It said that “no.oneé in or out of the govérhment can predict with | the slightest certainty how jobs can | be provided.” O'Mdhoney said an early end of the war is “a happy event which is not at all outside the contemplation of military leaders.” These views of the nation's unpreparedness for peace coincided with charges by important labor leaders.
