Full Employrent
PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S emphasis on the need.
for full employment is commendable, but the
question is -- Will he be able to bring about this
full employment with the forces of the press,
bankers, manufacturers, native fascist groups
and members of Cpngress pulling in the opposite
direction?
A vast propaganda campaign is under way to
sabotage the Murray-Wagner-Patman Full
Employment Bill which will come before Con-
gress when it convenes in a few weeks. If these
strong forces have their way, and they wield a
great deal of influence, the objectives of Roose-
velt andWallace will neverberrealized.
The war has shown that there can beobs
for all, yet there are those who claim that this
will be impossible in peacetime. Newsweek. June
18, called the Full Employment Bill the "Fool"
Employment Bill. National Association of Man-
facturers' president, Robert Gaylord, when ad-
dressing an AFL forum in April, 1944, termed
jobs-for-all "a dream planner's paradise." In
the New York Journal American of June 13, a
cartoon appeared showing the American Eagle
looking into a trap with the bait in the form of
a bag of gold, called full employment. The trap
itself was labeled, "Foreign dictatorship of
America's internal affairs."
Senators Vandenberg of Michigan and Con-
nally of Texas fought a successful battle against
the inclusion of full employment in the San
Francisco Charter.
Full employment is neither a dream plan nor
a fool one. It is the natural goal toward which
we must strive in order to prevent what many
groups desire - a float of a few million un-
employed. We must fight against these cam-
paigns to prevent .obs-for-all and realize that
if we do not have full employment we will have
failed on the national scene while we succeed-
ed internationally.
-Lynne Sperber
It's All Over
T'S ALL OVER but the shooting, we might
say of World War II.
That it is difficult to get word of the end
of the war to troops fighting on far-flung
fronts we realize. But the delay in getting an
envoy to MacArthur in Manila we cannot un-
derstand.
After four-and-a-half days of "watchful wait-
ing" the United States finally received word
that Japan had accepted surrender terms. This
delay is a point against Japan.
Enemy bombers took action over Okinawa just
a few hours after the first surrender offer had
been sent by Japan. This is a second point.
It was almost 24 hours after the final sur-
render note had been received that Hirohito is-
sued his order to "cease fire." This is a third
point.
Today we learn that the envoy can't quite
make it to Manila by the appointed time. And
so we have a fourth point.
And we wonder - we remember the atomic
bomb and the Japanese boast that they had
one, too. And we remember the Japanese prom-
ise of a 100 years war "to free Asia from West-
ern dominance."

And we wonder what MacArthur has been do-
ing in the Philippines. We've read few official
communiques. We've only heard rumors that
the liberal elements and the underground forces
are being suppressed to make way for fascists

NOTES ON TWO ARMISTICES - "The tu-
mult and the shouting dies, the captains
and the kings depart. . ." Vivid memories of
people rejoicing; happy people, delirious people
..telephone books and ticker tape.. horns, horns
and more horns. . . the White House, stately,
aloof, majestic, glowing with lights. . . the State
Department dark. . . the coded mesages have
all been sent. . . sailors kissing pretty girls,
strange girls. , . immaculate, sprightly, spotless
Jimmy Byrnes going into the State Department
. . . surging humanity, surging over the side-
walks, spilling over the sidewalks, dancing in
the streets.. . soldiers singing: "When the war
is over we will all enlist again-like heck we will."
.. back on my desk a letter from an old class-
mate, his boy lost in action.
Philadelphia in 1918 - Dim memories of
people milling around. .; the armistice came
early in the morning giving us all day to mill
... people got a little tired of milling... Then
there was the premature "Roy Howard" ar-
mistice so people celebrated twice. It took the
edge off things. . . The whistles began blowing
while we were out drilling. People came up to
tell us the war was over . . . seemed funny
not to have anything more to drill for. Like
the bottom had dropped out of things . . . the
fellows who had been selected for officer's
training school at Camp Lee, Va., were sore.
It was a dirty trick, the war ending when it
did . . . everybody else was happy. No more
wars . . . the war to end wars. The war to
save democracy."
Lafayette Square, 1945 - Sailors kissing pretty
girls . . . telephone books and ticker tape . . .
stalled street cars . . . two American Legion vets
in uniform. solemn vets, in beautiful blue and
gold, brilliant uniform,mstanding in the stalled
street car. . . "Remember 1918? . . Remember
when you and I did this in Paris? We never
thought we would have to do it again." "What
d'ya think? Will we have to celebrate another
armistice 20 years from now?" . . Solemn vets,
older vets, in blue-gold, brilliant uniforms . . .
Back on my desk, the letter from Barney, still
waiting for his son, still waiting since last No-
vember . . . missing in action near Moerdijk,
Holland . . . how can.I answer him? What can
I possibly write to him? If we could only make
certain that this would end all wars, that would
be at least some consolation to Barney - . .
Can't seem to forget Alfred Noyes' words in the
last war: "We who lie here have nothing left
to pray. To all your praises we are deaf and
blind. We may not even know if you betray our
hopes to make earth better for mankind."
Pennsylvania Avenue - Military police al-
most crushed by the crowds . . . a sailor tak-
ing down "No Parking" signs . . . a soldier
wearing a WAVE's hat ... a War Department
stenog singing: "I'm going back to Topeka,
to sleepy, good old Topeka. I I-o-v-e Wash-
ington, big, bad, wicked Washington, but the
war's over and I'm going back home." . . .
Jimmy Byrnes, immaculate, spotless, spright-
ly, coming out of the State Department . - .
Wonder if he knows the eyes of Barney's
dead son are watching him . . . a million cas-
ualties. A million pairs of eyes watching Jim-
my Byrnes. Does he know they're watching
him? When he goes to London for the meet-
ing of foreign ministers, when he goes to Rio
de Janeiro to sit with Latin American leaders,
they will be watching him, praying for him,
hoping for his success... John McCrae's words
still ringing from the last war: "If ye break
faith with us who die, we shall not sleep . .."
Telephone books and ticker tape . . . paper,
paper, ankle deep . . . hectic crowds, hilarious
crowds, happy crowds . . . military police forced
to retreat behind White House gates . . . the
dark and gloomy State Department . . . ma-
jestic, stately White House.
A radio blaring forth: "Hirohito broadcasts
to people: 'We declared war on America and
Britain out of our sincere desire to ensure Ja-
pan's self-preservation and the stabilization of
East Asia, it being far from our thought either
to infringe upon the sovereignty of other nations
or to embark upon territorial aggrandizement'."
Sounds different from Hirohito's speech right
after Pearl Harbor.
But what a job for our military governors!
What a job for our State Department! . . . How
can we reach down to the very roots of the Jap-
anese psychology? . . . There are some good

people in Japan. Some of the more fearless spent
the war in jail. They opposed the war lords ...
Some followed the war lords into battle because
that was their religion, their whole training.
They knew no better. . . How can we change
that? . . How can we undo that training? . . Will
we spend the money? Will we pick the men?
Alfred Noyes' words from the last war still ring-
ing: "We have heard men say when we were
living that some small dream of good would cost
too much; but, when the foe struck we have
watched you giving and seen you move the
mountains with one touch."
Sailors kissing pretty girls . . . millions of
eyes - beseeching, imploring - reaching out
to Jimmy Byrnes, immaculate, spotless Jimmy
Byrnes, following him as he goes to London
... we have seen men move mountains in war,
will he move mountains in peace? . . . A fine
man, an able man, but he has only two .weeks
before he goes to London, two weeks in which
to get fresh life and blood into the dark and
gloomy State Department . . . Will he leave
behind the old gang who were fooled by Hiro-
hito's soothing syrup before Pearl Harbor? . .

will he be fascinated by the charming gentle-
men who failed to see the significance of Fran-
co? .. will he pump in fresh blood from men
who fought the war, who won the war, who
suffered In foxholes? . . will he get transfu-
sions from those who understand the Sermon
on the Mount?
Sailors kissing pretty girls, strange girls .
telephone books and ticker tape . . . the Sermon
on the Mount! What would happen if we tried
it in our foreign relations? Hitherto other na-
tions have been only too glad to watch another
nation try it out. But when we've tried it with
Latin American nations it's usually worked.
We've made them pretty good neighbors . . .
And if we don't get along with each other in
this day of atomic bombs, we're finished any-
way, so we can afford to be revolutionary.
We can afford to try what no one has ever
really dared try since the days of Christ . . . if
we fail now . . . if Jimmy Byrnes fails in London,
in the State Department, in Japan . . . a million
pairs of eyes are watching him. A million pairs
of hands are stretched out to help him. . . "And
while you deck our graves you shall not know
how many scornful legions pass you by." . . .
"When the foe struck we have watched you giv-
ing and seen you move the mountains with one
touch." . . "Short days ago, we lived, felt dawn
and sunset glow." . . "What can be done we
know. But have no fear! If you fail now, we
shall not see nor hear."
"The tumult and the shouting dies, the cap-
tains and the kings depart . . ." A great war
is won. A greater opportunity lies ahead.

MEMORIAL:
Community Need
COMMUNITIESthe nation over are beginning
the planning of living memorials to the sol-
diers who have fought and will soon be returning
and even more to those soldiers who won't be
returning. Some comunities have extensive plans
laid out, while other communities have given the
matter little thought.
Here in Ann Arbor a decision must be made
soon as to what should be constructed and when.
It would be very desirable for this project to be
constructed as soon as possible, so that it could
fit in with the general public works program to
employ those people who will be temporarily un-
employed because of the transition to peace-
time production.
The problem of selecting a memorial is indeed
a difficult one, but to the students who have
come to Ann Arbor from cities all over the coun-
try, the lack of any swimming facilities is es-
pecially evident. During recent weeks of humid
weather, a. community outdoor swimming pool
would have been the recreational center of Ann
Arbor.
The construction of such a pool would be a
fitting tribute to those who have brought us vic-
tory. It is a memorial that would be appreciated
more each year, because of the need that it
would satisfy.
The wheels should be set in motion now to
provide, such a memorial.

BY WILLIAM S. GOLDSTEIN
(OLF IS SUCH A SIMPLE, homely little game;
< its object is so obvious, and all that you need
to succeed is a club and very little conscience.
It l'eminds us of Ann Arbor. You can play on
Saturday afternoons - we played Wednesday
last.
For the benefit of those who are not familiar
with the game we have defined a few of the
terms used in golfing.
opponent: one who can count your strokes
as well as you can.
two-some: your word is as good as his.
four-some: you can never get a good score
with three people watching you.
caddie: your partner in crime.

handicap: honest caddie.
fairway: you have to be a professional to
win this way.
tee: where the fun begins.
tee-hee: an appropriate remark when your
opponent misses his shot.
green: four misses, two kicks and one long
throw from the tee.
*, ,*
We were playing in a four-some Wednesday,
and we had a rather trying time. We were top-
ping all our drives, and turning our ball over
didn't seem to help. We played 36 holes, ROUGH-
LY speaking. It took us 18 strokes for one hole
alone: 17 ordinary ones, and one apoplectic. We
don't specialize in any particular shot, but
Scotch and soda is one of our favorites.
Our partner, a dentist, only played 18 holes
--he had filled 18 the day before. One of our
opponents had a perfect 36. She was a model
who came up to Ann Arbor for the day. Our
other opponent went around in 81. We weren't
even born in 1881.

r HE NAVY'S program to eliminate
racial discrimination is "so far
ahead of the Army's that it's not
even funny."
So spoke Lester B. Granger, exec-
utive secretary of the National Ur-
ban League, after a tour of 12 Navy
stations throughout the country.
lie concluded that the policy was
"honestly and intelligently admin-
istered" and found "rather a lively
and sincere interest in making the
policy successful." The top offic-
ers are "proud of what they have
achieved."
As for the reception in the ranks,
Granger reported that the "squawk-
ing" over the non-segregation policy
was not serious. The men had the
feeling "we're all in the Navy togeth-
er"
The reaction of one white sailor was
typical of the Southerners:
"I'd rather stay with my own
people. But I hunk next to a

Negro; he leaves me alone and I
leave him alone, and so it's all
right."
Aside from this traditional preju-
dice in the ranks, the policy has
been successful along several lines.
Two years ago, Negroes in the Navy
were restricted to serving as stew-
ards; now they may hold any posi-
tion but that of aviation pilot and a
combat post on submarines. Neither
are Negroes in general service limited
to one or two vessels but are being
assigned to auxiliary craft up to 10
per cent of the ships' crew. Segre-
gation has been eliminated in mess
halls and in recreational facilities,
but Negroes and whites still have
separate barracks.
Granger also pointed out that
Negroes are now being trained as
commissioned officers. Previously,
they were barried from commis-
sions, whatever their training or

experience. A Michigan graduate,
Henry A. Martin Jr., was one of
the first sworn in as an ensign.
(See picture page 4).
In contrast with this advanced
Navy program is the Army policy.
Negroes are grouped together in units
-such as the all-Negro paratrooper
company and the famed 92nd. In
some camps the post exchange clerks
refuse to sell anything to Negroes,'
who are addressed as "niggers."
One soldier brought up in the
North and stationed in the South
wrote to the New Republic:
"We are all ready and willing to
do our part to win the war, but at
least we should get some kind of
consideration."
He asked this poignant question,
"If we are kicked around now, dur-
ing the war, what will happen after
the war?"
