If the Redskins miss in their first
shot of the year at the New York

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-The 1943 ath-
letic path to which the Big Ten
committed itself with some appre-
tensions year ago has proved so
smooth that the Midwest intercol-
legiate body was downright vehem-
ent today in declaring its intention
of using the same program next
season-or even enlarging on it.
Athletic directors and faculty rep

Want Too Much

manpower than any of its rivals
the Washington club appeared in
position to get what it wanted
But the other clubs wanted too
much.
So now the Mats bosses have only
1alnt hope Of putting through a
helpful deal or two during the
winter.
Trade Talk Sized Up.
Here's what happened during the
four days of palavering at the ses-
sions of the major and minor
leagues, so far as the Mats were
concerned:
/. The Yankees were sounded on
possibility of shifting Snuffy Stirn-
weiss, extra shortstop, and some
other talent to the Mats for Bob

Keller, their slugging outfielder,
close to the draft, it was felt the
New York club would do business

PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
ESSENTIAL

I'VE can have full employment in
this country without destroying
private initiative, private capital,
or private enterprise" Vice Presi-
dent Henry Wallace declared in a
recent interview.
"The spirit of competition will
and must continue to be one of our
main driving forces" Mr.. Wallace,
who is also chairman of the Board
of Economic Warfare, declared,
Government can and must accept
the major responsibilities for filling
in whatever gaps business leaves.
"The more private enterprise sue
ceeds in maintaining full employ
ment, the less government spending
will be required. Individual initia-
tive and enterprise and government
responsibility for the general well
fare will continue to pull in double
harness for a better life for our
people. We need the driving force
of self-interest to get most of the
work of the world done," Mr.. Wal
lace said.

no ABSENTEES IN FOX HOLES

An ace of World War l, man ol
unquestioned loyalty, a man who
almost lost his life recently while
performing a service for his coun-
try, a man who knows what war is
all about from the pilots seat
Captain Edward V. Rickenbacked-
recently made the following COM
ments on the war production situa-
tion to a group of war workers in
Detroit.
There are no absentees in the
fox holes" Captain Rickenbacker
said. This is a most destructive
war. We need more planes, more
tanks. Our pilots and our planes
are the best in the world, but we
nyeed all we can get.
IF you could understand what
our boys are doing in those hell
holes throughout the Pacific and
the burning sands of Africa, in
order that your way of life may be
preserved and the character that
has made this nation great may be
carried on. you would not worry
about eight hours a day or double
time for Saturdays and holidays.
You should not worry about
whether you are producing too
much per man per day. No, you
would he and should be grateful for
the privilege of offering everything
you know how. For none of us are
doing so much that we cannot do
more. This is life-and-death
struggle for the welfare of this
nation.
You have no conception of what
your fellowmen are going through.
You on the home front are the force
that will bring defeat or victory.

God knows our boys need it,"

WAGES SIX TINES DIVIDENDS

In spite of the fact that American
industry has been largely respon-
sible for our high standard of living
i'm peacetime and for our high
standard of fighting equipment in
wartime certain critics persist in
their attacks on business.
Disregarding the fact that the
large corporations create and place
more wealth in the hands of the
workers than in those of the own
ers-these critics demand higher
and higher wages and advocate
higher and higher corporate taxes.
That the worker has an even
greater stake in the maintenance of
big business than the stockholder
is evident in the following table
which shows a ratio of more than
six to one in favor of the worker

1941
Dividends
$2.O2S.OOO,O0O
$319,0OO.OOO

From these figures which were
mentioned in recent issue of The
New York Times, it is apparent
that wages and salaries amounted
to many times the dividends paid to
stockholders in 1871. And in view
of higher wages, higher material
costs. narrower profit margins, and
higher corporate taxes the dispar-
ity between wages and dividends is
becoming much more pronounced
in favor of the worker.
At time when "our forward
progress in this war Aas depended
upon our progress on the produc-
ton front" and when it is to indus
try all must look for full employ
ment when the war is over, criti-
cism seems not only unsound but
an attempt to cripple the one most
prolific source of war equipment,
wages and taxes.
