PREFER PEACE 10 WAR

TNIIE patriotic ana high minded address of
l. Charles NJ. Schwab upon disarmament
ought to correct to some degree the thinking
of the pcor'c who have been insisting that
the manufacturers of war material would
fight every plan proposed to do away with
war.
Mr.. Schwab announced that he would
srraD lis great gun foundry at Bethlehem
in the interests of peace If it were necessary
No man he said, would lose more than he
if the building of batt'eships were stopped
but he hoped it would never be necessary to
build any more Of them. And he is in hearty
sympathy with the purposes of the WASH
inCton Conference.
Ebert II. Gary, of the United states
Steel Corporation, has expressed similar
views. not quite SO picturesQuely or appeal
inEly as Mr.. Schwab. But the content of his
remarks is the same.
There is n practical AS we'll as senti-
mental side to the question. 1t has been
discovered that war does not briu. pcrma-
nent prosperity to the steel business or 70
any other business Great profits were made
while the war lasted. But the business
fabric Of the whole word was torn TO shrcds.
Since peace was declared there has been
stagnation. The great sums spent for mu-
nItions have been blown into the air. They
have been taken from the industry of peace,
and that industry, deprived of its life blood,
has been struggling to recover. 1t is doubt
less capable of mathematical demonstration
that all the profits made during the war
have been consumed by the losses that have
come since peace was declared.
The railroads have not been abe to buy
steel rails Building projects that would
have used hundreds Of thousands of tons of
structural steel nave been postponed because
the price has been prohibitivcly high on
account of tho imitation Of the currency
brought about by the war and because the
Government has absorbed in war taxes the
surplus capital that would otherwise have
been used to buy structural steel and rail-
road rails and other products of the steel
mills.
Business has discovered. if it did NOT
know it before that war docs not pay. 1t
is wicked economic waste. The scrRpptng of
gun. manufacturing plants and the lose Of
| orders for armor- plato and steel for battle
ships may bring temporary loss to tho steel
| business. The superficial SCiolists who have
| been insisting that war is always made at
| the dictaton of the munition makers and
the capitalists may be surprised by the dis
covcry that these interests are willing TO
make whatever sacrifices may be necessary
| to bring about a reduction in the sums spent
| in preparation for future wars. The rest Of
| US will be delighted to know that these
powerful interests are aligned on the side OF
| international peace. It mny be that they
| are looking to the Surer and moro enduring
| profits of peace. but it is more complimentary
| to human nature to believe that they have
taken their present stand because they are
opposed to the wholesale destruction OF
human life, with its consequent bereavement
Of millions of families, and are willing to do
| what is within their power to end it.

How Did They Do 1t?

DO you ever wonder how the ancient folk got
along without the comforts and conveniences
Of today?
Without window-glass without tooth brush
es, without automobiles without soap, without
telephones breakfast foods, stoves, and virtu-
ally all the items we consider bare necessities of
life.
And have you ever wondered at the part
advertising has played in the worlds develop
ment? 1t has made and is making the world
better housed, better fed, better dressed. It has
increased the worlds capacity for things that
elevate, improve and idealize the important bus
mess of living. It is big, vital force in foster
ing convenient and comfortable life.
Home! Can you imagine your own empty
of advertised products?
Advertising is an authentic and essential
guide to the markets of the world. Without it's
direction you lose much, and overlook much.
Don't fail to read the advertisements you
find in this paper. Follow their guidance
