There are many expressions of dsapproval these
days particularly from men in service of profits which
result from the war Included among those profits
rather spare industrial earnings after taxes
are deducted, wages of workmen and incomes of
farmers Servicemen point out that civilians at home
laying aside the greatest cash savings of all
history, while they who fighting the which
make such earnings possible can save little if any,
thing at all There are those who great injustice
in any profits which accrue from battle
On the surface such an argument is bound to
find considerable sympathy Who could deny that
the serviceman receiving $50 month is in no posi-
ton to lay aside against the days of peace,
while the fellow at home who twice that in a
week can save plenty?
But is that really an injustice? Let's think the
matter through
When the is and the soldier and sailor
comes marching home, the first thing he'll find
waiting for him is $500 cash bonus to carry him
through until he finds employment That bonus will
be paid, in part at least out of taxes on the earn
ngs of the civilians of today and out of the future
reserves of such workers Unless there earnings
on the civilian front now there be no soldiers
bonus tomorrow And that bonus will be vitality
needed
When the soldier and sailor goes looking for a
job in private industry, he find it only if the
wheels of industry kept whirling They will be
kept moving in direct ratio to: ID the cash position
of industrial companies of the nation after the
90 the buying power of the public Unless there are
profits today, there will be money for industrial
postwar change-overs necessary to supply jobs for
discharged servicemen Unless there wages enough
to allow civilian savings now, there will be only
limited buying power in the early days OF peace.
1t would not be sufficient to give employment to
the millions of discharged servicemen who will need
jobs.
So while it seems unfair that those who stay at
home build cash for the future the lads
who go would be in a bad way if such not the
1t is cash built which will keep the
nation economically sound after the war. Unless that
economic stability is preserved, servcenen will find
little for which to return

100 FIRST COMPANIES

The Trumanites found that of
the 100 companies getting 70 per-
cent of the war contracts, only nine
were free of excess profits in 1912
Here are some of the companies
and their lush profits unearthed
by the Truman sleuths
L. Jacobs Aircraft of Penna,
which made no profit before the
war, netted Sl1,400000 in 1912, of
which $1,000 600 was left after pay
ing taxes
~ General Gable OF New York
averaged s850,0o0 profit before the
war, but made sls.4000O0 in 1912.
so Lima Locomotive Works, of
Lima Ohio, averaged 100000 in the
base period before the war, but
made sl000o.0oo i'll 1912
80 Beech Aircraft of Wichita,
Kans., made no profit before the
war but Sl6.0O0,000 in 1912.
60 Bell Aircraft of Buffalo made
S43,80o before the war but in 1912
its profits had multiplied 528 times
to s23 100000. Even after paying
taxes it had a profit left of ST.
4O3 900.
ID Not merely war factories but
textile companies made lush profits
too. as indicated by the American
Wooden Company which made no
profit during the base period before
the war, but knocked off an oper-
ating profit of 6.574 900 in 1912.
80 Again Edward c. Budd Of
Philadelphia, the company which
Senator Guffey champions so lust
lily during Senate tax hearings,
came in for juicy profit Senator
Guffey for time threatened to
vote against renegotiation because
he said the Budd people had been
treated unfairly by the Navy. How
over the Truman Committee found
that Budd had made a profit of
S18,650, 900 in 1912, compared with
$3.50. 900 before the war Later the
Budd Company complained because
the Navy insisted on renegotiating
its profits down to $3,796,000, even
though this latter figure was 10
times its average profit before the

al Service Act, long operating IN
England, there were 1888 English
strikes involving manpower loss
of 100000 man-days. Taking into
account the larger population Of
this country, u S. strikes were only

even without a national service
act.
President Roosevelt didn't know
it, but the Truman Committee had
prepared some devastating evidence
supporting him on one of the most
controversial phases of the tax bill
-renegotiation Of war contracts.
Nevertheless, all the members Of
the committee except Mead of New

Wallgren of Washington voted to
override his tax bill veto.

The Truman Committee also
found that if the Army-Navy's
power to renegotiate contracts had
been "emasculated by Senate am
endments, the gratitude of the
people would have been transformed
into shocked resentment"
Note The tax bill as finally
passed over the Presidents veto
did partially emasculate the Army
Nays power of renegotiation. In
the end Senator Guffey voted to
uphold the President.

who gave an interesting review NJ
the book, Mother Russia" by Mat
rice Hindus. She told how the youth
OF Russia have given their lives ia
guerrilla warfare against the Ger.
mans. The women, she said, have
equal rights with the men and en-
terinto all occupations and profes-
sions, from farming to physicians.
About half Of the doctors are wom-
en-. Religion, OF course, Is prohibit.
cd in Russia, but not in the homes.
II religion is ever found in Russia,
she said, It will be found In the
homes, as Russia makes a great
deal OF family life. In speaking OF
morals. they are high; even smok-
ing and drinking are looked down
upon by most OF the young people.
In the way OF culture and music,
they still honor the old German
Masters, but hate the present con.
dition.
Miss Case concluded her review
by quoting the author, Either Eng

Attendance Less

Approximately 500 less persons
participated In the playground rec

public schools during the week OF
August 2S-September 2, attracting

attendance reached 2.425, Alfred
Brose, recreation director, annuonc-
ed.
The decline In the number at
tending was probably due TO the
necessary reorganization OF the rec
reation program brought about by
the several days extension OF the
recreational events because the
school opening was postponed, Mr..
Bros said.
Simmonds boasted an attendance
OF 1897, while Foster playground
