the question of the military fitness of his ington, who need to'know more about the

Most of the information ex-
ists already in books and documents,
though much of the recent Asiatic history
say the Du Pont chemical com-
pany. In peacetime it buys mater-
ials and products from—believe
it or not—30,000 other compan-
ies! If each had only 100 employ-
ees, that would be 3,000,000 peo-
ple, plus their families, whose eco-
nomic welfare is dependent to
some degreee on Du Pont’s suc-
cess.
Again Du Pont as an illustra-
tion, the pay envelopes of a great
many other people are affected
to some degree by the continuing
stream of new products developed
by the bog company’s research
program. Du Pont spent 10 years
and $27,000,000 developing and
manufacturing its first ounce of
nylon staple. The new -synthetic
fiber then created hundreds of
new businesses, and literally thou-
sands of business expansions—
new hosiery mills and dress manu-
facturers, sales force expansions
and a h u n d r e d-and-one other
kinds.
By The Pound
Nylon fibre sells at about $1.50
a pound. My wife and daughters
wear some garments made of it.
Among them is a nylon dress—
cost $32.95. It weighs a pound and
three ounces. The textile mill
which spun the 1.3 pounds of fi-
bre into yarn paid Du Pont $1.-
95 for it. The difference between
this $1.95 and the'$82.95 my wife
paid for the dress went as wages
and profits to the employees and
owners of a number of small bus-
inesses. These include the spinner
who spun the fibre into yarn, the
throwster who twisted it, the wea-
ver who made the cloth, the fin-
isher who dyed it, the designer,
the cutter, the seamstress—and
finally all the people and compan-
ies in the channels of wholesaling
and retailing.
Of course big industry is de-
pendent upon the small industries
for its production progress and its
market. But the biggest benefi-
ciary in all this is the consumer.
Mrs. Benson says her nylon dress
will out wear two silk ones. And
the man who pays the bills at our
house says it cost less than the
silk ones used to, and its upkeep
is nil. Instead df meeting the
cleaning man at the door with his
long paper bag and a bill, I find
the nylon garments at our house
frequently hanging from the show-
er curtain rod, drying after a
quick wash in the basin, and being
automatically pressed.
Limitless Horizon
Sixty per cent of the vast vol-
ume of business done by Du Pont
last year was on new products
developed in the last 20 years
through pure and applied research.
Competition spurs such develop-
ments. There are 9,000 other
chemical companies in America,
including some that have grown
up from little companies to big
ones in recent years—such as Un-
ion Carbide and Carbon, Mon-
santo, American Cyanamid, the
Dow Company, etc. Of the 768,-
000 jobs in this chemical industry
today, nearly all of them grew out
of research.
This exploring of the almost
limitless horixon of development
is constantly being done by the
big companies who have the re-
sources to carry on extensive re-
search. And it guarantees a contin-
uing growth in the field of little
business as well as big. Although
the Socialists will simply close
their eyes and not believe it, the
U. 8. Census Bureau reports there

While the Moodys like to go out dancing and

"I expect to help him with his campaign for

Would she like to see her husband run for the
presidency one day? I asked.
