Capitalism's Grave Diggers
 Rv Ben Dor
LPA Colurnnist

Do you believe in free enter. prise?
 If you do, mister, you sure ought to be worried, because your favorite economic system is doing its damned est to commit suicide. And standing by, to make sure the operation takes, is the Congress of these free but unit ed states.
 Take the matter of the monopolies, for instance. Back in the last century, the people decided that free enterprise and the monopolies just couldn't live together. So they passed kind of weak and puny antitrust law, and put few lawyers to work enforcing it.
 Business got along we'll with the law for long time because nobody really tried to make the divorce stick. However, when the New Deal came along, the Justice Dept. be- gan to take the law seriously. They actually broke up some of the mOnopolies that had been getting along SO well up until then.
 As the New Deal petered out, the war swept in. During the war it was shown how the American monopolies helped to arm Hitler and weaken their own country. That made people mad at the monopolies, and the Justice Dept. is still operating on the anger that was worked up against the giants. The Dept. is still trying to save some parts ot the economic system for free enterprise
 So guess who moves in to pro. tect the mOnOpOlists against the bad, bad boys in the Justice Dept? If you guessed Congress you guessed right.
 Example 1-The Railroads
 The latest case of intervention by Congress against free enterprise in- volve the railroads.
 The railroads have one of the best operating monopoly organiza. tions in the country. It is run by the big lines, and they use it to keep the little independents from improving service and from cutting rates. The railroad association does swell job of making sure that there is no competition or free en. terprise in this country.
 The association has used its power to keep freight rates rigged so that they favor the manufacturers in the northeastern part of the country against their southern and western competitors This has gotten it into trouble with one of the younger south ern governors, Ellis Arna1l of Geor- gia, Now Arnall and the Justice Dept. are pouring the heat on the railroads to break up the monopoly and bring some free enterprise into railroading
 As you might expect, Congress has jumped onto its snow white horse and is dashing out to save the poor little railroads from Ar. nall and justice.
 If the railroad lobbyists get away with it, Congress will pass the Bull wrinkle Bill, to exempt the railroads from the antitrust law. And the railroads will be able to go on thumb ing their noses at you, me, Arna11, and tree enterprise. It is too early to tell how the bill is coming out, but knowing Congress, I'm not betting on free enterprise.
 Example 2-Insurance Once before Congress tried the same stunt. That time the lobbyists were trying to save the insurance companies from prosecution. The bill almost passed before progressive Rep. Charles LaFoI- lette (R., Ind.) moved in and put the kibOsh on it. But for him. and the few others who were willing to tell the public what the scheme meant, we wouldn't have the slim

 Probably the biggest single piece of sabotage of employment that OPA has pulled in recent times is the order taking ceilings off of the machinery industry. When OPA did the job, it had in its files a statement from labor that the order would wreck our chances of full employment. It also had report made by Robert Nathan's new, private research organization, paid for by some machinery manufac- turers, which warned OPA against taking that action.
 But the order went Out-fOrced out by the National Association of

8. How does a. man manage to
get enough to eat when he is a slow
eater and having dinner with
friends who eat twice as fast as he
does? Is it permissible for him to
make them all sit and wait until he
has a second serving?"
Answer-He either must learn to
eat faster, having something before
he goes or else assuage his hunger
elsewhere after he leaves. To keep
the others waiting while he takes a
second helping certainly would not
add to his popularity as guest in
that house.
9. "Is it permissible for a man to
wear sports jacket and plain
trousers to a business office?"
Answer-Not in a great city. In a
country town. possibly, depending
upon what others do.
10. "Since girl is supposed to
greet man first when they meet on
the street. should he pass her by
without a glimmer of recognition
when she looks his way and says
nothing?"
Answer-The formal rule is that
lady bows to a gentleman first,
but this has nothing whatever to
do with the informal behavior of

And now another woe has been
added to the married women's bur-
den, for the war seems to have un-
domesticated thousands of husbands
who have reverted to the wild, and
thereby rendered null and void all of
their wives efforts to tame them.
And why this should be, why the

been happy and contented, purring

attired in the very finest of ma
terials, usually in scraps taken from
the original designs that Paris pre-
sented this season.
The costumes the dolls wear, small
as they are, are unbelievably accu-
rate in every detail. Headdresses
feature glycerated ostrich, jeweled
turbans. and hairbands of jeweled
embroidery. The handbags they
carry have tiny gold frames and
clasps. Their gloves are handmade
and often seam stitched in accent
ing colors. Even the tiny IL Inch
long shoes point out all of the new
modes; intricate cross straps, nail
head trim, and so on.
Naturally, the fashions shown in
this exhibit are not the fashions
that French women are wearing to-
day. They are the dreams for her
for tomorrow. If there is any de-
sired outcome behind this exhibit
perhaps it is the hope to bring
American buyers to France to help
rebuild the fashion industry there
where it is as much a matter of the
industrial life blood of the country
as is the manufacture of automo-
biles here in the United States.

The Theatre de la Mode exhibit,
which arrived in New York last
week, straight from Paris cou-
turiers tells beautiful story. The
exhibit is being sponsored by the
American Relief for France and is
something that every world and
fashion conscious woman will want
to see-or at least to hear about.
The feud between Paris and
America as to which will set the
worlds fashion pace has died. AL
most before the question arose,
there was a reconciliation stemming
from the realization that there is
much to profit both sides in an
exchange of fashion ideas Every
woman who follows fashion with
any degree of interest has been on
the look out for postwar Paris de-
signs, coupled with fashion fore
casts on American styles. There
fore. when an exhibit such as the
Theatre de Mode" arrives on oul
shores, especially created by Paris de-
signers, hairdressers, and so on. it

The exhibit consists of two or
three hundred dolls, each one about
third natural size. These dolls
are dressed with beautiful perfec-
tion, right down to the smallest de-
tail. True, France is hard pressed

cause it is wreeking so many homes
and breaking so many women's
hearts. There isn't day that my
mail isn't weighed down with tear
sodden letters from anguished and
bewildered wives who say that their
husbands have come home from the
war SO changed that they scarcely
know them.
I'VE had always been so happy
together" woman will say, "and
my husband had loved his home and
been so fond of the children and me
but now he is bored to death at
home. He criticizes everything I
do, and he is so cross with the child
rem that they are scared of him
And many and many another wife
writes that she has had to take the
baby to mother while she gets job
to support it and herself, because
her husband has told her that he
doesn't know why, but he has fallen
out of love with her. and that he is
leaving her.
1t is a sardonic reward that these
women receive, after they have
prayed so fervently for their hus-
bands to return safely to them, and
have worked so hard to keep together
the little homes for them to come
back to, to find out that their hus-
bands have lost their love for them

MOTHERS DAY PLANT.

from Mrs. NJ. r. c., Washington. J
Something should be done about
this Mothers Day racket when it
comes to gypping our boys, who have
tried to show us their love and af-
fection by sending flowers to us on
this occasion. My son, who is in the
Navy at a distant base, mailed IS
to a local florist-one of the largest
and fanciest in town, by the way
directing that flowers be sent to me
on Mothers Day.
The flowers came-and a more
pitiful assortment I have never
seen. For my sons hard-earned IS
the florist condescended to send me
three wilted carnations, three iris,
a spike of some hideous pink thing
broken-and two stalks of stock and
one snapdragon. My son would have
been miserable had he seen the COL
lection.
Naturally, my own reaction to this
Is gratitude for my sons thought of
me. BUT I feel strongly that it is
most unfair of the f1orists-Who are
1dls sCIy lol tlllo Nlob1lCl
Day business, anyway-to take ad-
vantage of the fact that the boys
who do spend the thought and the
money will not see their gift-and
unscrupulously cheat them. My
husband knew how much my son
had sent the florist, as he had writ
ten to him about it-so this is one
time when there can be no doubt in
the matter-the florist did not give
value received in his absence in the
service of his country.
Have other mothers had this same
experience? And, if so, can't We
do something about it?
