Mussolini and
Liberty

Mussolini is of the opinion
that liberty" is back number.
If he means the liberty to drive
on either side of the street, or to
keep pigs in town. doubtless he
is right. Certain individualisms
that are natural where men dwell
far apart become impossible or
intolerable where they live close
together. And many things can
be left to themselves in a simple
society which have to be regu-
lated in a complex one.
But Mussolini means the demo-
cratic right of free people to
determine for themselves to
what government they will sub
nit, and what laws they will
have, he is badly mistaken.
The world has not yet out
grown the democratic ideal, even
if it is still far short of realizing

Distribution Waste

Standardization has been ap-
piled generally to production.
But we hesitate to apply that
economy to distribution.
For instance. There are just
three grades of certain canned
fruits.
Every can of each of these
grades is exactly like every 9th
er. Nobody's brand is any
better or any worse than any
other, except as some brands
stand for first and some for sec
ond or third grades. There is
no concealment which of these
any particular brand is.
Yet the very packers them
selves put out their goods I'M
der a dozen brands of their own,
ostensibly competing with them
selves, besides the scores of
customers private brands.
1t is supposed to help sell
ing" 1t certainly does not make
for saving lost motion in distri-
button generally, And some
body pays for it.

Competition Brings
Progress

Competition is the life of prog
ress.
The radio having cut into the
talking machine business, the
phonograph manufacturers had
to bestir themselves, to make
something better.
So one company announces a
mechanical and another an cleo
trical improvement, either OF
which, it is claimed, will make
sound reproduction perfect.
Thus we shall continue to
have two instruments, the radio
to bridge space, and the phono-
graph to bridge time.
You will never hear Caruso by
radio. nor Coolidge's speech,
while he is delivering it, on the
phonograph.
