A WARMING TO SMALL BUSINESS

The small businessmen of this country,
including most of those who operate in Key
West, might be interested in the warning of
Thurman w Arnold, Assistant II. S. At
torney- General, who says that small bust
ness is in danger Of being crushed by big
business and labor.
Mr.. Arnold, who is in charge of anti
trust litigation, says that big business,
while not unpatriotic, fears over-expansion
and believes that over-production will cut
its dividends after the war. In the view
point of big business, letting the little fell
low in means future competition and lower
prices"
Mr. Arnold charges labor organiza-
tons, though not all of them, with putting
protective tariffs around cities restricting
skills, preventing use of more efficient
methods, charging small business men for
unnecessary labor and crushing small
business men in jurisdictional wars
These charges are fairly specific.
They carry distinct warnings of danger to
the small businesses of America which face
additional perils in the system of priorities
in basic materials, the exclusion of small
business from share in defense produc-
ton, restrictions on the distributions of
necessities and artifically fixed prices. za
In Mr.. Arnold's opinion, it is highly
important that there be some organized eff
fort to represent the interests Of small bust
ness in order to see that various regulations
are not used lin such way that they lead to
monopoly control which means that little
business may have to go out of business. =

New YORK, Aug. 30.--A ma
tionwide call to worship and
prayer with q simultaneous pro-
gram for perfecting the organl-
rational structure OF 5000
churches and stimulating Episco-
bal Church activities in general
was announced today by Presid-
ing Bishop, Henry St George
Tucker. The cali is part OF a ten
year forward in Service move
ment in the Episcopal Church
which the Presiding Bishop is
heading up.
The objective of the movement
as set forth in a statement today
by Bishop Tucker is ito redeem
our times by making loyalty to
God the dominant factor in hui
man life. Through worship and
prayer, he Continued, I'VE seek
an increase of divine power
for the Individual and for the
Church as whole. In order that
this power may be brought eff
fectively to bear upon the world,
it is important that the organi-
zation and program OF every par
ash and every branch of the
Church's life shall be perfect
ed".
Bishop Tucker estimated that
$4,000 business men, including
some Of the nations outstanding
executives, will be called to adj
wise with local Church leaders to
carry out the plan he has in mind.
Each parish is asked to set up
'planning groups which will
study the parochial program
and organization looking toward
more effective work. Parish con-
ferences this fall also are asked

SOLDIERS MORALE ALL RIGHT

Il never saw an Army that wouldn't
vote to go home" says Brig. Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, Federal Selective Service Direc-
tor
The general merely points out that
Americans prefer home-life to army-life
and there would be something wrong with
Americans and their homes if this was not
the case.
The reports that one hears about sol
sdiers complaining, about this and that in
camps and on the training fields, reminds
us that most Americans find something to
grumble about with little effort. Despite
their chronic dislike of what is underway
they will make good soldiers for their coun-
try.
There's nothing to worry about so far
as the morale of our soldiers is concerned.

1t is for that reason that each

be moved up TO support the Turk
ish armies in shorter time than
required for the Germans to land.
