ADS SEEN BOON
TO S0APTR

The soap industry owes much
of it's prosperity to advertising.
Although soap admittedly is a
necessity, its consumption has
been greatly stimulated by the
widespread publicity given to
various cleansing agents and by
the resulting use of more soap
and less labor in the cleaning Of
clothes, homes, etc. Consequently,
the per capita consumption Of
soap in the United States is con-
Siderably above that in most
other nations, according to a
current analysis Of the Standard
Statistics Company.
The expense of advertising has
become an important item in soap
costs. Sales promotion and dis
tributing OUTLAWS are estimated
to represent between Is and 80
per cent of the operating ex.
penSe of the average producer.
AS operations are highly mocha
nized, labor expense probably &C
counts for only about per cent
Of operating charges. The most
important cost element is raw
material. which requires about a
third Of operating expenditures.
The analysis added:
Soap consumption can be ex-
pected to remain fairly stable in
the future, but manufacturers
may derive modest benefits from
factors such as population
growth, larger exports and an
increasing demand for more ex-
pensive and more profitable
soap lines. Dollar sales, Of
course, will fluctuate with prices,
and changes in profit margins,
rejecting competitive conditions
and commodity price trends, will
be the principal cause of varia-
tiOns in profits"

MARKET KEEPS
FIRM FRONT IN
DULL TRADE
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June II GN.SJ.
The stock market maintained a
generally firm front today, al
though trading slowed down APP
probably.
Profit-taking at the opening re-
suited in an irregular market.
Demand for motors and farm
equipments and merchandising
shares checked realizing and the
list turned generally higher.
General Motors and ChrySler
gained about a point each. while
Auburn did slightly better. In
Steels, Bethlehem and U. S. Steel
advanced fractionally.
Improved traffic reported for
the nations carriers helped rail
shares, although gains were of
nominal proportions.

NEW YORK, June II G.N.s).
Rallying sharply after opening
easineSs, the cotton market es-
tablished new highs for the year
in the new crop contracts.
Liverpool, the Continent, the
Far East and the trade were
among the principal buyers, while
the selling came from the South
and locals.
The October contract crossed
the 11-cent mark, marking the
first time that any new-crop
month has sold above this figure
since December 10, 1885. While
this was the only new-crop month
to achieve the figure, other
months were only few points
below.
Toward noon the market turned
somewhat quieter after the fair
forenoon buying and prices eased
somewhat from best levels. July

Crusade Urged

In another great crisis in
American history, that great
Republican, Abraham Lincoln,
said: Fellow citizens, we can
not escape history. We. will
be remembered in spite Of our
selves. No personal significance
or insignificance can spare one
or another of us. The fiery trail
through which we pass will light
us down in honor or diShonor to
the latest generation We
even we here-hold the power
and bear the responsibility. We
shall nobly save or meanly lose
the last, best hope Of earth. D..
The way is plain A way
which, if followed, the world
will forever applaud"
Republicans and fellow-Ameri-
cans! This is your call. Stop
the retreat. In the chaos of
doubt, confusion and fear,
yours is the task to command.
Stop the retreat, and turning
the eyes of your fellow-Ameri-
cans to the sunlight of freedom,
lead the attack to retake, re-
capture and re-man the citadeIs
of liberty. Thus can America
be preserved. Thus can the
peace, plenty and security be re-
. established and expanded. Thus
can the opportunity, the inheri-
lance and the spiritual future Of
your children be guaranteed.
And thus you will win the graft
tude of poSterity and the bless
ing of Almighty God.

Freedom. Prosperity

Throughout the land there are
multitudes Of people who have
listened to the songs Of sirens.
Thousands of men, If put to
the choice, would willingly ex-
change liberty for fancied Sc
curity even under dictatorship.
Under their distress they uoubt
the value of their own rights
and liberties, They do not see
the Constitution as a fortress for
their deliverance. They have
been led to believe that it is an
iron cage against which the
wings of idealism beat in vain.
They do not realize that their
only relief and their hope of
economic security can come only
from the enterprise and initia-
tive Of free men.
Let this convention declare
without shrinking, the source
of economic prosperity is free
dom. Man must be free to use
his own powers in his own way.
Free to think, to speak, to wor-
ship. Free to plan his own life.
Free to use his own initiative.
Free to dare in his own adven-
ture. It is the essence Of true
liberalism that these freedoms
are limited by the rights of
others.
Freedom both requires and
makes increased responsibilities.
There is no freedom from ex-
ploitation of the weak or from
the dead hand of bureaucracy.
There's something vastly big
ger than pay rolls, than eco
Monies, than materialism at
issue in this campaign. The
free spirit of men is the source
of self-respect, Of sturdiness, of
moral and spiritual progress.
With the inspirations of free
dom come fidelity to public
trust, honor and morals in gov
eminent. The social order does
not rest upon orderly economic
freedom alone. 1t rests even
more upon the ideals and char
acter of a people. Governments
must express those ideals in
frugality, in justice, in courage,
in decency. and in regard for
the less fortunate, and above
all in honor. Nations die when
these weaken. no matter what
their material prosperity.
Fundamental American hber-
ties are at stake. Is the Repub-
lican party ready for the is
sue? Are you willing to cast
your all upon the issue, or
would you falter and look back?
Will you, for expediency's sake,
also offer will-o'-the-wiSps which
beguile the people? Or have
you determined to enter in a
holy crusade for liberty which
shall determine the future and

President Takes Hand
In Labor Union Split

President Roosevelt today ap-
peared to be taking a direct hand
in the split between national labor
leaders.
Following the visit to the White
House yesterday of William Green.
president of the American Fedora,
ton of Labor, it was announced he
merely had discussed some NRA
results.
Today. however, visitors to the
White House included John l..
Lewis, head of the United Mine
Workers, which is waging an open
fight with the A. F. of L. over
the threatened steel strike situa.
ton, and Edward F. McGrady.
Assistant Secretary of Labor and
chief policy-maker for that de.
partment.
The appearance of these two
men at the White House today
placed an entirely different aspect
on the reason for Green's call
at the Executive Mansion yester.
day.
Administration leaders fear the
threatened strike of the steel
workers feeling diSsenSion would
result between the strikers and
the public generally.

Wendell, a former Trenton at
