Much higher, in fact, than some of the plain facts of the matter which, unfortunately, are neither glamorous nor colorful. Nevertheless, some businesses have begun to tell their side of the story, well-knowing that though plain facts do not possess much color, they stand the test of time better. This is going to be-a little hard on some of the political legends, however.’ There’s the one about the country’s chain stores being run by—you guessed it —the Capt. Kidds of Wall St. But a recent survey, audited and certified by a firm of public accountants, brings into the light the fact that the general public, including citizens in all 48 states, own two-thirds of the stock of America’s chain store firms, with more than eighty per cent of the net profits of 138 companies going to more than one-third of a million stockholders in all parts of the country and in all walks of life. That, of course, is the way it should be, with the public at large holding the major share of control and receiving the major share of benefits. As a scapegoat, this place called Wall St. failed to measure up to the accusations against it, for the survey revealed more than 85 per cent of the directors of these stores didn’t even live in New York City. Statistics aren't exciting. The picture they present isn’t painted in rich colors, in the fanciful hues that depict the Captain Kidds of Wall St. But for all that, the factual picture deserves attention, too !—Contributed.

And the same principle frequently applies to legislatuve cure-alls for Hitler’s New Technique ills and disillusionments of the body ‘politic. ; As a current instance, certain legislators, in a dither of apprehension __ The gray-green tides of Hitler's troops sweep eastward, and Austria, Sudentenland, and now Czecho-Slovakia, have gone to their graves. The map of old Europe has been changed many times in the past by her generals and diplomats, but they were strangers to the technique that Adolph Hitler has developed with such astounding’ success—thus far. Those tactics are worth studying. A well-respected military expert like France’s General Albert Duval even goes so as to state they constitute a new military art. They consist in creating a war scare and menacing the enemy in time of peace. This is done in such a manner that it will be up to the enemy of _ starting to take ageressive action, and thus run the risk war Spears. ‘ It has worked to perfection—thus far. Germany makes a decisivé military maneuver, without actually embarking on open warfare. Her troops prepare to invade another country, as with Austria and Czechoslovakia, to free Germans from “oppression.” Once “‘peace and order’’ are restored, and satisfaction accorded her, she promises to desist. If the great enemies of Gérmany don’t like this, it’s up to them to initiate actual warfare, thus neatly putting them in the position of aggressors. Since the great enemy powers naturally want peace, Germany proceeds to hold and consolidate her pogition—un‘til she creates another menacing war scare and repeats the tac_ tics. That's “‘framing’’ developed to the level. of a fine art. 2 Even the smartest of military: tacticians have met their -Waterloos.

It may even be _ a strike-out that will retire the side.—Contributed. 5 ~f : . duction. They spend the day at the a ‘ ir fair and the evening watching “Run. Little Chillun”’, Recently, 100 San Francisco ministers were invited to see the play, -which gives an authentic picture of the Negro’s spiritual life. Not one had anything but praise for “Run Little Ohillun,” ‘despite the fact that there is a wild and barbaric scene filled with native dancing. The play of evil against good had to be shown, in order to carry the action of the drama, which concerns itself with the tempting of the Hope Paptist preachers son by Sulamai, the siren of Toomer’s Bottom. Evil is ewept away in the magnificent third act revival ecene, so true a glimpse of worship within the churches of the Deep South that one, Negro youth in the audiences last week was ypelled to join in the ~ DRAMA TO RUN UNTIL MAY 6 Little Chillun”, the colorful all‘Negro folk drama now in its 13th for “Run Little Chillun” since it was ‘because voters have been ‘‘propagandized”’ in election campaigns, have introduced some 40 or 50 bills designed to prevent political breach-ofpromise, to prohibit too expensive wooing of the electorate and to forewarn the prospective bride when the groom is suspect as a dissolute person. Most of the bills, it is undoubtedly true, are well intentioned. But most of the bills, it is equally true, would only serve to make a bad situation worse. The ,lawmakers in question are simply making the age-old mistake of marrying the first girl who happens to be handy and passably acceptable. There are a series of bills which would make it illegal for any ‘‘corporation’’ save a non-profit corporation, formed for that specific pap pose—to. contribute funds to a political campaign, either for or against an issue, or for or against a candidate. Some of these bills, in fact, would make it a felony, punishable by a fine of $5000 or five years in prison, for any ‘‘eorporation”’ to contribute to any campaign. In short, if legitimate ‘business is attacked by. legislation which would destroy its ability to operate, or corffiscate its income, it has no recourse. If it contributes a dollar to defend itself, its officers will be sent to the state penitentiary and the company ‘will be subject to heavy ‘fine. If this type of legislation had been in effect during the last election, ‘it Tax’ and the “‘Thirty. Dollars Every Thursday’ delusion might well have been enacted—for no campaign funds would have been available to wage campaigns against them.’ And Caalifornia farm ‘organizations should also consider that if this type of legislation had ‘been in effect, the
present farm plan of legislative representation—guaranteeing rural Cali-. fornia a voice in the State Legislature-——never would have been placed on the initiative, nor would it have secured the votes necessary to make it effective. aa “Corporation” ‘is a broad word. In the minds of certain legisators, it apparently means “selfish interests,’ And “selfish interests’’ apparently mean all interests not at interest is well'to consider that the ‘‘Single} with that particular legislator! To add to the confusion, there’s a bill that would require every campaign committee—for or against a measure on the ballot—to impound its campaign funds ‘with the State Corporatiens Commissioner and submit campaign bils to said commissioner. There are still other bills to crack down on local election campaign committees, as well as committees for state wide campaigns, and to require detailed statements of expenditures. ; : And there are bills which would declare it a felony for any public utility to contribute a dollar to defend its business—even though the Legislature passed measures designed to wipe the utility out of existence. Reading these measures, one may well wonder: ‘Is this still free America, or is it Nazi Germany?’’ For the right to have his day in court, or his day before the people, belongs to every American—and to every American business. Capping the climax, one of the solons who objects 'to any ‘‘corporate”’ institution spending money to present its case before the public, has a measure which would permit State, county, city or district administrative agencies to use general tax funds to convince the taxpayers that they should vote new public works and new public debts. It is to be hoped that the lawmakers don’t make the the rebound which would defeat their own purpose and cheat democracy of free expression. The right of protest is still an inalienable right of the American people — and the nothing Legislature should do to deny it! ON SNOW SURVEY Associate Forester Leland S.
