BUSINESS

1t is the opinion of Edward n. Hurley,
former chairman of the shipping board,
that American business men. particularly
the men at the head of concerns, are not
working hard enough. He says they
spend too much time playing golf and
attending national conventions, and too
little time at their desks. There is a
good deal of truth in it. Business men
in general have been taking things easier
the last couple of years. There has been
much talk about wOrkmen Stacking, but
perhaps employers and high-salaried Office
men have been Stacking just as much.
1t has been natural enough. 1t was a
part of the general letting down that
followed the intensity of the war period.
Still more was it the result of too much
prosperity. With an Unsuitable market,
competition disappeared. Manufacture
ers and merchants no longer had to
compete as of old to sell their goods.
and workmen did not have to compete
to hold their jobs. The art of salesman
ship waned, just as did expert workman
ship.
Fortunately the present times are
changing this. Just as workmen are
now obliged to work efficiently to hold
their jobs. statesmen and merchants and
manufacturers are obliged to get back to
a competitive basis-which means a basis
of eficiency-in order to market their
wares. Any man. big or little, who ig-
nOres the demands of his own job is
going to lose put. This putting every
man on his mettle is the most hopeful
phase of the business slump and the sur
promise of renewed prosperity.

RARS0N ON FARMING.

Roger BabsOn in a recent barometer
letter asserts that the farmer is much
better off now than he was before the
war. and that his present anxiety is
largely due to the fact that he is doing
his figuring on the wrong basis. The
tendency of the farmer is TO figure his
cost of production on the recent fancy
land values. No business man does
that. says Mr.. BabsOn. He figures his
capital on a basis of the actual sum in
vested. If the farmer will adopt this
basis for figuring his costs "he can make
money farming, at moderate prices, pro-
vided he works, and doesn't spend most
of his spare time riding around in auto
mobiles"
The farmers who are holding their
crops are also advised to sell them
promptly. clear off their spasonable debts
and clear the banks of all but mortgage
loans Should they fail 70 do this they
are likely to reach a point where all
will be compelled to throw their product
on the market at the same time.
Mr.. Babson concludes THE wealth of
the country depends upon the NUMBER OF
bushels raised and not upon the price
per bushel. Let us look to all these
bushels and rejoice. Let the farmer re-
turn to raising diversified crops, feeding
cattle. raising hogs, leading a normal
farmers life, and keeping out of specu-
%lation.''
1t sounds like wholesome reasoning.
Legislative efforts to relieve the farmer
have not accomplished much up to date.
His coming costs of operation will not
be as high as those of the immediate
past. If by working and selling at mod
crate prices he can insure a fair interest
on the actual amount of his investment
he is as we'll off as the average business
man.

poses be a fratricidal conflict. War be
tween England and the United States
would be a horrible thing in the on
crete because it would mean a finish
fight between nations of great staying
powers and resources.
Such a war would reach the height of
its horror right here in Vermont, with
out any doubt, for we are the frontier
between Britain and this country. In
past struggles between the two nations
the Champlain valley has been a cock
pit. There is no reason to believe that
1t would not become one again.
One cannot look forward with any
thing but shrinking to the picture of
armies surging back and forth over our
| state, nor to air raids and lake raids.
all combining to deal death and destruc-
ton. Memory of what it means TO be in
the battle zone Is too fresh in the minds
OF all OF us from what we nave read of
the European conflict to give to the pic
ture any of the romance and Splendor
OF war as 1t was once conceived to be.
This Is not a counsel of fear. by any
means. If war were necessary Vermont
would not shrink from il but would meet
1T in the spirit of patriotic S~clf-abnega-
ton. 1t is. however. a counsel of pTu-
dence. for an unnecessary war would be
a calamity beyond all reckoning. Yer
mont has no desire to- be turned into
a TO satisfy the jingoism of
some needless inccndiaries.
30 1t is that N~crmontcrs should re.
frain from any thoughtIess agitation
against Britain. If we mind our business
there is practically no chance of hostiI-
tiles. England has been goaded time
and time again by American demagogueS
but has kept her head. She has put up
with more injurious and insulting prop
uganda carried on in this country during
the past We years than America prob.
ably would have put up with had the
tables been turned.
50 tar as another British war is con-
cerned, we have more to fear from our
selves through the activities of those who
a leave their European sympathips
at home than we have from England.
Let Nermonters do what they can tn
soften the fierce and unreasoned passion

ers, for we nave a vital pcrSonoI intcr.

vented in all honor. "'
