"The glory of a workman, still more of a master workman. that he does his work well, ought to be his most precious posession; like the 'honor of a soldier,' dearer to him than life."

* * Itnomas Carlisle

What a glorious job of poetic prose writing was done when Marco Morrow wrote: "It is a glorious privilege to live, to know, to act, to listen, to behold, to love. To look up at the blue summer sky; to see the sun sink slowly beyond the line of the horizon; to watch the worlds come twinkling into view, first one by one, and then the myriads that no man can count, and lo ! the universe is white with them; and you and f are here."

General Frank J. HowleS director of the office of military government for the American sector of Berlin, recently said: "Russians are liars and swindlers. There is no truth in them, and the sooner we realize that fact and accept it, the better off we will be. They believe that truth changes from day to day. For them there is no such thing as an eternaltruth."

A distinguished Southern lawyer and businessman, Rex G. Baker, in a formal address made the following remarks: "Let us not be deluded into believing that we can start down the pathway of socialism without ending up in the diabolical hell of Communism. The Communist must deny the existence of God and must worship at the shrine of Lenin, Stalin, and the politburo. No one at all conversant with the facts believes for one moment that Communism is not at direct enmity with God. To the Communist there can be but one loyalty, loyalty to the Kremlin. There can be but one voice-the voice of Moscow. There can be but one will-that of Stalin."

President Harry gave us a lot of that old-fashioned hell not long ago when he described as "selfish interests" all those who disagree with his program. So far as I can discover, that puts all the employers and all the investors and all the businessmen in the country in the "selfish interests" basket. There are probably just enough exceptions to prove the rule. Because if there are any of those who are NOT opposed to the downward highway along rvhich he demands that we travel, I have so far failed to meet or hear from them'

Politicat writers tell us that administration contact men are still going about the country trying to find out what business thinks about the present situation, and at the same time trying to sow some thoughts into business ears favorable to the administration. Certainly no canvass is necessary to find out what business thinks, for business is frank and outspoken in its opinions. Business thinks that our present governmental course is all wrong, and that only by heading off the Truman program of spending and wasting can we be saved from disaster.

Anybody who doubts ,r* an* is what business thinks, is just kidding himself-or others. Business has been picking up some lately for the simple reason that Congress has thus far refused to pass the bulk of the socialistic legislation that has been thrust upon it. That's why business is better than it was three months back. If Congress would go home without passing any of the proposed laws that frighten the wits out of employers and investors, business of all kinds would pick up in a hurry. I don't see how any unbiased and open-minded observer can think otherwise. The situation is plain, and even he who runs may read it.

That old revival chorus, written at the turn of the present century by F. L. Stanton, used to be one of the most popular revival hymns during the first generation of this century. Those words run through my head very often when I consider the goings-on in the free city of Washington, D.C. My sort of folks, and YOUR sort of folks, Junior, certainly catch old-fashioned hell every time the

A Washington writer ""r" an"a when an administration man calls on a businessman, the average one interviewed replies like this: "You assure us that Truman is no radical and that he wants to help us. But labor leaders tell unions they should have higher wages. Brannan comes out with a farm plan that will raise wages and costs,. and Truman backs it. Acheson demands more billions for foreign aid. Truman keeps us and our employees on the mourner's bench by naming fact-finding committees, demanding repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. All of which means higher taxes, higher wages, higher production costs, higher prices. It just doesn't make sense." You can hear those senti-
