The executives behind the mys.
terious Mellon.dominated Alu.
minum Company of America have
evolved a new philosophy of COM
petition.
The company Is virtually free
OF composition in the aluminium
neld, ana although aluminium com.
petes directly with iron, steel, cop
per, BRASS. tin, zinc and with
Woou' aluminium more permanently
competes with certain elementary
forces and physical and chemical
9cuoas, namely, gravity, inertia
SorroAon. electrical resistance and
neat absorption. Realization of
tnis new type Of competition ac-
counts for the great emphasis
which the company places on
scientific research.
Basic Research
Where we compete with these
forces and physical and chemical
actions" high official Of the
company revealed, in the Maga-
zine Of Business, limited, of
course, by strength and basic
price Of the metal. We expect to
develop our major markets. We
are centering our attention and
research. not on other metals or
materials, but ON efficiently
meeting these fundamental forces
OF competition, OF trying TO fit
aluminium into Industry and the
life OF the world only where the
inherent qualities of the metal
render It economical or pecuIiarly
suitable for service.
Undoubtedly. we shall soon
supply high-strength aluminium
alloys for railway cars, and II
skyScrapers continue to rise to
greater heights we shall probably
0e called upon to supply struc-
tural aluminium for roofs and
towers and cupOIas. By relating
aluminium to elementary forces,
and centering our research and
promotion program upon them,
we are making phenomenal
progress and we see a tremendous
future for the business"
New Competition
This viewpoint is sympathetic
OF new and more scholarly lead
ership in American business. In
the old days the main objective
was to get business from other
competing concerns. The newer
competition was among various
commodities which were capable of
rendering similar service. The
newest competition is between
mans ingenuity in the laboratory
and the elementary forces of ma.
ture. Big business is thus helping
men to overcome the blind influ-
enceS of nature.

Few of his contemporaries throughout

Williams Tells How
II. S. Will Aid Farmer

From the Atlanta Journal.
The Georgia visit of Carl williams, the
representative Of the cotton growers on
the Federal Farm Board, is avowedly
for threefold purpose: To ascertain
what beneflt the farmers Of the State
have gained from the recent 16-cent
loan plan: to Sound the sentiment"
of the farmers toward the farm boards
general program, and to study the work
OF the Georgia Cooperative Association,
and devise means Of enhancing its oper-
ations. There is further purpose
served, we believe, by this visit, which
may be more important than the an
nounced aims. Mr. williams, talking
with straightforward clarity Of the
boards plans and of the part assigned
to the individual farmer In forwarding
the broad scheme of agricultural bene-
f1t, actually crystallizes the farm board
as working unit for the first time
in the minds of thousands of people
who can profit from this understanding.
There is no blinking the fact that some
little general SkepticiSm greeted the
farm boards creation. It seemed
vague and far-off agency for the relief
Of immediate, local ills. Much Of this
doubt was diSpelled by the boards
prompt announcement that almost one
nth of its working capital was avail
able for cotton loans, and what doubt is
left viii be routed by just such personal
appearances as Mr.. williams has made,
and just such words Of common sense
and equity as he has uttered here. The
board makes no pretenSe OF being
Omnipotent. It has no sovereign cure
for every agricultural Ill that can be
cited in every county Of the Union.
But 1t has commercially attacked the
jor ailments first of all, and Of these
it has turned particular attention upon
the cotton situation.
Naturally, the board asks for the
cooperation of the cotton South in its
efforts to bring stability into cotton
marketing. Its dealings must be prin-
cipally with cooperative associations,
though so far as possible 1t will watch
all loans even to the last small diver
sion to private growers, and seek to
harmonize the entire operation.
Chiefly, the board asks the farmers to
align themselves with an association
through which assistance can legally
be offered. "Whst chance have $780,
900 individual cotton farmers SgSjuSt
10000 buyers of cotton?" That question
posed by Mr.. Williams stands as
forceful argument for cooperation. IN
Its dealings to date, the board has
proved uniform good faith and gen.
uine desire to serve. In return 1t asks,
reasonably. We think, for fair oppor-
tunity to serve.

World Bank-League
Union Held Unwise
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
The organizing committee of the
Bank for International Settlements has
been urged from many quarters to link
the bank with the League OF Nations.
Such union may seem logical, oat 1T
-fhe present time it Wouic not De ex-
pedient. The Hoover ndmiEisLration
has manifested no little hostility toward
some features Of the Young plan, and
1t appears to be especially distrustful of
the proposed International Bank, which
Is to function under this plan. It has
already initiated negotiations with Ger
many for the payment OF the American
quota OF reparations directly to the
United States without the intervention
of the bank.
To link the Bank Of International
Settlements with the League would
give the administration another reason
for maintaining its aloofness, and IL
would also stir up opposition both to
the bank and the Young plan among
the irreconcilables in Congress. The
organizing committee, therefore, has
wisely decided to establish tie bark
without any League afnliationS, ana te
leave its management in the hands Of
the central banks of the participating
countries, with such unofficial partici-
patton by the United States as was
ConGemplaVeo unQer the 1oung pan.
At the same time, however, the COM
mittee has not locked the door against
an eventual change in the banks man
agement. 1t has provided that, with
the unanimous approval Of the govern
ments concerned, the administration of
the bank can be shifted and its author
ity be derived from an International
source. Such fiexibility in the basic
statutes of the bank Is desirable. It
may mean much or 1t may mean little
that depends on developments in
coming years. but the arrangement is a
wise solution of q delicate problem.

The earliest Christians put no little

U. S. Railways Retire
5. l4O.Mile.LOng Train
Prom the Rock Island Argus.

Prom the Rock Island Argus.
A railroad train s, ,14O miles long could
be made of the equipment retired from
service by the class / railways OF the
United States in the last seven years,
while the new locomotives, freight cars
| and passenger train cars installed in
service by these roads in the same
period would make train 7,342 miles
in length. These calculations are made
from figures of equipment retirements'
, and installations appearing in Railroad
Facts No. a." the final 1929 edition of
the annual railway year book issued by
the Western railways committee on
public relations.
Included in this 7,s42-mile train of
new equipment would be 237 miles of
locomotives, 6,S51 miles of freight cars
and 254 miles of passenger train cars.
This train would reach, in straight lines,
from New York to Jacksonville, Fla,
then to Los Angeles, to Seattle, to New
Orleans and back to Boston. When the
| first engine reached Boston, after COW
ering the above route, the last Car would
be just leaving New York, and at an
average speed of 80 miles an hour, it
would take 10 days to pass q given
point.
That this new equipment installed
Is much larger and more powerful than
the old and obsolete equipment retired
Is SHOWN Dy the IacL GnaC from 1SZl
to 1928 the power of the average loco
motive in service was increased almost
20 per cent, while the carrying capacity
Of the average freight car was raised
almost per cent.
Besides the foregoing, the year book
contains sections on the railway plant,
service, rates, earnings, employees and
on. the increases in efficiency and
economy of railway operation that have
been made in recent years. 1t is af-
flrmed that the greatest railroad
achievement in the last two decades
has been the increase made in safety
of operation. Since 1907, the worst
year on record for railway accidents,
remarkable Improvements in safety have
been made. The number of passengers
killed declined from 61O in 1907 to 81
In 1928. In 1907 the railways carried
l $4,000 passengers for each one that
was killed; In 1923 they carried $685.
600 passengers for each one that was
killed
1t is noted, however, that grade-
crossing accidents have shown a marked
increase in spite Of the elimination of
many crossings, fact due partially to
the increasing number of automobiles
in use, but also to the fact that public
authorities, which should be endeavorinR
to reduce the number OF accidents. are
building new highway grade crossings
each year."
