When I've Done
The Best | Can
By Annie Mae Elliott


This old world is full of sin and
woe
And sadness that must come to
every door
So I must be satisfied in this land
When I've done the best l can.
With many a heartache, ofttimes
joy too
I say, to my Savior, Lord, Pm
leaning on you.
He is always ready to understand
When I've done the best l can
I think of my mother, other loved
ones too
Who have gone on, the same as
I've got to do.
1t doesn't matter how my Lord
has it planned
When I've done the best | can
May my life prove faithful and
, true
| Fight a good fight, as all soldiers
should do
Then, I shouldn't worry when
leaving this land
When I've done the hest | can.
Fair with my neighbors, teacher
and preachers, too
Maybe that will help me to make
Z it through.
IT'S easy to be a square-shooter
with every man.
When | we done the best I can.
Then when it is my time to go
From this world of sin and woe
I'll I've satisfied, you can under
stand
When I've done the best l can.
So heed the great warning that
comes to md, ard ITO you
For, dear oneS fhould like for
you to mako Through.
I would have adjusted myself
with every man.

Leuse-Lend of Economic Ideas

nomic theories can be briefly illus
trated by a quite recent suggestion
Of Keynes himself-the suggestion
Of compulsory savings. This device
rose from Keynes contemplation of
British workers, among whom the
instinct for saving is by no means
as strong as 1t is here. British La
Dor has been accustomed for many
years to social insurance; ours, to
private insurance.
Efficiency Methods Lag.
The policies Of British labor and
industry have not encouraged the
powerful drive for increased pro-
duction that has characterized us.
Efficiency methods have not made
the same headway. Hence, there is
less civilian saving and less civilian
goods production to fall back upon.
The astonishing record of savings
in this country since Pearl Harbor
is dramatic proof of the difference
between the two economies.
Economic science and art is an ex-
plantation of an existing civilization.
1t should be picture, not proph-
ecy. 1t must rest securely upon
the facts. The economic facts of
America, so we'll shown in war pro-
duction, are unique. They deserve
the attention of economists who will
ITO :. their principles.
The American economy cannot be
interpreted and guided by English
economists. The economic facts of
the two countries have not been and
will not be the same. As Emerson
said more than a century ago: THE
millions that around us are rush.
ing into life cannot always be fed
on the sere remains of foreign
harvests."

Keynes great reputation has been
based not so much upon his sys-
tematic and scientific writing, as
upon series of brilliant lunches
and predictions. His successful pre-
dictions have all been related to Eu-
ropean facts. But this economic
Merlin, having made his name as
magician In the court of his own
people, has reversed the Mark Twain
story by throwing the Yankees
under curious spell. They look
to him to explain the situation in
their own country.
Keynes predictions about what
would happen to the reparations ris-
ing from Versailles came. true be-
cause of inescapable European con-
ditions. Keynes later accurately pre-
dicted the aftermath of England's
return to gold in his Economic
Consequences of Mr.. Churchill"
From then on, the trend is not so
clear.
Go Beyond Keynes.
In 1890, he published as the final
chapter of his Treatise on Money"
the theory of what we call the COM
modify dollar. Irving Fisher had
beaten him to the concept of the
commodity dollar by many years.
Only Mr.. Roosevelt and few other
converts approved When a prac-
ticable commodity dollar did not
actually rise from the misty deep
in which Mr.. Roosevelt was anx-
iously fishing, Keynes discarded his
theory. incidentally, the British
government also dispensed with his
advice.
Turning to America, Keynes found
eager acceptance. Government
spending of borrowed money fitted
the political necessities OF the party
in power. Keynes belief in dimin-
ishing interest rates also conceded
with the fiscal needs of the Govern
ment. A veritable American cult
grew up under his spell. Hansen.
Berle and others went even beyond
Keynes and espoused borrowing
and-spending as permanent policy.

Moscow Conference Vital

No thorough harmoniZation of
American Russian British pol
icies can be deemed practicable
unless the three participants are
sure to see eye to eye about the
great political and territorial
problems OF direct concern to
them. Messrs. Eden, Winant and
Maisky have carried out in Lon
don preliminary exploration
OF those problems and the latter
reported to Moscow that tangible
progress had been achieved. The
Moscow conference will make it
its business to close on definite
solutions.
Eisenhower Signed for Soviet.
1t is Of happy augury that the
consultative procedure, which it
is the common purpose to make
the general rule, should have
been tried in the special case of
the Italian armistice and with
considerable success. The armis-
tice arrived at with Italy cannot
exclusively deal with military
questions. A whole range of po-
litical questions are bound to be
disposed Of under it and in not
too remote future.
The Russian government was
not merely asked to approve be-
forehand of the decisions its AL
lies contemplated to take. Rus
sia was treated as an equal-as
an equal vitality concerned in
what was being done. 1t was in
vited to send plenipotentiary
who, by the side of American and
British commanders, was expect
ed to append his signature to the
conventian. And while the Rus
sian government did not con-
slider it worth its while to avail
itself OF that offer, it empowered
Gen. Eisenhower to sign on its
behalf, step for which no pre-
cedent can easily be detected In
past history.
World Machinery Outlined.
Moreover, Russia's participa-
tion in the Mediterranean Com
mittee has been enlisted. The
Mediterranean Committee, so
far, has not been given an ade-
quate definition of it's duties and
competence. London wants it to
be in the nature of a real COM
mittee, with permanent repre-
sentatives appointed to serve on
1T, and Washington inclines to
think that the procedure of con-
sultation already brought into
being had better remain elastic
and resilient.
Whatever be the form assumed
by the committee, it unavoidably
will fill the Office that devolved,
at the time Of the Treaty OF Ver-
sailles, upon the Conference of
Ambassadors sitting in Paris.
Short OF all exaggeration, 1t can
be said that some rough outline
OF the machinery to be used for
the resettlement Of the world is
already before us. And In those
somewhat sketchy beginnings a
hitting place has already been
marked out for Russia.

Big Business Directs Concerted Campaign
To Shape Industry Planning for Postwar Needs

bankers and manufacturers to build
reserves OF ideas and money for
the postwar period. The fifth part
OF the program consists OF ways and
means of Strengthening present
business.
Questions Asked.
The booklet asks these questions
on the score Of strengthening home
trade:
Is there adequate parking space
for shoppers? Is the town losing
rural trade to other communities?
Is there any place mothers can
leave their children while shop
ping? Are there plenty of good
eating places? Are most stores at
tractive? Is transportation ade-
quate for shoppers?
The communities are told to stop
thinking about attracting large in
dustries start thinking about at
tracing subassembly and peace
time bits and pieces OF contracts"
from the large firms.
In the back of the booklet are
perforated pages which can be de-
tached and given to local subcom-
mittees as check sheets" If a COM
munity answered all the questions
on these check sheets 1t would have
a working knowledge of what the
town can do to help itself.
Goal Of Efforts.
The goal of all these efforts is
employment for the millions who
will be looking for work after the
war. A number of communities
have already started-with the re-
suit that some war-swollen COM
munities are finding they will not
be shattered after the war and
others are finding they can provide
more jobs than they thought.
AS for the businessmen, who are
being urged to aim their peacetime
business sights much higher than
they were before the war, some are
indicating hesitation to go ahead
until they find out what will happen
to their investments, while others
already have worked out blueprints
for peacetime production.
Both communities and individual
businessmen are getting this advice
from Sumner H. Slichter, professor
OF economies at Harvard University,
who is chairman of the CED's Re-
search Advisory Board:
Undoubtedly security is worthy
OF high place in mems ideals. Let
us remember, however, that no
nation has ever achieved greatness

The rapid withdrawal Of the
German troops from the Russian

movements in Russia that the
troops stationed in the Crimea
are being withdrawn to avoid a
repetition of the Novorossisk af-

A concerted campaign is now
being directed at businessmen and
local communities throughout the
country to do their postwar plan
ming now
The big business organizations
have hired economists to tell them
what problems they face and are
sending out reams Of material to
tell the Nations employers what to
do about those problems.
Their theme song Is a warning
the future of free enterprise de-
pends on jobs for all.
Spearheading the campaign is
the Committee for Economic De-
velopment, a privately financed or
ganization OF businessmen operat-
ing with the blessing of Secretary
Of Commerce Jones.
Double -Barreled Program.
It's program is double -barreled.
1t is attempting to organize local
committees in every community of
over 10000 population with the idea
OF urging community businessmen
to plan boldly now for the future.
At the same time, 1t has research
program to determine the effects OF
national policies on production and
employment.
Working with it are the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers. Frequently, the longer
organized Chamber Of Commerce
takes over the job at the local level.
For businessmen, the program
shapes up this way: Every business
is asked to assign a staff to post
war planning. headed by an expert
who is mot too welded to past ex-
perience and procedures" Then
they are asked to survey their or
CARNATIONS. What were net sales
and unit production in 1910? How
many workers are now being en-
ployed? Which products should be
dropped after the war? Which ones

They are asked to think about
shipping possibilities, new mate
rials that will become available
after the war, warehousing facilities,
technical Improvements in produc-
ton methods. what can be done to
shorten the conversion from war to
peace time production.
Small Business Attack.
Since 1.s50,000 Of the 1000 900 pri-
vate business employers in the
country employ only one to eight
workers, a special attack is being
directed toward the small business
men.
For instance, a local committee
will find out first how many work
ers the large plants in the town ex-
pect to employ after the war. Then
they go to the small businessmen
the grocery. the drugstore, the
beauty parlors II the big business
Is expanding, the small stores will
have more business. Won't they
need to hire more clerks?
This grass roots" approach is
also being followed by the Com
merce Department, which recently
put out its own booklet to stimulate
communities to strength business in
their own towns as means OF
assuring jobs after the war.
The booklet recommends making
a survey of the new jobs the corner
grocer, the druggist and other busi-
nessmen will have to offer after the
war. That's followed by a survey
OF manufacturing opportunities

Foreign Affairs. had in London
during the past fortnight with
Mr. Eden and United States AM
bassador John G. Winant. The
conference Of the three ministers
of foreign affairs Cor of their
delegates is expected to mark a
further approach toward the
bringing together of President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill with Marshal Stain.
But why was it found necessary
to arrange for an intermediate
conference? wouldn't it have
been possible for the three SUI
preme leaders to assemble forth
with? The answer is that all
risks of failure or semifailure
must be sedulously avoided. Too
many people are apt to believe
that parleys between heads Of
governments are most Of the time
productive of satisfactory results.
The truth is that these meet
ings can be harmful as well as
beneficent.
For instance, the three or four
days spent in Moscow by Prime
Minister Churchill in the mid
summer Of l942 probably did not
strengthen the Anglo Russian
alliance. Temperamental clashes
occurred then which tampered
with the hands OF the clock.
Initiatives Permissible.
The end which Messrs. Roose-
welt and Churchill had in view
when they communicated with
Marshal Stain from Quebec was
assuredly to put in force between
their respective countries and
Russia a procedure OF permanent
consultation to rule out all sepa-
rate political moves by each Of
the three great governments con-
cerned. 1t is not enough that
these already should have en-
tered into obligations not to con-
clude any armistice or peace
independently OF one another.
Armistice and peace left apart,
many initiatives are still per-
missible under the existing
treaties (the pact Of the United
Nations Of January /, 1912, and
the Anglo-Russian alliance of
May 19, 1912 which, in the long
run, might make short work OF
