May They Place The Country First? Coming to life after being smothered during all those depression years by the stench of "big" business' doings, a conservative dares poke his head out at this late date to declare that business m?n, "big" business men, must be look ed to to win the war. We have no objection to the "big" business man taking the high places and directing the war effort or any other effort that will bring peace and restore order to the world. But we do bitterly object to the "yellow" tactics em ployed by some business men high in the af fairs relating to the war effort. It would seem that some of the "big" business men, more or less, directly connected with the war effort have thought more about the businesses they left back home than they did about winning the war and saving human life. It is a bitter charge all right, but it is apparent that some of those in charge had only one eye on the war effort while they watched out for their inter ests back home with the other eye. Briefly stat ed, the government paid some of those men $1 a year while the companies continued their big salaries, and if the reports are true the coun try did not even get its dollar's worth while the represented company reaped a big dividend. There's the auto manufacturer who did a good job back yonder, or who did the best he could. But while he was calling for all-out pro duction, the auto industry was piddling around with a conversion program, and even after Pearl Harbor it was charged that his company back home was using vital and scarce mater ials for the manufacture of automobile gadgets. If we remember correctly, it was the big utility folks who told us the supply of electricity was ample to meet every need and any emer gency. It was later admitted there was a short age of power, but the life-saving part played by the TVA was never paraded before the pub lic. The aluminum trust guaranteed the nation it could meet the demand for the precious ma terial. While the shortage has not been stress ed here of late, we do remember how patriotic housewives removed usable utensils from their cook stoves to help pay for the glaring and ap parently selfish mistakes, intentional or oth erwise, made by "big" business men. Then there is the rubber situation, the smell of which still stinks to high heaven. Back yonder when Russia was recognized as our ally, "big" business preferred to sell vital materials to the yellow Japs and deny merited aid to the Russians. Then there are many other things that did not seem just right, but a patriotic common peo ple back home continued to send their sons to war, buy bonds and support the war program in general. All these things were maneuvered or other wise handled by "big" business men. If any set of men can work so well and accomplish so much for selfish or other reasons," then surely they are able to help win the war. But let us pray that they put the country first and recog nize the value of human lives ahead of proper ty and not maneuver for advantageous posi tions for their business interests in a post-war world. It has been said by a conservative spokesman that "if we are going ahead at Washington it is to the extent that we have put things into the hands of the doers and taken them out of the hands of the blue-print poets and the New Deal Socialistic pot-stirrers." Then the conser vative one adds, "What sent France to the dust was the fact that her pre-war affairs were in the hands of politicians, astrologers and theor ists with the great industrialists reduced to the position of stooges for the Blums and the Dala diers." As for the New Deal Socialistic pot-stirrers, this country would have been a second France today, bowing meekly to Vlitler's bidding had it-not been for them. As for the Blums and Dal adiers, the facts show that more weapons were produced under Blum than under all the great industrialists. It is true that more money was taken from the common people in taxes under other leaders, but lo and behold, the records tell that it was misappropriated and never was converted into weapons for the protection of France and her people. And strange as it may seem, the Fighting French today are the same fellows who supported the Blums back yonder. The "Big" business men of France were suck ed in by Hitler, and they swallowed hook, line and sinker, just as some of our business men were sucked in by little peace-loving Japan. lime tor WorK And IMo flay You've heard the old saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." In the face of the cruel facts facing this nation directly in the face, the old saying has an empty mean ing. If we go stale doing one task, there are others to be done and the change from one to the other may furnish needed recreation and it'll certainly have its weight in winning the war. Instead of running after the sports and seeking amusement in our every spare moment, we'll do well to start chasjjng that stray pound of scrap iron. If we work hard enough during the week, we'll rest and pause for an hour or two or worship on Sunday, and march forward rested and spiritually prepared to handle the tasks and withstand the pressure that a new day will certainly bring. If ever there was a time for more work and little or no play, that time is now. Bonds will buy for the U. S. Coast Guard: Six dollars and thirty-one cents will buy one projectile.
