? Did
, this Forum idea originate with
“the common people”—so that
THE POLITICIANS BEHIND
THE SCENES are entirely inno
cent?
