RAPIDLY, who knows but men may
suddenly find a way to live on this
earth without cutting each others
threats in war.
President Coolidge, it is said,
will cut twenty-five millions a
year from the cost of the United
States army-a good idea. Sol
diers marching over the ground In
future war from the air will be
about as useful as so many rabbits
when eagles attack them.
The Presidents economy will
be twice as valuable if he will
arrange to spend the twenty-five
millions cut from the army on the
building of more flying machines.
Henry Ford will use United
States ships, if he gets them, to
take cars South and around into
the Gulf of Mexico and bring fruit
and vegetables back to the north.

coined by millions. 1t would help
to solve one problem of distri6u-
ton and develop the great produ-
cling regions of the South IS they

Terminal Head Gives Reason.
for Economic Success
Of Nation
BY CHARLES A. SMITH
international News Service

!. LONDON, Sept. 10 American
prosperity is due to the fact that
the American workman has at last
been brought face toe face with
economic facts, according to Irv-
ing r. Bush, president of the Bush
Terminal Company of New York,
who is. now visiting England in
connection with his business inter-
ests here.
American employers of labor now
pay their men wages compatible
with efficiency, according to Bush,
and not wages for the sake of
wages. This, in his opinion, is
vital for working men in every
country Of the world to under
stand.
Well Paid for Work
1.-The result is,' said Bush, that
when you are having your house
decorated the number of work
mems automobiles drawn up out
side the front entrance makes one
think that the lady of the house
is giving a social party. Men earn
high wages for good work, and the
result is that the American work
man is the highest paid workman
in the world.
I'VE have said to our great shop
leaders: Tell your men that it
is not a question of wages. but
Of the unit cost of production.
Tell them that when they begin to
work with less energy, for fewer
hours, they are actually operating
against their own interests. They
are not making employment; hey
are making unemployment because
their inactivity raises the cost of
production and hampers its sale
in q competitive market
America has found that by
taking its employees into its con-
fIdence in this manner the response
is remarkable. The wolkmen have
been brought face to face with
economic facts, and high wages
and increased production have been
the result.
His Vital Principles
II would lay down the follow
ing three principles as vital to
any country who wishes to survive
in the Industrial struggle of today:
''Workmen must realize that they
can only have their jobs if they
work to make the unit cost cheap
enough for their goods to have q
market.
Manufacturers must drop the
habit of getting along with any
old machinery 1t is their duty
The Washington times., 1925-09-19

to provide their employees with the
best tools and the best mechanical
appliances That is where in my
opinion the American business man
scores.
electrical transmission must be
so developed as to reduce the cost
of power to a minimum.

these principals it will always have

tribute ito the work of Admiral
Benson, told the laymen of the
need of the council to organize
the 10 per cent of Catholic men

to any organization connected with
their church.
He stated it would be his aim 20
get the assistance of the now ex-
listing bodies and we'd their
thoughts into one.
Furthermore, President Johnson
stated. il was essential that one
central organization should serve
as the voice of the Catholic laitv
of the United States.
