The best the original France did, according to the Latin textbooks, was to be di vided into three parts. If there was anything not wrong with the French army, it has not been revealed. The French were also cursed with a plethora of poli ticians and demagogues. They flourished no end, due to the attraction, the world over, strong lungs hold for weak minds.

Chronicle) "Housewives who would like to get some butter to put on bread must enjoy hearing about using It to make soap. They must appreciate an ex planation before a senate com mittee by an OPA represen tative who said this was butter that stuck to the machines In the manufacture of an army spread. It might be difficult to explain to a butterlcss moth er why this process should produce waste butter In quan tities worthwhile to a soap factory, or to two soap fac tories, as It appeared." The Nazi lenders, awaiting trial as war criminals by the Allies arc reported breaking down "physically and morally," althought all reports hint they have no morals to break down. A transient slicker, jailed at Ashland for defrauding "one armed bandits" by using both his arms, has been directed, alter paying a fine and costs, to shake the dust of Jackson county from his hoofs. e Local autolsts are reducing their recklessness. One stopped yesterday at the 6th St. crossing with not a train or a blonde In sight. One of the Older Girls reports, some of the cucumbers she plant ed have turned out to be gourds. The results are as "cool as a cu cucumbcr, but as "green as a gourd." Frau Hess, whose mate, Ru dolph, created a sensation in 1941 by departing Germany In a plane, and a few hours Inter was captured In Scotland, by a farmer armed with a pitchfork, has Joined Mrs. Mussolini of Italy, In giving Interviews. She " Is still an ardent Nazi. Her views indicate Rudolph, when he va moosed, was getting away from something besides one of the late Herr Himmler's efficient firing souads. for weakening in the faith. THE VERY IDEA' . Editor Suppose an idea had been struggling to take shape in your mind for quite some time suupose you lacked the ability to put such Idea into words, sup pose you saw no evidence of this Idea In the mind of any other person, cither through the print ed page or through personal con tact, how would you feel if, nil of a sudden, you saw this idea spring into life, lull grown. Wp mav he mistaken. that's always possible, but it does seem to this department that there is a more grateful and generous feeling toward the service men in tnis war inau any uma. .j. true, we should say, toward those who suffered most, -the maimed, the crippled and the near-kin of those who died. As we view it, tiere win oe nuuwig reason that can be done for these veterans and their families that the people-at least a vast majority of them -will not wish to do. So no doubt there win even ue a ojaiijaw. lie attitude toward the proposal of Senator Downey of California that all veterans of this war be given a trin abroad with the people footing the bill. , Lt we trust no large sum will be set aside for this Unlets the returning service men rV have enc mint, ered are striking exceptions to the rule the ONE thrng the veterans of Eruope and the Far East DON 1 want is more foreign travel. They have had enough to last and STAY there ! R.W.R.

Washington, Aug. 2 Some of my socialist readers Question ! my conclusion that free demo cratic capital ism adds a great volume of business to the national economy, per haps SO per cent, account ing f o r the much higher wage scale and better work ing conditions in this country over any other nation In the world, and my re sulting contention that socialism of the Russian, nazi or proposed British kind impedes this great volume of "created business'' and, therefore, must bring less production, less national income and static or negative economic results. They cannot have thought the matter out thorough ly. I can illustrate: Take a popular American soft drink. It is a simple example of a created business, where little or none would have existed un der socialism, and its history is multiplied by the thousands of other products which are in daily use in our vast markets, solely because appetites of consumers were stimulated by advertising and inventive business selling methods, prompted by individual desire for profit. No other, sys tem yet conceived by man fur nishes such economic stimulus in creating business. yHE story of how a small Georgia soft-drink man lit erally built his 5-cent product up into an international business involving hundreds of millions of dollars Is familiar. But I am not interested in the romantic side of it. The economic point which must be apparent to all Is that this business was wholly created, and furnishes employ ment and wages to a vast num ber of people, profit to them all along the line from maker to drugstore. Such businesses do not exist In Russia or Britain, or in fact in any other nation. If you think I have selected a rjarticularlv biased example for a partisan purpose, consider automobiles, our largest indus try. Today we look on the auto I as a necessity. It is not a neces sity In Russia, Britain or any other place. It has become a necessity to us only because business initiative built it Into a necessity. Good roads, compe tition between manufacturers Improved high-speed engines, brakes, tires at declining prices In mass production, and many other factors combined to bring the automobile up to its present economic oosition, all because of one factor and one only the chHnce for private profit. THE automobile Industry wnulrl not be furnishing Jobs, wages and profits it does today all along the economic line from iron miner to used car salesman except under the profit Incentive system. It is a created business, created solely by desire for profit. Eliminate this Incentive and fewer and fewer cars will be sold, roads would run down, car improve ments decline, prices would in crease a, mass production de clined, therefore, also wages, lobs and working conditions would coresnondingly deterior ate. The socialist who greedily wishes to capture the profits of this Industry for distribution to the worker must see, if he stops to think, that there must be miich less profits to distribute in socialism and the benefit to the wo.-ker is more than lost by the elimination of the factor of "created business."

AS advertising stops, as man agement passes into politi cal hands, as business is no longer created, production also declines, efficiency falls and. therefore, there must be less mntiov to be distributed among the workers but there will be more workers because the gov ernment promises to employ nvprvnnp. More workers then will get less of a share In less business that Is all socialism would mean. It Is purely a share-the-work arrangement sharing of less work. This unemployment angle was never an economic capitalistic gravitv commensurate with the mil it leal attention directed to it.
