full meal. I take constant exercise and diet carefuny.
Lately. however, Milt's weight has scared nearly to loo
mounds. Carpenters had to be called in with thinner boards.
It amazes you to learn that the worlds smallest store does
a business of $25OyOOO a year-thin watches, diamonds and
other precious stones. u
Milt has an assistant. But they have to work IN relays,
for if the two Of them are on the job at the same time there
is no room for a customer. -.
Only one customer can get into the store at a time. Fat
men have tried to enter, then decided to do business from
the sidewalk.
The rent for this little cubby-hole is $4,000 a year! 1t is
said TO be the highest rent in the world, in proportion to space
occupied.
MAYBE Milton Lubin is making a lot of money out Of his
store. We DOM know. But we do know that, to any one low
inc the natural life Of the great outdoors, it would take a good
many millions to compensate for the physical dlscomforts OF
working in such a small cage.
Still. with city congestion steadily becoming worse. it is
entirely plausible that this smallest store in the world is a
prophetic sample of what metropolitan life will be for most
people in a few more generations.

SO rapidly within Germany. This
means that Germany has enjoyed
foreign trade for another fictitious
reason. Foreign buyers Of German
goods could with a small amoun Oh
their own money, pay substantial
sums in marks. The marks are
worth more in Germany than any
where else. Therefore it has been
desirable for foreigners to buy Ger
man goods and desirable for Ger
man industries to continue this
trade. But it Is impossible to main
tain a one-way trade. Germany
must buy as we'll as sell and in buy
ing the tables are turned. While
the declining mark favors sales OF
German goods, it makes it more and
more expensive for Germany to buy.
The process still is going on but
1t shows signs OF. the inevitable ex-
ploson which will bring a sorry end
to the whole cycle. This collapse
will drive Germany out of the
worlds markets, in the opinion OF
the government experts. She will
be unable to re-enter until she passes
through a trying period of deiation
and readjustment which will bank
rupt thousands. She has no finan-
cial strength to withstand the shock.
1t is obvious that no n in Ger
many is saving money for saving
appears to be the most Grant folly.
If a man has 10 marks which by to-
morrow will have the purchasing
power of only 8, because of the pro-
gressive depreciation, he has no in
ducement to save. Instead, he is
eager to urn his 10 marks into some
tangible article while he can.
1t is reported that some Germans
have bought as many as 20 over
coats, suits of clothes. and other
similar commodities for the purpose
of getting rid of their marks before
they ~depreciate. The life savings
in marks of pre-war workmen would
not support him for a month. per-
haps not a week, under existing con-
ditions of deprecated currency and
high commodity prices.
While Germany is working hard
to restore her prestige in the for
eign markets. the American govern
ment experts r convinced that
American manufacturers need not
fear competition based on SO flimsy
and insecure a foundation. The Geo.
nomic collapse must come and when
1t does the German cost of produce
ton will leap up to its actual eco
nomic level. unobscured by gov
eminent subsidies. This will give
the steady American industries the
advantage, and they will in all prob
ability be in a position to undersell
Germany on every hand. For not
only must Germany return to normal
levels but probably must go above
them for a period because the ar
a must in some way be made
up. Economic law is inexorable. 1t
cannot be evaded. The burden of
full cost of production can be lifted
from a commodity by such artificial
means as Germany has employed
and carried for a temporary period.
but sooner or later its full weight
must sag down again. The weight
In an economic, national sense, must
be so great as to equalize and make
up the arrears, before a normal level
of cost can be reached again.

"RIoHr OR WRONG, MY COUNTRY"

A mistake made by mine and rail strikers alike is their
refusal to recognize that public rights are involved in their
respective quarrels. They profess to believe that the points
at issue concern nobody but themselves and their EMPLOYERS.
They need to learn that the serving of public interests does
not IN any way sacrifice their own interests and that it comes
before their own.
Furthermore, safeguarding public rights requires i'm
partial investigation and judgment. 1t is only through such
impartial study Of points at issue that a thoroughly fair solu-
ton can be effected, and nothing but a fair solution will be
in any way permanent.
The umpire at a ball game makes decisions now adverse
70 one side, now to the other. If his decisions are obviously
UNFAIR ne may be replaced in future games by a better UNI
pire. But while he is in authority his word is law. Other
wise there would be no game.
IN the case Of the railroad shipments strike. the UNI
pire, who, in this case, is the United States Railroad Labor
Board, decided in favor of a reduction in wages. This deci-
sion was reached after hearing both sides in the matter.
Instead Of abiding by the decision, however, the shopmen
threw down their bats and walked off the field refusing to
continue the game all because the decision was not in their
favor.
What would these same men say if a baseball team
acted like that when the umpire's decision was adverse to
them? In other words, the opinion the public gets of the
unions attitude is that they are willing to play the game as
long as the decisions are in their favor, but refuse to play
the minute the decision is against them. OF course, now,
the shipments union is merely fighting to have the men
taken back in their old positions on the terms as first laid
down by the labor board with the understanding that they
Will be given a rehearing. But, in the meantime, the places
OF many OF these men have been filled and not only the rail-
roads, but the United States labor board as we'll, have guar
anteed to protect these men who are at work and who have
made it possible for the companies to keep their trains in
operation thereby serving the public.
Besides, even after a rehearing who is to guarantee
that the unions will abide by the decision should the verdict
again go against them? By refusing to accept the decision
Of the umpire, especially when the umpire is a representa-
tive OF the United States government, the confidence of the
public has been lost. When the American people can no
longer support their government, abide by its decisions and
respect its representatives then, indeed, is this great repub-
lie on the road to ruin. One of Americas patriots is quoted
AZ saying, Fright or Wrong, My Country It is a little more
Of this same spirit that we need today if this nation is not to
perish from the earth.

OSTRICH OR

One of the speakers at the Williamstown Institute of
Politics last week likened the United States to an ostrich
hiding its head in the sand to trick itself into the belief that
il could escape the menace of European conditions.
Scientists now tell us that real ostriches do not stick
their heads in the sand when in danger. That is fiction
pure and simple. Let us hope this true also of Americas
attitude, for as Mr.. Warburg says: whether we play the
ostrich or not, our international finance and trade relations
are such that we cannot possibly avoid being deeply involved

The mWOMEN'S VOTE"

With the holding of primaries and the looming of cleo
tons, conversation on the subject of the 'women's VOTE
grows, Yet it is probable that most women will vote as citi-
xens and not as women, in spite of political %flapdoodle to the
contrary.
man seeking nomination as governor of one state was
asked whether he intended to make any special play for the
feminine vote. His reply is interesting:
"Why no. Women are people. I've never discovered
any particular difference between women and men, except
that women have a somewhat keener snse of what they
want. They're more decided in their views. I propose to
put my case before the people as a whole as completely as l
can, and make an intelligent campaign. And I believe the
women will respond as readily as men,
This is the ideal attitude toward woman as a voter.
When q woman takes her ballot in her hand it is as a citizen,
not as a member of a particular sex.
Women are fitting themselves by careful study of is
sues and candidates to vote intelligently. They want plat
forms which decent citizens can support, and when they
find them they will support them. The wise candidate will
bear this in mind.
