committed suicide. His body was
found practically decapitated by a
shell splinter or explosive charge
which had caught him full in the
neck, almost tearing his head from
his body.
The bodies Of Goebbels and his
family also were badly burned. but
were identified by the Russians
without too much difficulty.
The Russians have given no hint
as to how the bodies of Hitler, Goeb-
bels and other Nazis found in Berlin
have been disposed of. This probably
will remain a secret for all time to
guard against the possibility of
Nazi fanatics trying to recover the
bodies

Business Speaks Up

Race and group tensions are lncreaS-
ing to an alarming degree. Men and women
who should know better-who do know bet
ter-allow themselves to mouth the catch
phrases of anti-SemitiSm and anti-foreign-
ism, of anti-buSineSS, or anti-labor, anti
farm. Most of them are not themselves
aware that they have been infected by the
virus Of intolerance which already has the
whole world writing in the fatal fever of
war
Viewed from the narroWeSt vantage
point of the nations well-being, quite aside
from human and moral considerations, the
growth of doctrines of race and group
hatredS represent a major economic
threat 80"
There are some in our cOuntry-induS-
trialiStS, white collar workers, laboring peo-
ple-who hold to the myth that economic
progress can be attained on the principle of
an unbalanced see-saw They think that if
some groups can be forever held down, the
others will forever enjoy economic priv
ilegeS and prosperity at the end which is
up"
Fortunately it does not work that way.
Any advantage thus gained must be paid
for out of the fruits of the productive plant.
The withholding of jobs and business oppor-
tunities from some people does not make
more jobs and business opportunities for
others Such policy merely tends to drag
down the whole economic level. Perpetual
ing poverty for some merely guarantees
Stagnation for all. True economic progress
demands that the whole nation move for
ward at the same time. 1t demands that all
artificial barriers erected by ignorance and
intolerance be removed. To put it in the
simplest terms, we are all in business to-
gether. Intolerance is a species of boycott
and any business or job boycott is a cancer
in the economic body of the nation. Intol-
erance is destructive. Prejudice doesn't pay.
Discrimination is FOOLS economy"
These forceful words are from recent
speech of Eric Johnston, President of the
United States Chamber of Commerce. So
business adds its voice to those who warn
us about the rising tide of intolerance. But
no speeches, no written word can save us.
Our own attitudes must change.

Spreading The Net

The stage is being set to put the gov
eminent into the telephone business with
an appropriation of $100,00000O, after the
pattern of the Rural Identification Admin
istration. Public officials are attacking the
telephone industry, including thousands of
small independent companies, for alleged
failure to sufficiently increase the number
of rural telephones. In a nation that has
more telephones than all the rest of the
world put together, it seems a bit ridiculous
to start blackening the industry that made
this record.
1t would be interesting to know whether
any of the gentlemen fostering this further
step toward socialism, lives on farm and
has tried to get a telephone during the last
several years. If he has, he knows that he
could not get phone because of the various
war restrictions He knows that he couldn't
buy telephone wire, and he couldn't buy a
telephone. He knows that the local tele-
phone companies are prohibited from allow
ing him any material or making connec-
ton for him unless he happens to be a gov
eminent official, or doing certain war work
Given the material, there is no doubt
that thousands of farm telephones would
be installed within short time without any
Observation-Disclosures appropriation of tax
payers funds. Just how installation of tele-
phones with public funds would be any
less damaging to the war effort than private
installation, is not made clear. But, as Fran
els x. WEIGH, writing from Washington,
says: "At least we have right to expect
that responsible Federal agencies should
present the picture fairly with all relevant
facts in the true perspective. If that is done,
the telephone industry will surely not
shrink from its responsibility, whatever that
may be in the future"

Pass Ammunition Nm
Not Law!

A fact-finding survey conducted by the
National Association of Manufacturers,
whose $4,000 members are turning out more
than IS per cent of American arms and
equipment for victory, shows that stiff war
production schedules are being met.
They are being met by concerted action
among management, labor, and local War
Manpower Commission officials on a COM
munity-by- community, plant-by-plant basis
by voluntary means, not by labor draft.
Latest WPB figures report production
gains of from 20 per cent in tires and trucks
to $50 per cent in aircraft, and more than
200 per cent in rockets, in the face of con-
stantly mounting schedules.
These gains demonstrate that manage
ment and labor both, knowing the need, will
meet the requirements of the armed forces.
The Army and Navy need stuff to fight with
not legislation!

Ii Makes Wires HUM

In accord with WPB directive issued
the early part of this month, Wyandotte
business places have extinguished outdoor
advertising and display lights as their part
in the nationwide effort to conserve cleo
trio power
The move was necesSitated when the
countrys coal stockpile hit an all-time low
due to lack of available transportation facil-
tiles and recent strikes by miners. Few peo-
pie realize the part coal plays in producing
the electric light and power. In October
1914, according to the Federal Power Com
mission; fuel burning electric generating
plants produced Is, 450, 1894 900 kilowatt hours
Of electricity; water power plants produced
less than half that amount.
Fifty-five percent of all electric energy
is generated from bituminous coal. Last
wear, for electric utilities, railroads, fac
tories, homes and farms, over 100000, 600
tons of coal were produced.

There Is no
Benevolent Despofism

The chances of getting our labor laws
amended at present so as to make them
fair to labor, industry and the public, seem
very remote. Instead of creating labor her-
mony, our laws have pitted labor against
industry, when as a matter of fact labor
and industry are as dependent on each
other as the heart and the stomach.
So-called "labor laws" are as much a
misnomer as would be the term industry
laws" Law is law, and it should apply to
all alike. One of the menaces to future
democracy in this nation are pressure
groups which claim to control blocS of votes
and, with this as a club intimidate law
makers into passing class legislation.
Members of Congress are interested in
preserving the liberty of all labor and all
the people, rather than in building up lead
ers who have shown their defiance of gov
eminent and our armed forces by their re-
peated disregard of no-strike pledges, and
the earnest pleas of the President for un-
interrupted production.
The American working man is now
controlled by what may at first seem to
be benevolent labor deSpotiSm, which per-
haps temporarily gives special groups adj
vantageS But this deSpotism is becoming
an evil force that is destroying the indie
pendence of American labor AS the Rev
erend Norman Vincent Peale, DID,, says,
wage earnerS are being used to furnish
subservient backs upon which ambitious
men NAV climb to power over their fellows"

largest active crater in the world,
called Kiluea. Within this crater is
another deep hole called Halemau-
mau. 1t is within Halemaumau that

around 1896 some native was let

"oddest walk in the world" is across

In making this interesting hike Of

THE BIG ISLAND


At the easternmost end of the
Hawaiian chain OF islands lies Ha-
wall, the biggest, yet the youngest
Of the islands. 1t is here that Pele,
the ancient volcano goddess, makes
her last stand against the inroads
of civilization. And it Is here that
the traveller can see Pele's handi-
work at remarkably close quarters.
The whole island centers around
two towering peaks, each nearly
$4,000 feet high. Perhaps that does
not sound very high, but when you
stand at sea level and gaze upon
their gentle slopes. you'll gasp at
their majestic loftineSs. And at
the very top of Mauna Kea you can
usually see a snow cap rather a
remarkable sight for a tropic isle.
Mauna Loa stands only a couple
of hundred feet lower than Mauna
Kea, but unlike her taller and elder
sister, Mauna Loa is the stage
where Pele produces the last of her
magnificent spectacles that brought
these islands into being. Perhaps
you remember the last time Mauna
Loa overflowed, only three years
ago. The flow threatened the town
OF Hilo and army planes bombed
the lava stream in an attempt to
divert it. Fortunately the flow
ceased before any damage was done.

More Earnings For All

The Senate War Contracts Sub-commit-
tee, headed by Sen. James E. Murray, has
prepared legislation which, in Senator Muir
rays words, is "a bill to guarantee full en-
ployment" 1t is important that all Ameri-
cans know now the full implications of the
Murray bill, and vigorous discussion OF Its
aims and procedures are called for both IN
Congress and out, if we are to have peace
time prosperity.
Both right and left-wing economists
agree that high degree of prosperity can
not be achieved in the country without
high rate of production They also agree
that the problem now facing us is not one
of learning how to produce but, rather, Of
seeing to it that there is sufficient consump-
tion-for without sufficient consumption,
the things we make will gather dust and rot
in warehouses.
This, then, is the key to postwar pros
perity-maintaning a high rate of produc-
ton by stimulating high rate of consump-
ton.
Right now we have the greatest pro-
ductive capacity in all history. Some of it
was built for war and will have to be re-
built for peace. That can and will be done
in the shortest possible space of time.
In rebuilding it, however, steps must
somehow be taken to make sure we shall
be able to buy the things our farms and
our factories produce.
Some people feel that this can be done
through government spending-and the fact
is, that it can be, temporarily. The trouble
is that such spending would only lead us
further into debt-at a time when further
debt would put the most severe strain on
our economy.
Such spending can only be accom-
plished through further borrowing and bor-
rOwed money has to be paid back through
taxes-taXes that eventually would eat in
to every pay envelope and so actually re-
duce purchasing power. AS President Roose-
welt has said, Taxes are paid in the sweat
of everyone who laborS."
Obviously, therefore, it must be done
on more practical basis-and can be done
on basis of far-sighted business policy.
1t can be done by using our productive
capacity to provide us with more for our
money in the things we buy, so that we can
buy more-and so create more jobs and
more earnings for all
Under such policy, continuing pros
perity and constantly increased standard
of living can be achieved and maintained
for everyone in our economy.

LETTER BOX
1924 Nardin,
Detroit, 4, Michigan.

To the Editor:
The war souvenir show in Detroit
is creating a great deal of interest.
Thousands of people are willing to
lend their souvenirs for the public's
inspection and the people showed
their appreciation by packing the
auditorium.
Soon the souvenirs will be re-
turned to their owners and most Of
them will be laid away to gather
dust.
The thought occurred to me that
most war souvenir owners would
like to share their gifts with others
They are proud to have others know
the story behind their possessions,
and would gladly give them to the
public if they were properly dis
played and cared for.
Inasmuch as Wyandotte has no
historical museum but must depend
on nearby communities for culture
of this kind, I offer the following
thought for consideration.
Propose to the Wyandotte resi-
dents who have war souvenirs that
a war shrine be erected in the vi
cinity of the public library to be
financed by popular subscription
that the shrine be a museum to
house these souvenirs.
feel that if the people knew that
their gifts would be forever cared
for, that they would be of interest
to students of history, they would
be proud to help establish such an
institution in Wyandotte.
incidentally this could be a me-
mortal to all Wyandotte boys and
girls who served their country.
