Is big Business" To Blame?
1t is bad sign when a bust
ness executive says he does not
want his kids to work as hard
as he worked. 1t means. first.
that he must have worn himself
to a fragile to get where he is,
or he would not be so vehement
about it. Second, it undoubtedly
means that he is giving his
youngsters fat allowances. a
fancy education and each an
automobile. He feels better that
way: it salveS his conscience.
He can then say that he has
given his children everything. :"
But ask the children. They will
tell you that he has not given

He has. in fact, paid some
dolby else to do what he should
have done himself, with the low

Home, Business Both Important
First of all. you should never

business to damage the home

China has released no figures on the
grain production for the past two years
and, even if they did. it probably would
be highly questionable There is one in
dication which is fairly accurate. That
is, that Picking has tried to solve its
food problems by buying grain from
Canada, Australia, and other nations
The report stated that 1862 purchases.
limited by Peking's ability to pay, will
fall far below those of 1861.
If this report proves to be accurate,
China's food shortage, coupled with
Russia's poor crop, many lead to very
serious trouble for the Peking govern
ment. Two results are highly possible:
One, that the Chinese will try to focus
the peoples attention to outside trou-
bles and, second, that the people will
give the present government in Red
China trouble
Recent statements by Chang Kai-
shek, exiled president of the Chinese
Republic, are that the time is ripe for
invasion from Formosa and overthrow
of the Red regime. An invasion might be
predicated upon the pangs of hunger.
If so, revolution could be successful if
Chang established beachhead and
surplus American grain be used to sup
port military operations. The free
world would be taking the offensive in
such move, dangerous though it be.
