What my reader did not fully un- k nown - As for his successor, au-
derstand is the importance of 'the ihorities on Russian government and
salesman of our economy. She did!^ >ersonal ^^ s describe him as a cun-
not quite seem to grasp the idea n ^ n ®’ Pl°^i n g> crue l»" ruthless paper
that our country has learned how \ pus ! ie f' And is ^ eared he lacks i
to produce, not only all the tre-; J” 3 P ati ence and may plunge the.
mendous amount of military mate- v ' ,orld ln a blood-bath that will bei
rial we need, but also the consutn-.
er goods we can use. And that the
major fear of business right now is
the fear of over-production. She
does not realize that the salesman
is the kingpin in our free econo
my, and that, by creating and satis
fying enough new wants, only he
and those who sell advertising can
keep our economy in high gear. The
salesman is a mighty important
person.
Job Coiling Unlimited
Sales work has a special appeal
to ambitious young men because
earnings are in direct proportion to
hard work and ability. The sales
man gets a terrific bang out of his
job because he knows his efforts
cause people to raise their standard
of living. He knows, too, that if
only a thousand people buy an ar
ticle without salesmanship, it may
cost $10.00, but with good selling
and resultant mass production, the
consumer may get the same article
for as low as $2.00.
A good, creative salesman has the
spirit of the missionary—a lot of
courage honesty, unbounded ener
gy, persistence, firmness and un
usual adaptability. The good sales
man must be able to withstand ex
treme frustration, be able to organ
ize his own work and work under
pressure. Hie good salesman is not
a clock watcher. He always wishes

its destruction.
The free world waits with fear and!
uncertainty for a glimpse at the new
regime’s policies and future plans.
There has been no shedding of tears
over Stalin. But neither has there
been jubilation. The future is too un
certain.
There is not likely to be any early
indication of future policy for this
regime which consists of Malenkov
as Prime Minister, Marshal Kle-
menti Voroshilov as Soviet Presid
ium, find L. P. Beria, V. M. Molotov,
Nikolai Bulganin and Lazar M. Dag-
onovich as deputy chairmen of the
Council of Ministers.
It does appear, however, that Mal
enkov will spend considerable time
cousolidating his posftion and ab
solute authority. After that it is any
one’s guess.
Too much has already been writ
ten about the man Stalin and the
trail of death and misery he left be
hind him. It is the future that con
cerns the free world, and particular
ly, the future of Russia.
At present this seems to be the
situation in Moscow:
1. The men in the Kremlin were
concerned, and still are, about the
reaction of the Russian people over
Stalin’s death and the appointment
of Malenkov. That becomes evident
as they have continuously broadcast
an appeal to the people to stand by
