 Next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. A. Nerland, who is president of the organization.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH
 PROFIT?

Some folks have the idea that profit is something business takes unfairly and harmfully out of buy ing and selling and manufactur- ing. This idea is that whatever a company earns, no matter if it is a fraction of a per cent of the total sales, this money is extracted un- derhandedly from the public. If you have ever felt that way, dare you to take a good, straight look at Americas economic picture

Europe Must Solve Europe's Problems

(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
 IN NPROMULGATING the so-caled Marshall plan for the economic rehabilitation of Europe the secretary of state divided his proposition into two parts ... FIRST-That the European nations themselves should determine their needs and the portion thereof which be provided by and among them selves; and
 SECOND-That the United States would underwrite and supply the deficiency for indetermnate period The obvious implications that the governments of Europe should establish kind of concord upon

Way 10 More Wages

The important thing is that good profits and good wages go along together. The success of an enter prise, as we'll as the well-being of everyone who gets income, de- bends upon profits. When corpo- rations have to accept losses, or even meager profits, wages for everybody go down and jobs be- come hard to find. It is not just chance that brings these two things, small profits and low wages, in the very same years. They belong together.
 All of us want profits. Why then, all the hullaballoo about wanting business enterprises to hand over any profit it makes to employees? To do this would be to cut our own throatS. What we really need is more folks with the idea of going into business, mak- ing money and employing people. The need is not more bankrupt corporations, but more profit, more wages, and better living for everybody.

IF POLAND HOPES that she will receive from Mos the benefits she turned down by rejection of the Marshall plan she is due for sad disappointment Aside from Communist government there is probably less true basis for friendship between the people of Poland and the Soviet Union than any other country the Soviet sphere of eastern Europe.
 Poland coldly and blackly betrayed by the Sov- tets in the signing of the SovieGerman pact of 1889 Few people in Poand however, know of this The secret agreement between Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov and German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop has never been revealed in Poland It out in the Nuremburg triels, but the Polish prosecution did not take it back for publication in their country Neither did they in clude the testimony of witnesses who accused the Sov tets of the of $500 members of the Polish army in the forest of Katyn, SmolenSk.
 The bare evidence of facts damns the SovieS for their actions in the year 1889 First Aug 24, they signed the secret agreement destroying Poland. On Sept j Hitler marched into Poland and Sept IT, the Sovets invaded from the east Then, Sept. 28, Ribbentrop flew to Moscow and signed pact procaimng the de- struction of Poland nation
 Until June, 1941, the SOVietS friends to the Poles They depored million persons-many to forced labor camps in Siberia Later, when the Sovies in turn betrayed by Hitler they attempted to bring the Poles back, but all of them have not returned
 In 1914 the people of Warsaw rebeed against the Germans They had expected Soviet aid But they made the mistake of prOclamng allegiance to the London government-in-exile and the Sovets allowed them to be cut to ribbons Later in 1914 Sovietsponsored gov ernment took control True it had other representatives but they have since played lesser roles.
 Few people believe that the elections of January, 1947, free The Communists control the most important posts in Poand and the Soviets control the Communists. Poland, which occupies the most uneasy geographical position in Europe has chance for self determinations it is too important to Russia for the Sov jet government to renquish it's power So long Russia maintains eastern European sphere, Poland will be the heart of it, and will have chance to partic ipate in any plan that mig ght loosen that control

the continent and that the people of Europe should get to work and by exchanging their surpluses effectively reduce the indigenous shortages of the various nations to food, in fuel in materials and in manufactured goods.
 The Marshall plan seems likely to fail for two reasons
 In the first place, Western Europe has pursued sui cidal course since the war.
 It's socalisc parties and regimes have been intent upon natonazing instead of reVitazing their agricu ture and industries
 It's labor elements have let themselves be controlled by Marxism instead of being actuated by patriotism
 The governments of France and Italy almost par ayzed by Communist dictatorship in the central labor organizations
 Great Britain dependent upon coal for it strade and susenance, has under it's labor government failed to produce enough coal to keep the people warm much less to operate the factories properly:
 At time of national emergency without precedent in it's history Great Britain works it's socazed coal mines on fiveday-aweek bass-and is talking about four day week
 Moreover the Ruhr District of Germany-to which half of Europe looks for coas under British manage ment and Great Britain has been trying sociaze the Ruhr instead of striving for full production.
 There is no indication here of resoute peoples willing to toll for their own salvation
 In the second place. it is evident that Western Europe does not regard the Marshall plan program of self help for Europe.
 Soviet Russia expressed one point of view by accus- ing the United States of seeking to rule in Europe through dollar diplomacy"
 Herbert Morrison lord president of the British coun- c expressed another when he told the House of Com- mons-since the Marshall plan was announced-that Europe must have peacetme version of American lend-lease.
 That the scale which Europe expects would prob ably cost America more than have.
 We have already made bankrupting Investments in globa charity without any great avail
 Since the war 59 foreign nations have received up- ward of 20 billion dollars in gifts from the American people through the American government
 Only nine countries in the whole world-Afghani- stan, Bulgaria, Ireland, Luxembourg, Romans Siam Sweden, Switzerland and the Union of South Africa have been omitted.
 Of course, with that precedent Europe expects the Marshall plan to be continuation of our vast donations.
 But this country does have the resources to SUD- port the Old World and experience should teach us that it is futile to make the attemp
 Furthermore, this country cannot itself rehabilitate Europe by merely giving production away--we can only impoverish and weaken ourselves.
 The Paris conference must present kind of con- sructive program within Europe-and not just draft upon the American people-f any kind of constructive aid is to be forthcoming from America O NC~.N l

1 all your eXpcnSeS, to put little into the bank or insurance. You may be interested :n investing part of your savings in stocks and bonds. If you are like most Amer jeans, you find that you can invest in some luxury goods. That is, you put some money into a car, an electric refrigerator, or perhaps good collection of fishing tackle. You can find that these and other things you can put your profit into will help you continue to live and to work.
 Naturally, you do not have to show profit at all. You could continue for a while to work for a loss. But I do not believe you'd like it-there would be no future in it. You want steady job and steady pay. Otherwise you be- come a public charge or have to live on your relatives. That way, you're a loss to your neighbors and friends-mere deadweight in an otherwise dynamic, producing economy.
 You And Business
 Business corporations are pretty much like this picture of yourself. Whether General Motors, the cor ner delicatessen, or yourself profit is what there is left over after all the bills are paid. Profit results from good management, thrift, imagination, and hard work. The big corporation turns some profits back into the company for new plants and new tools. The rest goes to the folks whose buildings, tools, machinery, and money the company has been using.
 This profit is usually none too much. Compensation of employees in l945, as estimated by the De- partment of Commerce, would have gone up only 7.9 per cent if the entire corporation income of the country had been turned into wages. Yet, if this were done, it would mean that millions of peo- pie, perhaps including yourself, would fail to receive dividends. Corporations would soon become bankrupt Jobs would become, scarce.
