While Government economists are
drafting blue prints for postwar Amer
lea, and administration officials debating
our place in the new world order, a group
OF industrial leaders have set up an or
ganization to help American business
men win the peace by maintaining a high
level of employment and production
when hostilities cease.
Independent of the Government, and
privately financed, this organization-the
Committee for Economic Development
has embarked upon a Nation wide cam
paign to encourage business men, both
big and little. to begin Immediately the
preparation of postwar plans Head
quarters CT the committee are in the
Department of Commerce, and direction
OF its activities is in the hands of a board
of trustees made up of prominent busi-
ness executives, headed by Paul G. Hoff-
man. president of the Studebaker Corp.
When the Axis is defeated, and the
wars in Europe and Asia end, our econ
omy will lose a customer for over half
its output-the Federal Government BY
the end of l943, we will be producing
goods and services at the rate of more
than $155 1000 5000 a year in terms of
1910 prices with war production account
ing for s84 900 900 900 of the total output.
To maintain free society," and prevent
a catastrophe depression, the CED
warns. the American people must be
ready when the war ends. to replace as
quickly as possible the greater part of
this sS4,0O0,0OO,0O0 of war production
with civilian goods and services, and
provide 55,00000 jobs-approximately
100000 more than were available in
1910.
Accept Tough Assignment.
This in brief, is the problem for which
the new organization is seeking solu-
ton. American industry has never faced
q tougher assignment. To achieve the

desired goals, the CED tells us, two
things are essential First, individual
companies must start now their postwar
planning of products and marketing, and
second, the environment or climate" of
the postwar period must be favorable to
the expansion of enterprise.
The activities of the Committee for
Economic Development are being carried
out by two main divisions-research and
field development. Both groups have set
their initial sights, and both are busily
engaged in carrying out the committees
program.
Ralph E. Flanders, president of the
Jones & Lamson Machine Co. of SPRING
field, VT, is chairman of the Research
Division, and Prof. Theodore Yntema of
the University of Chicago is director of
its research staff. Associated with the
division is a research advisory board
headed by Prof. Summer Slichter of
Harvard. Members of the Research
Committee, Advisory Board and research
staff have already held two joint meet
lngs-one in Princeton early in Decem-
Der and the second in Chicago the latter
part of January.
AS its major goal the Research Divi-
son will try to define the conditions that
are necessary for business to prosper
suf1iciently in the postwar period to pro-
vide maximum employment. Its con-
Germ, therefore. is with the creation of
an environment. favorable to the expan-
sion Of free enterprise.
Since there are so many policies and
factors affecting employment, it was no
easy matter for the Research Division to
select those that should receive first con-
sideration AS a result of recent meet
ings, however, it has been agreed to give
pnorities to studies in these fields.
First, Government and business pol
icies growing out of the war itself, such
as rationing, price controls and the own
ership and operation of war plants. AS
soon as the war ends, shift or modifca-
ton of these policies may be expected
and it will thus be essential to have

transition period
Second, the conditions needed to facil-
itate the organization and growth of
small business in the postwar era, more
specifically the kind of positive action
that the Government must take to as
sure favorable climate" for the birth
and continued life of smaller enter
prises.
Third. taxation, with view to recon-
mending changes in the revenue laws
that will give greater incentives to risk
taking capital thereby stimulating busi-
ness expansion, an expansion which, in
turn, will create more jobs.

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kans. (By
MaiD They place a lot of emphasis
on teamwork here at the Command and
General Staff School. The modern Army
is organized as a group of teams, and
the better the teammates know each
other and work together, the more eff
clent they are as fighting team. The
big team. of course, is the division.
According to a recent report of a Senate
subcommittee headed by Senator Green
of Rhode Island, our objective now is
to create 100 divisions by the end of
1943, which means that a number of
them must be organized this year.
Here at Fort LeavenWorth is where
the nucleus of the division team is first
assembled. This birth of division is
not spectacular There isn't any cere-
monv about it, although it seems there
ought to be. The participants in the
occasion are fidgety, rather nervous
looking group of young men who, in
many cases, are meeting each other
for the first time.
They arrived, by train. plane, bus or
private automobile the Gay before, COM
ing from all parts of the country. There
are 20 of them this morning, sitting
together in a classroom in Pope Hall
which stands at the crest of a hill over
looking the winding Missouri River. A
little over century ago some of their
ancestors

on a great adventure A stones throw
away, the beginning of the old Santa
Fe and Oregon trails is still visible as a
grassy depression ca the hillside and
this was the point from which the
wagon trains, under cavalry escort, as
sembled and started cut toward new
frontiers..x3
Await the General
There are 20 officers, all extraordinarily
young, ranging in rank from captain to
colonel and they are awaiting the ar
rival Of the division commander. 1t is
probable that only one of them has
ever met the general before and they
look like, what sort of a fellow he will
turn out to be. He is the captain of
their team. Most Of the men here will
have to fight the war with him, for bet
ter or worse, and this is where it all
begins, although the battle front may be
year or more away.
The general, too. seems very young
to be a general. He wears the star of
a brigadier on his shoulders now. But
he is looking forward, soon, to two of
them. He will get them when his divi-
sion is activated. And this is the first
step. He walks before the class and
greets the members casually.
I'VE are going to have to get ac-
quainted, gentlemen, and this is a good
place to begin. There are few things

MORE PLANS MADE
AGAINST INITIATION

Washington The design of
new bikes to hold back the infla-
ton flood occupied high admins
tration officials, with indications
that President Roosevelt may go
to the people soon with the blue
prints.
The groundwork for drive to
win public support was laid in
an Office of War information re-
lease based on the theme that
failure to hold the anti-inflation
line during the last war was re-
sponsible in large part for the
economic upheavals that contin-
ued for years after the guns were
stilled. 49,
While no definite announcement
was made, administration circles
indicated that the president had

N. G. GUARDSMEN ARE
ACTIVE AT FIT. BRAGG

Fort Bragg - It's strange and
physically harder life that more
than 1000 North Carolina State
Guardsmen are experiencing at
this largest of army posts during
their Today encampment, but
they are taking it in great stride.
There have been few moments
during their waking hours since
the guardsmen reached Fort
Bragg that they have had idle. In
fact, about the only free time the
men have had has been after ev-
ening mess, and even then for
some there have been special de-
tails which are the added touches
of army life.
Any illusions which the general
public may have about the train
ing which the guardsmen are un-
dergoing need only to be subject
ed to the reality of a typical train
ing day. The encampment defin-
itely is not an outing in the popu-
lar sense of either wartime or
peace days. There is a definite
purpose to be achieved in the
training program, and that is to
develop the some 40 units into
organizations capable of dealing
with emergency situations which
it is hoped will never materialize
but which it is the better part of
wisdom to be prepared for.

Wartime Program
At Brevard Now

Brevard, July 26 - A new and
unique wartime educational pro-
gram that will enable boys and
girls to complete high school
training and two years of college
work on or before they reach
their 18th birthday has been in
augurated at Brevard College,
President E. J. Coltrane announc-
ed today.
'1n response to the urgent ed
ucational needs of today, we are
now offering a four-year pro-
gram, embracing two years of
high school and the first two
years of college and a student
can finish this work in three
years by working hard" DR.. Col
trane said.
This program, he said, should
appeal to all boys who want to
get as much education as possible
before drafted into the armed
forces and to parents of high
school boys and girls who live in
congested war or army camp
centers.
'The average persons educa
tional career has been upset by
the war and the consequent low
ering of the draft age to 18
years. DR.. Coltrane said. "Here
at Brevard College we have rec
ognized this confusion and per-
plexity on the part of parents and
students and have projected a
plan whereby bewildered young
people may prepare themselves
for any emergency that may
arise"
The pre-college courses are in
tegrated and the college, which
is owned by the Western North
Carolina Conference of the Meth.
odist church, operates on a con-
tinuous basis throughout the
year.

Mussolini Quits His Post;
Italy May Drop Out OF War

London - Dictator Benito Mus
solini resigned Sunday night as
premier of Italy, and King Wit
torio Emanuele, in possible bid
for peace with onrushing allied
armies, assumed command of It
allan forces for "a stand against
those who have wounded the sa-
cred soil of Italy"
Marshal Pietro Badoglio, form
er chief staff and never an ad-
mirer of fascism, came out of re-
tirement to succeed Mussolini as
head of a military government
accorded full powers by the
king to do what is best for a war
shattered and weary country.
The broken Mussolini went in
to the shadows after 81 years of
dictatorship in which he had tried
to recreate the ancient glories of
Rome on a basis of fascism and
military alliances with Germany
and Japan.
This dramatic turn IN Italy's
fortunes was shattering blow to
Germany and Japan, Mussolinis
axis partners. No immediate
comment was forthcoming from
Berlin and Tokyo.
Badoglio, the 71-year-old new
premier, had been dismissed as
chief of staff by Mussolini, De.
cember 6, 1940
He issued a proclamation Sun
day night telling Italians:
"On orders of his majesty thu
king, I am taking over the mill
tary government of the countr!
with full powers"
He called on all Italians to rail-.
around the king.
'The war continues" he added
'Italy, grievously stricken in he
| invaded provinces and in he
: ruined towns maintains he
faith in her given word, jealou
of her ancient traditions.
The king in his proclamation
said Italy, "by the valor of it
armed forces and the determine
ton of all it's citizens, will fin
again a way of recovery"
These sensational announce
ments, recorded by the Associated
Press, may be the opening italian
peace moves.
They came as allied troops wer
