Business Becomes Realistic

The American Business Congress,
through its Postwar Economic Plan
ming Committee, has put forth just about
the most realistic analysis of the rehabili-
tation problem we have yet seen. 1t
minces no words in pointing out that
Business, as such, is going to decide
whether this nation shall retain the free
enterprise system or shall adopt some form
Of state socialism There will be about
100000 demobilized soldiers, sailors,
marines, coast guardSmen, merchant
mariners and war workers for whom IN
dustry and commerce must provide jobs.
Government is obligated to cooperate
with business, but the prime RESPONSE
bility does not rest with government. 1t
rests with business. The committee "by
preponderant vote" believes that "a job
is due every man and woman who wants
to work" This is the very essence Of the
American philosophy. The world does not
owe anybody living, but it does owe
everybody the opportunity to earn liv-
ing. This war will end leaving huge
volume of civilian wants and needs. There
will be an enormous reservoir Of savings
with which to pay for the things we
haven't been able to buy for some time.
There will be also tremendous plant in
which to employ workers TO produce
needed commodities.
But, as the committee points out, low
wartime profits and high wartime taxa
ton, carried over into peacetime because
of the towering debt now being built up,
will leave business with relatively little
working capital. Business must take the
leadership in solving problems created by
these conditions. If government assumes
that responsibility, then government will
become business, ard we shall have state

Five little girls from Canada came to
the United States for the first time over
the weekend. Everybody is quite familiar
with the names, Marie, Emile, Yvonne,
Cecile and Annette Dionne who were in
Superior, Wis, to sponsor five cargo ships.
1t was a great event for the quins and
Superior event for Wisconsin. We dare
say that most Of us are quite familiar
with the names Of the five who came, also
their parents, but not quite so familiar
with Rose, Pauline, Daniel and Victor,
who also made the trip; nor with Olivia,
Jr, or Theresa who stayed at home.

The Paths of Righteousness

The Bible and war. How completely
alien, we say. And yet, the American
Bible Society," which is holding it's 127th
annual meeting today ION May 13th) at
it's headquarters in New York City, which
for so many years has made it's one bus
mess the production Of the Scriptures.
last year broke it's previous high records
of distribution of the Scriptures at home,
abroad, and in it's work for the Blind. 1t
is the war which is definitely opening new
paths and creating needs for the Book
toward which there is such a general
turning.
The world is indeed walking in new
paths today. Men at arms Women in
industry. Natives Of far-off climes, wear
ing the uniforms of empires and fighting
on battlefields in distant continents.
Thousands of American youths trudging
the hot sands of Africa's deserts, making
their camps in the jungle of tropical isles
serving their flag.
Winding everywhere among these
paths, crossing and recrossing, now bril-
liant and inviting, now hardly discerni-
BILE, are the paths of righteousness where
on any man may find his soul restored.
In a dark, disordered world the Bible
has gone everywhere to illumine the
paths of righteousness-the paths that
lead to the God and Father OF Jesus
Christ, who comforts, guides, upholds and
saves. 1t is in the pockets and the hands
and the hearts of millions OF armed men,
who are ready to die for the truth 1t
teaches. It has been opened in homes all
over America and elsewhere, where it has
been too long closed.
Never such confusion, never so many
treading new paths, never so many far
from home, never so much temptation,
never 30 much suffering, so widespread
across the world, and with 1t all, never
was the Bible more eagerly sought after,
never, possibly so earnestly read.

The Japanese spokesman who warned
that his nation will give assistance to the
axis, when we invade Europe, was not
kidding. He was merely talking ambigu-
ously.
He did not mean that Nipponese in
fantry, tank units and flyers will fight
side by side with Germans, Italians and
satellite troops, in all probability. What
he undoubtedly meant was that the
moment we cast the die in Europe, and
commit ourselves to an invasion on
which the fate of our civilization de-
ponds, Japan will strike vigorously and
effectively in the Orient.
Her preparations are made, her strik-
ing forces are in position. The crisis of the
war on both global fronts must be met
simultaneously. This is no time for phony
optimism This is the time to recognize
that the bloodiest days of this bloodiest
war are just ahead, and to prepare our
selves accordingly.

socialism in one form or other. The New
Deal reform program was made possible,
these business men concede, because for
years business defaulted in its obliga-
tons to Society. Further default would
tend to build up stronger government at
the expense of business.
A significant aspect Of this report is
that it comes, with virtual unanimity,
from heterogeneous committee that in
cludes industrialists of national note,
outstanding labor leaders, prominent
newSpapermen, leading merchants, ac-
tive bankers, well-known educators and
recognized farmer representatives. It's
membership is an excellent cross-section
of the nation. The leadership of such
a group could contribute greatly to saw
ing the American way of life in the trying
era Of postwar reconstruction.

Along with the capture Of Tunis and
Bizerte big weekend news was the sud-
den change in the weather, from practic-
ally winter temperature to summer, all
in the short space of about twelve hours.
Friday and Saturday the temperature
rose to about IS degrees and one could
almost see the leaves coming out, the
hedges becoming a fuller green, and a
slight tinge of green looking over the
landscape, which up to a few days ago
was still drab and brown for the most
part. Blossoms have been struggling
through the ground with the weather
against them. Last Friday was perhaps
the first day of the spring season that
furnaces were inactive, and that it was
possible to have windows up all day long.

Trade Agreements Are Blessed

1t must have been that chose 1900
business leaders were being chased by
gremlins when they sent warnings to
Congress that the trade agreement act
must be renewed as "the minimum basis
of United States postwar policy" The
trade agreements were made to expand
the exchange of goods between the ma
tionS and to serve as substitutes for the
protective tariff system Our Govern
ment bargained with Sweden and moved
it up close to monopoly on manufactur-
ing matches. Cuba was given preference
in sugar, even at the expense of U. S. and
cane sugar interests. The Dutch East
Indies have been supplying our rubber
under trade treaties made for their ben
eft. The trade treaties have given Latin
America undue advantages that even
Good Neghbors have no reason to ex-
pect. In short, trade treaties are far too
luxurious.
The old protective tariff system was so
elastic and pliable that the Democrats
used it during the Wilson Administration
under the plan they called tariff TOR
revenue only" The Underwood tariff
created an opening through which free
trade-emerged under the name Of trade
treaties.
In order to support this new tariff pro-
gram the President of the United States
was given authority to change the valu-
alton of the gold dollar and to exercise
new methods to stabilize the currency.
Most of the world market for America
cotton has been lost.
Great business organizations and in
dustries have always found way to car
ny on their foreign trade regardless OF
tariff, and the greater expense Of doing
it in American ships And so some of our
business men seek to ride the political
wave, and back up the Hull treaties
likely because they think he will win,
anyway.

Selected Poem
INLAND PORTS

(Glen Ward Dresbach In The New York SUM
Long shadows Of the docks
Are under the circling gulls
And the slow sounds Of water
Against the dark gray hulls
No tall masts on the sky
The lake boats low with ore
And grain are here-no cargoes
From an exotic shore.
No strange dark faces stare
Across the rail; the clamor
OF winches with their burdens
Is here-without the glamour
And bizarre colors, the scent
OF spice or the unknown
Breath Of far nostalgia
Never quite our own.
II you have known the ports
That smell OF Sandalwood,
Strange mixtures OF past and present,
Where youthful dreams have stood
Though filling needs Of the world
The inland ports must be-
You will long for the patched tramp steamers
And the wild tang Of the sea.

ity TO discern the future? Suppose
you knew not only the day upon
which you would die but could see
the future 50 clearly that tragedy
perhaps would be delineated before
your eyes. Would not every day be-
tween the disclosure Of those events
and the day on which they happen
ed be a season irdescribably agony?
The horror OF legal executions Is not
that men lose their lives, but that
for weeks they anticipate their vio-
lent end with ever increasing
anxiety.
No, we would not be happier If
We could look into the future. One
Of Gods most merciful provisions is
that He hides the future from us.
We are supposed TO i've our lives
day BY day, confident that every
day will take care Of itself, provided
we have put that day and It's hap
penIngs In the hands OF God.
