THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet ws tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, Sometimes Gippantly, ssme-
times recklessly.
THE

1t is as plain as the nose on your
face. Maybe you've noticed it.
Big Business is taking itself for a
buggy ride, having wonderful time,
spending large folding money so that
everybody will see it go rolling down
the street.
Big Business is talking about itself
by the page, in newspapers, in maga-
zines and on the air.
1t is telling how wonderfully it is
helping to win the war.
This industry and that industry is
shouting in type and pictures about
its indispensability in the war effort.
The way it reads, you'd think that
the fighting men almost take second
place. BY golly, industry is right in
there pitching.
Well, industry is in there pitching.
No doubt about that But so is labor
and so are millions of little people who
can't take big display space to brag
about what they are doing.
julius Hochman of the ILGWU did
a good job in an article about the self
glorifcation of industry. He points
out that practically all of the adver-
tising follows the pattern laid down
by the National Association of Manu-
facturers, which it does.
And the purpose back of the
lavish use of advertising space is
not to win the war but to get in
dustry into position to get the
kind of legislation it wants, to
precent the kind it does not want,
to be right where the saddle is
after the war-and probably to
cut down its income tax payments
meanwhile and simultaneously.
It's great circus that Big Business
is staging and it bears watching.
After all, several million men in
uniform are in there pitching, too,
either on battle fronts or in prepara-
tion for them.
Some pretty good work already has
been done. Such work gets told about
in terse communiques. Private Bill
Smith does not take a full page to
say, "Look what ! just did,"
Not by jugful he doesn't.
This lawdation of itself by Big
Business, which gets paid for all it
does, is distinctly in bad taste. 1t
smells and the smell is very smelly.
Probably nothing can be done about
it and maybe nothing is needed
But at least we can keep ourselves
from being kidded and we can be
watchful of the building up of reac-
tionary tendency that might, without
too much trouble, defeat after the war
all that was fought for in the war.
Labor isn't doing too well in the
public mind. Partly this is because of
its own lack of skill in public rela-
tions. Partly, too, it is due to the mil
lion dollar blasting by business in it's
great display advertising campaign.
Business is selling the country on
the righteousness of Industry, with
capital "I".
Labor gets rather wicked anti
labor bill in Congress, which may be
spiked by Veto
Labor gets some state laws, the
latest of which comes from Florida,
providing for registration of unions
and licensing of business agents,
along with regulation of initiation

from the New Guinea area that on
his last mission he shot down a

was too busy fighting off enemy
planes that didn't get to see il
crash, therefore II was listed as

JUNIOR HIGH SELLS OVER
$4,000 WORTH OF STAMPS

Say kids, have you heard what
has been happening in the jun
ior high school during the last
month? Those students have
been buying war stamps and
bonds to purchase a "jeep".
Their total sales from the fiji
teenth of March was S2,490.95.
OF this amount, S2O69.95 worth
of stamps and bonds was bought
on Tuesday of last week. Now,
instead of having enough money
to buy one "jeep", they have en-
ough to purchase two.
The high school isn't any,
where near its goal of-9OO. 90.
What's the matter, kids? Are
you saving your pennies in a
piggy bank" SO you can accum-
ulate enough to buy a thousand
dollar bond, too? If so, let us
drop a little hint. If you buy
stamps with your pennies now,
the school will reach its goal
sooner, and you won't be temp
ted to spend your pennies for
something else, and after you
get several stamp books filled,
you can turn them in and still
get that thousand dollar bond.
You won't lose anything and
you'll give our school and nation
a boost if you invest your money
in stamps and bonds now, so
that we can send a "jeep" into
the army soon.
