"Seest .thou a man diligent in his business; he shall stand before kings." (Proverbs) "But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work" 5-12) *(John

Work'is the answer to most serious human problems. It certainly is the answer, the only answer, to the solving of our postwar problem of safe translation from war to peace times. All the artificial restrictions and phoney efforts on earth are not going to take us through that stormy sea.

Work is the answer. Maximum production rather than restriction. A generous production of all the good things of life that may be had in exchange for honest work. The more work, the more production. The more production, the mqre the worker sets for his

X*1. .

Schernes for drygging the Golden Age in by the horns has wonderful appeal to the gullible and the lazy. But prog-

perity cannot be dragged*tr.*ta}"r to be wqrked in.

We may hear some more about the "silly old dollar." ,But it will never be from men who have to work, sweat,

and worry to get enough of them to take care of their fam-

ilies. The most beautiful work of art on the face of this ' earth is a good old American dollar, honestly earned, and exchangeable for a just amount of this. world's goods. **,t

If this entire nation could follow in the footsteps and

profit by the examples of two great Americans-Franklin and Edison-we would have no trouble after the war in putting this nation back on a sound basis. It was said of Franklin that everything he did was done better than it had ever been done before. Like the Carpenter of Galilee, Franklin believed in the blessedness oI work. "Ever5rthing is play to Franklin," said the f4mous Fxlmund Burke. ,t** The doctor told Thomas Edison once that he must take a vacation. His wife joined the doqtor. She said to him: "Tonight I want you to make up your mind where you would rather be than an5rwhere else on earth; and tomorrow f want you to go there for your vacation." He promised ' he would. And in lreeping with that promise he was working in his accustomed laboratory long before daylight the

nextmorning.

One of the innumerable fundamental objections to cradleto-grave security theories is that they would encourage idleness; idleness of body and mind. "Idleness," said Ben Franklin, "is the Dead Sea that swallows up all human virtues." A few decades of Government:supported idleness

'and aristocracy of industry and of intellect-the only two

ul..'-,'r

safe and sorind aristocracies o,n earth-would have disap:1

peared.

It was John Milton who wrote: "He who freely magnifierlri what has been done noblg and fears not to declare as freely-# what might be done better, gives ye the best covenant of.;; .-! his fidelity." ,_

Lee Wiggins, of South Carolina, Presideni of the Ameii-,j can Bankers Association.although a small t6wn banker, ig;,i the author of some philosophies that old Solomon would,:ti envy. He was at his best when he remarked that "theri,! is only one crop that poor land will groul- successfully, and,",l that is poor people."

Which reminds me of tire most thought-provoHng piecqi of philoSophy I have seen iq d commercial advertisement iu a long time. The Anderson F'rame people, in ads showing-i wonderful big home windows, say: "ONLY THE RICH'I,,:' CAN AFFORD POOR WINDOWS." I like that thought,,-., As a matter of fact, f am convinced that glass wilt playMUST play-a more important pqrt in the home building' .i of the postwar era than it has ever done before. I believe j, that the modest, livable, lovable HOMts of the postwar era ':; that will ccime within the financial reach of a worker of l:, modedt means, will be made that qray to a large extent by .i: the highly intelligent use of glass. When glass,- properly, and intelligently used, replaces dull, blank walls, a house often becomes a HOME *** ..-: ' as I applaud report the that Henry Ford going is Just ,:1 back after the war to making unheard-of numbers of ,;t modest-priced motor cars within the financial reach of the .: average man, f applaud the idea that we are going to fuxys 1:q) to build good homes and put them within the reach of a ,i class of people that never were abfe to buy or pay for decent ',J hornes in prewar days. It's got to come. The genius of i the building industry is going to have to appty itself to the ; dgvelopment of such homes at such prices. When we do that we build a double bridge across that fearful gap between war and postwar conditions. To say that it can't be done is to scoff at our hopes of salvatio'n. It can be done; and I am certhin that it will be dbne. Put good men of ' modest means into nice honies of their own, and. you build ,. a foundation under'.this nation that all hell cannot shake ' or crack. And the production and construction of such..ri.: homes will ftrrnish employment to more millions of men' ;; than this industry ever dreamed,of erpployirig, in any day's.",i gone by. The details will come later. But they will come. It jri is every wise lumberman's duty to help figure it out.

No one in history was ever so blessed with the gift of words thht he could properly and thoroughly appraise the American Red Cross.' The most unique, the most blessed organization for good in all human history, its worth surpasses any possible human estimate because it reaches into the higher fields of the blessed. Any list of the world's great that does not include the name of Clara Barton would be too stupid to consider. Another drive for Red Cross funds is on. A generous and appreciative world will fill its coffers to overfowing. Blessed are they who help the Red Cross, for in so doing they help all that is good on this earth.

++:f Take great thinkers who were,small. Immanuef credited with front,rdnk among the thint grs of all timei was just 5 feet tall. Spinoza, whom many authorities corF j sider the greatest brain in all history, was a little man. Soji was the great Fifteenth Century thinker and writer, Eraeli mus.' So wad the immortal Plato, of Greece. So was his even:, greater pupil, Aristotle, the father of all human thinkers. St. Paql, greatest salesman in historjr, was a littlenl man. St. Francis Xavier, was just 4 feet six inches tall;, Savonarola w:rs a short man. So was John Calvin.

*** I'm going to devote a little time now to talking about the short great men of history. I've always wondered why small men are so very cocky as a rule. And the other day I found out. It's because men of less-than-average height have played so glorious a part in this world's history. Knowing that, makes small men strut. And I didn't know much about that record until I read a little new book that I paid two bucks for, and got my money's worth. The book is, "Why Be Short," published by The Little Manual Pdblishing Company, and written by one Paul O'Neil. All I know about Mr. O'Neil is that he wrote this book, evidently based on a lot of particular research in a particular direction.

I recommend the book'to all short men who want their morale lifted. .{<*rf

Take military men, for a starter. Napoleon was exactly 5 feet, ls/a inches tall. Yet he almost conquered the world, and revolutionized warfare. Another very small man DID conquer the world. He was Alexander the Great, who was about the size of Napoleon. While yet a kid in years; Alexander conquered the entire known world, and then sat down by the ever moaning sea and wept his red bandana full of brine because he knew of no more peoples to grind beneath his iron heel. Then there was England's great naval hero, Lord Nelson. He was a small guy. You'll be surprised to know that Julius Caesar, great warrior and conqueror of Cleopatra, also, was a short man. He divorced his wife because she too ardently admired a taller Roman soldier. Ulysses S. Grant was a short man. So was Admiral Farragut, the man who damned the torpedoes. General

the mighty Mozart. And also Mendelssohn. And Richar6 Wagner. And James Whisder, whose mother picture been well spoken of. And the almost legendary artist Mich+ elangelo was a shorty. Writers?' Well, the'inspired poet Milton was a very small man, whose mentality timitless oceans of thought. Balzac was small. So Oliver Goldsmith, and Descartes, and,John Dryden, an$1i Epictetus, and Heine, and Horace, and Henrik Ibsen, arri Keats, and Charles Lamb, and the great Macaulay, end'i Thomas Moore, and Alexander, Pope, and Renan, and: , Thoreau. and Swinburne. ,!{

'+ * * Take scientists. Archimedes was srriall. So was tlro great Kepler. And Herbert Spencer" And Charles Steinmetz. Oliver Wendell Holmes was a famous short Ameri- ;i can, being only 5 feet 5 inches tall. The greatest series of public debates in American history was between'Abraham ,-l Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, Lincoln being 6 feet 4 i inches in his stockings, and Douglas an even 5 feet. Ja:nes : Madison was the shortest American President. Martin Van Buren and John Quittcy Adaml were both little men. An-l^, drew Carnegie was a very short man. So was Alexander l Hamilton. The list goes on and on,'but this is enough for.; this time, and should demonstrate to you as this book did to me that there's nothing short about short men when'it comes to doing things. l 1.

'New \fPB Order Affecting Sale and Use 'i', of All Species of Lumber Expected There is strong indication pointing to an early change in WPB orders afiecting the sale and use of lumber.

It is reported that the new order will cut right through L-2L8, L-zm, L-41, M-208 and other WPB orders affecting the distribution and use of lumber and place all species of 'lumber under a new CMP order.

: Organizing Home Planning Institutes R. T. Titus, director of trade extension, West Coast ' Lumbermen's Association, Seattle, 'Wash., has been spending the past few weeks in Southern California and Arizona

' assisting'the retail lumber dealers in the organization of Home Planning Institutes.

He met with the San Diego dealers and it was decided to start an Institute under the sponsorsl,ip of the Chamber of Commerce.

He made a good story of it. He told with all rnanner of detail how they bring the condemned man into the deatli chamber, how his legs and arms are strapped tightly to the terrible chair, a charged cap put over his shaved head, how

the electrodes are placed on the body of the unfortunate, and finally how the sheriff steps over to the wall, jerks on a switch set in the wall, and turns the power through the pris-

oner's body. It was all very realistic. One sf his listen-

ers said:

A tree's strength is limited by its grain and rate of growth and porous structure . . . yet hardboards many times stronger, and easily workable, are made from its basic materials alone! The extraordinary Masoiite* hardboards process "remakes" wood by first reducing it to its ceIlu/ose fibet ard cement-like lignin.

LUMBER MOYES TO

GTOBAL FRONTS

The ingenious Masonite "gun" produces these basic materials by literally exploding wood..

Then, under different heats and pressures, fibers of varying degrees of plasticity are recombined and bonded with the lignin to form Masonite Presdwoods.* Grainless and smooth-surfaced,

Presdwoods will not split, chip, crack or warp

when properly used.

Every fcrcility must give lull performcnce to keep lumber moving. Tecmwork oI men, mcncgement and machinery is overcominq many wcrr-imposed dilliculties and the show goes on.

The Price oI Fcune "Fame sometimes deceives a man into believing he is better than he really is," once observed the celebrated tenor, Enrico Caruso. And then he related the following story to illustrate his statement.

The noted singer was motoring through the Northern section of New York State when his car broke down. He spught relief at a nearby farmhouse until he could get a mechanic to repair his car. Presently the farmer asked the visitor's name, and Caruso introduced himself. "I am Carusor" he said simply.

"Caruso !" exclaimed the farmer, leaping to his feet and warmly grasping the singer's hand. "To think that such a

great man should visit my humble home. Caruso ! The great explorer, Robinson Caruso !"

Hct Rcising A certain low-brow wrote the editor of the local paper and asked for information; he wanted to hrow when and where it is polite for a gentleman to raise his hat. The editor replied: "Without consulting etiguette authorities, I will give you a horseback opinion on the subject, and suggest that the hat should be removed on the following occasions: When mopping the brow when taking a bath, when eating, when going to bed, whefn taking up a collection, when having the hair trimmed, when bein shampooed, when standing on head."

Points She: "You have your good points, five of them; you're tall, dark, handsome, brave, and kind. I'm yours."

IIe: "Don't be silly. For five points f can get a can of sauerkraut."

V. C. Kitchen Said:

In the business of life, man is the only product. And there is only one direction in which man can possibly develop if he is to make a better living or yield a bigger dividend to himself, to his race, to nature, or to God. He must. grow in knowledge, wisdom, kindness, and understanding.

Rcmscry McDoncld Said: The educated man is a man with certain subtle spiritual qualities which make him calm in adversity, happy when alone, just in his dealings, rational and sane in the fullest meaning of that word in all the affairs of life.

A gentle sow who took recourse To legal qraft and lore, Declared-"f want a quick divorceMy mate's an awful boar.'i A tady sheep who sought the halls, Of justice, went "boo-hoo, My cruel husband never calls Me anything but "ewe !" '!We'll have to part," the gander sighed, "It's not the';lightest use, To try and live with any bride, That's such an awful goose."

The stag, however, dropped a tear, And murmured soft and low, "My charming wife's a little deerSo I will keep my doe."

Well Spending To understand the world is better than to condemn it; to'study the world is better than to abuse it; to make the world better, lovelier, and happier is the noblest work of any-man.or woman. The measure of a man's life is the well-spending of it, and not the length.-Plutarch.

"No," replied the husband during the quarrel. "No, you didn't run after me. But listen, Babe ! A trap doesn't run after a mouse, either. But it gets it just the same. See?"

Fine brdeed This recruit was a miserable shot with a rifle, and the Sergeant in charge of rife practice had been unmerciful in his criticisms, until the rookies's nerves were on edge. "f'[ bet you don't even know what a'fine sight' is," said the sergeant, caustically. "Now, tell me, what is a 'fine sight'?"

"I know that one," said the hopelesq rifeman. "A fine sight.is an enorrnous ship, crammed full of sergeants, on fire from end to end, eleven hundred miles from land, with a hurricane blowing."

Your Future ls In Your O*n Hands

By Kenneth Smith (This digest of a recent talk.to a retail lumber war in. dustry conference by the President of the California Redwood Associatibn of San Francisco, deserves close reading.

Like every other thinking man I have met in many months, Mr. Smith, a sound, practical, and courageous thinker, is 'busidisturbed by the spectre oi continued regimentation of ness after the war, with the possible destruction of the private enterprise system. Mr. Smith presents his case very well, indeed. Ponder deeply his remarks, and how they apply to each of US.-The Editor.)

enterprise system the most importan't question of your'' career. As Dr. Watts made so very clear here this morn-. ing, you are going to have to take sides on this question.

You cannot dodge it by doing nothing. DOING NOTH-.

ING AUTOIvIATICALLY PUTS YOU ON THE SIDE OF RESTRICTION. Second, they point the way ;in which, as retail lumber merchants, you can make your greatest contribution to keeping America a tand of Opportunity.

The A-B-C of the American Way of Life is the right of every ambitious boy and girl to be and tb have, according to his ability, his willingness to work, his willingness .to live on less than he earns, and to then, if he so aspires, to risk his savings in enterprise-thereby providing work for others in his own striving for gain.

That economic, climate-that philosophy of life-is what ' afforded you the opportunity to exhibit the confidence and initiative that made yqu owners and managers and put you , in position to provide opportunity for other men.

REGULATIONS LIKELY TO CONTINUE Dr. Watts asked us here this morning': .'Do we want free enterprise ?" I, personally, am very much afraid that the answer which will be developed after this war oqt of this interplay of pressure politics, to which we have become. addicted, will be-"NO." This transition period is going to be the most critical of our lives. Unwinding the war economy is going to hit us a lot harder than the winding-up has or will.

TOTALITARIAN CONTROLS ALREADY ESTAB-

f,enneth Smith

We all are going to need all the ideas-all the sound coun-

sel-all the stimulation to our thinking that we can possibly get if we are to master the problems that will be the aftermath of this cataclysmic war.

What I wish to do is talk about the relations of the two ideas which were advanced here this morning by Dr. Watts and Col. Greeley. These two ideas, taken together, present first to Jrou as business men, WHO have had so much from and OWE SO MUCH TO the free INDIVIDUAL'

LISHED HAVE VERY FFW TERMINAL FACILITIES. Even if there were a complete political reversal, the temptation to use many of them would be practically irresistible.

A $300 billion debt-of which approximately $200 bil-

lion is the equivalent of p/inting-press' money, since not much more than $100 billion will have been borrowed from those who had previously earned and saved it-$'ill have

so weakened the fabric of our capitallstic structure that both government and leaders are going to be afraid of in('Continued on Page 22)

flation and the carrying charges that they will continue regulation.

It will be sold to us as a "modified private enterprise system." There will be too few willing to turn from the well-paved road of regulation to that uphill and rocky road THAT DEMANDS SELF-RELIANCE-THAT DEMANDS THRIFT AND THE PAYING OF DEBTS. I believe that we will have taken such a heavy dose of the anaesthetic of regulation that we will be too weak and too addicted to this habit-forming drug to follow leaders with minds and hearts of the valiant, who would take us in the opposite direction.

FIGHT OR ENDURE "POLITICS IN BUSINESS'' I hope fervently that I am wrong. What I have just sard is what I am convinced is going to happen UNLESS we somehow achieve the miracle orf re-educating the rank-andfile of our citizens:and I include in that the rank-and-file of our business men-to an understanding of the fact that individual freedom and the free individual enterprise system are so one and the same, that one cannot fall without the other also falling.

You have undoubtedly observed the increasing number of campaigns by organizations and advertisers devoted to re-selling the private enterprise system-the Fifth Freedom. These are going to make a tremendous difference in the general understahding of the public in a relatively short space of time of the fundarnentals of the risks-taking system, which has built America and which is its only hope of reasonably full employment AT USEFUL WORK after the war.

But, fine as all these campaigns are, and brilliant as is their leadership, many do not meet the test of faith in the fundamental principles of freedom which Dr. Watts so brilliantly outlined, and which finds more intelligent and vigorous leadership in your own Chamber of Commerce

than in any other organization. Too many others are MOTIVATED BY FEAR rather than by real understanding and sincere conviction.

WE EANNOT CONDUCT BUSINESS TODAY IN A VACUUM DIVORCED FROM POLITICAL INFLT]ENCE. Maladjustrnent in human relations and economic .machinery are vitally affected by pressure politics, and

these great national policy questions are inextricably intii* woven with your personal business problems.

Gover,nment controls will be demobilized haphazardly, i6 thgy are demobilized at all-just as they came upon us--+ne. iat a time. The timing and the method of their removal; '" the determination of whether there shall be a tax policll ,1: which will permit small business men to build their busi-: nesses larger by plowing profits back into the business, and,' permit still smaller businpss men to go in business at all; ',i the disposition of $20 billion of government-owned plantS ,,, and facilities; the disposition of surplus stocks of war sup:plies, a $30 bittion inventory which will over hang a market'.';i which normally carried a $5 billion inventory of goods on ''; shelves; the social security policies ; direct competition of :." government corporations paying no taxes and with their losses guaranteed; and the control of monopoly and restric- ..,j tive practices-Al-I- are determined by the policy of gov: .,4 ._{;

ernment.

So what I have been saying here is not "engaging in poli*- i tics." I am merely trying to emphasize, as strongly as I

know how, what has already been said here of the necessity .ii of your joining in this fight to save the risks-taking system l1 THAT PROVIDED YOUR OPPORTUNITY and that made America great.

with them from your own .business contacts, the tremendous strides taken by this government in the direction of subsidized housing.

Socialized nrass housing cannot lead anywhere except to the collectivist state. The very philosophy of its operation is destructive of the principles of individual freedom.

It not only teaches men and women by thousands at a time to depend on the government for everything, but it discourages the independent and ambitious worker, who

pays his own way, TO SEE THE INDIGENT AND SHIFTLESS HOUSED BETTER THAN HE and realize that he must contribute through taxes to paying for it.

THIS SII'UATION CANNOT HAVE ANY RESULT EXCEPT TO WEAKEN AND POSSIBLY DESTROY

THE OLD AMERICAN TRAITS OF INITIATIVE, AMB]TION AND INDEPENDENCE, CHARACTER-

IZED BY THE HOPE OF EVERY MAN, NO MATTER HOW HUMBLE, TO OWN HIS OWN HOME. fn no way can you make a greater positive contribution to the providing of jobs than by AGGRESSIVELY planning now for an active construction industry after the war, paid for and done by private enterprisers, or by participating in aggressive community planning along the lines of the blueprint laid out by the ARCHITECTURAL FORUM, or by the Committee for Economic .Development, or the "Work-Pile" Program as sponsored by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, and now widely publicized and sponsored by the Department of Commerce of the United States and by local Chambers of Commerce everywhere, and by every Rotary Club in the country.

Because of the peculiar key position you occupy in the economy of our country, there is nothing which you can do individually that will do more to help provide this employment than to aggressively promote the post-war plans o[ your own business.

THERE IS NO GROUP WHICH HAS MORtr LITERALLY IN ITS OWN HANDS THE MAKING OF ]TS OWN FUTURE THAN RETAIL LUMBER MERCHANTS. IT IS YOUR PERSONAL JOB I am talking about the things we must do to keep and better our own way of life. The mainspring of our way of

Americans are the greatest people on earth today solely' because OUR SYSTEM PROVIDE,D UNFETTERqD OPPORTUNITY that encouraged maximurn exertion of the energy and capacity of ALL its people.

After the war, however, private enterprise is going to be able to provide reasonably full employment again, ONLY in the event a militant spirit of enterprise-that dgminanf urge to be and do-IS RESTORED in this country so that great numbers of Americans are encouraged to risk their savings for the lure of gain and thereby provide jobs, not, only for themselves, but for others.

If the economy continues to be frozen, as it is now, to: those who are already engaged in business, by the policy of taxing away every gain, so lhat there is. no hope of building up a business again from small capital investment, AS MOST OF YOU DID, then there is no hope of restoring the bustling, hustling spirit of enterprise which once pervaded America.

We who know this have the obligation to exert oursel'ires, each in his own circle, and to the extent of his ability, to convince the man on the street that IT IS NOT IMMORAL TO BE SUCCESSFUL-IhaI only successful enterprises i provide jobs that there must be profits made and plowed back into new and additional plants and machinery IF HE. IS TO HAVE THE THINGS HE wants of life. , The man who works for us-our neighbor down the street-the rank-and-file of Americans-all want funda-, mentally the same things you and I want. Whether we think in terms of ,a secure job--or the right to earn more so that we can move across the tracks, or buy a new car, of an electric rerfrigerator, or to say that r,ve think the Mayor is a crook in p'ublic-or to give our children a better education than we had-or to go fishing or play^golf on Safurday-or to have our opportunity bounded only by our ovin "get-up-and-go"-fT ALL ADDS, UP TO .WANTING THE SAME THING-freedon to live our own lives in our own way.

Your obligation and mine is to do some oJ the PRACTICAL things we have been talking about that must be done if we are to avert the very real peril that we shall win the war but lose the peace; that must be done if we are to keep America free; that must be done if we are to keep it a land in which government is the servant and not the master of the people.

AMERICA My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty,

Of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died!

Land of the Pilgrim's pride!

From ev'ry mountain side, Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee, Land of the noble free,

Thy name I love.

I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,

And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song.

Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break.

The sound prolong.

Our fathers' God. to Thee, Author of liberty, To thee we'sing.

Long may our land be bright 'With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might,

Great God our King.
