Sales Costs and List Prices

The man selling the six thousand dollar
truck must be good salesman. His
hardest job is to justify his price to the
prospective buyer. He sells compare
lively few trucks through year. His
commission per truck must be high. The
list price of the six thousand dollar truck
includes that sales cost. Also it includes
the high overhead resulting from low
production. What proportion of the
price of the six thousand dollar truck is
margin? What proportion is value?
Bethlehem Motor Trucks are neither
overbuilt to justify price nor under
built to meet a price. They represent
the middle ground. That point where
quality and price combine in greatest
value. Bethlehem Motor Trucks are
ready to be judged as motor trucks
should be judged-on their ability to
transport and the cost of that trans
portation. Buy your Motor Truck on

government was obligated to nay tho

Appeal Carefully Debated

These issues were tested at. Indian
apOliS. The bringing of the courts back
into labor conflicts is one of the
extraordinary developments of the
present situation. 1t has not been done
without grave consideration. The party
that is doing it is the party that more
than once has denounced government
by injunction.
The cabinet made up of members of
.his party voted unanimously. after one
of the most solemn meetings of the
cabinet since war was declared. to ask
the court to cnjoin the strike. Sccrr-
tary Wilson. an OLD labor leader him,
self. voted with his associates to seek
an injunction. Attorney General raj
mcr. former anti injunction man. und
Il present candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency. urged
upon the cabinet this policy.
The influence upon the courts them
selves of going to the courts i'll Il pro
cceding. the main consequence OF which
will be moral. had to be carefully con
idcred. The habit Of thc courts of let
ting their injunction power be used in
labor disputes was one of the potent in b
fucnccs in causing the public discomfort
with the courts which led to PROPOSALS
for the recall OF decisions and for the
recall of the judges themselves.
Jnjunctions Past an Present
The cabinet felt. however, that the
present application for an injunction
"cstcd upon different basis than the
I'D use of the injunction in labor dis
putes. Old applications were made by
individuals. And there was certain
Justice in some instances in the charge
that the corporations which applied for
injunction had too much to say directly
or indirectly about the appointment OF
the judges themselves
What caused the old bitterness was
the fact the law appeared to br toe
much in the hands of the employ" cor
porations. They often employee hciI
special police to enforce the law. and
they went to courts where former cor
poratiou attorneys sat on the bench as
judges.
The situation is changed. The appli
cant for the injunction is the federal
government, as nearly fair and dispas
Sionate a factor as exists. And if in =
functions are granted organized labor
will blame not the courts so much as
the federal executive for their use. The
executive, being so much more powerful
and so much more responsible to public
opinion than the courts. will be held
responsible for using the courts. Under
the circumstances. it is not believed that
the issue of government by injunction
will be raised.
Lewis's Attack OH Wilson
In this connection it is to be noted
that Mr.. Lewis. the mine workers
leader attacks President Wilson as be-
ing under the influence of the corpora
tions. 1t is moral retort to moral
move. To destroy the influence of the
federal Intervention. it is necessary for
the organization leaders to create the
impression that it does not represent

,piltes between nations by safeguarding
action of the League, by arbitration
by mediation and accommodation OF
settlement. and by enforcement of
covenants restraining wa until three
months after such machinery for
peaceful settlement has failed. BY
Articles XVI and XVII a breach of
such covenants is to be penalized by
an immediate and universal boycott
lof the covenant breaking nation and
then by such military expenditions as
the members of the League shall de-
ltermine necessary ON the recon-
lmendation OF the Council. Unless.
therefore, the external aggression in
violation of Article X occurs three
months after attempts at peaceful
settlement under Articles XII to XIV
have failed so that the covenants of
those articles are not broken by 1t,
the penalizing provisions of Articles
XVI and XVII would apply to the
aggression. whether for the purpose
forbidden in Article X or not. In
other words, Article X only increases
the obligations of the members of
| the League beyond those of Article
XVI in respect of wars which do not
violate the covenants of Articles XII.
XIII or XIV. Article X becomes
practically important, therefore, only
after the purpose of the war has been
clearly disclosed. A war only for
punitive purposes without taking ter
ritory or overthrowing a government
would not violate Article X
We have seen this exemplified in
our construction of our own Monroe
Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine, as
Article X limited to the aggression of
non american nations against coun-
tries of the Western Hemisphere.
When Spain attacked Chill during Mr..
Stewards incumbercy as Secretary of
State and Chill called on the United
States to defend her, Mrs. Seward re-
I piled that our policy did not look to
our defending an American state
against any punitive war by a nom
american power, but only agains one
intended to take territory or to de-
stroy independence. Mr.. Roosevelt
| laid down the same limitation of the
Doctrine in the Venezuela case as to
wars begun merely to collect financial
obligations when they did not speak
deprivation of independence.
Modified BY Other Articles
The intervention of the League
under Article Y is, therefore, likely
to be invoked only in cases where
the victor in a war legal under
Articles XII. XIII and XIV, seeks to
Impose terms on its enemy CONTRARY
ITO the undertaking of Article Y. In
all other cases, resort to Article X
will be unnecessary because action
under it will have been anticipated
under other articles. Article y, there
fore. enlarges the scope of the OBJ
legations of the League much less than
has been generally assumed.
Second, should a violation of Arti-
Gle X occur. and the Council advise
a plan for fulfilling its obligation by
the members of the League. this plan
will have to be unanimously agreed
upon by the Council. We have con-
stantly one representative in the Coun-
ell, who must thus join in advising the
| plan. We can reasonably assume
therefore, that the plan recommended
will not involve us in military expe-
