Once vas the time when eeo-
nomists taught that AL wealth Il
result Of only three factors
land. labor. and capital Now Il
Is being recognized that there Il
an additional factor. namely. sane
religion. Let me illustrate: You
see q street upon which q man i
working with = pick. This Is q
perfect Illustration Of land. labor.
and capital The street il the
land the man is the labor. and
the pick Is the capital Yet YOU
viii know that this combination
can be used equally well in de-
stroying the street OF in repairing
the street according to the reiig.
ious motives OF the man. Hence,
II is impossible To fully cover the
business and financial situation
without a consideration Of relig-
ion which determines how land.
labor, and capital are TO be used.
The above Is especially import
ant at this time when we hear 50
much about initiation. rationing.
price fixing. etc. Once again
commend Leon Henderson IN his
desperate attempts 10 control the
purchases Of 10000. 600 Of people
by legislation and policemen. On
the other hand. l have certain
sympathy with the congressman
who at the risk Of being ridiculed.
honestly believe that giving Mr..
Henderson more power would only
further complicate the situation.
The fact Is that initiation can be
stopped only as the hearts and
desires and purposes Of the Amer
lean people change. Only II we
desire to make greater personal
sacrifices and voluntarily reduce
the standard of living can we
curb initiation. This means that
only a spiritual awakening can
stop IL.
Donald Nelson goes TO the Unit
ed States treasury and asks for
s250.000 TO buy a bomber. Ulti-
mately the bomber is destroyed
but the s250,000 continues in ex-
istenee. Multiply this situation a
millionfold and you see that money
is increasing much more rapidly
than useful goods. Only a deter
mined willingness on the part Of
the people to adjust their buying
to this dangerous situation can
prevent an ultimate loss Of con-
fidence in the American dollar and
a stampede to buy merchandise.
real estate, and certain good
stocks.
This 4means that we should
think less of unions, overtime, and
profits; think less of ITO percent
parity. wheat boarding and sub
sides; think less of getting ficti-
tious prices for silver. livestock.
and other products; think less of
beating the ration boards; and
give more thought to beating the
laps and Jerrys.

Mr.. Bsbson, when asked how
long he thought the war will last,
replied:
"If II Il fought TO a finish,
II will end only when We re-
pent Of our sins, readjust our
wasteful standards of living,
and once more make God rul-

Mr.. Babson says some people
may think II is out of place for a
business analyst TO speak along
spiritual lines, and from there
goes on TO show that the material
and spiritual belong together. AS
reported in the Congressional
Record, here is what he says along
that line:
II feel that 1t is absolutely i'm
possible, in the long run, to sep

lock and the other is the key and
neither can function without the
other. Statistics, moreover, clear
ly teach the following about the
business cycle:
starting at a normal level,
business improves until 1t gets
into a period of prosperity. This
prosperity develops dishonesty,
earelessness, inefficiency and waste,
which in turn result in a business
depression. The majority of our
people repent and substitute hon.
esty for dishonesty, industry for
carelessness, efficiency for ineffi-

tions got to fighting among themselves as
has happened in Jugoslavia, where the forces
of Mikhailovich and partisans with Commu.
nistic leanings have been in frequent battle
to the detriment Of both.
Darlan may be all that has been claimed
for him. Certainly he has been untrue to
the vichy collaborationists, and might be un-
true to the Allies if opportunity and self
interest seemed to call for it. But in the
meantime he is doing the United Nations a
better turn than any single man not at the
head of combat forces and we may well trust
the man who won him over to give him
no opportunity to desert as long as he can
be of service.
