Show I Page Six life, and it is in perfect harmony Americas Service to Lesser Countries The greatest service America could perfrom for the countries of the world would be to demonstrate to them that everyone benefits when the exchange of goods and services is motivated by the expectation of honest profit, Benjamin F. Fair-leschairman of the executive advisory committee of United States Steel corporation, declared in a recent speech at Los Angeles.

Further, it would increase the of people who would no longer be objects of charity. They wotild become skilled and proud producers, and thereby earn the service of others by serving them in turn. reli- n with nations that use various pretexts to suppress the profit motive, those that permit their people to earn a legitimate profit from their work show a superior record in serving each other, Mr. Fairless said.
