FOR THEIR SECURITY Out in the battle lines of land, sea and air, it is America's splendid youth that is bearing the real brunt of this war. By its very nature this war, above all others, demands the finest vigor of youth--youth which, in normal times, seldom envisions its own eventual twilight. There are so many long and dark moments, we know, in which these boys, who probably never gave it such serious thought before, think of their future--of the days and the years they are so gallantly winning. The future must be made secure for them--that is the assignment of those of us safely left at home. Their future security, in the end, boils down individually to having job: in our American way of life that is the essential as well as the right. It is, then, of first importance that the National Association of Manufacturers, representing the bulk of America's employers, has this forthright plank in its recently adopted "Program For a Better America." It reads: "To achieve his own security, a man must have a productive Job, and we have a program for creating such jobs through the increase of capital equipment and the full cooperation of labor and management. "If America moves tnto the postwar period under sound laws and sound political and economic institutions, the American citizen who is willing and able to work, or go into business, or otherwise serve his country in a productive capacity, need have little fear of insecurity during his productive years." BACK THE ATTACK! BUY MORE WAR BONDS! money had to cover. When they took that part time job, they learned that money does not usually come easy in this world. They commonly had toi work fairly hard for rather low pay. The experience taught them manY things about the value of money, and there was a good chance that they would become more prudent in asking for it and using it. Recent experiences in teaching people the value of money have been different, because of the very high wages paid in many occupa- tions. Many young people have been able to earn more money temporarily than their parents could have earned a few years ago. Such an experience is not likely to teach them anything about the value of money. They may get the idea that wartime ccnditions are likely to keep on indefinitely, • and that they will always be able to earn such high pay. The present employment oppor- tunities give young people an un- precedented chance to get a start in the world. The chance of course does not last long for the boys, as the great majority of them will have to quit when called for mili- tary service. A host of boys and girls are earning this good money now, and they should be able to put away the greater part of it for future needs and development, unless of course the needs of their families should take part of these funds. One wouid think that nearly every money earning youth could invest a considerable part of his savings in war bonds. The money earning youths should not deprive themselves of needed education, simply to get money. If they show thrift in saving a good part of their earnings, they have learned a useful lesson on money values. --V-- AXIS SHORTAGES As the war continues to cut down axis-held territory and to grind up axis manpower it is becoming in- creasingly evident that the aggres- sor nations have encountered fatal shortages. Speaking broadly, the European axis shortage is one chiefly of morale and the Japan- ese shortage is principally one of weapons. Weakness of axis morale in Eur- ope can no longer be doubted. It has appeared in Italian ranks all along the line of fighting from Ethiopia and Spain, Albania and Greece, to Egypt and finally the northeastern tip of Sicily. When the Italian peninsula is penetrated, preference of the Italian people to fight wars under balconies will be paramount in that nation's collapse. Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria have become convinced that they l are on the wrong side. Conquered European nations continue to re- sist conscription of workers, ac- cording to reports. Morale of the German people Ls not subject to accurate appraisal, but their capa- city for collspsing before over° whelming odds is well known. In the Pacific, although major campaigns have not yet been ini-i tiated by the Allies, the japanese are alreadY showing unmistakable signs of running out of air equip- ment. At every air encounter with the Americans the Japs lose heavily: That points to a time when ~*'~ Allies will dominate the air over 'the Pacific. A similar trend is ap- !parent in Japan's naval forces, with o Sr T1¢£ 8--25 BOMBER WITN 7$-MM INDUSTRY hag SUCCEEDED AT fAST IN "tIFF- IN@ THE AR- TILg.£RF INTO TII£ AIR/" M4@#A~fr#RIg$. the Jap command indicating strong dislike for major sea engagements. Both of these weaknesses are crucial for the enemy. They will be written sooner or later into total ax~s defeat. Faced by the growing power and purpose of the Allies, either low morale or in- sufficient weapons will wreck the enemy. FITTING INTO ARMY LIFE Very many men in the armed services express themselves as en-I joying military life. They cannotI be expected to be happy in the] horrible experiences of battle, orI amid many discomforts of overseasI service. Absence from their fam- ilies is a trial, but they might like the life of these services in ordinary peace times. Many problems of civilian life are solved for them by the system under which they now live, and many worries are escaped. Among the men who do not take easily to service life are those who in ordinary times revolt at any form of discipline. The men who violate laws and regulations at home can't be expected to like the !firm control of the armed services. There are also men who are ex- cellent citizens, but who are very alert to see defects in the condi- tions around them. They usually have ideas as to how these condi- tions can be improved, and feel dissatisfied if such steps are not taken. With adequate training they should make good officers. With- out Such training, they see the faults of'their surroundings, but are not in a position to remove these defects. They often chafe under these conditions. It is a great glft for people to adapt themselves to the conditions under which they live. The "old pioneers had to do it. People who work in rough and undeveloped territory have to learn this flexible spirit, and learn to live under hard conditions and make the best of tSem. People learn to adjust themselves to such things at home when they rough it on camping trips. The men come out best in the military services if they can make the best of whatever conditions they find, ComplaLrflng over things that can't be helped does not get people anywhere. full swing. And now is a good time to address a word to the in- dividual whose principal motive in buying bonds is the attainment of future financial security and a reg- ular income from interest pay- ments on the bonds. The trouble wi%h this type of bond buyer is that when further purchases be- come inconvenient "and no longer fit his "investment program" he tends to keep his pocket buttoned. He claims that he has done his share. The time is long past for this line of thinking. Bonds today must be bought by individuals in prodigious quantities. Patriotism, not personal profit, should compel their purchase. As a matter of fact, if we mean what we say in glowing tributes to free- dom and our professed willingness to make sacrifices to win the war we should be glad to buy bonds regardless of interest enticements. Unless bond buying, in the last analysis, is wholly dictated by the urge to cast our lot so far as pos- sible with the men at the front, we can lay no claim to being patriotic. Real patriots care not a J whir for personal security or profit when their nation is in peril. Our freedom is in deadly peril because too many people are work- ing for time and a half instead of for victory. The Fourth War Loan Campaign is an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. Buy bonds for the sake of your country --and forget yourself. If you do this, you can justly call yourself a true American. V ADVERTISING TONIC Business is not a kind of per- petual motion machine that runs along indefinitely without anything pushing it ahead. It needs some motive power behind, or some kind i of tonic force that shall bring in new resources of strength. Adver- tising is that kind of motive force and tonic force. Business con- cerns are always losing customers because people die or move away or get interested tn some compet- ing concern's offerings. Advertising is the power that offsets all such losses, and does a good deal more than that, by con- stantly drawing in new trade. A good advertising policy back of the goods of a store brings in a con- DO YOU MEASURE UP?
