 To you, it was heavenly Spring day that just had to be celebrated in some way Besides, you were so bored with all the talk and headlines of war;
 To our men on Attu, it was the fifteenth day ot ncessant fighting That is to those who had not been killed or put out of action with wounds or frozen teet They hadn't slept for days; their sunburned faces ached: their heads and boards and woolcovered bod ies itched their feet dry The dead lay all about them in the fog and snow-an occasional Jap, twisted grotesquely in death, over the body of an American.
 But inc biggest push of the battle just ahead. They had to attack a Jap-held plateau called the Bench, which meant scaling steep clf in the face of continuous gunfre from the Japs, srnugly en- trenched on top The final 25 yards steep the soldiers had to drag themselves up by plungng their rifle butts into the snow.
 The Japs lay quietly in wait until our men were almost to the summit Then without rising from their fox holes, they rolled grenades down them Three times groups of Americans scaled up the cliff = to be blown to eternity.
 And sUddenIy-one American stood alone on the Bench With his rifle poi7ted down. he walked delib- erate1y from one fox hole to another, shooting into them with deadly accuracy Impervious to the Jap STenaQeS al1 aDOuC lie WenC OH, llQay uS11lR HIS gun butt to bash the aps as they tremb1ed in their holes.
 He was still bashing away when our troops finally reached him.
 Asked later how he did it, he explained his best friend had been killed they started up the slope and he didn't remember anything after that
 Asked by his Colonel what he wanted, he said since he'd been Corporal so long, Sergeants stripes would be nice.
 He got his stripes and he's mighty gratifed. He did not get invitation to your party but that's alright he was too busy to attend.

The Wallace Execution

They gained entrance to the
convention on forged tickets.
They raised storm of class,
sectional and even racial divisions
and animosities in his behalf.
They fought bitterly, and LOST
bitterly.
DUT after all, they will soon reflect
ID or will be CURLY reminded from
Moscow they already had and still
have Mr.. Roosevelt.
And Mr.. Roosevelt is entirely
satisfactory to Russian born Sidney
Hillman of the CLIO political action
lists.
He is satisfactory to Earl
Browder of the now camouflaged but
unchanged Communist party in the
United States.
He is especially and avowedly
satisfactory to "Pravda," the Com
munist publication in Moscow which
has endorsed him and is openly cam
paigning for him.
The blunt truth is that Mr..
Roosevelt did not NEED Mr.. Wal
lace and, being somewhat embar.
raised by him, most effectively and
quite nonchalantly DISPOSED OF
him.

THE political execution of Vice
l. President Wallace was actually
and expertly, callously and almost
casually, accomplished by President
Roosevelt.
The Democratic national conven-
tion merely administered the coup de
grace.
The Presidents letter" was
the real instrument of execution.
The convention was just the
basket into which the head fell.
The fatal weakness of Mr.. Wal
lace was in the fact that the only
support he could bring to the fourth
term ticket was COMMUNISTIC
support.
OINCE Mr.. Roosevelt already has
- communistic support, and is in
fact the presidential candidate of the
Communist party-both the Amerl-
can and the Moscow branches-he
probably thought that one Com
unist-approved candidate on the
ticket was enough.
Mr.. Wallace was indisputably
THE vice presidential candidate of
the Communist political actionists at
the Democratic national convention.
They packed the galleries to
support him.

The Key to Postwar Jobs

must be unshackled after the war,
has just been compiled by the spe-
cial committee of the United States
Senate which was created on Oct. s,
1910, to study the problems of small
business"
This report completely refutes
the left-wing fiction that "free en-
terprise" is system of "monOpo-
lies" and of exploitation" ruth
lessly dominated by economic royal
ists,' and fit only to be supplanted
by socialism.
The committee finds, instead,
that not only do "big business" and
little business" exist side by side,
but both are necessary, and that lit
tie business" in serving an enormous
number of community needs, pro-
vides the livelihoods of an enormous
number of families.

THE report recognizes that "mO-
i nOpOlistic practices" occur and
must be restrained, which was the
reason why antitrust laws were
enacted. but it notes that enforce
ment of the antitrust laws has been
largely ineffective" because of their
misapplicatiOn.
1.-THE antitrust laws" says the
report, "were conceived in an era
when BIGNESS was frequently con-
fused with MONOPOLY"
Accordingly, the committee, with
this clear insight, avoids the same
fallacy in its treatment of the re-
quirements and Importance of small
business"
It's report says:
1.-THE committee. charged with
the responsibility of aiding this i'm
portant segment of the economy,
realized at the outset that it was
both FUTILE and UNDESIRABLE
to oppose bigness in business as such.

SINCE 194O...
"The committee believes that this
section of our economy must be re-
stored to its proper competitive posi-.
ton IF THE NATIONS COM
MERGE AND INDUSTRY are not
to stagnate in the postwar period
TN FORMULATING a "small bust
L ness postwar program for Con-
gress, therefore, the Senate COM
mittee proposes not to put "big bust
ness" out of business, or to have the
government take it over" simply
because it is "big," but rather to
assist "small businesses" to revive,
and to increase in number, AND TO
INCREASE IN SIZE, while also
enabling "big business" to perform
its irreplaceable functions.
To this end, the committee has
determined, THE FEDERAL GOV
EMINENT WILL HAVE TO
ABATE IT'S CONFISCATORY
TAX POLICIES AS THE FIRST
ESSENTIAL.
The report says:
1.-THE achievement of full employ
ment in the postwar era will necessi-
tate a general forward surge of the
economy, which will, of course, mean
THE EXPANSION OF MANY
SMALL CONCERNS NOW IN EN-
ISTENCE, and, even more impOr-
tant, THE ENTRY OF MANY
THOUSANDS OF NEW ENTER
PRISES.
Both of these developments will
require large number of relatively
small investments of equity, or risk
capital.
'If such investments are TO he
made, prospective investors must be
stimulated by the opportunity to
earn a return commensurate with
the risk taken.
ut is, therefore, prime requi-
site of the full employment economy
that equity capital investors in small
businesses shall have REASON
ABLE HOPE OF SUBSTANTIAL
PROFITS if their enterprises are
successful, and that small business
prOprietOrs shall be encouraged To
PLOW BACK PROFITS INTO
THE EXPANSION OF THEIR
BUSINESSES by allowing them to
retain sufficient portion of their
businesses earnings to PERMIT
such Refreshments.
under wartime tax laws many
small manufacturers have found 1t
impossible to accumulate reserves
for postwar recOnversiOn or eXpan-
sion. -.
Even before the war, the trend
of BUSINESS TAXATION made
investment in smaller enterprises
steadily less attractive, since the per-
centage of profits remaining to the
small businessman after the pay
ment of taxes became increasingly
less prOpOrtlOnate 10 the risk anu
effort involved"
TN POINT Of fact, however the
1 same principle applies to ALL
business enterprise, whether 1t be
BIG or SMALL.
The Senate committee frankly
acknowledges this fact by saying:
"ANY POLICY of taxation
which discOurages business expan-
sion through legitimate risk taking
is harmful BOTH TO THE Ma
TIONAL ECONOMY and TO THE
GOVERNMENTS TOTAL REAL
IZATION OF REVENUE

to meet the postwar unemployment

progress in several fields. We are
told, for example, that there were no
poor" families In the Inca empire.
All had enough to eat, and could
get the clothes and shelter they
needed.
If the Incas had no poor families.
they did have some which were rich.
The wealthy people were members
of the royal family and high gov
ernment officers. Vast stores of
treasure, chiefly gold, had been
gathered for them.
The gold made the Spaniards
anxious to gain power in this part
of South America. They took all
the golden cups, plates and other
objects they could lay hands on.
Gold and silver mines were opened
in Peru and Indians were forced to
work In them. Thus the Spanish
treasury was filed. The officers in
charge Of the mines grew rich from
the shares which were allowed to
them.
The Incas had no gold coins, but
they used gold to decorate temples,
and sometimes for images of the
gods. Their chief deity was the
god of the SUM-" A legend said that
the Inca emperor was descended
from the sun god. This idea Is
strangely like the old Japanese tale
which says that Japan's emperor Is
descended form sun goddess.
There are stories of great treas
ures which the Incas hid from the
Spaniards. Thousands of dollars
have been used up by gold hunters
who have looked for such treasures.
Perhaps the tallest tale speaks Of
"a solid gold chain almost 1000
feet long" which was cast into a
certain lake. That lake has been
dragged, but no trace Of the chain
has been found.
Hundreds of rivers have cut deep
valleys In Peru's mountains. The
Incas sometimes put light wooden
bridges across such valleys. When
there is no solid bridge, q present.
