March 10, 1944 As a political slogan, the phrase, "Full Employment," has undoubted merit. It can be used as a plank in any political platform, and few hecklers would be unkind enough to insist that a speaker furnish an exact definition. At present, statisticians seem to agree that we have nearly full employment. In other words, a job of some kind is available for everyone who is able and willing to work, and fortunately for our war production, those who are neither willing nor able are in the minority. Yet this degree of full employment has been attained by putting countless thousands of workers into positions that they would not have chosen for themselves. Few of our temporary soldiers, even though volunteers, have any intention of makinrr soldiering their lifetime profession, Many yet neither Mr. Coldwell nor Mr. Winch has gone so far as to guarantee that everyone -will have the kind of jobs he wants nor are they very specific. Even in normally good times, it is not unusual for many of our brightest university graduates to emigrate to the United States because there is insufficient demand for their services in their native land. In the early nineteen-thirties, men of excellent education were frequently forcd to accept lowly jobs, unsuited to their training and ability. A promise of full employment on the wartime scale is misleading. It cannot be fulfilled even if citizens are willing to surrender direction of their own lives to National Selective Service or some similar department in perpetuity. Politicians who are not Socialists should be cautious with their promises. Governments, by their economic policies, can influ ence conditions so as to ecourage or discourage business activity and expansion and with them the general increase or decrease of employment. The politician who promises more is throwing a boomerang, which he may not be able to dodge. ' "Full employment" is a snare and a delusion. It means merely that everyone must be on a payroll, and that isn't true even today. But high employment is feasible. High employment means, that virtually everyone able and willing to work can find a job. j Wc can now deliver your coal orders. Please ;fjive us three days warning before delivery ex-I peeled. ALBERT & McCAFFERY LTD. PHONE 116 and 117 ACTIVITIES OF Y.M.CA. and Y.W.C.A. (By DOROTHY GARBUTT) Saturday evening the boys and BlrU at Group Headquarters R.C.A.F. are holding a fun fair and carnival In aid of the Red Cross. It Is open to all the services and admission is by ticket nt the door. So when you're all steamed up over what in the world to do Saturday evening Inet rrn nut thoi AnanH frcolv Will be meeting another train tonight from the east coast with stretcher cases. Have met five i or my old boys here . . . Saw j i be complete exhibition of Karsh I portraits here last week they j are being shown in Toronto this ! week. Head In one report where Lord Louis Mountbatten wui voted the Number One Ladles' Pin-up Man. "Ah." I thought, "You are too late Dorothy Gar-butt voted him that long a go I" So I did! So I did! Way back- on January 23, according to th I elected him the because everything is for the ,"raP Red Cross. Tonight the Navy Is giving a big dance for the Red Cross it the Drill Hah. The public 1$ invited to attend and tickets are to be had at the door. I think it would be a good Idea to get there early and ba sure of your ticket because theie is always a crowd at the Navy dance. Do you remember Captain Sie-bert. the padre at the Eleventh Avenue Camp? He left here about a month ago, thinking he was on his way oversea. But sc? what h s: vs In a letter I received from him: "Gue.ss I counted my chickens before they were hatched at least I'm not on my way over as jet and I'm not at Kingston was there only four hours and on to Ottawa. The work here is quite dlffeient dealing mostly temporary civil servants are looking forward to the repatrlates ,rom day wnen tney can reiurn to cneir pre-war uusiness-es. Women munition-workers and bus-drivers will desert the lathe and the steering-wheel, giving up their right to an individual pay envelope in order to claim ninety per cent of a husband's weekly earnings. Full employment, as we know it, comes about because the Government is the great employer. In addition to direct employees in the armed forces and civil service, the Government is really the employer of workers in war industries, of many workers in factories partly engaged in war work, of extra workers in transportation services, even of clerks and stenographers in those sections of accounting departments that are fully engaged in keeping track of. taxes. It may be admitted at once that no immediate thj-eat of unemployment looms for the last-named class; but any politician who promises full employment for the others is actually promising that his party, if returned to power, will underwrite the employment of the masses of direct and indirect government employees who will be looking for new jobs on the proclamation of peace. The Socialists, whose program includes taking over all large industries at once and the smaller enterprises as quickly as they find it expedient to do so, can promise full employment with some consistency. If the state becomes the sole employer, the state must see that everyone is employed. But as overseas Year's Best Pin-up tfoy. Maybe we are away out on the Wet Coast and on the fringe of Canada but we do get Ideas, don't we, and what Is more, get them first.

TIME will see the bomb scars erased from Britain's skyline but never sight or limb restored to many a British "child of theltlitz". Thousands still require hospital care. Thousands will be helpless cripples for life. Thousands arc homeless orphans, alone in the world. Those who bore the battle's brunt when Britain's cities became the war's front line, still look wistfully to you for sympathy and aid. The 857,000 members of the Junior Hed Cross help them immeasurably. They maintain 14 War Nurseries in Britain where little bomb victims enjoy Jlcil Cross hospitality, right down to honcst-to-goodncss Canadian clothing and jam! But the need is still great and will grow greater as the sick and starving children of newly liberated lands come within the reach of the Kcd Cross. Can we deny our help in this merciful work?
