"Judge James F. Henniner “took into consideration” the jury’s plea of mercy andstated that the defendant apparently acted through “the dictates of his eon- science” and thus became ‘“‘a martyr.” The jurist pointed out, however, that asa martyr, the man “must accept will- i the punishment that goes with the bi img of the laws of the state.” This olférvation points a faet that is over- lofted by people who want to be “mar- type? but without paying any penalty for thew infraction of the laws established by y. == No man, in his right mind, can possi- bhe assert that the statutes of the most eimilized countries of the world represent tH&ultimate in wisdom or justice.

The top planners find, however, that there is something lacking. Each nation plans its defense forces, with the idea of having army, navy and air force. The bal- anced forces of the member nations may not make a balanced force for the com- mon defense. Gen. Omar Bradley makes the point suggesting that the nations, to provide an while I took notes _w overall balance to collective defense, must ay eae adopt the theory of national specializa- tion. The United States, for example, must develop that part of a collective defense force that it can provide better than any other nation, and other nations must do the same so that, in the end, the collective defense force will be efficient. While no official commitment has been given, it is understood that the French, Dutch and Belgians are expected to con- centrate on ground treops, while the United States and Great Britain take care of sea pewer. In the air, we will probably lead in‘ strategic bombing but the British are, considered best in jet engines and fighters. Close to the European scene, the British are given the nod for tactical air support forces.

It had total income of more than $900,000,000, of which the largest part was spent for milk and other raw mater- ials, and necessary supplies and services. It paid wages and salaries of nearly $157,000,000, and taxes totaling more than $32,000,000. After all the bills were paid, a profit of $33,259,000 was left. But all of this didn’t go to the owners. Most of it—$19,- 399,000—was left, in the business to.take eare of future’ needs and possible contin- gencies. The stockholders actually get only $13,860,000. A brief analysis of these figures is illuminating. The: concern’s total profit was only 3.7 cents on each dollar of sales. For each dollar of profit, $4.70 was spent for wages. And, finally, for each dollar of profit, just about the same amount went to government in the form of taxes. Breaking the figures down farther, government received well over twice as much as was paid to the stockholders— and the workers received well over eleven times as much!

GOOD IDEA—BUT POOR GUESSING It is said that there is an “economy bloc in Congress” that threatens to slash aid to Nations round the World. ee The President says that the recom— mendations he has made to maintain for- eign aid are “not acts of charity, nor a waste of the resources of the United States.” On the contrary the President says that these tremendous appropriations of billions of dollars are the key-stone of our protection against the destruction of another war.
