NEED FOR REAL COOPERATION.

In calling attention to the part the American
government is playing in the control of indus
tries, James Rattray, of the Guaranty Trust
company, of New York City, has pointed out
the need for real cooperation between the gov
eminent and business For years this need has
been recognized by men of power and Influence
in the work of business and industrial develop
ment, but recognition was withheld by the gov
eminent until the war emphasized the vital I'M
portance of an increase in efficiency.
Since the war began the government has laid
a heavy hand industry, but there will be a
measure of compensation if after the return of
peace the control now exercised develops into
hearty cooperation. In Great Britain the con-
troll of industries has passed through three
phases: The first, period in which the gov
eminent took Only necessary self-protective
measures; the second, period of regulation to
secure reasonable prices for goods purchased
for the government, and the third, one of strict
government control of production, distribution
and consumption of all commodities. Complete
control has not been assumed in this country
except in the case of ships and railroads, but
the president has the power to exercise it il
resnect to wire communication. There is stric
regulation of many industries, and Mr.. Rattra!
saws that to obtain the highest degree of eff
ficiency in production it is possible that statu
tory cooperation similar to Great Britain
will be necessary
However this may be- it is certain that CT
operative effort is necessary now to win tn

war. Such effort should not be less help1ul u
securing trade in world markets after the war,
but then it must be friendly and voluntary, not
compulsory The war found the government
at Washington behind some foreign govern
ments in its understanding Of business needs.
If perception has been quickened, cooperation
between the government and business may rank
as one of the most important by-products OF
the war

of nature would have created-or dis
covered-them all for himself Such
beings are not conscious poetic IND

does some of us no great harm to
think. Others for whom trees and
forests are so much mber-"only
that and nothing more"-are, Of
course, welcome to their dreary opin
ion, and they, doubtless. have then
reward.
But, indeed, whether as objects o.
use or Of worship, or OF esthetic en-
joyment, trees are more closely bount
up with the life of man than anything
else in nature; and it is, therefore

ACTION UNDER A SOUND LAW

For years American manufacturers and ex-
porters protested in vain against a government
al attitude which placed them at disadvantage
in competition for foreign trade. There was a
difference of professional opinion as to whether
the Sherman law prohibited combinations to
promote commerce abroad, but the attitude Of
the federal department of justice did not give
assurance of freedom to combine without the
risk of prosecution. The fact that this freedom
was enjoyed in other commercial countries
made little impression at Washington. Finally,
the Webb bill permitting manufacturers to
join forces for the development of foreign mar
kets was introduced in congress and 1t became
a law short time ago. There had been long
delay covering more than one congress session,
but the lawmakers finally yielded to the de-
mands of businessmen. Now, for the first time,
American manufacturers have formed COM
bination to develop foreign trade. Forty-four
manufacturers with domestic trade amounting
to one hundred million dollars year have au-
thorized the Allied Industries corporation to
send agents to Central and South America,
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, and some
other parts of the world to introduce their
goods. The Webb bill permits action which
should have been permitted a matter OF
course and without legislation. Perhaps 1t IS
not too much to hope that the government hay-
ing yielded one point in the interest OF business
freedom, will yield others.
Evidence lately unearthed confirms the be-
lief long held that pro-Germans III this country
invested largely in Prusslan securities and that
the money, which probably amounted to one
hundred million dollars, was the seemingly ex-
haustless slush fund the miscreant ambassador
Bernstorff poured out like water in fomenting
strikes and financing attacks on industries and
ships It is established that the Busch family,
made rich in the brewing industry by fve-cent
pieces of Americans, bought at least a half mil
lion dollars worth of these bonds, and some of
the money was used in buying the New York
Mail and in suborning other papers whose
columns were for SALE Happily these invest
ments will be a total loss. The bonds are alb
soluteIy worthless, and there is pleasing pros
pect that certain of the inner ring conspirators
face long terms behind prison bars.

for the soldiers is full size larger, on an aver
age, than heretofore. We imagine that to the

six times larger than they expected.

a non essential industry or occupation. It all
depends upon the needs of the war. Everything
is non-essential that stands in the way of sue

tract for $50 tons OF river coal for

tract on condition that each load of
coal. before delivery, will be inspect

consumption had increased from 3.65
tons daily to more than fivs tons. 1t
was estimated. however. that by

ACME STORE SHUT
TWO WEEKS; SOLD
TOO MUCH SUGAR
Irregularities of Others Who
Disobey Food Rulings to
Be Investigated

The grocery store of the Acme
Tea Company. located at IO1 South
Second street, was this morning or
dered closed for two weeks by Dom
aid Mccormick. Dauphin county
food administrator. for selling sugar
without complying with the sugar
regulations of the Federal Food Ad-
ministration. The closing order is
effective from July "a to August 6.
inclusive.
]. Clyde Myton, of the Dauphin
county administration. was the prin-
Cipal witness against the store, de-
clarinS that he purchased sugar at
the store in excess of the amount al
lowed one consumer. and without
being questioned as to the amount
he had on hand, which was against
the food regulations.
4 representative OF the food ad-
ministra ton last week called on all
OF the Acme Tea Company stores
located within the city, and reported
to-day that with but three eNcep-
tons all the stores failed to fully
observe the regulations. The viola
tion of the regulations was most flag
rant at the South Second street store,
so it was the one the food admin
istrator descended upon.
Clerks Are Blamed
Declaring that he had heard re-
peated complaints against the Acme
stores, and that he had checked
them up and made 4 record of them,
Mr.. Mccormick informed c. A. Bos-
well. district manager of the Acme
Tea Company, that he was operating
the stores without regard TO the
position of the patriotic managers,
and without regard to the sugar sit
uation in the country Mr.. Boswell
gave the carelessness of clerks as
the reason for the violations.
Other irregularities of grocers
will be investigated by the food ad-
administration. Ii was said at the
office of the food administration this
morning that irregularities and un-
truths in the sugar statments made
out the first part of this month by
some srocers when securing their
sugar purchase certificates are sus-
pecUed to be common. and will be in
veStisated and prosecuted.
