Blessed Are the Askers
BY BRUCE BARTON

H/HEN I was younger I used
w to look at the giant cor
porationS of the country with
awe.
I thought: "How wonderful
to be president of such a world
wide business. Millions of cap
ital and surplus in the treas
ury; great plants which are
turning out a stream of prod
ucts; the highest-priced ex-
perts in every line to do the
work! All the president has
to do is to sit in a nice big
office and watch the wheels go
round"
When came closer to those
giant corporations I promptly
revised my ideas.
For instance:
I happened to be in the
office Of the chairman Of the
board of one of the biggest
businesses of its kind. The
telephone rang. On the other
end Of the wire was the preSi-
dent Of a railroad.
Said the railroad man to his
friend the manufacturer: "You
have a subsidiary company in
our territory. It's total freight
bill is only a few thousands of
dollars a year, but we want
that business. Can we have
it?"
A few days later I called on
a manufacturer of building
materials. The presidents sec
rotary said: THE boss wants
to see you, but he had to go
out suddenly. He has just

to indicate that the European nations

heard that So and So (naming
a banker) is going to build a
new house, so he jumped in his
car and went down to see II he
could get the order"
I called at my bank. The
president was not in his office.
His assistant reported that he
had gone QUITO solicit a new
account.
A friend of mine who Is In
a tough business has had q
very good year in spite of the
depression. A competitor asked
him: How in the world do
you get so many orderS?" To
which my friend replied
simply: "By going out and ask
ing for them"
Whether a business be big or
small, local or international,
makes little difference. If it is
to keep going it must have
orders. And there isn't any
president or chairman of the
board so famous or so rich that
he isn't after orders every
single day!
Conditions have been sub
normal now for a long time,
not only here but all over the
world. Many predictions have
been uttered; many remedies
proposed.
My own suggestion for i'm
proving things is very simple:
Let's all quit talking about
how bad times are.
Let's go out and ask for
orders.

BRITISH COMMONWEALTH OF
NATTONS.-The Imperial Conference
now In session in London Is scheduled
to end by November IA.
The committee of the conference con-
sidering the matter has approved the
proposal of an empire high court 10
arbitrate matters in dispute between
different members Of the British Com
monWealth of Nations.
The tribunal would not be a perma-
nent one but would be constituted
afresh as each new occasion might
arise. Submission thereto would be
voluntary but, it's arbitration having
been agreed to, the decision would be
binding. There would be five members,
two to be appointed by each party. the
fifth by those four. All must be citizens
of the Commonwealth. The new court
would deal only with disputes between
governments, the privy council remain
ing the court Of last resort for indtvtd-
uals of the Commonwealth. Without
question the conference in plenary ses-
sion will approve the committees report.
The governments education bill has
been carried through its second reading
in the House of Commons. It would
increase the total of school children by
100000. Sir Charles Trevelyan, minis
| ter of education, figures on consequent
release of 100000 jobs to older children
and adults; of course, maintenance
grants for needy families are involved,
and on this head the Conservatives are
bitterly hostile.
On November 4, Lloyd George pub
lished the proposals toward reduction

urging on the Labor government. A
grand feature is a government loan OF

should be expended on public works to

After the World War there was q
general belief that this system of re-

ended so disastrously had gone for
ever The idea of the League of Ma
tons had been warmly welcomed by
every European nation, and 1t seemed
that no private alliances would be
necessary, since every nation belonged
to the League. Unfortunately, how
ever, the League had not disposed of
the old fears and suspicious and new
political combinations were formed not
long after the signature of the Ver-
sailles treaty. The nations which had
gained territorial advantages after the
end of the World War were drawn to-
gether by the fear that some day the
defeated nations may want to change
the peace treaties. Offensive and de-.
fensive alliances were formed in order
to preserve intact the treaties of Ver-
sailles, Trianon and Neuilly. The de-

In Europe today is at least as bad, II

New War Possible.
It was predicted that the World War
would result in a much impoverished
Europe, territorial readjustments and
certain social changes caused by the
disappearance of few lettering
thrones. A new European conhagra-
ton may result. according to those who
have been carefully investigating the
situation, in a complete collapse of the
present forms of government in Eu-
rope. A new war Is bound to have an
equally disastrous effect on the VIC
torious as well as on the defeated ma
tons; it will bring economic hardship,
social unrest, and with these, inevitably,
revolutions People in the United
States who are fully aware of the i'm
portance Of a quiet, settled Europe hope
