Toland Will Shows Peace Through Industry Volunteering
The will of Ben Toland, a World War II Marine who died at Iwo Jima, distributes assets to church five percent and a charity, Yale University and St. Paul’s, the National Association of Manufacturers, and labor groups, reflecting a belief in industrial peace and public welfare. The document, likely written at Christmas, expresses hope for American liberty, free enterprise, and the country’s future, with 60 percent left to peace and 20 percent to Congress and 20 percent to manufacturers.
