 Did you stop to think that the difference be- tween advertised and nonadvertised products the same that which exists between the modern trans Atlantic liners and the ancient barques?
 In fair weather the barque may make good pro- gress but it rival the speed of the modern transatlantic liner. In the doldrums it stands be- camed drifts with the tde and in the storm it goes wherever the winds and the may take it; whilst the transatlantic liner pursues its steady per- haps with variable speed, but without mishap.

Balanced Budget Talk
 Takes National Stage
By BYRON PRICE Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Talk of balanced National bud get for the coming year, indefinite though it is, has electrified the post-election interim as few other developments could possibly have done
 Such consummation may turn out, in the end, to be only a dream. Figures are stubborn things, when marshalled into cold columns on the ledger The difficulties in the way of an actual balance are very great. Yet there is challenging significance in the mere fact that responsible officials speak of the possibility.
 The apprehension and hesitation which has lowered so long over the business community may be traced to three principal causes.
 One has been the fear of infla- tion-a general distrust of the cur rency. The international stabiliza- tion agreement has done a great deal to dissipate that distrust, and not so much is heard about it as formerly
 Another has been uncertainty as to further government regulation of business. Now the trend of affairs on that score seems definitely to- ward sweet reasonableness. J Government gestures of friendliness are followed by business expressions of returning trust and confidence The third fly in the ointment has been the budget. Big and little business men have wondered wheth- CT the Governments habit of liv- ing beyond it's income could be broken before it reached the stage of a wrecked credit structure. Real assurance on that point should con- tribute heavily to the present up- ward swing of recovery.
