WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS
For hard and realistic descriptions
of what something really means, It's
usually a good idea to go to the dic
tionary or encyc , opedia. _ ,. __ The defini- . ,
J
tions contained therein may not be
very poetic, but they give a real
picture of the hard facts.
Here's the definition of war con
tained in the encyclopedia:
“The act of war consists in the de
struction of men's bodies and the
work of their hands.’’
More and more, as reports from
all over the world come pouring into
Washington, experts are being made
to realize the destructive effect of
war, either directly or indirectly, to
the “work of men's hands'—to the
industry and enterprise that in time
of peace are devoted to making the
material life of people happier and
more comfortable.
The first observation naturally
made by economists on this subject
is that war expenditures generally
are not what is called “productive.”
To put it another way, money that
goes into explosive shells does not
produce anything. Instead, it de
stroys not only life but other things
which cost money.
A tractor, for example, is produc
tive if it is used to plow and plant
a farm. The food it produces goes to
the general benefit. But if the trac
tor is covered with armor plate and
turned into a tank, it becomes a de
structive rather than a constructive
weapon.
Thus the present war like all oth
ers is proving a serious drain upon
every nation. It would appear that
most Americans now realize that
without, perhaps, having put it. into
those words. Certainly industry, as
its attitude is reflected through the
recent anti-war declaration of the
National Association of Manufactur
ers, realize it. American manufac
timers would a lot rather sell plows
than swords, for plows produce
(goods which a farmer can sell for

Confidential reports which have
just reached Washington tell a tra
gic story about the cost of war to
tiny, neutral Switzerland.
Perched high in the Alps and fac
ing belligerents on two sides, the
Swiss are w'ell aware that their fer
tile plateau and valley lands offer
one of _ the ,, , best , strategic ... military
routes around the Maginot Line and
the Siegfried West Wall. To avoid
offending any nation, and thus of
fering an excuse for invasion, they
have made neutrality almost a re
ligion.
They have carried this so far that
when their President recently visited
the frontier on an inspection tour
i he gave cigarettes to both the
French and German soldiers posted
0 n the border
But the neutrality is an armed
neutrality. The Swiss are determined
to defend their land against any in
vader. Consequently, their craftsmen
who are famed throughout the world
