What is this article about?

25,000 Italians from Western Pennsylvania and others from various states are departing the US to fulfill Italian army reservist duties, following thousands of Germans and Austrians. This depletes the unemployed workforce, reduces job competition, and helps avoid wage reductions, with implications for evaluating the current administration's economic policies.

It is announced that 25,000 Italians will leave Western Pennsylvania alone for their native land to fulfill their obligations as reservists in the Italian army. Other states will supply their quota. Germans and Austrians by the thousands have already gone. Thus the American army of unemployed has been depleted and the number of jobless men has been diminished. Competition for jobs has been lessened and consequent reduction of wages avoided. The thinking voter will keep this in mind when he sums up the results of the economic policies of the present administration.
