public spending for spending's sake.
1t mc1n that there must be an end to spending the
tax moroy contributed by all the people for purposes
which eff ,ect only the favored few
PeOnle who talk most bitterly about excessive
governm ea spending often the first whoop it up ii
favor of appropriation town or state And the
result Is the greatest peacetime debt the history Of
this Otner nation and tax burden that is crushing
industries, to the detrment employment productive
investment and economic progress.
The c2St of gC"ernment can be cut The budget can
be balanced and program looking to the reduction of

THE RICHIE TO MAKE APROFIT

lHllp ~ DrnS)l PreSlIent OF the American Bank
crs Association. recently observed that essential
recovrry is TO rage private capital to engage in
new ventures and the extension of existing industries
Risk capital flourShes in atmosphere confidence
not where hostility exists 1t will venture if there is an eX
pecOn profit and when its right seek profit is
recognized"
There is not enough general recognition of the fact
that risk capital at the beginning is usually the only
capital which wiling to take chance venture
That may produce great employing industry off the
future Crtny Uhot truth well illustrated in the
the arr lune-they all commonplace today but not
mary yeals ago .hCj wildly regarded fantastic
dreams They could attract conservative capital look
ing for giltedge investments Without risk capital
which willing take long chance in the hope OF
substantial profit they could have been developed
far beyond the curiosity stageand the millions of jobs,
the gigantic wealth, the untold opportunities they
created would iaye existed.
The legislative trerd Of years has gone against
ali the rich experience OF the past We have said, in e
feet to the prospective investor of risk capital: Go
ahead and take big chance-f you lose you absorb
the losses yourself and If you win we take most of the
profits in taxes Any WGnder that capital dormant
that industry at large marking time instead of going
ahead, hat few innovations be in the indus
trial horizon? When you drive risk capital into hiding
you virtually make industrial progress impossible.

 "Forget it." said Roy. "It wouldn't be fair. I've played a lot of golf. I-er-I used to be a caddie."
 Wilfrid stood silent moment, thinking. Suddenly a crafty ex- pression stole over his face.
 Say" he said, "could you teach me to hit bill like that?" Roy looked doubtful. T don't know. How soon?"
 "Oh, by tomorrow night"
 Roy shook his head. "Impos- sible. I'd have to have more time than that"
 Wilfrid's eyes were almost pleading. "But you could teach me something, couldn't you? You see, it's very important. I've a match ."
 q know all about it." said Roy. "You" How did you know?'
 "Its = CT - well, its common knowledge in the - ah = in the servants quarters"
 "The devil it is! What do they say?"
 That it's f1fty-fifty. Anybody's match"

 Hang it." cried Wilfrid. He'd steal one on me if he could. This is vital with me, MT. ah ." Herring"

 When you get as old as I am" said Roy, you learn to take these precautions. Incidentally, I've been wanting to see you"

 He did eh? What did he say?" It'll probably swell your head, but he thinks you're the only in- telligent young man who's been on the place since he can remem- ber."

 She smiled at him out of her great eyes. q think you've got your work cut out for you

 "Well, you've got to find out something about evolution, haven't you?"

How a Book Started The Red Cross

LEAN HENRI DUNANT was y travelling through the Lom- bardy town of Solferino in June, 1859, when fighting began be- tween the Austrians on the one side and the French and Italians on the other. Dunant paused, caught by the sheer horror of the battle, stayed to see 10000 Austri- ans and nearly as many of the allies go down.
 Then it was night and Dunant set to work where the military left off. At Castiglioni, a village in the center of the French position, Dunant persuaded the women and girls to return with him to aid the dying and wounded. Literally thousands were cared for, others moved into churches and schools and homes until the little town overflowed with soldiers.
 Dunant, then only in his sos. had performed historic service but the real work was yet to come. It started with the little book Dunant wrote after that battle, "Un Souvenir de Solferino." Into this book, really pamphlet, Dunant packed the full tragedy of the Lombardy battle and of all battles. The book was knmedi- ately a sensation.
 Victor Hugo, then a world fig- ure, read the book and wrote at once: "You arm Humanity and serve Liberty" Other liberals took up the cry. At the same time the book was translated into several languages. Thus Solferino became one of the worlds most significant battles. Out of it came eventually the Red Cross as we know it today, for Dunant con- ceived the idea that day. Dunant is honored above on a new Bel. .Sian stamp. .
