FORGET TIP. PROBABLY.

Well, it seems that after all our
worry about the distressing situation
created by the Volstead law and the
courts Interpretation of 1t and the
Treasury Departments ruling based
upon it, is quite needless. simple
way of avoiding friction with other
nations has been discovered. Just
forget it-that is all that is neces-
sary; let it the volstead law, remain
on the statute books let the court
decision stand and let the Treasury
departments ruling remain the order
of the day. still-just forget these
troubous DEGREES.
And the matter becomes even more
simple when one realizes that the
person who will have to do the for
getting" is President Harding. Prob
ably no more amiable person lives
this in addition to his other good
qualities. Probably he Is quite as
able as anyone to forget things that,
if remembered, would bring about a
distressing situation And since there
may be discretion used in enforcing
the law of this country forbidding
foreign ships to bring liquor into our
threee-mile limit, and since the
Treasury Department in which lies
the enforcement machinery, will
listen TO President Hardngs words
of forgetfulness, it seems quite likely
that the law as affecting foreign ships
will be forgotten, at least until Con-
gress has a chance TO fix things up
in the light Of the perplexities OF the /
present situation.
With stern sense of the responsible !
tiles Of their positions enforcement !
officials may decide that there is SO /
much to be done on land in enforcing /
the Law that they have not the time /
or means to look into the way for

that no foreign nation has questioned /
the legal right of the United States

MERCHANTS AND OTHERS

When a chap like Roger Babson
says something it is well to think
twice about it and see il his advice
affects us He has just told a lot Of
fellows who prepare advertising copy,
plan advertising campaigns and all
that, that several hundred thousand
retail merchants would be better off If
they were bricklayers and plasterers
because they are merely getting days
wages and small days wages at that
Now we don't know why Roger
limited his remarks to retail mer-
chants. Why didn't he say there were
several thousand lawyers, doctors,
manufacturers, newspapermen and
others who would be better off as
bricklayers and plasterers; and why
didn't he tell us that there were sew
eral thousand plasterers and bricklay-
ers who would be better off as lawyers,
doctors. newspaper men and manu-
facturers? OF course a deep thinker
like Roger-and we know from prac
tical experience that he does think
deeply and advise wisely--we know
that his mind works in mysterious
and wonderful way, and probably he
has his reasons for not making his
statement more comprehensive; per-
haps he was in a hurry to catch a |
train.
But anyway it's worth thinking

WORLD Listens in
ON RADIO PROGRAM
Biggest Audience in History in
Touch With Carnegie Hall

New York. June S.-The Creates
radio audience ever reached by 6
single program listened last night tc
speeches, songs and reports at the
meeting of the National Electric Light
association at Carnegie hall.
Every tone and accent was picked
|up by receiving instruments through
out Carnegie hall and sent over wires
leading to the New York station OF
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, to the station of the
General Electric company at Schen-
ectady and to the Westinghouse sta
|tions at Pittsburgh and Chicago.
These great stations shot far and
wide every word that was said and
levery note that was sounded at Car
'negie hall. 1t was probably literally
true that some of the things said
there last night were like the shot
at Lexington--were heard round the
world. 1t was confidently expected
that the proceedings would be heard
in every state, in Alaska, Canada and
Mexico, probably in Hawaii and Eng
land, and, possibly, over the roof Of
the world to Scandinavian countries
and Japan.
President Harding's Arlington
speech over the grave of the I'M
known soldier was broadcast from
different stations, but it was delivered
to a small area compared to last
nights program. The sound waves
collected at Carnegie Hall last night
weer magnifed several billion times
before they were flung out into space
from the four broadcasting stations
The radio world had been notified of
what was coming and it is probable
that the majority of them were at
their instruments, so that a census of
the listeners would probably have run
into seven figures. The 5000 or so
individuals in Carnegie Hall prob
ably composed not more than one
tenth of l per cent of the total audi
ence.
The probable future of the radio as
an electioneering or propaganda in
strument was suggested yesterday by
the fact that the main feature of the
program was a blast against govern
iiCht wv anu thCtS-
sive government regulation of pub
lie utilities by julius II. Barnes,
president of the chamber of com
merce of the United States.
While the main purpose of the
radio performance last night was to
direct public attention to the enor-
nous growth of the electrical indus
try in the last few years and to the |
prospect of its vast expansion, last |
nights feat of superbroadcasting in !
cidentaly served the purpose of an /
experiment to enable the radio COM |
panies to test the use of radio on a |
national scale in connection with the |
1924 campaign, when it is expected |
that the candidates for President and |
the leading speakers of both parties
will address the whole country at
onee by radio. The most intensive
speaking tour of any candidate for
President was that of William Jen-
nings Bryan in 1896. when the young
silver tongued commoner was esti-
mated to have addressed nearly
5, 100000 people. or about the num-
Der that a campaigner next year may
be able to address at once and the
same time.

there was a more definite, populai

Mr., Bedford declared he was fully
eogRizant that the government has
certain proper functions OF superN-
sion and regulation,
1T has the right 10 insist on ade.
quate publicity; It has the right to
prevent unfair trade practices: IL has
the right to prevent injustice. but its
functions Of regulation do not prop
erly extend TO the imposition OF the
business discretion OF government
officials against the Judgment Of those
experienced in the business. Nor do
they extend TO the right to impose
indirect conflscation OF property.
Governments should lay down the
rules which insure fair play and equal
opportunity in the conduct OF bust
ness, but they should not attempt to
direct the conduct of business itself.
