Thou shall not steal—Cornelius!
If thou employest men any pay
est them not in accordance with
their worth and their needs, but
growest unjustly fat by the sweat
of their brows, then thou are tak
ing from them what thou hast not
rightly paid for—and thou shalt
not steal, Cornelius!
If thou workest for another for
a just wage, and givest not thy
full time and skill—or, if because
laborers are scarce, thou demand
est more than is thy due—then
thou cheatest thy employer—and
thou shalt not steal, Cornelius!
If thou are a teacher and dost
remove from youthful minds and
hearts God, religion, and all mor
ality—teaching as facts that which
thou canst not prove—then thou
art a robber of the innocent—and
thou shalt not steal, Cornelius!
If thou are a wedded man and
dost misuse the privileges of the
married state,, then thou robbest
God and the world of human be
ings—and thou shalt not steal,
Cornelius!
If thou are a surgeon and dost
mutiliate the body of an innocent
man who thou thinkest <and only j
thinkest> may bear ill fruit, then
thou we destroying in him a God
tfiven function—and thou shalt
i not steal, Cornelius!
If thou, as a physician, dost end
the life of one thou deemest to be
unfit, or because he sufferenth ex
ceedingly, then thou takst betimes
that which belongeth to God alone
—and thou shalt not steal, Corne
lius!
Because “everybody doth it” or
“business is business”—because
paganism and animalism are tol
erated and applauded by many—
because much of the world hath
discarded God and hath thus gone
mad—none of these, Cornelius,
giveth thee right or excuse to do
likewise.
Surely, dear Cornelius, such of
these teachings as would rob God
and man and the world of what is
essentially and rightfully theirs,
must bring down afresh from the
heights of Mt. Sinai that terrible
and unmistakable warning to all
men of all time—THOU SHALT
NOT STEAL!

Business Loans
Show Increase
WASHINGTON, i£») — Business
loans appear definitely on the in
crease in volume. The gain is a
sign that business men are stock
ing up on goods at last for fall
and Christmas sales.
Finance officials here predicted
yesterday this uptrend will go on
—with perhaps some interruptions
—right on up to Christmas itself.
The rejuvenating effects on the
economy of increased inventory
buying can be judged by the fact
that the commerce department
singled out a cutback in that buy
ing as the prime cause of the 1949
dip in business.

! DENIES POLITICAL PRESSURE
USED IN B-36 CONTRACT
LOS ANGELES, (JP» — P 1 a n e
maker John K. Northrop, u hose
contract to build “Flying Wings”
for the air force was cancelled in
favor of the B-36 superbomber,
doesn’t believe politics had any
thing to do with it.
He testified to this e:ieci Wed
nesday before a House sub-com
mittee which is investigating re
ports that political favoritism may
have influenced selection of the
B-36 as a major air force weapon.
A n o t her witness, Oliver F.
I Echols, Northrop board chairman
and one-time chief of the air force
materiel command, said: “I was
probably more responsible than
anyone else for having the B-30
ordered. I don’t see how political
influence could have been brought
to bear in awarding the contract.”
