EVERY SHOEMAKER
TO HIS LAST

(Wall Street JournaD
For more than half dozen years we
have been treated to the illumination of
politically and professionally minded
gentlemen about the proper conduct of
business. The best that can be said for
these is that they engendered more high
ly colored pyrotechnics than current
which would turn motors.
There are some indications that the dis
play is subsiding. There is just an inkling
of appreciation that man who has pro-
duced things most of his adult life may
have some special knowledge about pro-
duction. That is to the good.
It would be a mistake, which we hope
will be avoided. if business men and in
dustrialsts should now conclude that
public affairs are their province 1t does
not follow that because politicians are
poor business men, business men must
be good politicians. In rare cases they
may be BOTH but the chances are that
they are not.
We have a suggestion that any friend
in business or industry may have to do
with as he sees fit. 1t is this: that the
next time he is called upon for public
speech, he firmly cast in the wastebas-
ket the prepared text of solemn pro-
nouncement about the state of interna-
ional politics or the shape Of the social
structure to come; that he put in the
piece of what he has cast away his own
simple story of what his industry or his
company is doing.

Not Too Strong, Yet Strong Enough

wise as any American ever applied
to practical politics:
1T has long been a grave ques-
tion," he said whether any gov
ernment, not too strong for the
liberties of its people, can be
strong enough to maintain its eX-
istence in great emergencies"
Those words were spoken by
Lincoln at a time of great emer-
gency. He had the practical prob
lem to face, just as we have 1t
to face today. Waves of conflicting
emotion sweep across the country
today Just as in 1864 We, too, face
the same grave question. We must
keep our free institutions as strong
as they need to be to preserve
them. yet not too strong for the
liberties of the people. We must
keep production rolling, so as to
be able TO defend democracy from
threats from without, yet we must
keep it rolling in such way that
its essential spirit is not destroyed
within.
It is that spirit which will es-
sentially preserve it in the long
run, and nothing else.
Those who remember the World
War know that in an emergency
such as we face today things can
not go "as usual
Business cannot go on as usual. =
Labor cannot go on las usual"
There will be, in the urgent in
terest of maintaining the govern
ments existence, some infringe
inents on the ways and even the
liberties of normal peaceful life.
Yet we have turned the balances
ir that direction before, and yet
afterWard recovered our nbrmal
liberties. In times of grave emer-
gency, We have several times lean
ed toward that strength required
tC maintain our existence. Each
time we have been able to turn the
balance back, to show that that
strength was not, in the long run,
too strong for the liberties of the
people. This we can do again, and
this we will do

MASQUERADE

First German parachute troops to land
on the island of Crete were painted green,
even to their faces, an eyewitness re-
vealed Thursday in the first such ac-
count to come out of the doomed war
zone. They were described as having the
appearance of "hideous monsters"
The painted troops reflect the thor
oughgoing way in which the Germans
carry out their military preparations.
They depend largely upon striking power,
it is true-but they do not forget the psy-
Geological use of surprise to render the
enemy momentarily inactive. That one
moment of inactivity may be fatal.
There is a lesson for civilians in the
green-painted troops. They demonstrate
the importance the Nazis attach to inspir-
ing fear, surprise and horror. Hitler uses
the weapons in propaganda, as we'll as
in actual warfare. He attempts to soften
up his civilian enemies, just as he does
his military enemies.
Next time someone tells you how in
vincible the Germans are, remember this:
That not one green-painted German para
chutist was left alive after that first
day of fighting on Crete

Every American is deeply con-
cerned today with preserving DEM
ocratic institutions. Our love of
freedom is redoubled by seeing the
piteous plight of peoples who have
lost it.
So. because people are activated
by violent feelings, one hears vio-
lent words. This one or that one
ought to be hanged. That one or
the other ought to be made to
shut up" Various people want to
hang or shut up various other
people, according to their opin-
ions.
This very violence of feeling and
of speech leads us back to a CEN
tral problem of democracy which
Lincoln surveyed in 1864, and on
which he commented in words as

US. STATISTICS MOST
ACCURATE

The United States is probably
the only one of the countries that
has aything at all resembling ac-
curate statistics on national in
come. Canada has just recently be-
gun to compute national income,
but three different sources give
three different estimates, the mid
Gle and apparently most accurate
being that of the Bank of Nova
Scotia, which was used for this
chart. Great Britain three months
ago issued a White Paper with it's
first estimates of national income,
putting the figure under eight bill
lion pounds sterling. Japan's fig
ures are so inaccurate they can't
be plotted beyond 1889, and for
Germany, which hasn't put out
beyond 1910 these figures cover
only the old Germany, without
Austria and the l3 other occupied
countries, their tribute and pro-
ductiVe capacity.
The figures on which the United
States percentage IS calculated are
interesting. In April, the nation
spent about $3.50 million on de-
fense. For May it will run about
$3.50 million. BY July ! we will be
spending about a billion dollars a
month, or Sl2 billion a year. BY
July 1912 we may be spending 50
billion a month. The average for
the fiscal year. July l. l941 to
June 30, 1912, will be SIS billion
month, or Sl3 billion for the fiscal
year. With U. S. national income
at $50 billions for the year, this
S18 billion figures al exactly 20 per
cent of national income going for
war expenses.
The dollar figures on U. S. de-
Tense effort are of course familiar
-S13 billion under contract, 81
billion more authorized, $40 billion
more being planed-a total of $40
billions unless the program is
again expanded. That $40 billion of
course compares favorably with
the 80 billion marks Germany is
supposed 20 have spent on prepar-
edness before she began war. Using
the international exchange rate of
"a gold marks to the dollar, that
makes Germany's expenditure APP
proximately S375 billion, but that
covers only the pre-War, prepared
ness effort and not the upkeep.
ROLL OUT THE DOLLARS
As purely unofficial calcula-
tion, il Germany's national income
is now running at 100 billion marks
a year Csay equal TO $40 billion)
and if go per cent of her income
IL going TO war expense, she is
now spending so billions marks a
year tthe equivalent of $25 billion
on war, and getting more for her
money because of lower labor costs
and lower standards of living. On
the same basis, if the United States
were spending 90 per cent of her
income on war, it would be $54
billions a year instead of the S12 or
$l8 billions we are currently she'll
ing out.

A DIRECTORS LAMENT
Pictures are in themselves a
realistic medium" said a director
The camera and the mike go in
to bedrooms and night clubs, gang
sters dives and frontline trenches
all sorts of places to tell their
stories. So it's twice as disillusion-
ing when the characters in pictures
are not able to talk or behave like
real people, or many times even
to dress or undress) like people
they're supposed to represent.
Il think the public is tired of
so much Obvious prudery. It's cer-
tainly discouraging to the people
who make pictures and try to get
some honest dramatic values into
them. There's a saying around
town that the only people who see
good pictures are the censors.
Il also think this is an espe-
cially bad time for the censorS to
get so conscientious. It takes a
stronger type of entertainment to
give the public an escape from
its worries in wartime
SOUTH AMERICAN WAY
Speaking Of censorship, there's a
move to keep various pictures out
of South America. This idea comes
from the Motion Picture Division
Cheaded by Jock Whitney of the
Council for National Defense. 1t is
not called censorship. but export
control. 1t is not directed at films
such as Unlversal's Argentine
Nights which insulted that coun-
try, but is aimed at features such
as Mr.. Smith Goes to Washing
tom and Grapes OF Wrath"
There seems to be a feeling on
the part Of Mr.. Whitney, or some
body, that neighbors unflattering
ideas about the United States, and
that Nazi agents would go around
shouting, Look at the plight of
the migratory workers in the Unit
ed States! Look at the crookednesS
OF legislators in Washington!
