Return Of Prisoners Gives
Servicemen Jobs
Headquarters Alaskan Depart
ment—Early return of enemy
prisoners of war now held in' the
United States will provide jobs
for discharged American service
men and war workers, Secretary
of War Robert P. Patterson de
clared today.
Pointing out that there is con
siderable pressure for the reten
tion of prisoners of war in this
country as a source of labor, Mr.
Patterson asserted that the follow
ing important factors were con
sidered by the War Department in
establishing its policy, announced
November 20, for the repatriation
of all war prisoners from this
country by the end of April 1946:
1. There are approximately
1.800,000 persons drawing unem
ployment insurance at the present
time, and this figure is expecteH
to rise by late spring. There would
be no justification for keeping
prisoners of war, in effect invol
untary and alien labor, in the
United States while civilians re
leased from war plants and men
released from the service are
seeking work.
2. Shipping is and will be avail
able so that those prisoners can
be moved most efficiently in this
period without imposing a burden
on other important activities.
3. Besides these considerations,
the United States has in the past
always lived up to the terms of
the Geneva Convention and must
continue to live up to them. The
Convention states “repatriation of
prisoners of war shall be effected
with the least possible delay after
the conclusion of peace.”

Some wise words are spoken in
jest, but they can’t compare with
the number of foolish ones spoken
in earnest.
