practical way without subsidies
or paternalism is proposed by Wayne
Chatfield- Taylor, Undersecretary of
Commerce.
Mr.. Taylor suggests that these
businessmen borrow from the ex-
perience Of the farmers and obtain
the expert services which the De-
partment Of Commerce has de-
veloped on the same decentralized
plan which the Agriculture Depart
ment uses In making scientific ad-
vice available to the farmers.
While Mr.. Taylor does not con-
tend that this would be a panacea
for wartime small business, he
points out that his department is
equipped to furnish the same type
of service to business. large and
small, that the farmers get from
the Agriculture Department. The
farmers can consult the county
agent on any problem from hog
cholera to wheat blight, from diver
sif1cation to soil-erosion prevention.
They have the benefit OF agricul-
tural experiments all over the world
Of the latest on market trends and
shipping problems.
Opportunity for Merchants.
Similarly the Commerce Depart
ment has studied commerce in every
phase and has made exhaustive in
vestigations of it's difficulties, in war
and peace, and outlined many rem
edies. There is the Census Bureau.
with it's reservoir of statistical infor-
nation concerning every type OF
business. The Bureau Of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce keeps a
worldwide commercial map up to
date. The National Bureau of
Standards has made tests and done
research work which have resulted
in radical improvements in indus
trial and commercial practices.
Not many small businessmen can
afford the time and money to come
to Washington, Mr.. Taylor explains
and contact by mail is not nearly
so satisfactory as personal contact
The regional and district Offices of
the Commerce Department offer a
fine opportunity for these mer-
chants and shopkeepers to take ad-
vantage of the sort of service which
farmers get In their vocation And
the average farmer, after all, is the
small businessman of agriculture
so the parallel with the small mer-
chant is not so far fetched.
The Commerce Department Is Of
fering cooperation to any local
or national group Of businessmen
wanting to maintain or strengthen
small enterprises. Timely informa-
ton of commercial trends and ex-
periences often is of great value
And the departments field agents
are ready to counsel with any dis
tressed businessman.
~. Adaptable. e..to Tradesmen.
The farm comparison might be
carried a step further, Mr.. Taylor
comedies. The small merchants
might form co-operatives, pool their
buying, perhaps, and share their
information and perplexities, as
farmers have been doing for many
years. The "co-ops" never hindered
the farmers carefully guarded in
dependence. his individuality.
The problem Of running busi-
ness could be taught in the schools,
Mr.. Taylor suggests. just as there
are courses In agriculture. The
land-agent colleges. with their ad-
jacent farm experiment stations,
furnish a suggestive lead-such a
plan might be adapted in some form
to trade.
In planning ways to be more help

All French naval and army forces

Thus, with one stroke every trace

no acre OF her homeland was left
free of the invader, she became sub
ject to absolute Nazi rule, even her

against his mastery.
Determined to Avert Chaos.
Il am determined not to. in any
case, give Europe over to chaos by
allowing free hand to these agi-

ponents generally and the Fighting
French and anti-Axis vichy France
especially.
Il sincerely hope it will be pos
sible to give back to France an army
whose officers at least obey the Chief
of State.
Il am convinced you took no part
In any of these activities, but l am
compelled to carry this war through

Hitler accused Admiral Jean Dar-
Ian of having "once more betrayed
Germany and Italy"
With a frank avowal of the peril
In which he stands from his enemies
within Europe as we'll as outside,
Hitler wrote to Vichy's aged mar

"On November IL, 1912, orders
were given by French authorities to

landing in this town.
Existence Of this order has been

II have given orders that all naval

Marshal Won Rundstedt will be
