GOVERNMENT
PRODUCTION
A study has recently
been completed in New
South Wales which adds
new evidence to the al
ready ..strong contention
that industry under private
management is more effi
cient than industry under
government control. Work
men in government-owned
factories in New South
Wales were unable to meet
production records of em
ployees in private industry
by an average of $208 per
capita a year. In other
words each employee un
der political employment
lost $208 of his productive
potential each 12 months.

United States to turn more
and more of our industrial
1 system over to government.
In spite of protests from
industrialists who are in a
position to know the differ
ence in efficiency between
private and government
plants there are millions of
I our people who lean to
ward still greater sociali
zation of business. Yet any
intelligent study of prob
lems involved should prove
the desirability of contin
uing our system of private
enterprise.
We have built in this
country a great economy
i and a highly successful so
cial system through use of
the profit motive: Under
: government this motive is
entirely lost. We do not
doubt a moment that mone
tary reward is the only
force in our economic and
social advance. Certainly it
is too important a force to.
eliminate. Our own exper
ience should teach us that.
The New South Wales will
lead to that conclusion.—
(Juneau Empire). ,
Since the United States
Coast Guard was intrust
i
ed with the international
Ice patrol in 1914, not
a single life has been
lost as a result of a
ship’s collision with an
iceberg.

WHAT DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT
SUFFERING?
Did you ever stop to think
about the suffering of the ordi
nary man and woman and child
in the conquered countries of Eu
rope? Have you ever, just for a
moment, thought of the Hell they
have gone through during the
years they were being tortured
and starved and mistreated by
Hitler’s gang of barbarians?
Did you ever stop to think that
even when our own sons and
brothers were liberating these un
fortunate people, that very lib
eration was bringing to them un
speakable agony and suffering.
That with every bomb dropped
on the cities of Holland and Bel
gium and Denmark and Greece,
there were fresh wounds and
maimed legs and sightless eyes?
Have you stopped to think that
after our boys had marched in
end liberated a people from slav
ery, there was still a lack of al
most every single thing consider
ed necessary for life? A lack of
medicine and of food and of
clothing? These things do not
grow in the wake of an advanc
ing army, even of an army of
freedom. They must be supplied
by those who do have and who
are generous enough to give, gen
erous enough to be able to find
the midst of plenty, a thought
for those who are in need.
You have not had to suffer, you
will not be called upon to suffer
in this war but you are called
upon to make a small sacrifice
to help those wiho have suffered
and who are suffering today. The
National War Fund, the fund of
#
your country, is calling to you,
asking you to give and to give
plenty, to help those less fortun
ate than yourself.
There will be no interest drawn
on this money you are asked to
give. The principal will not be
returned to you. But if human
gratitude isn’t enough interest for
you, if your own generosity isn’t i
enough of a return for your mon
ey, then the people of the Unit
ed States have changed much in
the past few years. Give to the
National War Fund, for the suf
fering people of the liberated
countries of Europe.
