The public may not see "The

Normandy invasion, because the
movie czar objects to a few

the public to say, what the films
record the embattled GIs said.

the Latin textbooks, was to be di

was anything not wrong with
the French army, it has not been
revealed. The French were also
cursed with a plethora of poli

EXPLANATION, PLEASEI
(S. F. 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.

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

-the maimed, the crippled and the near-kin of those
who died. As we view it, tiere win oe nuuwig

families that the people-at least a vast majority of
them -will not wish to do.

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

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

will get less of a share In less
