general turbulence preceding the death of the
president. Four were killed and more than 100
wounded in the rioting which followed the cleo
ton of Narutowicz. There were scores of poten-
tial assassins in Warsaw and the artist who
shot the president the first to reach him.
Reactionaries in that country are following
the example of the monarchist groups in Germa-
ny and other countries. To check the progress
of democratic ideas in government, they are re-
sorting to assassinations and terrorism. They
have lost control of the government and are try
ing to thwart the will of the people by political
assassinations. Poland will never be able to
realize her ambitions unless her people learn that
constitutional government will not prosper I'M
less there is respect for law and the application
of lawful methods in removing Objectionable
officials.
The assassination of the first president of
Poland is one incident in long array of political
murders in Europe. Outstanding leaders in
many countries have been ruthlessly cut down
by persons, probably representing dissatisfied
cliques and parties. All of this is contributing
to the general unrest of Europe and postponing
the day of tranquility and normally.

More Business Methods in Govt.

true. There can be no doubt about
conducted by Uncle Sam, and there
have been SO many revelations as to
the wasteful and inefficient manner
in which he does business that othing
of that sort shocks anybody any more.
1t is all the more interesting, accord
ingly, to learn that something has act
ually been accomplished in the way of
injecting real business methods into
Government affairs.
One such step in that direction was
the creation of a Federal Specifica-
tons Board with DR.. S. w. Stratton,
head of the Bureau Of Standards, as
chairman, and now second has been
taken through the appointment by the

Standardization Difficult
| This has meant that an individual

Again The Assassin

A constitution is not the only requisite for
a republic. A basic law may clearly define the
rights of the people, but if the people do not
have the spirit of republicanism in their hearts,
the constitution is only scrap of paper.
Poland has constitution and the form of re-
publican government, but. seemingly its people
lack the spirit necessary to translate the docu-
ment into practice.
A president, recently elected was shot and
killed by an assassin on the third day of his adj
ministration. There is an element of comfort
in the fact that the assassin is declared to be
demented but this circumstance is offset by the

will be revised at intervals of about
one year.
The specifications which have al
ready been submitted to the American
Egineering Standards committee I'M
der the new cooperative arrangement
cover the following: Hose for various
industrial purposes, wood screws, ster-
liking equipment, cotton duck, phos-
phor tin, silicon copper and pig lead.
1t is the unanimous opinion of Fed
eral officials and the officers of the
American Engineering Standards COM
nliNee that this cooperation between
manufacturing industries, the govern
ment and other consumers will result
in widening of the source of supply
for all government requirements and
J in important economies not only to
! the government but to other consum-
/ ers of those products which are also
required by the government depart
ments. 1t is expected that this saving
will amount to many millions of dol
lars each year.
! The first thing that Standardization
does, according to P. G. Agnew, sec.
rotary of the American Engineering
Standards committee, is to enable
buyer and seller to speak the same
| language and to make it possible to
compel competitive sellers to do like
wise. In thus placing tenders on an
easily comparable basis, fairness in
competition is promoted both in do
nestle and in foreign trade.
Mass production is made possible
with the result that unit costs to the
/ J~rr II
carrying stocks is simplified which
makes deliveries quicker. The big
idea is to save money for the govern
ment, which benefits everybody, and
at the same time make possible better
products in all lines of industry, which
will be to the advantage of all con
sumers, public and private.
The work of the Stratton board in
cooperation with the representative
of the American Engineering Stand
ards committee is directly in line witt
the drive for the elimination of wastes
in industry and may be said to be &
part of it. 1t all goes to show thai
