w. H. Churchill, treasurer, an
nounced today.

IL per cent.
During February, 1914, the COM
pany operated 131 stores, compared
with 137 in February, 1s43.
Security Bills Opposed.
Herbert A. Hedges, president of
the National Association of Life
Underwriters, addressing insurance
leaders here yesterday, described
the Wagner-Murray-Dingell "cra-
dle-to-the-grave" social security
bills as the most far-reaching and
dangerous proposals ever placed be-
fore the American people," which
would saddle the public with an an
nual expense of $10,000,000, 900 in
the very near future, and by the
time the program would reach its
peak in 1970-1975 the cost might
be 20 billion year, "a staggering
figure beyond the ability of our peo-
pie to meet"
Mr.. Hedges is in favor of some
such measure as the Bridges bill
and others which would allow indi-
viduals to deduct from gross in
come for income tax purposes an
amount paid as life insurance pre-
miums equal to 10 per cent of tax
payers net income or $1,000, which,
ever is the lesser.
Postwar Credit Held Ample.

Leonard P. Ayres says it seems
strange that Messrs. Baruch and
Hancock should have recommended

serve Board and the Smaller War

Wallace Suggests U.S..
Forget Trade Balance
To Gain Prosperity
Ey the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Mar. 18-Vice Presi-
dent Wallace suggests that the
United States might achieve post
war prosperity by making and send
ing abroad more goods than it
actually collects for in imports or
money.
Such procedure, Mr.. Wallace
said at postwar conference of the
American Business Congress last
night, might enable the United
States to continue after the war the
economy of abundance" and full
employment of the war period.
Mr.. Wallace, departing from his
prepared text, offered this idea in
the form of question, and, when
asked II balance of outgo and
income would have to be struck
later, said, THAT is a long answer"
and refused further comment.
Headed List of Speakers.
Mr.. Wallace's speech headlined
a group of addresses that included
optimistic postwar forecasts, for the
small businesses represented, from
a list of speakers that included
Maury Maverick, chairman of the
Smaller War Plants Corp; Wayne
G. Taylor, Undersecretary of Com
merce; Senators Burton of Ohio
and Murray of Montana, and Justice
Thurman Arnold of the United
States Court of Appeals
A similar Wallace speech. aimed
at broader national groups, such as
farmers, the New York Herald
Tribune said, was offered in tram
scription form to the majority of
the country's radio stations. The
transcribed speech differed in detail
from the ABC remarks, although it
also centered on the -produc-
ton, abundant-economy theme.
Declaring small businessmen we're
the foundation of the American eco
nomic system, Mr.. Wallace told the
ABC:
Defines Free Enterprise.
Free enterprise means that each
and every industry is open to new
capital and new firms-that all busi-
ness has free access to raw mate
rials, to labor, to technologies-that
producers have free access to the
markets in which they buy and sell
that all individuals in accordance
with their varying abilities and ir-
respective of color, race and creed,
have equal opportunities to work at
their chosen jobs
He declared himself for full pro-
duction, including use of war plants
after the war-still in Government
ownership and leased to private
operators-"to create the enlarged
national income required to support
q new American standard of living"
