Second, in case no job is found after diligent search, then
unemployment insurance if the individual registers with the United
States Employment Service.
Third, an opportunity for members of the armed services to get
further education or trade training at the cost of the government.
Fourth, allowance of credit to all members of the armed forces,
under unemployment compensation and federal old-age and survivors'
insurance, for their period of service. For these purposes they
ought to be treated as if they had continued their employment in
private industry.
Fifth, improved and liberalized provisions for hospitalization, for
rehabilitation, for medical care of disabled members of the armed
forces and the merchant marine.
And finally, sufficient pensions for disabled members of the armed
forces.
Your government is drawing up other serious, constructive plans for
certain immediate forward moves. They concern food, manpower, and
other domestic problems that tie in with our armed forces.
Within a few weeks I shall speak with you again in regard to
definite actions to be taken by the executive branch of the
government, and specific recommendations for new legislation by the
Congress.
All our calculations for the future, however, must be based on
clear understanding of the problems involved.
