National unity will keynote this year’s celebration on’ Wednesday, September 17. of the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution at Philadelphia 154 years ago. . In these strained times, national unity is well worth a day's patriotic observance, as the Constitution itself. It is the most vital of all safeguards to that great document of freedom, to our democracy and to the way of life this naiton pre-, fers to follow. . And it is important to realize that we have more of national unity than we had a year ago or ten years) ago. Just asa loyal family is drawn closer together by personal assault from outsiders, threats to a nation’s well being draws its citnzens into a closer knit body. ' ‘Undeniably there is still room for improvement. There is, need for labor and employers to thresh out their differences and to do it speedily and sanely. There is need for closer understanding between business and government. There is transcending need for people to shoulder their obligations along with their priviliges as citizens. Nevertheless, as international uncertainty grows, solid-. arity at home expands, too. That would probably please, more than anything else, the great men who phrased the Constitution Americans revere.—Contributed. NO PROFITEERING In spite of the fact that business in many industries is ‘ boominz and production climbs steadily to new peaks, industry is not getting rich from the billions of dollars that are being turned into weapons: Such is the conclusion that must be drawn from a recent survey of initial defense contracts placed by the Army and Navy. According to it, many companies are receiving a small. er return on government contracts than they ordinarily _ re‘ceive on private ones. The average return on material orders was found to be less than 4 per cent, while fees on construction projects averaged 3.2 per cent. In specific cases the profit margin was even lower. . Facts like these indicate that. if anyone attempts to drag out that battered bogey-man spectre of “‘war millionaires” to_day, he will be talking about the little man who wasn't there. The truth is that industry has rallied wholeheartedly to the defense of America. It is concerned with just one job—making munitions, not millionaires —Contributed.
