A prom inent w rite r not long ago rem a rke d : " W e may con

In the beginn ing of o u r national h is to ry the w r ite r aays we
adopted the slogan that "h o n e s ty is the heat p o lic y ,’ hut that

fact that the slogan helped make o u r colossal business o rganiza

“ In g ra d u a lly losing its appeal, we have become a nation
o f sinartalees and we w in friends that we may take advantage
o f t them fin a n c ia lly and lo y a lty to a n y th in g o r anybody is
g ra d u a lly disappe aring.”
, In w a r tim e, d is lo y a lty is a m a jo r crim e and we m ay have
to jg e t hack to the firs t p rin cip le s o f the c o u n try to he saved.
A i d since we must be lo y a l in w a r tim e and since the a rm y
