"HOW TO WIN FRIENDS and
Author of
INFLUENCE PEOHI"
D. Carnegie
a \UU enjoy making someone else happier? Well, I know
the answer to that one. If you make someone else happy,
deliberately, you will enjoy the aftermath, as surely as the night
follows the day.
Carl P. West of Decatur, Ga., relates an inci
dent that he says was truly tragic, though
many might call it a minor happening. He
tells of a stenographer with a record of 35 years
of faithful service who asked her boss why she
didn’t get a raise in salary. The younger girls
were getting raises regularly with' very little
effort on their part. She was producing twice
the work of any one of them, yet, no increase
for her. Why?
Her boss took the easiest way out and said, “We can
get anyone off the street at $35 per week to do your work;
why pay you more!’’
Thirty-Ave yeass of faithful service and no one appre
ciated her efforts, her knowledge of the work. Life for her
seemed unbearable.
Mr. West was a witness to this unfortunate incident and
his sympathy was all for the woman. A few days later he had
aa urgent job which would have to be done completely over
and which it would seem would require a good two days’ of
time. He went to the above mentioned stenographer with his
problem and she suggested a way that would enable them to
get the work out within a couple of hours.
Upon completion of the work, he praised the stenag-
rapher not only for what she had done but for her service
to the company over the years. He pointed out that they
would have been lost without her help on this job.
He had no more than got back into his office, when she
appeared. She said, “Mr. West, I wouldn’t take a thousand dol
lars for what you said a few minutes ago.” Mr. West asked,
.“Why?” Then added, “I didn’t say anything you didn’t de
serve.

“But,” she said, “you gave me all the credit and you praised
me in front of my boss. I know after what you said, that he will
not only think me worth more, but he will feel that I am more
valuable than someone he could call in from the street. You
have given me a new lease on life—and I am so happy.”
Mr. West says that he was happier, too, for days after that.
Is there someone whose life you can touch as easily, and
be happier because you do? Try it.
SURVEY SHOWS
4 MILLION REDS
IN WEST EUROPE
Paris, March 27—A survey show
ed today that Moscow probably can
count on unquestioning obedience
from about 4.000,000 dyed-in-the-red
Communists in the D Marshall Plan
nations and areas of Western Eu
rope.
This appraisal indicated that pre
sent anti-West threats by the Com
munists are far out of proportion to
their ability to back them up—that
their bark is worse than their bite.
Marshall Plan countries have a to
tal population of 235.185.000.
Still, in time of war the Commun
ists, despite their numerical weak
ness, would be able to hamper West
ern armies and aid. the Russians by
blowing up bridges and power sta
tions and carrying out similar acts
of sabotage.
But they probably would have
little opportunity to carry out ac
tivities of that type. In the event
of an East-West conflict, the chances
are the governments of Western Eu
rope would outlaw the Communist
party and jail Communists leaders
in a hurry.
The survey of Communist power
was made by Associated Press cor
respondents. It was based on the
Communists’ own n ports and on
iovernmtnt estimates.
A differentation is made between
he party's voting strength in elec-
ions and the number cf Cornmun-
sts who could be expected blindly
o follow orders from the Kremlin
in peace and from an occupying So-
iet army in time of war.
Even the Communists do not say
hat the 15,387,323 votes the party
oceived in the last significant elec
tions held in the 19 nations and
reas-- represent their strength,
lany leftist and workers who are
not members of the party string
dong at the ballot box with the
Communists in the hope of swelling
the size of their pay envelopes.
Even assuming that the voting
;trength was an index of the party’s
>ize, it still would mean that the
IComiTufnists have the support of
only six per cent of the people
living in the Marshall Plan coun
ties.
Thus, the survey suggests there
may be more holler than fight in
the recent threats of Western Eu
ropean Communist leaders to
hwart the North Atlantic treaty and
;o side with Russia in the event of
war.
The Communists virtually are
pow.rless in Western Europe’s
legislative halls, the survey showed.
They may create rowdy disturban
ces and make fiery speeches from
the floor but the party holds only
524 of the 5,189 seats m the com
bined parliaments of the 19 nations
and regions.
The survey showed the Commu-
* Vi
nists are strongest in Italy, France,
and Germany.
In Italy, the Communists claim
,to have slightly more than 2,000,-
00 members. Militant strength of
the party is represented mainly by
the Communist partisans, estimated
reliably to number 100.000 or more.
The party polled 6,989,584 votes last
year and has 141 of the 574 seats
in the chamber of deputies and 75
of 334 seats in the senate.
France’s Communist party has
800.000 members, the interior min
istry says. Probably 100,000 of these
are die hards. In the 1946 election
the party received 5.351.926 votes of
a total of 19,216.375. It holds 182
i of the 611 seats in the lower house
of parliament and 20 of 320 in the
I upper house.
1 Communists in the three Western
zones of Germany have polled 1,-
304.941 votes recently. They have
two of the 65 seats in the purlia-
mentory council at Bonn.
