Possi - hiv-ii is tmieiy* "lUBfutiention and cmstdera tion be given plans for the postwar period, and there is no objection in this quarter as long as the problem is attacked after a democratic fash ion. We are unalterably opposed for a certain group or certain groups to take charge, ignore tne millions and set out on the basis of a drip or crumb economy; that is, where the few wallow in luxury and the many exist off the crumbs falling from the heavily laden tables. The rejection of Woodrow Wilson’s peace plan no doubt prepared the blood bath through which millions of men are now passing, but short sighted handling of economic problems on both a domestic and international scale helped fo ment the present trouble. The plans oi the few months old Committee for Economic Develop ment are not known, but it is sincerely hoped that no one class or even a limited number of classes will steal the march, but that all classes, rich and poor, regardless of color or creed will be remembered, that the memory of those who have bled and died and those who are yet to bleed and die will not bo pushed into the back ground. When the Committee for Economic Develop ment was aborning back in the early part of last January, no objection was raised when Paul G. Hoffman, president of the Studebaker Corporation, announced its top personnel. We have no objection to the big business man en tering the picture with postwar plans, but we do object and strenuously to a policy that packs the committee with big corporation heads who represent directly or indirectly a tight coalition of the National Association of Manufacturers, the United States Chamber of Commerce and independent big business men. They have a place on the committee and they are entitled to that place on. the iSHTVjy'tse, but we would re mind Mr. Hoffman that there are farmers, fac tory workers, clerks and the millions of other i smaller groups who are entitled to a place on the committee ana who have a right to be heard before any plan is clamped around their necks. It is a bit strange that within two weeks af ter Hoffman announced the birth of the Com mittee for Economic Development that the House of Representatives announced the death sentence for the National Resources Planning Board, a democratic agency that was represent ing the interest of all groups, big and little, rich and poor Apparently that v/as the first step to turn postwar planning for the well-being ana security of America, as a whole, to the Nation- j al Association of Manufacturers and the Unit ed States Chamber of Commerce and Big Busi ness. And now the committee comes along with an expanding membership including such men as Wallace T Holliday of Standard Oil, W. W Hollowav of the Wheeling Steel Company, B. K. Brodie of a big soap company, Tom John son of the Commonwealth and Southern Ala bama Power Company, and so on and on, the list including economic royalists, labor-baiters and enemies of the New Deal, for the most part. We would not condemn these men for some thing they have not done, but we would call their ■ Vmtjor? t>> the failure of the old National Industrial Cm tie reiic< Board, a product of thc_ last war peiiod. It will bo recalled that the NAM along with eighteen trade associations took the leao in organizing the NICE, ’n 1920, L W. O' Leary of the National Metal .* rades Association said, “The N1CB is of great value in that it is bringing uniformity of thought and action among employers, woefully lacking in the past. We are thinking together.” And what came out of their thinking? Their planning, coupled with some other factors, to be sure, brought 1929. The policies were unchanged in the early thir ties. and the history of that period is still fresh in the memory of the millions. And yet the Committee for Economic Development refer to the work of the old National Industrial Con ference Board. While the committee members may recog nize problems as they relate to millions outside their own little band, and may steer clear of iso lationist theories, the foundation is not very in viting at this time for a sold structure pointing toward economic stabilization and lasting peace. The committee members will do well to remem ber that millions of young men participated in World War I and left peace and economic plan ning to the few, that millions of young men more recently have bowed to the call of war but that they will not bow down upon their return and see a lop-sided economy established and the way paved to another war by any one group or chain of groups. Let the committee weigh the cost of war against the cost of liberal policies and act ac cordingly. Let the committee recognize all groups after giving due consideration unto it self, but let it refrain from stealing the march on others outside their realm. Fighting Dollars Christian Science Monitor. Jt may be true, as someone has said that “Sel dom comes a loan laughing home,” but never did individuals have greater reasons for sending a loan smiling on its way than underlie the op portunity to “Back the Attack with War Bonds." I Victories in Noith Africa, Sicily, Russia, and | the Pacific, developments in Italy, effective i bombings in Germany, Rumania, and elsewhere on the Continent, have eased the burden in many a heart and brought that much closer the time when America’s fighting lads will be set ting glad faces toward home shores. This increase in the Allied offensive tempo calls for a corresponding acceleration of every kind of home-front effort, not the least of which is the purchase of war bonds. Thus the Third War Loan campaign which is to open on Sep tember 9th aims at a national minimum goal of ^fvooaonnnoo- *he greatest financial task ev er undertaken by any nation Since commer cial banks are to be excluded from purchasing the .securities, the success of the drive will de pend on the readiness of each individual to make every available dollar a fighting dollar. The American public already has placed many billions in war bonds, and loyally surpassed original goals in the two previous bond cam paigns. But the men in the service have not | stopped with one victory, or two, or three; they ! continue to put forth everything they have intc the onward push for total victory.

SAN MARTIN February 25, 17778 August 9, 1850 Not only as a hero but also as a great and unselfish character should the memory of Jose de San Martin be cherished throughout the Amer icas. He lives in history both as a j military genius and as a good and j unhupp-y •tirf--::. j Born in Argentina, of Spanish par ents, he spent the first three years o? j his life in an Indian villag. on the j | Uruguay river, of which his father was governor. Later the family mov ed to Buenos Aires and from there to Madrid where the youth was edu cated and where, at the age of elev en, he joined the Spanish army as a Cadet. During the next twenty years he fought with the Spaniards on many fronts, but his heart was always in his native Argentina. When, through the young Creoles (Spaniards of American birth) who went to Eu rope, he heard of its discontent and of its purpose of gaining indepen dence from the Metropolitan govern meiitla^Jjdtthe Spanish army in whi^n^wasmiow a Lieutenant Col onel and sailed for the land of his birth. When he arrived there, many thought he might bp a spy. The case of a young Spanish officer who had not been in Argentina for twenty odd years and who came back only for the purpose of liberating it, was indeed an unusual one. But they soon changed their mind about him when they saw how bravely he led the rebel charges against the enemy. San Martin's plan for the libera tion of his country was a bold one; at the point where tlhe Sphniar were the strongest. With this scheme in mind, he asked to be made Gov ernor of Cuyo, close to the Chilean border. There, at Mendoza, the capi tal of the province, in penury and destitution and in the greatest se crecy he organized and trained an army. In January 1817, with baggage, guns and horses he led his forces across the high passes of the Andes range, a feat never accomplished be NEURAJ-GJA To quickly allay neuralgia or liuga headache, Capudine.

The Army of the Andes composed of Ar gentine soldiers and of Chilean pa triots led by Bernardo O’Higgins, overcame the King’s forces and won the independence of Chile. San Mar tin next undertook the liberation of Peru. The Argentine and Chilean Army moved on by sea and, after several months, occupied Lima, the royalist stronghold, while the inde pendence of Peru was proclaimed. As there was no one to head the new na tion San Martin proclaimed himself Protector of Peru. But the hour of disillusion had come. Certain elements in Peru ac cused him of being selfish and am bitious because he had made him self protector of their country. The Spanish army threatened from the mountains. The sailors demanded their pay. The Army of the Andes itself turned against him. San Mar tin decided to go to Ecuador to meet Bolivar, for only he could help him.

The fact is that San Martin withdrew from the struggle in order to give Bolivar a free hand, unembarrassed by any f interference. This was perhaps the j finest act in his glorious career. ; Turning to Argentina he found that. there too, people had turned against him believing that he should not have left them to fight with others. Discouraged and ill, he sailed for Europe where, in August 1850 he died poor and forgotten by all, nev er guessing that very soon he would step into the glory of history. -4 C. B.
