fulflment of the peace treaty, and to en-
able US in conjunction with our allies, to
influence a settlement in Europe, said
Mr.. Churchill, the total forces We pro-
pose to keep at our disposal are thus
approximately $50, 600 men. 1t was quite
impossible to get the forces required by
voluntary means before the peace treaty
was finally and definitely ratified, he de-
clared. Referring to a speech by a De-
putty who had attributed the situation in
Egypt to the military government of the
country, Mr.. Churchill remarked, that
whatever might be said, British soldiers
and British Generals were more in de-
mand in every country of the world as
law givers and pacifiers than the soldiers
of any other country. AS a matter of
fact, British rule, in which Egypt had
p~rospered SO enormously, he asserted,
never had been military but civilian. Of
course in time of war exceptional steps
had to be taken, but the country had been
administered through civilian authorities.
New York, April 1st.-Mr. Elihu
Root has declared himself an advocate

ornaments, by restricting to five years
the unanimous guaranty of the pre-
sent political and territorial status
of members and by protecting from
non-American interference the affairs
of the American Continents. He made
his approval contingent also upon amend
ments assuring periodic revision Of
international law and a general re-
drafting of the Covenant in an atmos-
phere removed by several years from the
issues attendant upon the settlement of
a world war. To-dispel doubt as to the
right of withdrawal from the League, he
favoured specific reservations of this pri-
vilege to any signatory coincldent with
or after the proposed redrafting confer
ence. If those changes could be made,
the former Secretary of State asserted it
would be The clear duty" of the United
States to enter in the League agreement
in keeping with what he termed the APP
parent general desire of the American
public that the country do its full share
toward the establishment of an effective
international organization to preserve the
peace of the world.
London, April 1st.-The preliminary
peace treaty will not be submitted to the
German delegates at Versailles, accord

On the ISSUE Of

Be No Compromise
ECCE GUAM BONUM

Copyright. 1919. by Frank crane)

"Of how many dwellings," writes George
Chasing, "can it be said that no word of
anger is ever heard beneath its roof, and
that no unkindly feeling ever exists be-
tween the inmates? Most mems experience
would seem to justify them in declaring
that, thruout the inhabited world, no such
house exists. ], knowing at all events OF
one, admit the possibility that there may
be more yet / feel that it is to hazard a
conjecture; cannot point with certainty to
any other instance. nor in all my secular life
q speak as one who has quilted the world
could have named single example"
This is not bitterness. Indeed, 1t see
to me that, cantankerous as we are BY
nature, the marvel is that we get along with
one another and have such long and happy
stretches of love and comradeship as we do.
Well and heartily let us sing: Ecce
Guam bonum quamque Jucundum habitarc
fratres in unumw Behold how good and
how pleasant a thing it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity!

It's the Speed Lever

There are economists standing who say that advers
ing is the cause for the increased cost of goods
This is not true
Advertising actually reduces the cost of goods
To dispense with advertising in order to reduce the COST
of goods would be like going back TO the foor ana ia
In threshing in order to reduce the cost of grain: .
Advertising is the time and effort saving device IN e
sale of goods the same power and machinery IN the
production of goods -, -
All goods including and unknown goods; would sell
themselves If given time enoughone satisfied customer
might tell another. -,
But time is an important factor in the cost of goods
CARRYING charges the of interest and rent from the
time of production to final sale. -.
The speed with which goods sold determines their
price in another larger than reducing the carrying
The faster stock of goods is sold the smaller the lower
the margin of profit the manufactures or merchant IS COM
PEELED to charge the consumer 81.
The profit from doing business Is not IN the large pro
on each sale but rather the number of profits from
sales. - r
Many small profits from each sale make one large profit
This principle is technically known as turnover. and
is number of times merchant sells his complete STOCK IN
4 year-turns the stock into money
Say for instance, candy store makes per cent net
profit only a dollar of sales
But say it turns sells the stock completely once week
50 times year is not this merchant making o. times
per cent, equaling 20s per cent annual profit?
II paradoxica that customer should pay only
oneha cent profit 10 cents worth of candy TO enable
the merchant make 20s per cent but will be
in considering the fact that the investment IN one weeks
supply only.
speed the sale of goods-increase the turnover
II they able to sell at less individual profit they are
thus able reduce the the market by making
the goods within the price range OF more persons
Advertising is the speed lever the high gear of sales
It is not only educational factor To and better
Goods but at lower price to the consumer by enabling the
product merchant live and prosper at lower margin
Of individual profit.
