WILL BUSINESS
Be INCREASED
BY WARFARE
World War Gave Out The Inn
preston That PrOfiteering
Was Greatly In Vogue

Will business rise to it's new oppor-
tunity? During and following the
World War there was widespread pub
Lie outcry that profiteering had been
flagrantly perpetrated. Financial,
utility, industrial and other leaders
also were excoriated when the 1929
boom collapsed so disastrously. Dire
penalties have since been imposed,
penalties which have over-reached and
hurt the whole country.
Now that war has again been un-
leashed, how will Americas men Of
affairs conduct themselves? Will they
exercise self-restraint Will they re-
sist temptation to grab undue prof
it's? Will they foster avoidable in
flation? Will they again bring on
their heads public Indignation?
Or will they exercise business states
manship? Will they put forth every
effort to cooperate with the Gov
eminent? Will they strive conscien-
tiously to earn public esteem and con-
fidence? Will they act longheaded-
ly, farsightedly? Or succumb to ill
considered shortsightedness, forget
full that the war will one day end and
that an accounting will inevitably fol-
low?
I am hopeful over the outlook. The
vast majority Of men who have risen
to the top in business, finance, in
dustry, owe their rise to possession Of
unusual ability, judgment, common
sense. Few Of them can be obsessed
by the delusive notion that they can
seize advantage of war abnormalities
to enrich themselves and their enter
prises unfairly without counting re-
tribution.
All the influence Of every business
association should be brought to bear
against attempts by misguided MEM
bers to take unjust advantage of con-
sumers or others when emergency con-
ditions may render such action pos
sible temporarily. Our employing
classes must have learned full well
that the misdeeds of few can and
do bring odium on their whole group.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
ONANCOCK CITIZENS
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

A near tragedy occurred in the
Chesapeake Bay near the mouth of
the Onancock River last Sunday af-
ternoon when several boats owned by
local citizens were caught in the bay
by heavy rain and wind storm.
Probably the narrowest escape was
experienced by Roland Hearne and
party.
Mr.. Hearne attempting to reach
safety before the going got "too
rough" was headed in when, north
of Watts Island, the motor fouled and
the boat was stalled. The anchor was
thrown over, while attempts were be-
ing made to right the motor. The
seas were high and breaking over
the bow, threatened to swamp the
craft. The boat took in so much water
that it was necessary to man the
pump.
G. R. Belote, ST., Jake Watts and
Herbert Duer, also coming in attempt
ed to get near the disabled boat, but
because of the rough seas, wind and
rain were afraid that both boats
might be damaged by impact in so
doing. They stood by until the motor
was repaired.
Attempting to pull anchor Marvin
Parks was placed in perilous stu
alton, with the seas breaking over his
body. At the suggestion of others
the attempt was given up and the
anchor rope cut.
The craft then made its way into
Onancock.
Paul Pennewell and Hughes Wat
son reported they were caught in the
same storm and that it was almost
impossible to see more than the length
of the boat ahead, however they
reached their dock without trouble.
