When Edison perfected his cle-
ctric light in 1879. thousands of
men employed in the gas-lighting
industry and in making candles
cried aloud that they would be
jobless-that the use of electricity
endangered mankind"
Wiser heads guided the gas in
duStry into other fieldS-the use of
gas for home cooking, as a source
of industrial power-and today the
industry employs many times the
number it did when EdisOn's lamp
created a new industry.
New Jobs Created
AS for the candle makers, the
standard of living in the u. S. has
been so increased by the inventions
and developments of men like Edi-
son that more candles are now
used for decorative purposes than
were used IS years ago when they
were a necessity.
instead of causing uncmplOy-
mcnt, inventions like Edison's S
light create whole new fields of
employment. The power and light
industry in America today employs
more than 300,000 men and women.
If the gloomy thinkers had been
right, Edison with his 1,000-Odd in
ventions would have been a nation
al catasprOphe. Instead, says
Charles F. Kettering, inventor and
research specialist. - industries
with total capitalization in excess
of 20 billions of dollars and employ
ing more than four million men and
women can be directly traced to
the things Edison did. That's a
lot of doing"

Pointing this out last week, the
National Association of Manufac-
turers emphasized that this would
mean that 40 per cent of the CIO-
proposed S5,100.O00.OO wage in
crease would be subsidized in eff
feet Ivy the u. S. Treasury-and
eventually by Americas taxpay-
ers in general.
Low Incomes Hit
Individual income taxes would
have to be increased $50 on each
500 of incOme-and it would bear
particularly hard OH white-collar
workers, beneficiaries of life in

ton to Il table listing "Nathans S

and remarked:
"The table makes plain fact

"Of the $5.100.000000 which he
proposes to be paid to workers Tin
the form of wage increases), only
$4,000 100000 is paid by corpora

Enough children who quarrel
continually with their playmates
will produce, when they are
grown, the kind OF nations which
don't cooperate with others. The
impatiCncC that flares to anger
when siXyear-old Sam cannot
have everything he wants is the
same impatience that snaps when
a business conference is Snarled.
The selfishncsS which snatches d
toy and holds it from others is the
same SeltiShneSs which cannot
give the other fellow an inch in
trade. Quarrcls over trade have lit
the fires of many wars.
On the other hand the child who
will set the table, NOW the lawn
or run an errand for a sick neigh
Dor can well become the coopera-
tive Individual who will work pa
ticntly with others month after
month to help solve Il labor-man-
agement quarrel that might have
led to strikes, unemployment and
depression. Depression breeds fast
the germs Of discomfort that fO-
ment war. Hitler and Muss0lini
could never have risen to power
if their countries had not been
plagued by such serious unem-
ployment and depression that their
people followed any leader whom
they thought might haul them out
Of the m0rasS of despair.
"If love thy neighbor' is in
deed the key to peace. men and
women who seek to translate il
into practical action can find
what is generally conceded to be
the worlds best definition of love
i'm Corinthians -XIII The Bible.
In il St. Paul says in essence:
Love is patient and kind; love is
not jealous or bOaStful. 1t is not
arrogant or rude. Love does not
insist on its own way: il is not IT,
ritable or reSentful. 1t does not re-
ioice at, wrong, but rcjOiccs in the
right. Love bears all things. be-
lieves all things, hopes all things,
endures all things. Love never
ends.
His definition of love might be
summed up as tolerance, kind
ness and goodwill in other words,
charity toward ones fellow man.
And charity-according to the old
adage-begins at home.

dizati0n of organized labor by the
general taxpayer.
Since manufacturing corpora
tiOns pay only about half of all
corporate taxes. the MANS an
alysis continued. it may be esti-
mated that if Nathan's proposed
wage Increase were applied to all
corporations. corporate tax yields
would he reduced by at least
$4,000. 200, 900" 1t added:
Further Deficit
"Thc Federal Government is at
present desperately striving to
balance its budget. Either the
$4,000 600. 900 lost would result in
a further deficit of that amount
or it would have to be made up in
higher individual taxes.
Since taxable individual income
will total about $4,000 900 900, in
dividual income taxes would have
to be $40 per 800 Of income high
er than they otherwise would be.
This is an unpleasant outcome of
Mr. Nathan's program that he pre-
fers not to mention"
An effort to impose general wage
increases on all corporations

sharply. "You didn't have to

Far down the track there was
the sound of the train approach

sharply. "I'm not in love with

Why-why, is that why you are
running away? Gail, listen"
The train was in now, AND
had slid to a halt.
A porter swung down the
steps, caught up Calls bag

it on the train.
"Gail - wait a minute! You
can't 60 now. Why, you're all
wrong. Is this why you and
Greg quarreled - because you

furiously, even as the porter

a voice from down the length
of the train signaled "All abo-

"Goodby, Norah," said Gail
She wrenched her arm free of

climbed the steps to the train.
"Gail-wait a minute. Come
