Immortality, ex empt from age or decay, has a glory of its own, the radiance o f Soul. — Mary Baker Eddy RECONVERSION PRO G RAM AD VAN C E D Agreement of the United Mine Workers and coal mine operators on a year’s contract gives the United States labor peace in the major in dustries for the first time in many months. Now, reconversion, which has been terribly slow and exasperating, should be speeded up even though prices may be slightly higher. Coal prices will be increased and they will be re flected in the price o f steel, which is used in the manufacture of so many articles that we use daily. However, complete reconversion with high prices is better than no reconversion at all. EUROPEAN A C TIO N ENCO URAG ING The decision of at least 17 nations to parti cipate in the Marshall European recovery plan is encouraging to the western allies. A few Russian satellites have or will refuse to participate because they probably feel that their bread is buttered on the Russian side. In the last two conflicts the United States has been fighting and then feeding its enemies. It is apparently more economical to feed them first, because if we convince them of our sin cerity we may not have to fight them. Certainly our best way to fight the spread of communism is by helping to keep the world prosperous, because communism spreads fastest where there is hunger and chaos and dissatis faction with the governmental and economic conditions. ♦ From Boise Payette... « Certified Red Cedar Shingles Prende at—Ma r i i a g College Seite g. A t t u t a Business Tells a Story Tim e was when it was fashionable for everyone to talk about big busi ness and count over the gross and net sins of corporations. Of course, there were mighty good stories even then about our steadily rising stand ards of living. But the busybodies didn't bother with those success stories, big or little. I have said that America is now beginning to assume her task in pub lic relations, that of selling her ways and her freedoms and her institu tions to people everywhere. I should like to say that some of our groups and institutions have special respon sibilities in this job. I think that labor does, as well as business. The task is important to agriculture, to tradesmen, to education, to the professions, and to civic minded folks in every walk. Certainly, la bor and industry are each so im portant in our economic system, that they must be interested in re awakening the people to an appre ciation of America. A Report to Workera I should like to tell you about a company that is doing its part, there by shouldering its responsibility for this kind of public re-education. Somebody sent me a copy of a re port this company makes to its employees. The report answers questions employees want to know. The answers are frank, fair, and simply stated. There is no doubt the report has made its readers bet ter informed Americans. It did so to me. It takes $7,507 worth of capital to give a person a job in this company. Naturally, there would be no Jobs for their 3,951 people if it were not for this $29.660,626. Shareholders who put up this money out of what they earn and save, hope to get "a fair rental” for their money. These folks, the report tells us, are capi talists— "and so are you!” Because we own our possessions, we are "capitalists” and this is a "capital ist” country. Why Make a Profit? "W e have a 'capitalist' industry In the United States because millions . . . use part of their 'capital' to own and operate the most produc tive farms, stores, mines, and fac tories on this earth. And that is the reason why we, as a people, have the highest standard of living of any nation in the world. No other sys tem in any country, at any time, by any other means has ever pro duced so much for so many at such little cost as our 'capitalist' busi ness does in America.” The company says frankly that it made money in 1946—about seven and one-half cents on every dol lar's worth of products sold. While this record is termed a narrow mar gin that calls for economy all alortg the line, the report makes it plain that the company expects to keep on making money. All this, midst healthy competitors that cause them to keep putting out better products for less money. Tribute is paid to the keen competition they meet as an effective price regulator. “ A company that can’t make money is like a ship that can't float. Neither is safe for you and your family. A company may lose money for a short time, just as a ship may spring a leak and take in water for a short time, but if the losses and the leak can't be stopped soon, the ship sinks and the company goes out of business. Passengers on the ship that sinks and employees of the com pany that fails are victims of disas ter.” up in some fields.
