when the money was given tho Y.
51. C. A.V"
Now the 1". 51. C. A. s-ots foith per
sistently that nowhere In its publicity
campaign did It say that It was going
to use money raised to give things to
doughboys. Yet tho conclusion seems
justified that It did not set foith plain
ly enough that things wero to he hold
to doughboys, because In countless let
ters from home doughboys were told
of how parents nnd fi lends had given
money to tho Y. 51. C. A. so that can
teen buppllcs would so tiulckly and
firelv to fighting men.
Take the question of pei sonnel. This
links closely up with the canteen prob
lem. Oreat changes which have been
made ln Y. 51. C. A. pei sonnel In the
last few months go to piovo what I
say nbout, many of the secretatles
sent to l'ranco being best described
In American stang as ' lemons." 5Ir.
Pei kins points out that a great many
men had to bo found quickly nnd It
was difficult to get nil good men.
I ugreo with 5Ir. Perkins that that
statement Is particularly true, but Us
being tiue by no means changes the
fact that the Y. 51. C. A. had some
men over here who should have stayed
not reall7o this feature.
The Y. M. C. A. might ns well reduce I
Its prices In canteens. In that way It
might olve part of Its problem In gel-
I ting rid of some g.",000,000 I don't
I believe that at this lato hour It would
gain much bv copying tho Knights or
Columbus or halvatlon Army methods of
freo distribution
Wnat 1 am coming to Is this: go out
among soldiers and talk to them to find
out what tiiey are thinking. It is all
about home The one big idea that Is
In most of their minds Is that they want
I to get back and get a good job to make
money for themselves and their folks.
And regardless of tho many stattv
' meats sent pver about manufacturers'
1 nnd business men's associations guar
anteeing Jobs for returning fighting men
and plans by the Y. 51. C A. and others,
I believe that In the minds of many
thousands of them there is a well
founded suspicion that It Is not going to
be smooth bailing to get back Into good
Jobs when they return.
Then why cannot Abe Y. 51. C A.
spend $10,000,000 or JUO.000,000 or $30,
! 000,000 out of Its well-filled coffers to
' make doubly sure of Jobs for tho fight
ing men when they get home.'
i 5lr. Perkins and the either able men In
the Y. 51. l A. understand how those.
things can be done, and I may safely
confidence in his utterances and doings
