Teachers of history and geography have the finest opportunity of all time to"^ make viv^ and realistic all the nations of the earth. If we are to bring to bear our full productive and inventive power, we must let all bear a due share of the. work and the cost. 1 I have been giving accounts oft some major industries to show that) industry is doing its share and.is not] using the war as an opportunity to; increase its wealth unreasonably. The: DuPont Company’s report for the] first quarter of 1941 shows earnings of 31.77 a’ share, compared with $2.04 in the same quarter of 1940. That is the way it Iroks on the sur face, but the company really earned $3.63 a share in Um first quarter of 1941, as against $2.42 for the first quarter of last year. The conipany set aside $17,143,000 for Federal tax es jn Income for the first quarter. For the same period*of last yeat that company set aside $4,205,000 for Fed eral income taxes. Leaving oc(t the taxes, the earnings for the first three nK>nths of this year are the best in the history of the company* This is in line with most of the report I’ve I » read—more business, but lest profits. High taxes and wages are getting a larger share of earnings, with for the stockholders.

Strange, but true that the valiant people who taught the world the meaning of rule by the people should now Ito under the heel of a nation which wishes to master the world. The assurance of Hitler’s ultimate crash becomes clearer with each vic tory.* Evmy natioi ctotoated by Hitler must be kept under control by German gapisons.
