FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1945 Do We Want Veterans? Announcement that the Army win reduce its strength by 1,300,000 men in the next year is immediately as sociated with news mat there will be gin a gradual reconversion of indus try to peace-time production, with an estimated increase of 1,500,000 unem ployed in the next year. These facts are taken from a re port made by War Mobilization Di rector Fred M. Vinson, who warns that a great part of our war work ing force must stay on the job and that rationing, high taxes, wage and price ceilings and many other con trols must be maintained until Japan is beaten. Immediately upon the news that Germany had surrendered, there were demands in this country for the speedy return of fighting men, but, so far as we have noted, little dis cussion of the economic situation that will confront men released from active service. The figures given by Judge Vinson indicate that returning veterans will not step from the ranks into waiting jobs and that in the shuffle for employment, some of them may not find immediate op portunity. This is a tragic spectacle, regard less of the reasons assigned. Thou sands of men who have faced the enemy in battle and risked their lives for the nation will soon arrie in this country. They will be anxious to gather again the lost threads of their peace-time existence and eager to find for themselves a place in the economic arrangement by which men seek to earn a living for themseles and their families. Every community and business en terprise in the nation is indebted to these fighting men for continued ex istence and relative safety. Out of the emergency of the war, the nation as a whole and business enterprises as -separate entities have reaped benefits in the way of definite finan cial rewards. It is obvious, therefore, that strenuous efforts should be made to provide employment for returning service men. The problem cannot be solved by leaving it to industrial cen ters and to r'sf business generally, or to the (.ocr.ment. It must be at tacked everywhere. Every Imieis : 1 jl.1i1 lit-.: litely attempt to provide e nploymn.t for veterans. Exemt ve management, which is supi osed to bo the brains of economic enterprise, im;st u.;e its intelligence and be prepared, if ne cessary, to take some risks in the way of expansion in order to provide the jobs necessary. Perquimans County has seen hund reds of her sons go forth to war. They have departed with the thought in mind that, some day, they would come back home to live the life they planned before the war began. Mili tary service broke into their exist ing arrangements, other people have occupied their places of employment and they now face, upon their return home, some anxiety as to their eco nomic status. Throughout the United States there arc countless organizations of busi ness men seeking to attract outside capital and new industries for the purpose of providing jobs and pay rolls. Many of us overlook the asset that Perquimans County has in her sons and the tremendous economic gains that will be made if they can be persuaded to cast their future lots in their former places of a'oode. It is time for some SDecifie arHn designed to make it possible and profitable for returning service men to resume their permanent residence here. What, if anything, is Hertford going to do?
