asked for free advertising or paid Tor
any advertising in the newspapers.
The great success of the loan he at
tributes in a very great degree to the
voluntary and patriotic work and ad-
vertising space periodically given free
to the Government.
While acknowledging the tremend-
Gus value of advertising the Secretary
points out that the relation of the
Government to the press and to the
public generally is such that the ques-
ton of paid advertising by it presents
a problem very much more complex
than it would be to a private enter
prise. The Government cannot use the
same thorough discrimination as to
the mediums it should use, but would
be Obliged to be thoroughly democra-
tic and impartial and the cost Of such
an undertaking would be very great
and would exceed the appropriation
available under the existing law.
The Secretary, however, states that
the matter is being very carefully con-
sidered, but a decision cannot be ar
rived at until a better knowledge is
had as to the cost of the campaign and
until the appropriation available for
the purpose has been settled by Con-
greSS.

THE GOVERNMENT AND PAID AID
NERTISING.

The question of whether the United
States government should engage in
a policy of paying for advertising in
the newspapers has been much agitat-
ed OF late, especially in regard to the
selling of Liberty Loan Bonds. This
being a strictly money matter the
question comes up more squarely in
connection with it than with registra-
ton, food conservation or other gov
ermental matters given publicity.
Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury
has issued a statement dealing with
this matter After referring to the
great amount of advertising patriot
+cally given to the Liberty Loan Bonds
i the first campaign by newspapers
. ! other advertising agencies, and
by banks and other concerns and by
individuals, the Secretary contradicts
the impression that the government

PROFIT GRABBING.

An Illinois coal operator, recently
sion. said that his company had been
able to get as much as $500 ton on
some of their coal that had cost them
only $500. He defended the price on
the ground that they could get it.
He argued that other people charge
all they can get, and that no lawyer
would do a piece of work for $500 II
he could get $4,000 for it.
This may be true, yet capitalists
should realize that if their industries
are to remain on a secure foundation
they must charge only reasonable
prices. The express companies a few
years age tried out this idea of charg-
ing all they could get. They were quite
defiant, and some of the companies
made very big money
The big profits created popular an
tagOnism. This resulted in the estab-
lishment OF parcel post Some Of the
companies went out of business, while
others with weeping and gnashing of
teeth accepted lower rates. If they
had charged reasonable rates III the
first place it is not likely that the gov
eminent would have ever bothered
to compete with them.
fair price is not determined by
finding out what the people will pay
for necessaries when driven by the
pressure OF monopoly or by other eX-
igency 1t is to be based on the cost
Of production, plus a reasonable in
terest on capital and compensation
for the brains and energy of the pro-
Queer. Few people would say that
price of $500 is fair return on a cost
of $500.
Corporations may be able to run on
that basis for time. They arouse the
hostility of the public. When they
want favors or encounter labor trou-
bles they will get little popular SYM

run to sell for reasonable compen-

Allies Spend Ten Million Daily Tim
America.

In an article about Edward R. Stet-
tinius, the biggest buyer in the world,
the September American Magazine
says:
! AN official statement made in the
British House of Commons revealed
that the Allies purchases in America
reached ten million dollars daily
Think of it! Of these purchases, a
figure without parallel in history, the
banking firm of ]. P. Morgan & Com
pany had to handle large share. In
no previous year had all the foreign
countries Of the world combined taken
any such quantity of American prod
ucts And on one man, Edward R.
Stettinius, a quiet unobtrusive, I'M
! trumpeted American citizen, fell the
burden of marshaling and managing
the practical non-financial end of the
task
After careful study says Mr..
Stettinius, we decidcu that in placing
war contracts we would have to be
guided less by the nature of any con-
Germs product than by the character
of the men at it's head. We figured
that the layout Of the plant, the de-
sign Of the buildings or the kind of
machinery in it was of minor impor-
lance to the degree of success that had
been exhibited in running it. In other
words, bricks and mortar, machines
and tools, were not what we went by,
but the brains that administered these
things.
Through the knowledge and eXper-
fence and ramifcations of those in
the Morgan firm, we had a good idea
Of who was who and what was what
through the manufacturing world We
knew the men who had demonstrated
unusual ability in different lines, and
we got into touch with them, no mat
ter what they were producing. Mean
while, we were selecting men to ne
gotiate for the purchase of the varied
materials that we were required to
purchase; and in three months had
perfected an organization.

SHALL WE ALL BLEED EACH
OTHER:

1t NAV be assumed as certain that
servatiOn and food administration pol
icy a great many people are going to
be dissatisfied The coal interests,
hard and soft, will probably grumble
to themselves, if not out loud, at the
price schedules, while on the other
hand, a good many consumers may be
disposed TO kick because they do
not get all the relief they expected.
The same thing promises to be true
with regard to the price OF wheat.
Farmers in the Northwest are sending
bullying messages to Mr. Hoover
through their Congressional repre-
sentatives, asserting that he is try
ing to deprive them of their just prof
it's, and claiming that they can make
no money at a lower figure than s. or
even $3.50 a bushel. And if they sue
coed in getting all they ask, the con-
Stunning masses of the city are pretty
sure to damn Mr.. Hoover for keeping
up the price Of bread.
1t is a situation in which it is i'm
possible to satisfy the extremists of
either the producing or the consuming
class What Mr.. Hoover said in reply
to the foolish and demagOgiC dis
patch of Representative Young, of
North Dakota, with regard to wheat
prices can be fairly applied to the
people of city and country alike with
respect to everything. My duty" says
Mr.. Hoover, is simply to see that the
farmer receives a fair price, whatever
that may be, and to see that the con-
sumner obtains his bread without the
speculative profits in between the far
mer and consumer which prevailed
over the first half of the year. assume
that the farmer no more wants to
bleed the consumer by obtaining more
than fair price than he wants to be
bled by the producers of other COM
modities, who are also being asked
to maintain fair prices"
The great struggle in which We are
engaged calls for sacrifice on the part
of everybody. 1t cannot be conducted
successfully if either producer or con-
Sumer is bent on bleeding the other
fellow Mr.. Hoover is proceeding on
the principle OF giving everybody
square deal and of preventing, as far
as possible, anybody from bleeding"
anybody else. All good Americans are
willing to bleed for their country, ac
tuaIly or figuratively, but none Of them
should be made to suffer unnecessarily
in order that others may prosper at
their expense. The consumer that
wants to beat the farmer or the mine
owner out of fair profits is an unWise
and as unpatriotic as the farmer Or
the mine owner who tries to make
him pay eXorbitant charges. The
bleeding" process on either side
must result in weakening the nation
materially and morally, and should
be cut out" henceforth by everybody.
The whole thing resolves itself into
d question of national cooperation
OF whether We love ourselves and our
own particular advantage more than
the welfare of the country.-Baltimore
