Business is gamble. 1t Is the prospect of big
rewards that leads men to risk capital their repu-
tations and their futures. That's what leads men to
dig up new ideas, to invent things, to start
new businesses. The penalty of failure is heavy
SO unless the rewards of success are great, where
is the blood that builds industry and business
coming from?"
This business is about to advertise a new

That was 80 years ago. Since
then the British cooperative
movement has grown into thou
sands of modern stores. These
stores have set up their two big
wholesale houses, one in Scotland,
one in England. These wholesalers
in turn have moved back toward
production.
THEY own more than $50 fac
- tories and mills. They buy
their own wheat in Canada, han
die it through their own elevators,
grind it in their own mills, bake it
in their own bakeries, and deliver
it to the consumer in their own
trucks.
The cooperative movement has
become the largest single business
in Great Britain. It's banking
business is second only to that of
the Bank of England. Half of the
families of England and Scotland
are members of coop societies.
And the idea is spreading faster
every day.
The idea moved to Sweden,
where practically every commod-
ity was controlled in price by a
monopoly. Since 1918 the Swedish
co-operatives have broken or
brought into control every trust in
Sweden.
There consumer cooperation is
fast becoming the national eco
nomic order. 1t sets the prices
for most commodities. And it is
run by the people themselves. The
Swedes call it economic democ-
racy.
1t went to Denmark and re-
made that little country. Fin
land imported it and became a
democratic commonwealth, even
before she came from under Rus
sian rule.

While the younger players pre-

would have been the outcome of

years more and that they might

The Navy is sure that it's going

some officials in other quarters.
Nobody seems to know how either

at least, has a goal.

Washington Merry Go-Round
BY DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON. April 6.-The
w Rust brothers, inventors of
the revolutionary cotton picking
machine, have refused to sell one
of their machines to the Argen-
tine government.
1t had been ordered by Gov.
Castells of the Chaco province,
which is speeding cotton cultiva-
ton in competition with the
United States.
The Rust brothers have been
willing to forego profits on their
invention in order that it may not
help competition abroad, also may
not throw too many Southern
tenant farmers out of work.
Note-Argentine cotton fields
chief need is labor or labor saving
machinery.
MFRS. ROOSEVELT caused
1V1 great CONSERVATION to the
French government the other day.
In her daily column, written
shortly after Hitler had re-
militarized the Rhineland, she
discussed the moves for peace
able settlement of the matter
and said:
mo one denies that the Ver-
sailles Treaty was unjust in many
ways and that revisions should
be made. 1t is quite evident, how
ever, that Germany has ignored
the agreements under the Lo-
carno PactS, but it seems more
profitable to talk this over than
to fight it out again to an un-
satisfactory finish and to have
another peace built on revenge
and fears"
Since bitter opposition to treaty
revision is the keynote of the
French policy toward Germany,
the French embassy. Mortified,
cabled the exact text to the
French Foreign Office in Paris.
To what extent was Mrs. Roose-
welt speaking for herself? TO
what extent was she voicing the
views of her husband? That is
the burning question which
neither the embassy nor the for
eign Office yet has been able to
answer.

The organ began to play and a min

swelled louder, a girl beautifully at
tired and followed by bevy Of pretty
maids, came down the aisle, where
she was met by a gentleman.
But it was not until the minister
began to speak and his Dearly be-
loved, We are gathered together to-
