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

that Republican investigators “have
found waste, corruption, graft, in-

program.
He called on the public to “diY-
