NEMESIS OF DICTATORS The term free enterprise should have u new and deeper meaning for all the people of this nation. For the free enterprise system has been given the job of producing the incredible quantities of weapons which we need to defeat enemies whose avowed purpose is the absolute destruction of evety thing this country stands for, including free enterprise." Recent reports indicate that the vast production goals laid down by our government are being generally realized, llane, ship, tank and gun production is greater by far than the most sanguine visionary would have dared to forecast two or thre years back. Every plane, every ship, every, tank, every bullet, is an example of free enterprise at work.

Their livelihood doesnt depend on licking the hoots of the They can criticize clique in power. and serve the You can see it in finance in the hanks which are supplying the money and the thousand and one essential services which war industry and peace industry both must have. You can see it, in short, in every American activity in every nook and cranny of the vast Atneriean countryside. The greatest issue of all time will lie decided by this war. That issue is whether we shall have a free woild when it is over, or whether we shall have a world ruled by a handful of brutal autocrats who hate everything that freedom means. American free entei prise is giving everything it has to the magnificent troops who carry the instruments of war into battle. Once the war is won, this nation must face vast new problems of reconstruction and readjustment. We will think again in terms of production for human happiness, ami for a higher standard of living. And then, again, the job will he up to the free entei prise system. That system, and that system only, can give us stabil- ity with freedom in the world of tomorrow.

THREAT TO SMALL BUSINESS RAILROAD FACTS The gravest threat to small business that has yet appeared, is found in the proposal to freeze all prices as of a given date. A very large peicentage of small businesses are in the retail field. These concerns sell food, hardware, clothes, furniture a thousand and one commodities which the consumers of the nation must have. And retailing will be subjected to incredible disruption if the freeze everything policy is adopted. Retailers have been among the most active opponents of price inflation. They have cooperated to the fullest possible extent with the government in every effort so far made to hold prices down. As part of that work, and at the direct request of high government officials, thousands of retailers have refrained from basing their prices on replacement cost. Instead, they have based their prices on original cost even though the wholesale cost may be much higher than when their stock was bought. In some instances, present wholesale cost is as high or higher than the price charged at retail for goods bought some time ago. If prices are arbitrarily frozen, retailers will not be able to make the adjustment between wholesale and retail costs that is necessary if they are to earn sufficient profit to stay in business. In some cases, they would be legally bound to sell goods for less than they must pay for them and in a great many cases they would do no better than break even. Bankruptcy would he the eventual In a recent address, Ernest E. Norris, president of the Southern Railway System, spoke of his complete faith in the future of the railroads. That faith is based on a solid bed of fact. Here are some of the facts he mentioned: result , First, this country possesses the largest and the best railroad plant in all the world.
