The world was never so ready and able to pay well for what it wants. For superior service to so­ ciety under competitive conditions, whether through Invention or produc­ tion or organization or distribution of useful articles, no reward is begrudged, particularly here In America. “Adding to human comfort and hu­ man needs, these things raake life finer and better. The world has & shared, but It U In America hat they have reached their hieo :t develop­ I ment and utilization, ’t h American spirit of useful enterprise, however, does not coniine itself v/ithln our own borders. It permeates the entire world and renders great service to peoples other than our own. “Let us pass over America’s service to humanity In the war and consider what is being done now.
